This is a privately owned site. If you own a site, you can make your own rules.

I'm completely lost by your logic???
So you can't post any bare nips in the showdown thread. But eBay has run the following ad with the picture at the top of our forum for the past 2-3 days. Explain please

Why do sponsors get to post nudity at this site.
Simple question, simple answer.
Sponsor sites don't necessarilly conform to the rules of this site.

Twiggy needs to chill. Have some unseemly pictures get away from you?

NO, I do not need to chill. No I did not have any unseemly pictures get away from me. You got kids? Got a daughter? How would you like her head attached to one of these...would you like that? I'll chill when the last sicko child preditor stops putting this chit on the net and distrubutes them to all their sickos.

I have just as much of a right to comment on this as you do. If you don't like what I write ignore it, otherwise...bring it on.

yea the internet is FULL of ****, fun biker stuff is a bit different in my opinion, wet t-shirts and flashing and all in good adult fun and from what I've seen we are all adults. If they choose to not show it, no big deal. Most advertisers may not want any association with a site that offers nudity.

I have a friend that works in the child preditor unit of our PD here. If I showed him this, he could tell you every point of photoshoping on that.

Plenty of it out there, you don't have to stay here for it.
Ahh Twiggy, I was just spoutin'. Crap, I don't hardly go to the showdown forum, too much stuff to make me laugh and learn in the other forums. I really do understand the issues, if you allow a little, what's a lot? What if a 12 year old opens an account and surfs through? So yeah, best we stick to fingerless gloves, azzless chaps and debates on which side of the motorcyle is the proper side to mount from. I said "mount", Hrrr, Hrrrr, Hrrrr....

Apparently touched a nerve somehow. Two daughters, actually. We weren't talking about ****, though. We were talking about the inconsistancies in the rules here. Of course you couldn't expect HDF to screen every addlink that a sponsor submits.

Now, as to your other concerns, no one was speaking of child pornography. Or remotely suggesting it. Head attached to what? Man, your crusade against child **** is commendable, but misdirected in this thread...

Um, I've been around this block a few times....this was already going in the "****" direction. And gee...do you think if I didn't say a word that this thread would NOT take a dive into the ditch. I don't think so...No, I know it would. I didn't think for one minute it would stay on the subject of inconsistancies in the rules here. That can be discussed without the picture. It had already been suggested that a racy place be open here.

No, no one was speaking of child pornography. I saw a picture with a 12 or 13-year-olds head attached to a nude body....that IS child pornography, so I'm discussing it. Like I said, you don't have to pay one bit of attention to what I write, but I have the right to and it is NOT misdirected in this thread because you say it is.

I think I see what happened. Ebay is an advertiser here but through google/double click. The ads are fed by robots which read the text on this page and try to match ads to the topic. It called targeted advertising. You can see that here all of the time.

If you look at the link to the ebay pic in the OP's first post, you can see the words Harley Davidson in that ebay link. That's how the ebay page got targeted to here, I'd guess.

Accidents are bound to happen. No human decided to do that. I don't believe that anyone, including ebay or the site owners here intended for that to happen.

Could you please use your psychic powers to give me the Powerball numbers for Saturday?
I'm so glad you're here to keep us on the straight and narrow.
There already is a racy area on the HDF. It's called the showdown area. Apparently the site owners saw a need for this section and it seems to be reasonably well maintained.
I have the right to disagree with your shrill, over-reactive responses, as well.
Now please, as I know your hands are quivering to respond, let's leave this as it was..

I think nipples should be allowed. After all, didn't New York pass a law saying women can ride the subway topless if they want to. Now that's one law from one of the coasts that I wish the whole nation would adopt.
