Michael (whose post is towards the end of this discussion): Sorry to hear that.(posted 8801 days ago)As for the moderation: I ALMOST deleted this when I saw it, but it is NOT an "attempt at pornography", even if, in some peoples TASTE, it is 'artless', and even if some of the responses to it are more emotional than rational.
Peter tried to qualify what he was doing from an artistic PoV, and I believe forums are for learning; i.e., Peter was trying to be 'artistic' with this photo, whether or not he succeeded in others' eyes. He was also responding, in part, to a completely valid previous post.
And the negativity this post inspired was a better guarantee that this site does NOT get pornography than a simple moderation rule would bring.
Have a nice day :-)
