where do these sexual assault people come from?

[Dexter Rutecki]

I would have thought differently long ago when we actually had an unmoderated board, and then when we had a nearly unmoderated board, but these days I don't see why TGR doesn't just ban the threads in question. Would anyone who regularly posts here stop showing up because porn wasn't available? When people who post here and their girlfriends or wives or whatever decide that they want a nude shot posted I think that might be different, but just random commercial porn isn't doing us any good, IMO.

[Dexter Rutecki]

considering how absolutely dense you are on the subject at hand, dex, i'm not surprised you'd think so.

And again, it's not you it's me!

I am the one who is dense--can someone find a definition of irony for this guy?

[Mazderati]

Probably, as with all issues hinging on a spectrum of varying subjective perception, the best approach for the overall health of the community would be to plot the bell curve of responses and place your community standard somewhere on the cautious side of the fat part of the curve.

In this case, you have outliers who would say no porn whatsoever, and outliers who would say all porn of any kind....moving inward to a fat mean sentiment (customary reply: "you're mom's a fat mean sentiment"...lol) of, basically, "porn's fine, but not obviously creepy or possibly illegal porn". IMHO the cautious side of that fat part of the bell curve of subjective perceptions on the matter would be to say: when there's doubt expressed, the thing in doubt gets zapped.

That's reasonable isn't it?

Probably. But the posters driving this conversation may very well find themselves on the aggrieved extremes with an outcome they don't think is just.

The Bell Curve is a Myth. There's my troll.

it's just weird that sharing porn with our online buddies is so important.

I still think the less moderation the better. Part of that is on the community to police itself which needs to make a comeback. #Mr. PoundKey

Yeah, that seems to be a major problem with our society at large....catering policy to small numbers of vocal people with outlying values and agendas.

we definitely need to cater more to the heteroinsecure white male in our society. the stresses! the worries! doesn't anybody care?

Abolish estate tax!

false dichotomy

[mtngirl79]

By the time there is proof that non consensual photos were posted, the damage is done. It cannot be reversed.

Someone was violated.

If you really think your right to oogle other people's intimate photos is more important than someone else's right to not have their privacy violated just say that out loud.

[mtngirl79]

Can you clarify whether you are anti-nudes-without-clear-consent or more generally anti-porn on TGR?

Anti nudes without clear consent.

[Dexter Rutecki]

false dichotomy

You're not going to leave him with many posting options if you keep up with that.

I basically agree, but IMO we are so far from 'unmoderated' at this point that TGR. needs to concede what has become the facts--they (or their appointed agents, so still TGR in essence) are now responsible for what is permitted here. We have moderators actively policing this place, so TGR is de facto approving of any longstanding thread that everyone knows about. I would be in favor of a return to no moderation, but that is unlikely/impossible. Not sure how it makes sense to keep the porn threads.

[Mazderati]

Anti nudes without clear consent.

Then in response to your prior post I would say you don't get to shuffle off the burden of consent to someone else when the criteria for consent are not established. You shouldn't want to hand that off to someone else. You may not be posting the pictures but you're part of the equation and should want to be part of the solution.

[mtngirl79]

Consent means that a person says they are ok with whatever you are doing.

Yes, you can take these pictures of me, and yes, you can post these pictures on the internet.

That is consent.

Since unless the pictures person posts here, it's likely they won't see the pictures, at least not right away, how can they police it themselves?

The internet is a big place. Posters need to be responsible for their content.

The notion that TGR is actively moderated is a bit humorous.

Humor me: first define what is "actively" versus rarely in your eyes, then provide me enough examples within whatever time period your definition includes to prove your point. And nuking spam bots doesn't count as active moderation.

That's what consent means, the stickier issue is how to demonstrate consent.

We're right back to where we started. A poster can lie and say the subject consented when they didn't. A poster can lie and say the subject didn't consent when they did. There is no easy solution.

[PNWbrit]

A poster can lie and say the subject consented

Can?

I would say it's a damn near certainty they lied.

Or the "consent" was likely contrived.

there's no easy solution only if you can't live without porn on this website. so with the infinite porn available online, you have to have it here, too.

i get it. just admit it. quit trying to pretend there is anything involved other than your adamant desire to have porn on tgr.

I just want the shaming and old-fashioned, poster-driven dressing-down of yesteryear. Part of that is on the user base though and Dex is probably right in that the forum has moved on.

If you can't prove consent, you can't post the pictures.

Solve you consent problem and post your pictures.

Unless you think your right to viewing and posting nude pictures supersedes people's rights to not have nude pictures of them posted without their consent...

If that's the case, just say that out loud.

[2FUNKY]

So all the poster of these pics needs to do is just say, " consent to post", and you'll go along with that?
Riiiiiiiight...
