Why does TGR value porn more than skiers and skiing?

[Banh Mi]

unfortunately, "ignore user" and "report post" are underutilized here in strong favor of "whine publicly"

Doesnt the timeline still get wadded up with all their threads, even if you have someone on ignore?

I am starting to lean favor towards turning this into a strictly ski related forum. No polyass, no padded room anymore. I wouldnt complain.

Some people with shared computers or work equipment probably like seeing porn through TGR so they don't have to clear their browser history like they would going directly to a porn site.

It does, that's also something that we are hoping to get addressed though.

Improving the ignore function would be a good idea while someone is paying attention around here.

Particularly the ability to block entire threads and to block threads started by a particular user.

And if the mods are tired then publicly appeal for and canvass the membership for some fresh blood.

Oh well. Over the years, I have seen the arc of a post or it's poster follow a trend.
Post dumb shit.
JONG!
Original poster fixes error and joins, or ridicule follows, and they figure out, (it may take yeeeeeears), that they don't belong and stop posting.
They keep posting and are ignored. Again, it may take a loooong time.

Too bad the pron can't follow this path and be self-moderated.

Chrome incognito mode?

yeah I think this would solve a lot, and that's also to be discussed (not being a vbulletin guy by trade I have no sense of how hard ie expensive that would be to implement)

and the mods don't have any of this authority - you have to be on the payroll to make code changes, unfortunately all mods can do is edit/delete stuff, move threads, things like that.

I stand firmly behind my opinion. Get rid of poly ass and the padded room

I think the porn is silly but maybe, just maybe, If you don't like it, don't click on it. The padded room is full of nonsense and dick swinging, if you don't like it don't open it.

I do agree, there needs to be more ski and less shit.
Soon Ullr will make it so.

This...

Well exactly, bobby. I want this style to continue, but I guess we can't, as the process takes a little longer than what is demanded or expected?

Gosh just ignore her.

Oh and by the way, I am not being the old stick-in-the-mud here. I embrace change. But hopefully that change is good, (like outing the Weinstein's of the world, etc.). The TGR method works well.

and thanks for the reminder.

Is this about the Ullr thread and consent, or about the Well Endowed and the Readheads in the Special Collection?

Either way, wtf... isnt this the place where new members are asked for pics of gf/wife/sister on a regular basis?

More and more like Epic every day. AZ Greg must be loving this...

If you dont like it, dont look at it. Stick to ski/snowboard. How is that not the easy answer?

If you are coming here to jerk off, that seems pointless, as there are obviously better options a google search away.. but IMO there's nothing wrong with some lighthearted male bonding / appreciation of the beauty of the female form.

[Kinnikinnick]

We came here because its edgy and cool, now lets make it lame.

[mall walker]

idk what THIS thread is about you'd have to ask prince spindrift, the issue about pics with/without consent that mtngirl raised is a legitimate question (potentially legal question as well) and is something TGR-the-company (iow not mods) will have to decide how to handle.

exactly. nobody (I hope) is actually jerking it to any picture posted here. It's confined primarily to one thread (with the occasional bump of the Ullr thread or an occasional Friday thread) and even that thread has lots of non-porn. It's really not that big of a deal, except the Ullr thread is to one person, and she even said she's ok with "regular" porn because she trusts those sites to screen for consent (yes, really, she said that, and apparently is unaware that "amateur" porn is a huge thing).

FFS, this.

Dex complains that it's the moderation that makes this place suck, but it's not. It's some of the people. Thankfully not all of them. Or even most of them.

While we're at it, we should close down the Gear Swap. There is more than a real possibility that STOLEN goods are being sold in there. Without a way to CONFIRM legal ownership of the goods being sold you COULD be enabling criminal behavior. What kind of place is TGR - do they care AT ALL about the victims of property crime?

Unless you can confirm the rightful ownership of every item being sold in there, nothing should be allowed to be sold!!! Otherwise you are possibly a party to a CRIME!!

OP tl;dr - the body of the post - mostly because through your other posts here I don't respect you, nor will i give you the time.

Polyass and "pron" can take a hike for all I care, because that isn't why I am here, however the bigger issue for me is...

You chose to come here, you choose to click on a link (that says NSFW) in a part of the forum that isn't ski/bike/boat/surf/fish related, what the fuck did you expect? Take responsibility for your own fucking actions or simply GTFO.

The point of this thread was for spindrift to signal his virtue. Nothing more, nothing less. He wants all of us to know that he's better than the rest of us because he started this thread. He's upping his internet cred one thread at a time.

If we are getting into the business of crime prevention, let’s really be effective and cover all the bases.

to be clear: I'm not lobbying for removing images, my first post ITT sums up my thoughts on how a community should operate (with small exceptions for things that are plainly bad for the guy paying for the server uptime, if you don't like it, don't look at it) but there's no need to get carried away either.

Some of the funniest threads I've ever read have been here on TGR. Definately, some funny maggot bastards. Hope they stick around. Saying stuff here you could never blurt out in an office environment. Reminds me of the crazy fucks from our old ski house. Hard charging party hounds that get first chairs on a pow day. Making me laugh. All DAY LONG

this place lost edgy and cool years ago. it's middle aged dudes trying to act edgy and cool, by definition lame. Stop trying.

[spindrift]

There's no justification for polyass either, but you all clamor for that. We could make another hidden porn sub, but who would post there? Would we just move nsfw threads there? ANY moderation action gets endlessly bitched and moaned about, people crying bloody murder and first amendment and all that garbage.

My very personal opinion is that you can either have a strictly-skiing-related-forum, or a general forum. The former requires a level of moderation that nobody (including any of the mods) wants. The latter means that you remove basically illegal content or extraordinarily obnoxious things (spammers, horrific trolls), and otherwise put up with a lot of shit, hoping your community stays small enough to self-police. Welcome to the internet, old people, it has been this way since it started. That's not a justification, but it is a reality. People suck, c'est la vie.

For the record my irrelevant personal opinion on the subject at hand is that mtngirl is dead on correct, and is getting a lot of blowback due to being a woman and specifically being mtngirl (boy who cried wolf sort of thing). If you can't find porn without TGR you're too stupid to be allowed to drive a car, and taking/posting compromising pics even when consent is vague and not outright denied is pathetic.

Edit: all of that said, the people with a financial stake in the business will make a decision on this matter in a few days, so if OP can pause the virtuous diatribe until then, he might get a resolution. The tone of "how on earth can you APPROVE of <thing someone posted>" betrays the incredibly naive assumption that some ostensibly-in-charge human is actually reading 100% of the content on the forums. IF YOU DON'T REPORT THINGS, THE ODDS ARE PRETTY GOOD THAT NOBODY SEES THEM. Keep that in mind before you climb up on your horse.

I'll ignore your other post and go with your suggestion/request here - and wait for my questions to be answered. That said - I know for a fact a number of folks have hit the "report" button for both sexual and outright racist stuff over the years. They've gotten nothing but silence or blowback for it. So I'm pretty comfortable on my horse at the moment. The time has come for TGR to decide what matters most & what it is about. Waiting...
