My primary objection still stands. Since profanity isn't tolerated in thread titles, what made you think that a hardcore porn site address would be okay?
Clearly, it isn't.
See above.
When you mention the name of the website in the thread title, the rest of your argument goes out the window.
Then maybe you should learn from the thread titles that get edited and not link to the porn site in the first place.
Secondly, I can't speak for John's decision to lock the thread.
But I agree with him that it was over the line, based on content alone.
We are not a hardcore porn fansite.
This isnt honda-acura-DVDA.net
As I said at the outset, the prior rulings on NWS content should have been enough to tell you that you were getting close to the edge.
There has been no prior thread that had a porn website in the title... so how is anyone supposed to know? A better solution instead of closing it would have been editing it...
And please... the "prior rulings" on NWS is total BS. Its handled on case by case basis and it changes depending on the name of the poster and their join date. You can't argue that. The fact is that there is a bias and this could have been handled totally different.
What is the problem with linking a website that has suggestive material? How is that any different then putting spoilers around a picture of a womans breasts or having a spoiler to the link?
I'd HONESTLY like to know who was offended by the words Bang and Boat. By displaying the name of the site AND putting up the NWS, Spoiler and all the other shit I did... ANYONE who had any interest in looking at it knew EXACTLY what they were going to be getting into.
What is the problem with having the name out there? Again... it
wasn't linked. Anyone who wanted to see had to go through steps at their own will.
