Banning the showing photos of underage children, I get that. Even then you have problem because do you follow Kansas rules (age 16) or California rules (age 18) In all of the EU, the age of consent is 16. My main complaint is that you seem to follow the wishes of whoever complains about whatever pic is shown. In other words, this is a PORN forum, yet you apply Sunday school rules, based upon complaints of those who can't stand porn, and the Seven Words that can't be spoken. Where in the rules does it say that on this here porno forum we will adhere to the sensitivities of the most sanctimonious, with 19th century Victorian morals? I guess you're afraid of being sued. That's fair. But 1. exactly how often have you been sued? Not threatened via Cease and Desist letters, because every vindictive older woman whose husband left her for a younger model can whip one of those up in 15 seconds. But an actual suiing? 2. Have you ever thought about calling their bluff? Sorry, mate, but it seems ridiculous to run a porno forum with Sunday school rules and to cower in fear for every complaint. Listen I DO get that every forum is not a democracy, and that it's run like a dictatorship, but this is just my humble opinion, please don't delete this! I suppose should add that I totally respect you and your rules, and that talking back to the admins is sacrilege.

Talking to, or back to admins is not sacrilege, though rehashing something that has been discussed, at length many, many times is punishable by death.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with us being sued, it has everything with us doing what is necessary to protect this forum, ourselves and our members from being prosecuted for distributing child pornography.

It is precisely because we are a hard core porn forum, first and foremost that we have to be very rigid on this point, it was decided by the mods several years back to have an age rule, and that age was 18, in the UK 18 is the legal age to do most stuff kids look forward (or not) to, drinking, gambling, getting married without parental consent, getting a tattoo, posing in porn magazines, movies etc.

Where would you draw the line?, seeing an actress in sexy attire such as a bikini or skimpy shorts and top, 17, 16, 15, 14?????

Again I say, this is the rule, we expect all members to adhere to it, if you like seeing under 18's then this is not the forum for you.
