It's a link. If you don't like it, don't click on it. The image is not on the forum, it is on photobucket and therefore nothing to do with LL TOS.


It was not a link when I posted it; it was on the forum, so if you clicked on this thread, it came right up on your screen without giving you the chance to not click on it. If it was just a link, then I wouldn't have said anything. I know better than to click on NSFW links in place where I'd rather not have NSFW pictures displayed.

It doesn't matter what the rule in the UK is about what is and is not porn. Doesn't matter what the rule in the US is either, for that matter. What matters is what the rule in the forums are, and a picture like that is enough to violate the intent of the rule, if not its actual terms.

Thank you for making the change.

Presumably you are using Strife's greasemonkey script for BBcode emulation, which is third party software (and pretty much the only way you would be able to see the image instead of a link).

These fora, in their natural state as prescribed by LL, will display links not images.

The rules in these fora make no mention of posting of links that I can see.
It is not my responsability to make allowances for what third party software you may or may not be using.

TL: DR summary; I posted a link, you have an add-on to your browser that removes your ability to decide whether to display the image - thus, your problem.

Not sure what that would prove, but okay. After that, we can have a fist fight.

I do have Grease Monkey and I'm just as glad no little grandkids were in the room when your pic came up...

I don't have any 3rd party add-ons. I flipped an option on to display images in my profile. On the first pass there was an image, now there's a link. (which should prolly have a "NSFW" near it).

And for illustrative purposes, while in ethereal form posting on the forum,

If, after 2 35 minute motos, you can still make a fist I won't even put up a fight!

Mostly because I would be too tired but still........

Just because I have bewbies doesn't mean that I am weak.

How about we just cut straight to the fist fight. It would be a lot quicker.

Nope.

Not my responsibility to follow US laws voluntarily. It's LL's responsibility to make me.

I think that's the point. In this case they can easily make you by taking down the whole thread.

Just curious, does that mean that someone who doesn't have the Greasemonkey add-on who wishes to post a link, will usually use img instead of url?

STFU Conan. It was a tacky, unsuitable pic, and you know it. If you're sick of this thread, then FFS, leave. No one's forcing you to read it.

True, but it wouldn't stop me doing it again. If you want to turn this into a matter of principles, I can go and put those [IMG]tags back if you'd like. Just say the word.

I removed them as a gesture of courtesy, but if people are going to say "Oh noes! U carnt doo dat!" and try and score debating points, then I'm happy to retract the gesture.


Where will your thread be then?

I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but I'd bet a $L the TOS says it's governed by the laws of California, which you agreed to.

But I like riding more than fighting.

Besides fighting never has proved anything and I only wind up breaking a nail.

Truce???

I've nothing against the thread. The thread has done me no harm and I bare it no malice or ill will.

But there are a strangely high percentage of people who are not content with pointing out a person's mistake and having them correct it, and feel the need to score points after the fact as well. Then again; this is the internet.
