I've just trawled through 3 Pages of this garbage and I still don't know what the **** the one tip is!!
Sorry, realised I missed this gem from earlier:
The kylie (recent) thread wasn't about her music at all.
I wasn't aware she was known for her music.
@tazzymtb, I need to sell some flat bars.
I want something that says "classy, but practical". Can you work with the brief?

easy, I'll mount them to my frontage using some anodised purple bolts in the existing holes(for the retro bike market) and pose firmly grasping the bar, whilst wearing a rapha and nice walz works cap. May convince people that it'll only mount on a retro 150mm stem though 😆

"talented and gorgeous to boot"
Surely this could include blokes? - but i'd guess the on STW less guys would be condsidered gorgeous...
I think I'd have greater issues with peoples definition of talented tbh.
I still can't see any bikini clad women?!
Sorry, realised I missed this gem from earlier:"The kylie (recent) thread wasn't about her music at all."
That was purely to point out to Emsz that the thread wasnt pretending to be anything other than a thread full of nice pictures.
Nobody was trying to pretend to like her music (as it was suggested)
Everybody was being perfectly open and honest, just looking at some nice pictures.
No music was mentioned.
As Emsz said.....
.... Perv by all means, but at least be honest about it.
See - this is where it becomes difficult.
I got banned the other evening on that thread for posting the picture of Monica Bellucci.
No nudity, no boobs, wearing a full length dress - so in no way a "pervy" or even slightly "risque" and certainly SFW, yet post removed during me doing an edit to include Pat Benetar so I got the ban extended as they decided I posted it twice!
For me it's quite simple - overtly racist, porn, etc - fine delete it but really... there was more "NSFW" on the adverts here than that thread and the mods are IMHO heavy handed on this forum with regards to what "they" feel is against their rules.
This accounts for the message I got about posting up some publicity photos for Alison Hannigan, Willow in [i]Buffy, The Vampire Slayer[/i]. I [i]assume[/i] someone got all bent out of shape because one was her in slightly saucy high school girl clothing, a reference to her character, which she was playing when in her twenties, and another in a bikini top. None were NSFW, all had been used loads of times, including on here, by me, in the past. I sadly missed the later part of the female singer thread, I could have posted up a whole bunch, taken by me, of attractive singers on stage, but I guess, because I'm male, and happen to find some singers particularly attractive, some might take offence at what just happens to be a happy coincidence. I don't have to be able to see Laura Marling, Julie Fowlis, Emiliana Torini, The Staves, or Katzenjammer, among many, to enjoy what they do, but it's nice in a live environment to watch attractive people performing music that one enjoys.
Is that so offensive to some people?
For me it's quite simple - overtly [s]racist[/s], porn, etc - fine delete it
racist? Make them a mod
If anyone's interested, I'm now getting adverts for Bon Prix knitted jumper dresses and combat-ready light sabers. Quite scary how accurate the targeted advertising can be!
I reckon some regular bighitter type forumites should get their belly out and write "cotic Soul" or sommat on their bellies in lipstick and upload a photo to the ad bits. that'd be good.
EDIT: I didn't know you could get combat ready lightsabres! where do I sign up?

I think it's quite clear that their values only extend as far as their wallet. Paid for adverts depicting racy images of overtly sexualised attractive women are all ok, but dare a forumite post so much as a picture of a woman in a long dress....
Of course, they have limited control on what they show on their website though, so that makes these double standards perfectly ok. Sex sells.
Perhaps if they were serious about this then the "report post" button could also appear under each advert.
I have no useful contribution to make
You've just killed it fourbanger - edit it quick and we may still have some life left in this thread
I don't agree with Emz, but you are an idiot.
Couldn't agree more.
I don't agree with emsz either.
But fourbanger, you are a tool.
C'mon fourbanger, that was out of order - edit it or i guess you are now passed out drunk face first on the floor.
You disagree, but has anyone reported it yet?
You disagree, but has anyone reported it yet?
Yes, for the first time
I may disagree wi him but i've never reported a thread yet nor will i ever, i'm a big boy and can get offended like everyone but i don't throw my toys out the pram in the huff and expect others to appease my sensibilities, unlike many on here. It may be out of order but that's no reason to report it, we're not at school now.
Agree with the chocolatier.
"Is that so offensive to some people?"
You sound pretty offended by it.
People who don't like perv threads: humorless pc douchebags who should stop whining and realize the world doesn't revolve around them. They should htfu if they want to read about yoghurt-knitting.
People who don't like their perv threads being binned: Voltairean martyrs whose multiple whines about the mods' decisions about what's good for the mods should be respected. They should not htfu and go elsewhere for perving.
Congratulations to konabunny for the most cryptic post of the year so far
Think what you like but I'm making a serious point. We're as anonymous as we choose to be here. The reality is the persona we display on here isn't necessarily who we really are. I can be anyone I want to be and get offended about anything.
The real world isn't moderated. If someone offends you on the street, tough shit. Stop being so sensitive and get over it.
No offense meant to emz, just using you as an example. Soz.
Nealglover, my hero!

Abso-chuffin'-lutely!
I have never reported a thread, although there have been times, using my phone, where I've accidentally hit the report button, but I've always cancelled. It would have to be something really, [i]really[/i] offensive, but I'm sure others would get there before me anyway.
I'm making a serious point
If you wanted to make a serious point, why didnt you make it the first time ?
What you typed in your first post made you sound like a tool.
That's your fault, not mine 🙄

Perhaps, but women are seen more in our society as objects, not people.
They're really not.
. Well, it was outwardly sexy, making reference to men not being able to stand up in the cinema due to having an erection. That wouldn't have worked if it was David Beckham in stockings and suspenders, would it. But it was advert selling sex, not packets of crisps.Didn't say it was. I said the agent provocateur advert of her riding the bucking bronco more or less is.
re the talented and gorgeous thread.
I love music, and music threads on here, you can normally find stuff you haven't listened too before, and that's v cool. That thread wasn't about music (otherwise there would have been links) it was about How The Women Looked.
Now, I've said this before in this thread, and I'll say it again, I don't mind nakedness, we are beautiful.I don't care about the kylie thread (she doesn't do it for me, but whatever) beacuse I know what it is, and I can avoid it.
Read the Nicole Cooke rant, she says it better than me.

Why did you apologise, then?
The real world isn't moderated.
Yes it is.
Yes it is.
To a point, and one that's a lot more lenient (and often more consistent) than on here
I would like to see the thread in question (the talented music/arse one) and decide for myself if it offends me. Actually, i'm offended that i wasn't given the opportunity to make that call. Who do i complain to?

Looks like Emzs went well out of her way to be offended by that. In fact, that's quite a dedication to being offended by inoffensive things
I do LOLz at people who accuse others of being offended by proxy when being informed they're being cocks.
Good job you're such a paragon of virtue then, eh?
You seem bothered zokes. So I won't take your comment personally. I'm sure you'll take it back when you're not so fighty. (Unless you [i]weren't[/i] being sarcastic, in which case, of course, no worries.)
Sorry - missed the emoticon:
🙄
You can take it personally now
Ah bless. Don't worry, a_a and Piggie might be up soon and you can have a fight with them. Aren't there any forums in Oz where you could work this kind of stuff out during the day? Or are they better at not being professionally offended down there?
Had a good day cycling actually, and watched the tour down under yesterday. Things going well down here, thanks for asking 🙂
I'm glad you're out there. Enjoying yourself. Just such a pity you can only get on here at pretty unsocial hours. 😛
