yeah I have one why was the link deleted to mine and my dh's pics? they were not on the site its self it was just a url?
You know, shit like this makes me so PROUD to be an American! Fuck freedom of speech, expresion or anything else, let the prudes take over. I love censorship in all its forms. "lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person"??? So when I'm eating my girlfriend, is that illegal? GOD BLESS AMERICA!
If you pulled the stick out of your ass you would notice that my comment was not directed at this web site, nor at you or the rules as they are written. It was directed at the political state of this nation and the fact that some people in our government have nothing better to do than worry about what adults are posting and or looking at in the privacey of theire own home. I fully believe in and use CYA (cover yer ass). How ever, I am sick to death of my government telling me what I can look at, watch, read or in some states, what I can do in my own damn bedroom. I understand why you have the rules you have. I don't, how ever, like the reasons for them or agree with them.
No hardcore pics allowed in AmPics. It doesn't matter that they're linked from outside sources.
So how about the photos linked in this thread?

I fail to see how these photos are acceptable but a photo of my husband's hand resting on my belly is a no-no!

I have no authority over the GB. You have to take any questionable issues over there directly to the Admins. I have enough on my plate with the SRP and AmPic forums. Also, a pic of your husbands hand on you stomach should be fine. Was it deleted?
Nothing personal against you, Paen. You sound like a nice person and I'm sure you are also doing your best to be a fair Mod.
I am merely puzzled by how are rules applied in Lit. It seems that hard-core porn is acceptable in certain sections of Lit and, at the same time, soft-core or merely erotica is banned from other sections. I'm trying to find some logic in it but I fail miserably.
Dec '05, that's when all this propriety hysteria started.
Here's where they were deleted from http://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=237631&postid=15342954#post15342954
and here are the two photos I am talking about...

As far as I'm concerned you can put them both back up. We have no issue with pictures of genitalia . . . it's the gaping "here is my pussy" shots that I've been asked to remove. The same goes for men. A man reclined, or standing, with an erection is fine. Just no simulated masturbatory pics. I removed the most popular pic from my own thread because of that. It was a picture of me wearing a shirt and tie, partially undone . . . fully clothed, with one exception. My hand wrapped around my very erect cock. Since I don't have it in me to be a hypocrite, I removed it, and any other pics I had of me in similar poses.

Goatchick, that's like saying "If you don't like America the way it is, move to some other country." Americans have a history of fighting for our freedoms, and working to make things better.
Martin Luther King Jr could have moved to England, or any other number of countries where race was not a legal impediment to being a fully functioning citizen. Had he left, it may have taken many more years to bring Civil Liberties to minorities.
I have countless friends here, and there's a culture unique to lit that isn't found on other sites. I don't think it wrong, or inappropriate, to advocate for improvements when improvements can be made.
I guess that, for me, Paendragon's comments seemed dismissive, rather than dealing with these issues in a substantive way.
Through honest and meaningful dialog, we can tap into the collective energy and intelligence of the lit community and find ways to advocate for positive change. I cannot see that as a bad thing. Lit's owners and mods should facilitate it, not try to squeltch it.
Whether you like it or not, the porn police are out there, and if they find content objectionable on here, it's not you they're going to go after, it's the site owners.
Frankly, I'm getting tired of all of the whining about it. You know the rules. There is a link to them on every single page in the entire forum, not to mention a sticky at the top of the AmPics board. If you're unhappy with the rules, then perhaps you should consider canceling your payment plan for your subscription to Literotica. What? You don't pay anything to post here? Wow. Then maybe you should cut the owners a bit of slack for wanting to cover their own assets.
all this complainin serves no purpose.
almost seems to me that you are sayin you could come into my home and do stuff i don't like just because this is america......i own my house, it will be my rules or move on....
There are plenty of advocacy groups out there you could paticipate in. I have a link to one in my sigline that's already gotten some of the laws that forced a change in the Lit Forums overturned.This is the comment I was speaking to. If you re-read my comments, I was not complaining about the rules. I was making suggestions about how the Lit owners could create a resource to help the lit community advocate for a change in the law through support of political and social organizations.
I also suggested a way that the Lit owners could protect themselves, legally, from civil and governmental litigation.
Both are good ideas, and should be considered, not simply dismissed as complaining.
Also, I am just curious: How many citations from the 'porn police' have been issued to Lit? I ask because, right now, there are dozens of images on the Am Pic thread that violate the rules, and the law.
This seems quite sarcastic, and dismissive, to me. Perhaps I should suggest that, if Paendragon can't handle the criticism of his actions, no matter how well intended or supported by the rules, that he should step down as mod. After all, we all know that the law requires dispassionate and even handed enforcement.
Um. No. That's not what I was saying. I not once ever suggested a change in the rules. What I suggested was the creation of an advocacy resource so that Lit members could support a change in the Federal Laws that gave rise to the rules. Can you see the difference?
If you'd like to put something together, go for it. I'll talk to them, and sticky it if it gets their approval.
Thanks for the helpfully information. We have been trying to get my/our pics and threads as well as our submitted stories deleted for ages as some idiot blocked me from deleting my own thread or images ages ago, and we no longer want out thisngs on here. we have asked many times over the last few years to have them deleted but no one even answers us. At least now after reading this We know we can just start uploading full and close up sex pics, pics of sex with animals and children and then report them. hopefully then you idiots will delete our threads and pics as we requested as well as our stories that we do not wish to be on this site, but no one will answer us on how to get them off of this site!!!! Want to contact me and talk about this? susan0410t@hotmail.com or else aussie_teacher@hotmail.com. Maybe now someone will talk to us and help us get out of here after all our things are deleted!!!
Have sent you a private message with names of threads and a few details etc and hope in fact you can delete them.Stories have to go to the siteowners. I can't delete them. I can, however delete any pic threads you wish, although I'm curious as to how you were stopped from removing your own pictures.
