Here's a fun fucking Internet Fact for you.
If I don't mod stupid posts, I get earache from the people who think I should.
If I do mod them because someone complains, I get earache from people who think I shouldn't.

Basically b3th, you should mod:
People being pricks above and beyond the general background level of prickery
Actual porn or genuine nasty shit in images.

Anything else? Tell Chompy to stop whining and do some work if he doesn't like being bollocked for looking at 'inappropriate' internet.

I'm pretty sure AB's behaviour is a stepping offence.
You should step him for his disregard for your moderation of his post.

Do B3th's semi-mod powers extend that far?

( Amorous Badger NAKED BEA ARTHUR PHOTOS 4U, Mon 25 Mar 2013, 20:46, Reply)

If they do she is being incredibly sparing with them.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 25 Mar 2013, 20:47, Reply)

I try to go by board guidelines.
Basically, if someone takes offence but they're being a pussy, I leave it.
If it's personal information such as real names etc, I remove it.
If it's a picture that might be considered NSFW by some bosses, I edit it.
Also, if the pictures are big enough to be seen from space, I edit them.

If people complain and I think they have a point, i have a word with the posters in question. Anyone who them bitches and whines to everyone else is a playground bully.

It doesn't really matter what he's holding.
It's three naked men, and most people on this board are at work during the day.

People who were at work in the day also complained about it.
Whichever way we go, someone's going to be upset.
I guess the only answer is to hand /OT over to /talk and let them kill our board the way they've killed theirs.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Mon 25 Mar 2013, 21:23, Reply)

Perhaps ban the whiners who should be doing their jobs?

See now, I avoid getting into trouble for looking at inappropriate material at work by doing some work, rather than dick about on the internet.

It might at least save them from being sacked for gross misconduct,
and consequently spending the rest of their lives in compulsory unpaid jobseeker schemes.

I don't see the point in distinguishing people by different boards
As far as I'm concerned there are two groups: people who post and people who don't.
I know which I find more interesting.

How is the content of that picture, aside from the seamlessy shopped in penis,
any different to a picture of a woman in a bikini, which would arguably be allowed? No rude bits are on show.
( BraynDedd Natasha Kaplinsky's labia majora, Mon 25 Mar 2013, 21:22, Reply)

I guess that depends on your boss.

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Mon 25 Mar 2013, 21:23, Reply)

But I'm asking you, as a mod, why it's different.

( BraynDedd Natasha Kaplinsky's labia majora, Mon 25 Mar 2013, 21:24, Reply)

Because Chompy was caught looking at naked men and a flawlessly shopped cock by his boss.

( Amorous Badger NAKED BEA ARTHUR PHOTOS 4U, Mon 25 Mar 2013, 21:26, Reply)

But isn't he going out with someone who takes their clothes off for money?
Surely he's a bit more open minded about this kind of thing?
( BraynDedd Natasha Kaplinsky's labia majora, Mon 25 Mar 2013, 21:27, Reply)

I'll be honest here, I'm just pulling Chompy's name out the hat because he..
...threw a wobbler after his boss caught him looking at a Beth Ditto image that JMG posted on here. It probably wasn't him, it could have been any one of the regulars who've been posting on here all day and voting it onto the PP.

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 25 Mar 2013, 21:30, Reply)

Well, personally, I don't have a boss, so it shouldn't matter to me.
but if someone posted a picture of a woman in a bikini on /OT during work hours, and someone else complained, then I would link it, yes.

Just think about TV watersheds. If they wouldn't put it on BBC during the day, don't post it on /OT.

Then again, I'm just going by what it's been like during the last few years. If it's time to change the format, and the majority wants pictures of naked Chegwins and that, then they're welcome to it, and those of us that don't like it can fuck off to somewhere else.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Mon 25 Mar 2013, 21:29, Reply)

But they do put pictures of women in bikinis on before the watershed, on holiday programmes and such.
Would Badger's picture have been acceptable if the blokes were wearing thongs?
( BraynDedd Natasha Kaplinsky's labia majora, Mon 25 Mar 2013, 21:31, Reply)

I don't know.
Maybe I'm the one in the wrong. Maybe that's what /OT should really be about, and I should fuck off to mumsnet.
