Family Site? What has happened?
Wednesday, December 17, 2003 by Phoon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I normally try to maintain a fairly even, supportive attitude here and try not to stir the fires too much, but when it comes to something like this, it is time to stand up and say something.
https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&SkinID=14200
Supposedly, this is a Family oriented site. Am I mistaken in that?
I feel that material such as this has no business at all on WC, nor do I understand how this made it passed moderation.
Now, I'm certainly no saint and my objection to this type of material here does not reflect any negativity at all on the person which submitted this, nor does it reflect on my own personal taste in art. I do however feel that this type of material demonstrates a very negative image on the community we have here and should not be allowed.
So break out your flame throwers upon me if you must, I am prepared.

I already asked if it was a render... if so, it was great, even tought it would be amazing if he even redered the dust on the black plate.
If it even was just the pack of cigarettes I wouldn't bother but...

ack! sorry, just kidding....
I'll have to abstain on comment of the validity for the acceptance of this submission because, frankly it ain't my job so I don't have to go there
I guess I will not do any Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers or High Times Walls, Skins or Themes to submit...

WOM won't debate whether wall should or shouldn't be here.
I personelly was disturbed to see it on this site but don't see any reason why it shouldn't be. Hows that from a smoker?

The point of the matter is, if it were JUST a pack of cigarettes it would be different.
While smoking is unhealthy ( and I smoke like a chimney )it is not illegal.
This wall depicts a marijuana cigarette in the pack and has a marijuana leaf off to the lower right.
While highly ( no pun intended ) groovy ( age showing ) and quite cute, it does not reflect the "family site" image that most all of us skinners / artist have tried to maintain.
The line needs to be somewhat maintained, or the continued integrity of the site is comprimised.

i agree. this has always been a family site. free of adult content and substance abuse images. if the admins start to allow such images of adult material or illegal substances. it will quickly degrade the site.
once the poverbial pandoras box is opened and any thing questionable is allowed in . it will start the *well this was let in why not mine?*** if u give an inch peeps will want the mile ...
wether or not many use the substance . it is still a drug and i wouldnt want my kids puttin it on their desk tops ..i believe in drug awareness not promotion..
this is just a lil rant from a concerned parent .

I'm surprised this one was approved. I don't think it belongs on the site.

I just want to add, a sincere thank you to most all of you up to this point.
I honestly expected to receive a thorough bashing for expressing this view here. It's nice to know that on this one at least, a true sense of "community" is being demonstrated thus far.

If I remeber correctly there are other marijuana related objects here on wincustomize. One is a dragon smoking that links to a marijuana legalization site (I think) and another is a set of icons for objectdock in which some marijuana leaves are included.
