Baby J's Blog on the new policy for primary pics

For those who don't want to follow the link, in a nutshell, no more bare chests, bras, panties, or lingerie are allowed to be in your primary.

My take on it is that too many people decided to see how close to crossing the line they could get, and admin got tired of hearing complaints that someone is marking their primary photos.

This will, no doubt, lead to the usual grumbling about free speech and how one person's shots are more classy than others and how people should have the right to show skin on an "adult" site, but bear in mind the following:

1. This does not apply to photos that are not your primary. In other words, you can still be in lingerie, but it will only get marked if it's your primary photo.
2. We are not an "adult" site in the traditional sense of the word. Too many members see "18+" and equate it to "adult," further breaking it down to "we can show boobies." Yes, our membership requirements include a minimum age of 18, but that does not mean we're a porn site. To quote Mike: "If you don't know the difference between a Porn site and a site for people 18+, you're at the wrong place and you need to take your short bus somewhere else."
3. It is at the bouncer's discretion what's considered "sexually explicit."

You can now stop coming to me because your super-sheer panties got flagged. I'm probably sick of your whining, anyway.
