That’s Craptacular
We get a little out of hand sometimes. Please DONT push it too far. The purpose of this thread is too have fun.
I do see Dutch's point. And Snoop's picture...well, he's still learning what's acceptable. But IVE is right....the blatant violations...like posting pics with profane words or using censored words in posts should stop...myself included. We don't want them to delete this thread. :)

Respectfully, Sir, that girl wasn't showing any more cheek than the girl on the wakeboard you yourself posted. Essentially there was the same level of skin exposure. So that level is only acceptable in a beach environment?
What picture are you referring to?

I thought that picture pushed the limits but was barely within what is allowed. I saw that image before it was posted here but decided not to post since it was close going too far. I won't second guess tony and cheryl about it since it is their site and their interpretations of the rules.

I disagree. While that girl was not a rocket scientist for her choice of clothing for the season it was not inappropriate imo based strictly on the level of skin closed.
Imo, the deciding factor should be, as it is with print and media censors, is whether the picture is intended to titilate. The girl was not bent over rubbing herself passionately. She was a dipwad dressed in a bikini bottom ordering a happy meal.
A cute butt, sure, but not meant to titilate.

What picture are you referring to?

You went to the beach, teasing us about the gorgeous weather, Rod requesting the bikini shots, and you posted a photo of a girl (blue surf top over a bikini) on a paddle board. Butt cheeks exposed as a bikini will do. The same, if not more skin exposed. As I mentioned above though neither pic was done to titate. I'm not saying yours should be deleted. Im pointing out the discrepancy over the same type of photo.

There are a few reasons to keep the content family friendly but it's true that the biggest concern I have is revenue related.

It costs money to keep this community up and running and if we get blocked from google's program then I'm going to have to come up with a different way to pay the bills.

The way that the forum is currently set up members don't see ads. Google ads are only displayed to people when they're not logged in and those lurkers viewing ads basically pay for the members not to have to look at ads.

These are the recurring monthly costs of keeping this community online:
Dedicated server: $341
Cloudflare: $25
Apps: $69

There are other expenses like buying programs and addons like the shoutbox, max cdn, apple's dev fees, hiring coders etc. In the last year those fees have added up to about $500.

Over the years I've tried other ad networks and different setups and I think our current setup offers a better ad free experience for our members. I'm hoping to keep it this way.

I should know tomorrow if they are going to kick us out, or not. They only gave me 3 days to clean it all up and I'm still not sure I found and deleted all of the stuff like boob pics. Time will tell.

Here is a video google sent me that describes their family friendly content guidelines:


Here ya go again.
