Sounds good to me.

It's just weird seeing nude avatars all around LiveWire... I mean, this isn't a porn site...

Do you really consider the majority of this site mature enough to know the difference?

Some consultation would have been nice.  

 If a topic like this had been posted before you removed my >2 year old image months ago (not in the 'past few days' as you noted), allowing me and others an opportunity for input, I would have recommended all previously approved images remain on the servers and for these new rules to be applied to new images only.  

 It's not fair to go removing old images without explanation, leaving the members to do the detective work themselves and then months later make an official announcement about the new 'rules'.


Do you know what the image was named? If so I can find out who deleted it, or if you can link it to me I will be able to check it out.


As I said, it was months ago, so I don't remember. It was 'bikini' something or other. I already went through this (linking to an externally hosted image) with a mod when it happened anyway, and I don't have the link or the image with me now.

The guidelines for these images should be applied to images from now and the past. Images are relevant for there here and now but something like a topic from a long time ago isn't (if a new guideline was brought out and a topic was affected from a long time ago).
Just as it's not fair to remove topics that were created years ago, it's not fair to remove an image that's been up for years either.

You don't remove old topics because it makes other content (images, topics, posts or otherwise) appear out of context and because it is a piece of history. The same goes for images. I had posted this particular image numerous times in the forums and now those posts won't make sense. The image is also a piece of my LiveWire history as it was one of the first images I uploaded here and I had comments dating back 2 years or so.


Someone must of found your image, either reported it to a mod or messaged it. Or a mod came across it when looking at your images in general.
I figured as much. I can understand with a fresh image, but when the image has been up for over 2 years it's a bit of a surprise.

Someone can find an image from a while ago just as easy as one uploaded a few days ago.

With topics its harder to find them.

We can't leave some images up and others don't when they all apply to the guidelines, time isn't a deciding factor in it.

We aren't not punishing you in any way for taking the image down, we are just keeping LiveWire upto date.

time out.

Based on that logic, I have a brilliant way to get the united states out of debt!

First, record every single person who drives on the freeway for the next year.

Then, lower the speed limit on the freeway to 5.

Then, ticket everyone who traveled on the freeway in the last year!

Yes it is. Everyone who traveled on the freeway got to get to their location much faster. We must make them pay.

I guess the equivalent wouldn't be a ticket, it'd be impounding the car.

The point is that it's annoying when people make rules and then apply them to times that had different rules - at least give people notice (ie your image will be deleted in 3 days and heres why) so they can save it or whatevs.

Not the same. They weren't speeding at the time of the modified limit. In this case, the images are on our servers with the new rules. They are subject to deletion because they are currently breaking our announced rules.

Yeah, that doesn't change that they got where they are going faster and are still living their lives an hour or more ahead of how it should be.

I demand a grandfather clause. Despite only having 1 picture of me. Wait, robes are cool, right?

No, but this is a "support site", no? They can still ask questions about sex, drugs and rock and roll. And usually get some reasonable answers. I was just trying to tell one of these lost children they had the wrong idea about what makes up porn. He seems to have the idea that what went on yesterday was pornographic. It wasn't, it was simply inappropriate.
