Sure, but where is the line?
Someone posts a butt
next guy posts boobs
next guy posts a set of shaven nadds
someone decides underage nudes are 'art'
each user tries to up the anti to figure out WHERE the line is drawn
To avoid 'deciding' what is good for RHP, none is allowed.
Hope YOU can understand this.

BTW, the TOS states this under Section 3 - Registration Obligations
In consideration of your use of the Service, [b]you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract
As far as I know, 13 year olds aren't of legal age to form a binding contract in either the US, UK or anywhere else I know of. So w ...[text shortened]... e to the tender sensibilities of people who really shouldn't be using it according to the TOS?[/b]
Children under the age of 18 can enter into certain types of contracts.
Insurance contracts and contracts for necessities are two examples.

Originally posted by PhlabibitUnless you disallow pictures entirely, you'll always have to figure out where to draw the line. Does the ban on nudity include sculptures or paintings? Does it include naked animals (I'd better change my avatar then)? It obviously includes partial nudity, which again means there will be borderline cases. So your slippery slope argument doesn't work very well.

Anyway, it's arbitrary and absurd to suggest that a picture depicting the same thing on a different site would have been OK.

Tell him your problem with racial stereotypes while your at it... perhaps I'm wrong on the subjects.

There are a lot of folks here who are confused.
This is just a website. It isn't a country. It does not have a government.
There are a couple of guys who own the site.
They get to decide what is allowed in the forum.
They get to decide how much forum moderation they want.
No matter how high or low they set the standards, they will never make everyone happy.
A short story for those who weren't here for the original forum.......
When the first forum was started it had no moderators. It only lasted for a few weeks then was shut down. A few of the members just could not behave so they lost it for everyone.
When it finally came back, it had moderators as part of the package.
End of story.....
