I would guess because of the picture content on that website?

Oh brother. . .

You can see racier stuff on a highway billboard for crying out loud!!

I'm all for the mods doing their thing trying to keep things on topic and basically calm arouind here, but please, that's a bit puritanical don't you think? It's not like the pic was posted on this server. And you had to LOOK FOR IT to even find it.

It's like the old joke about the old woman complaining to the police that her neighbor likes to stand in front of his window naked. The cop says "I don't see anything maam" to which she replies "Well if you stand up on this chair and move that branch out of the way you can."

Dave sent me a message and he had a valid point, there are some younger members who read our threads.

Yea thats true but lets let them hear and see these things from them and not us. We get enough heat from the public.

I agree and I didn't see the picture in question but when they signup up they must agree that RCU isn't responsible for the content posted on the site.

The pic was of an average looking woman with her back mostly to the camera, retrieving a float plane. One of her tingly parts was partially visible. You had to link to another site, scan a huge page of thumbnails, and select the one that you wanted to see enlarged.

I guess I agree in principal with the call, grudgingly, but think that deleting the whole thread was a bit heavy handed. There was some good info there.

Sometimes these calls are tough to make. And we Mods always discuss them before making them. Sorry, but "them's the rules".

PS She wasn't even worth looking at.

We made a decision last year that we'd not allow external links that feature nudity or sexual content. We try very hard to be consistent in how we implement our policies. If you feel this is unfair or heavy handed, I'd encourage you to discuss it in our Problems and Questions About Using RCU forum. The Clubhouse isn't the appropriate place.

That said, the question has been asked and answered so I'm closing this thread.
