If the general consensus seems to point to somethingnot being in good taste (as it appears with this post), then it does suggest a line has been crossed somewhere, regardless of there being no rules.

but is it actually a general consensus, or is it just people following a trend from the first reply?I've seen some posts on b3ta that have been absolutely fine, but because the first reply was "FAIL", there were plenty of replies following it also saying FAIL :D

Bit of bothI'd say. But sometimes more one than the other.

Yes but what I'm getting at isthat if you say "we can't have that because some of us don't like it" then I and others have every right to call for censorship of anything we don't like. Then the question of "Where is the line" becomes even more important.
I think if you can't realise what is bad taste then it's just a limitation of your brain function. But I also think if you can't discern what is an utter shite piece of photoshopping and decide not to waste a thread with it then you are also a bit dysfunctional or so desperate for peer interaction that any attention will do for you.

Even severly autistic people can learn basic social interactionbut they have to be taught.
I think censorship is more an independent body deciding what is and isn't good for the general population (mods have that power)
So we are not demanding censorship, just letting somebody know we don't like it. If they post something good at a later date then I'll likely say I like it. Isn't that a large part of b3ta?

It's not like I disagree with your sentiment.More that I'm trying to be devil's advocate. It's just not workable at b3ta. Plus we may have mods but we have no moderation beyond removal of spam and linking large images.
