    Yeah, it probably doesn't snow where ShlupQuack lives.

    For the staff; What if YOU were in Peter's situation? You were trying to post a picture and you accidently posted an inappropriate picture and you weren't aware of it until it was too late. I know that's unlikely, but it could happen.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Yes, but a message board has "rules" and "policies." For example: the porn policy.

    It seems to me that that porn policy has NOT been upheld, so it needs some revamping and further discussion due to recent circumstances. A lack of that causes such incidents as this one.


    EDIT: typo which completely changed the meaning of what I said

    If I was in his position then I would probably say "oh crap, that was dumb of me" and go to one of the other 3 million message boards on the internet to get my net fix.

    Say a staff member posted a snow penis by accident. What would happen?

    I know, but would you like to have a warning instead of a ban for that one mistake?

    You've never been warned, and yet you get banned for a simple mistake. You wouldn't like that.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    There's also the rule that says that what's in staff, stays in staff and that rule being broken seems to me is what's causing this particular incident.

    If it really was an accident, I'd advise him to organize the files on his computer a little better. Maybe I'm coldhearted, but I really don't care if it was accidental or not.

    We should be affliliated with those 3 million other message boards while we're encouraging people to visit them.

    Whether it was a mistake or not is irrelevant. The picture itself is all-but irrelevent. He's not going to be unbanned, Proto, so you might as well just stop arguing that point.
    The issue is that someone was banned for something that someone else beforehand was not.

    This staff seems gun-ho to uphold this recent banning, but just offers a "he got lucky" excuse to explain the last non-banning.

    Something doesn't add up.

    I know that if I had porn stored on my computer that it sure wouldn't be right in the same file as my cute cat pictures. It would have it's own special file so that these accidents wouldn't happen.

    *points to recent post*

    THE ACCIDENT THEORY IS IRRELEVENT. That's not the point.

    Post porn, get banned. Seems pretty simple to me. So what, everyone can post one porn picture and get away with a warning? No thanks.

    Uh, no Yams, not everyone. Only some people, apparently. And to me this picture was not porn. But that's besides the point. Other people feel differently, and it's not up for me to decide. But there's something not right that some people can get away with a warning when they post one porn picture.

    It was a mistake on our part, I guess. We're pretty consistent though.
