What a joke this site is becoming!

[dom]

I am stunned.
Just logged on and had a message from Samlad.

Apparently my avatar caused some female on here offence - it was a pic of a pussy (not out of place on an escort website, methinks!) and so HE REMOVED IT!!

And then 'ASKED' me to find an alternative!

He must be fucking joking me?!

It states on his profile he is a member for how long? - 2 months? - and he is telling ME what to do?!

HE removes MY avatar yet HE is a member of groups who's avatar include Group Cum Shots and Oral Sex pictures?!!

Get a fucking life!

And kindly return my avatar Samlad - we're all adults here you know!

dom

Ps - WHO made the complaint?? Hadn't she the 'balls' to approach me DIRECTLY??!!

Ah now, what is the story?

That is a bit off. does anyone agree with me?

Has nobody noticed that my prediction of lots of members leaving has been coming true? I don't want this to happen. It will though if common sense does not prevail......

I don't know what else to say............

You see dom,its not a democracy.

Slight over-reaction I think. Ok, I understand you are not happy, but how about saying that you disagree with Sam's decision, to him, rather than creating an angry public thread about it? Things don't need to get ugly over something like this, do they? Sam obviously felt it was appropriate to remove your avatar following a complaint about it. I can't comment on his position as he is not here with me to respond etc, but I think he's a reasonable man, and you can discuss this with him like adults.

I did both Pat...
In fact, I did treble.
I mailed you, I mailed Samlad AND I started this thread - just to highlight the kind of bullshit that your moderators perform.

Yes you sent PMs minutes before starting this thread late at night. It's not like you sent PMs and gave anyone a chance to reply. And you are still calling this "bullshit" and BTW Samlad is a Community Manager here not a moderator. Here I am going to find something for you... Wait a minute....

Pat,

why is it a slight over reaction? maybe it isn't?

you are right, Samlad isn't here, and in fairness, i haven't seen the avatar, but I do not like to think that there is heavy handed moderation on good posters. If I am wrong, and it was really bad, then fair enough... but I suppose I would like to see it cos he doesn't seem to be a bad minded person........

There has been lots of yucky and personal stuff posted recently and some great posters have left as a result.

I wonder if we might all think a little before acting?

I don't know what the avatar was. I assume it wasn't anything grossly offensive to all that had to be immediately removed. But it seems someone found it offensive enough to complain. We all have different perceptions of what is sexy and funny and nice and what is gross, over-the-top, degrading etc. I sometimes remove things, not because I find them offensive, but because somebody else clearly has and I feel it is the best thing to do in the circumstances. My main point is though, there is no need to go mental over this and be rude and disrespectful to Samlad. He sent you a polite PM and was clearly not acting will ill intentions, so how about have an adult chat to him about the issue instead of this rage?

I have seen the avatar and I must admit I did not find it offensive however some one has and Sam made a decision.
As Pat said Sam isnt an unreasonable guy and would have gladly took any advice or comments you had of the situation.
In my opinion starting this thread is just a method of shit stirring to get teh sympathy vote.
Talk to Sam and see if a compromise can be reached
