The Last Thing You Thought...

Honestly, I don't know why I'm polite at all. Even when solid and adult points are made the most juvenile responses are given. There's a reason I treat you all like miscreant children. You sound like them.

It's a fucking nude picture thread. Who gives a shit?

touche. The pics and gifs still exist on the internet.
 
Yes. It's not at all about the principle. Or inconsistent moderation with no answers to valid question.

An adult would recognize that the fault lies in the user, inevitably, because whether moderated inconsistently or not the rules for our board were clearly stated. Further, an adult wouldn't give a shit, because an adult would understand that this porn board is operated by a handful of people making money on advertising and they delegate things like forum moderation to volunteers because they couldn't give a shit what the users actually think.

And therefore, by design, an adult wouldn't give a shit either.

But no. We're going to all pretend we're so offended by the principle of fair and equal rights and just abhor the fact it's not happening on a porn board. Because, of course, it's so prevalent in the real world for things to be fair and equal. Just ask black people. Or homosexuals. Or women.

You're all fucking children.

I was polite because I thought the legalities that would produce those kinds of rules were something most hadn't considered. Then, after the constant bitching, I realized that like most things here it was about sounding pseudo intelligent and lending faux support to a cause nobody actually gave a shit about.

It's about being whiny and false and "kind" to one another. Even if in this case kind is so clearly insincere.

Whatever, honestly. I shouldn't have bothered. I should have known better.

Inject a little sense into this place and you're bound to be disgusted by the reactions. I shouldn't bother and up until this point haven't for the better part of two years.

Yes, the rules were very clearly stated.

The problem is that they were clearly stated as differently than they were enforced, as I've pointed out. One set of rules either doesn't apply in one part of the forum but does in another, or they're simply being enforced wildly inconsistently. And how truly terrible that someone would want to know which it is. I'm sure it's an issue that won't ever come up again, either.

But please, don't let me interrupt your ranting. It can't be said that it's not at least entertaining.

Missing the forest for the proverbial trees but by this point I'm not surprised. I'm sorry the inconsistency of volunteer moderation on a porn board is so offensive to you. I am, however, very impressed with your problem solving attitude and positive community spirit. I think you should apply to moderate and help put forward an action plan to solve these things on your own.

There is obviously a terrible need for it. I'm not sure how we'll go on if it doesn't get fixed soon.
 
*chuckle* This so reminds me of when I was younger and use to get in trouble with my mom. "But Mom... he did it too..." *points* Her reply always was, "Young lady, never mind about what your brother did, we're talking about you."

Personally, I could care a fig less what goes on elsewhere on Lit. What I do care about is that we keep losing a thread, this makes twice. If we can keep it within the rules for Veroe in VI, there's no reason why it can't be done for a GIF thread.

That, at least, is a proactive attitude with an adult taste. Again, I'm not surprised you're the one saying this. It's one of the reasons that I adore you amongst the many worthless sacks of shit that inhabit this place.

The funny thing is, almost every gif posted came from tumblr, another organization that has basically zero ability to verify the age and/or consent of anyone depicted in those images.

Never mind the fact that you would also need to have that information for any nude models, which are clearly allowed to Lit's rules.

Or the fact that Lit still has no ability to verify the ages of anyone posting pictures in the AmPic forum.

And all of this seems to be the crux of your argument.

It's further than that, though.

The legal protections you're talking about go beyond age restricted portal access and involve the registering and validation of models and/or performers. That exists so any inspection that comes along Lit would have the ability to prove, beyond doubt, that any and all images were made with consenting adults involved.

But, when you have random users throwing pictures up from a million different locations, there's no way to assert or track down any of the required information.

That's why they have the ban in place.

If that's why the ban is in place, then the ban should be for all images. Otherwise, it makes no sense. Posting a naked 16 year old who's standing against a white background is just as illegal as posting a naked 16 year old who's being gang banged. Under the way they seem to be occasionally enforcing the rules, only one of them would actually be a violation of their rules, and only one of those pictures would be deleted. They'd still have no way of verifying the age of the 16 year old that's just standing there. Just as tumblr has no way of verifying the age of the woman James Deen is fucking in the twenty thousand gifs on their site, that are actually hosted on their servers.

Anyway, this is the part where you call people children some more.
 
It's funny.

You still have -no- idea what I'm saying. I'm explaining where the rules came from. I'm not arguing that Literotica might be poorly managing them. What I'm saying, and what you just can't understand, is that you SHOULDN'T CARE.

I know. It's hard to imagine. But Lit is so important. And honestly, even if it isn't so important to you, FAIRNESS IS A PRINCIPLE THAT NEEDS TO SUSTAIN.

I get it.

But wait.

No, seriously.


Wait.

Here it is.

It's a porn board.

There are, literally, hundreds.

And wait. Here's more.

YOU can help solve this terrible problem. You can volunteer. You can save us all. You can ensure that your principles, because that's what this is about, aren't offended by the way this for-profit porn board is operated. You can save us, the little people, and make sure that all threads on this porn board are moderated the same.

Or, in the very least, you can try.

But, I know, that's such a pain in the ass. Solving a problem on a porn board you don't care enough to solve, but care enough to bitch and whine about, is too much to ask.

Well, here's an even better solution.































Stop giving a shit.


Just a thought.

I explained where the rules might have come from. I didn't defend, or care to defend, how they're enforced. For some reason it's hard for me to take it seriously given the fact that this place is a cess pit of perversion and nobody here really is here for fair and equal treatment. We're here to write porn. I know that so many of us pretend it is about friends and love and all the things it isn't about...

but it's about porn.

So, I don't know. You might want to take a little bit of perspective with that in mind and stop pretending you give a shit about how the forums are moderated. Or, if you really are crazy enough to care, go ahead and moderate.

Either way, seriously?

Come. On.
 
Yes. Because to be a moderator, all you have to do is volunteer!

It is, though, a strange thing to tell someone else not to care, when you seem to be talking about this just as much.

But either way, I appreciate you being the arbiter of what I do and do not care about. I've been needing one of those.
 
You don't get it. You won't get it. It's OK. Most people here don't, either. You'll fit in much better than I ever will.
 
Oh! It finally got warm enough for the boys to haul the AC in from the garage...

Wait... Why am I the one getting dirty and dusty putting the AC together?! I don't even work in the room the AC will reside in!

... Though moving down there might not be a bad idea now...

Totally. Thanks for reminding me why I like ya so much
 
Reading all this pseudo drama while half asleep on the way to OC is making me feel kind of amused. its interesting to say the least.
