Just read the most recent rule proposal and argument - I agree with stevep here. Posting pictures of women in and of itself is not bad; I would rephrase the rule as to something like 'images posted with the explicit intent of sexual arousal are prohibited.' Frankly there should be some leeway, and we should make it clear that we reserve the right to decide on edge cases. |

Thanks everybody for the valuable input, have removed the rule and me and the mods will look on case to case basis if it is appropriate for the forum.

Looks like I'm too late to the party - but, I'll offer my thoughts anyway  . In my opinion, posting pictures of women isn't problematic in and of itself. In fact, even posting pictures of women in minimal clothing isn't something I'd consider problematic: there are cases where even that is appropriate (for example, if a member wants to post holiday photos of themselves at the beach, then they'll probably have some women in bikinis in the background). Like spanishspy says, it only becomes a problem when the images are sexually-oriented. However, I would include sexually-oriented cartoon pictures in this, because some of those get pretty raunchy at times. Furthermore, I wouldn't restrict it to just women: I'd consider sexually-oriented pictures of men (or, indeed, of non-binary people) to be just as problematic! |

Just don't start a zombie apocalypses please. Have a good time. Don’t worry I think that we’re the apocalypse in Arkansas we would all be fine. The level of guns and rednecks there would protect us, along with a nonexistent population density. Also, I’m back! |

So i was thinking of creating Rule XIII which would clarify what happens to a TL if somebody leaves ore gets banned from the forum, want to hear members toughs on it:
Rule XIII: When a member is banned ore deleted he ore she can request the deletion of any TLs ore it to be placed in a area of the forum that regular members can not visit by contacting alternate.timelines01@gmail.com. Threads related to the TLs will not be removed if other members have already posted in it, only the TLs will be deleted and the threads will be closed by the Administrator (Lordroel) or a moderator (Inspector General).

Just to clarify please? By threads relating to the TL do you mean if say there's another thread set up say for comments then that stays but the main TL only thread is removed to another location, or deleted if no one else has posted in it? If so then looks fine.
I was a little uncertain because I think in the past your said no TL would be deleted unless everybody who has posted in it had approved that. As such wasn't sure whether by threads you meant that if a TL the former member wanted deleted had posts in it by others than this new rule wouldn't apply. However thinking about it I suspect I was misreading and that your proposed rule is so that such threads can now be deleted? Or am I totally misreading something?
Steve
