I've told you all, you don't know most of the story. FF has HAD chances and reprimands.

You say the point is missed in that certain other questionable pictures haven't led to banning or whatever. Well, it takes formal complaints for me to address the poster of them. Otherwise, me and/or Hammerfel would have handled them.

Some might say it's a condascending tone. I feel it's more politically neutral. Have you ever read a legal document? I keep it fair and to the point.

The law MAY have not been in place because Hammerfel originally wanted a site that was self-policed. If someone had a problem with another member or their pictures, it would be conducted through PMs. If things got out of control, then the mod/admins would be asked to step in or they would step in anyway.

As well, there is a REPORT/FLAG picture option on this site. For a time, I'd get 15 a day, usually by the same guy. They would give no reason, just that he didn't like them. We ask that there is reasoning of why a picture is offensive. I seem to remember a picture of Firefly blowing up Disneyland and that struck a chord with several people. I wasn't exactly around to take care of that one, but my proxy did.

Perhaps some of the community have forgotten HOW I got this position on this site. I came to the position because we were getting a number of spammers and flamers. At the time, only Hammerfel had the banning ability. Because he is busy, he promoted me based on my time here and the support I received from the community at the time.

Nekoman, you asked me to sight reasoning why FF's picture is worse than the others. Hammerfel already stated WHY. I am only going off what people are feeling about the photo in question. The other 3 photos that were brought up were directed to the people who originally posted them.

Part of the problem here is not focusing on the problem, but bringing up the past where no action was taken. Because I got no formal complaints about them AT THAT TIME, no action was taken. NOW that they have been brought to light, action is NOW being taken.

I state again, the situation with FF goes deeper than just 1 picture. It's only that this last act was the final straw.





OH! 1 last thing and I mentioned this before and this is entirely off topic.

The newly created Outrider Memorial area was set up for us to put photos (or whatever) in that section dedicated to him and his wife. I wanted to pm Deanne sometime and give her the link so she can see what people are doing in memory of Craig. It would be easy for her to cruise through instead of going through the pages in PHOTOS to find what would be pertinient.

Also, Hammerfel can't figure out how to get the COLLECTIONS and OUTRIDER sections on the front page like it does with FILES, REVIEWS, DIORAMAS and PHOTOS. He apologizes for that and seeks a web designer to see what the malfunction is.
