How could I possibly be the loudest and most adamant member on the team when this underwear policy was developed before I was even a moderator?  All I did was tell you guys that underwear isn't allowed.  If you call that "loud and adamant," then okay.  lol

We have no developed policy on what to do with pictures of people covering their penises.  Common sense would tell me, however, that if we don't allow underwear covering penises to be accepted, then we also wouldn't allow hands covering penises to be accepted.

There were no others posting "NO underwear" responses nearly as often as you or as emphatically. And since it seems to have been a 'policy' developed just between admin and mods, how would 'we' know when it came about?

Well, if there is no policy, there is NO policy. And I haven't heard of hands being equated to underwear before. That's not exactly what I'd call common sense.

Sometimes you have to keep it simple stupid.  Ask any mod if underwear is allowed on this website, if they know what they are talking about, they will say, "No, underwear is not allowed." - Are you upset about the clearness of my answer?  Our policy says no underwear.  How would you have preferred me to explain it?

That's because you lack common sense, unfortunately.  As a moderator, there are many times you come across something that isn't exactly spelled out for you - this is one of those cases.  It's clear to me that hands covering a penis would not be allowed on this website when we don't allow underwear either.  

Sorry you can't see how I could possibly come to such a conclusion.

Are honestly mentally retarded? If you said yes, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

We don't allow underwear pictures. We don't allow nude pictures. So to get a racy image through our image approval system, you have to cover your genitals with your hand. THAT MAKES SENSE!

Like really, just use your common sense when you think about these things. Obviously we aren't going to allow an image like that. Stop being so desperate to prove Pro wrong and use your brain for once. We have policies that make it clear that that kind of image shouldn't be allowed. Sorry we didn't dumb it down enough for you.

Dear Audrey, look through Pro's replies here and see if you can find him mentioning anything at all about any policy on nudity. His comparing underwear to hands is the silliness I was commenting on. Your inability to read tells me that maybe I should have 'dumbed down' my responses so that you would be able to understand them.

"Desperate to prove Pro wrong"? No, a person doesn't have to be desperate, only observant.

Your confusion isn't surprising. Someone who thinks hands are in the same category as underwear probably walks around in a fog most of the time. Is your next 'crusade' going to be against pictures of people with hands?

There is no need for a crusade.  Luckily, unlike you, all of the current moderators can critically think enough to realize that if we have a policy that outlaws underwear covering penises, it's common sense to also not allow hands covering penises.

Tell me why the 'nudity' policy couldn't be used for that purpose. That, to me, would be the more 'critically' thought-out response. Apparently not to you, though.

I do understand why you might not be anxious to go on another crusade. Going 'rogue' doesn't exactly win a lot friends or gain a lot of respect, does it. It mainly makes you look like a spoiled, petulant child.

Either one would work.  I'm sorry that you can't see that you can reach a conclusion two different ways.  Some might automatically rule it out because of the nudity policy, others might automatically rule it out through concluding that if underwear isn't allowed, then neither would covering a penis with hands.  

How, exactly, did Audrey, PoP and I go rogue?

Lol, seriously? Not allowing pics of nude people is one of the most basic guidelines we have here.

A mod doesn't have to tell you something isn't allowed. Maybe you should try using those reading skills you're so proud of and check out our image guidelines.

Apparently she's upset that I said, "We wouldn't allow that image because we don't allow underwear, so naturally, we wouldn't allow hands covering penises either."

Instead, she wanted me to say, "We wouldn't allow that image because we don't allow nudity, so naturally, we wouldn't allow hands covering penises either."

Desperate to prove Pro wrong rings true!

A conspiracy to push the guidelines to the limit in order to get your way, in opposition to the majority of the "team", would constitute going 'rogue', don't you think?

I don't see why anyone would even think of the 'no underwear' policy if there was no underwear in the picture. And I don't believe that just the covering of a penis is the reason for the underwear ban.

We used an existing policy and pushed it to the limit to make a point. We didn't go rogue. We just stepped outside of the box and showed the other mods the consequences of the policy rather than arguing about it endlessly.

Other mods didn't see the problem so we made them see it. We didn't break guidelines though.

And his explanation made perfect sense. If we don't allow underwear, why would we allow something that covers less than underwear. It's better than the nudity explanation because it actually covers more than what is covered in a nude picture.
