Slut in the screenshots... -Sigh-
Saturday, May 24, 2003 by EventHorizon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I hate to do this, but....
I have noticed lately, that there have been a lot of unsavory additions to the screenshots library. I emailed Jafo about this and he deleted a number of them, but of course, they still keep comin' in. B1uesummers in particular with some others coming SS Goku etc. I am wondering if maybe screenshots arent obliged to go through moderation...That could be a prob.
To see what im talkin about go to... https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=13&SkinID=1973 Ok fine, thats just one, but ive been watchin the screenshots for a while and I dont like what I see...One IS worth removing so that we dont have little kids paying visits to the screenshots and saying, "Mommy, mommy, look at that!..."
Now some of you may not agree with me...(People's moral standards being different and all)...but I dont think its right for a "family site" to be displaying this kind of crap. Basically what Im asking is, could someone please remove the ones you see fit and to make sure these people dont do it again.

I find it offensive that anyone would post a thread with the word "slut" in it.

I can't help it if the person who made the wall couldn't spell. I don't think it hinders anything because its not like I was creating a poem and every part meant something. Here's my desktop, like it? Hate it? Do you have an opinion or have you found a skin that could make it look better?
That's all I'm looking for when uploading a screenshot.
I "realize" people can make errors and not see them at times.

Not picking on any body in particular but I think its funny that people keep posting about how they are offended by the title of the thread and by doing so keep elevating it to the top of the message board

Actually, you can 'help it'....if it's such a great wall apart from a few problems, as you mentioned...why not try your hand at modding the wall..correcting errors and removing the text line that you don't like....doing that would at least show creativity....whereas some people submit 3 or 4 screenshots every single day for heaven-knows what motivation, except perhaps 'look how quickly I can change my undies'...

I agree with alot of folks here I think that the Title of this thread is what needs editing. The Anime picture that started all of this row, I personally think that there is nothing wrong with it or Bluesummers screen shot that he has under his profile. I was fully expecting to see Nudity or Brittany or at least something that broke the rules around our little house. I have to admit wondering why anyone would change his desktop as much as Bluesummers or SS Goku seem to, but hey that is there right. I fully agree that Hentei should never be allowed, but I have seen more suggestive pictures on Billboards driving down the road, than in that particular screenshot. Is it a picture I would have on my desktop, probably not, even though I have been a fan of Anime for 30 years (Captain Harlock) and Animation in general be it Disney, Pixar, or Bugs. But just today I did put an Anime inspired wall on my Desktop "nijikon fetchi" by deaddreamer since I think that it goes so well with Syncronus. But now I'm rambling, in the end, if you don't like it, you don't have to look.

I want to have the option of changing my desktop at any given moment to something that fits my mood and that is why I have so many different ones.

Bluesummers, I see nothing wrong with all your other submitions, but the psycho in over the line. The guidelines explicitly say:

Oh, may I add that I rejected it. Other moderators had the same opinion.

Just stating how I feel. I'd vote this thread Deleted but I'm one small voice...it takes many small voices to make a big enough one to shout into the admins' ears.
He-he! Iffin' ain't that the perfect example of the "POT calling the kettle back..."
Angel_Wings gives her one vote for this thread to be extinguished with loving care.
Angel_Wings wonders how many kids asked after reading this thread, "Mommy what is a slut?"
And what is the male version of that anyway?

Thanks, Patric....I'd left it there intentionally so other moderators could cast an opinion....it had the look of a 'splatter movie'....[more so than a 'snuff' one]...something Sam Peckinpah [sp] would be proud of...

Elvira gets away with worse on television.Ifound the little cartoon tears more disturbing than the not quite naked.Nudity on its own should never be offensive.This picture wasnt even R rated.But hey,its not my website.I dont have to try and please everyone the way they do.

'pyscopaths' is really great spelling...says a lot for the educational standard of the alleged 'artist' of the wall...and considering the importance and prominence of the text it's pretty banal...
It'll stay in moderation until there is a 'popular' opinion of its motivation, worth and relevance.
You do realise we at times get submissions that are very definitely in poor taste, be you Mother Superior or Marilyn Manson and are rejected outright.
Others just push the limits and may be 'borderline'.
The wall depicting some alien bug-like creature messily copulating with a naked woman on a beach was one of the 'rejects', as was the homage to 9/ll a collage of photos including the scene of people falling to their deaths. I guess Joe Public is blithely unaware of the crud that gets submitted in the name of God-knows-what, but it is the prime reason that moderation of submissions even exists...
