If this place becomes a theme day of NSFW posts. You'll likely have some very unhappy commenters, and at least one moderator who doesn't appreciate it as well (hint: G***c**2*5).

Thanks.

Agreed. I'm on here during work.

Don't give me a reason to be productive.

I fail to see the problem if they are properly tagged? And I doubt it'd get out of hand, many people simply can't post or look at nsfw at work...

Also, who are we to let El Uly down?

Can this moderator grant me write access? I promise I won't make any nSFW threads.

Second, I don't mind one here and there but I don't want Oppo overrun with them.

It's probably for the best though buddy. One thread is rad. Work is crazy busy today and that would help by just refreshing one tab :]

It's not that we don't want them posted.

It's just that even with proper warnings, pages and pages full of NSFW don't exactly look good to people's superiors, regardless of whether people can/should view them at work.

Just like the oppo dance party. ONE THREAD IS ENOUGH. El Uly will know where to look.

Wait ... I think I cracked the code. The moderator you talking about about. Is that you?

If this were occurring primarily after "standard" working hours (from a US centric point of view), I would have greatly less concern. However, it likely won't, based on your earlier post, and while I won't say that I don't enjoy these posts when I am able, I have seen what happens when a theme runs rampant that people are passionate about.

I'm just envisioning a worst case scenario. And trying to at least contain it somewhat. A few posts are one thing, but if I have three+ pages of Oppo that I can't open... well...

Not trying to take anything away from you. Just scared that we may temporarily give tumblr a run for their money. =)

I think we have the right "talent" here for it.

Hmm, I suppose one thread isn't so bad, I'd probably favorite it permanently.

Haha fair enough, I suppose a bachelor party would be good if contained to one thread anyway.

Sure. Welcome aboard! See the Owners Manual Tag page for general guidelines just in case you haven't seen them before.

I have no problem with people posting NSFW photo dumps, I just don't see the need for them and rarely click on them. There are plenty of sites with naked ladies, why post them here on the daily?

Using an automotive enthusiast forum as a place to show off your masturbation prowess is just plain idiotic, whether it is tagged NSFW or not. I really doubt that most of us are here to see "D00DZ LETZ ALL SHARE BONERZ NOW HURR DURRR LOOKIT THIS ONE THING IT HAS GENITALS AND THIS OTHER THING HAS THEM TOOO."

I understand that the "editorial" policy is to allow it if it's tagged, but can we at least call a spade a spade and say that these jackoff commanders are just being fucking juvenile? I mean, if we can talk trash about people who drive FWD automatics, certainly we can point out the manifest ridiculousness of throwing a bunch of softcore porn on a nominally unrelated forum just for the attention?

Can we acknowledge that it affects the atmosphere—the "property values," in some sense—of this site and realize that with fully one third of internet traffic being porn that there are other better places to celebrate your predilection for pretend sex ?

Actually, unless they are car themed, I think even $kay might end up spending an afternoon over on Hooniverse if that were the case. =P

Make that two moderators.

I tend not to come in and do much in Oppo during the day for obvious reasons, but if need be, I'll start coming in here during evenings and clean out what needs to be cleaned out.

Thanks! I can't wait to share the fun cars I've seen lately. Just a little taste. A screen grab from a video I have of this beautiful car taking off (and being slightly reckless)

I've never liked the overuse of theme days anyways.

It ruins the fun of a creative theme day when one should come by. If all the 14 year olds want to whack off to porn, you've got reddit. Or you can make one gigantic thread and reshare it in the evening, thats okay.

But flooding Oppo is asking for a smacking. Not from Gamecat though. He is too old and he forgot his glasses this morning, he can't see shit.


:D
