I'll also ask the moderators to remove the images.

Thanks again for your constructive feedback.

Man im just gutted that the bloody "mail marshall" at my new job wont even allow me to look EVEN IF I WANTED TO!!!

Didn't offend me, so I'm one of those that don't care I do however think that it shouldn't have been posted on KB. I think of this site as sort of a living and evolving net version of an easyriders mag so nudity is fine but anything like those pics just isn't right. Just my thoughts on it.

Some people love to be offended. If you're warned and still read it don't complain, GROW UP

Personally, I don't see the point in posting stuff like that on here, as it doesn't add anything of value to the site, and if anything it tends to degrade the overall 'flavour' the site has as a (primarily) motorcycling forum. That's not to say that anything not directly related to motorcycling shouldn't be posted on here - in fact, I believe all kinds of discussions of non-MC stuff should be included. F'rinstance, there have been posts of a personal nature on here that have helped people get useful advice or allowed them to vent in a healthy way.

However, I think that unpleasant, sordid or otherwise objectionable material doesn't really benefit anyone, so it doesn't have a place here.

I dont mind it. I mean yeah the picture was 'Objectionable' to say the least. but it was in the 'off topic' forum. and sufficent warning was given (in RED text no less)

Well that settles it then.From now on any warning that is serious will be made in red text and any that are done in jest will be made in purple. No confusion.

I'm not so much worried about the pictures but rather your motivation for posting them.

I thought it was sickly funny, and personally, fake. But that doesn't matter. You had a big red warning there, and yet people still open it. But like someone said, you say don't and they do. And it is in the 'Rave On' section which clearly states is for content that has bugger all to do with bikes.. and I don't think that does, really.. when you think about it.. nah..

Anyhoo, someone sent me a funny ad that is about KY, so now I have a dilema. Do I post it or is it going to offend? Apparently it's genuine, so don't blame me, but is it worth it? Wouldn't have questioned it until now..

Post it!

A very wise man told me once "less bitchin' and more laughin' on this site I reckon".

I'm in agreement

thinking about this 'warning' thing, if you saw a big red sticker on a drill that said 'Don't stick up nose and turn on', would ya?

A bit like the guy at Steel and Tube who cut reo-rod to length. Sign says "do not insert finger" or something to that end. Guy thinks to himself, I bet I can pull my finger out before the cut is made..... Only he doesn't realise that the device grips the rod to secure it before cutting...........
True story, now they have a tube welded on the front of it to ensure that fingers stay where they should.
