I don't understand why you're pushing this? You want to know EXACTLY how close to the rules you can come without getting yelled at?
Each SC member has to make a judgement call, and one was made in your case. What's the big deal?

Pardon me, but when/where did I say I can use it and you can't? |
Poetic license, just as the real context of my deleted post hasn't been taken into account. |

Something to do. I don't really have any stake in it. But in the interest of not being accidentally offensive to people I'd be glad to delete my bird.jpg. I just thought it would be amusing to have SC tell me to do so. |

Poetic licence? Give me a break. If that's poetic licence, then poetry doesn't suit you.
Sorry, Slippy, you just can't go around insulting people and pretend afterwards that it was just all in jest. That's just plain cheap.

You're mistaking me for someone who places a lot of importance in an online forum. |

It's not too hot. As far as I am concerned, you can keep it. Use it wisely, blah, blah, blah, people will understand. |

Shannon simply noted that posting offensive content is prohibited under the TOS, and that the gesture in question was used for that very purpose. We've had similar gestures as challenge entries (and you've posted it before), but not directed at the viewers or SC.
Your thread may have been hidden for other reasons (I don't know, I wasn't the one who hit the flush lever). It's fairly common to have duplicate posts or repeat threads of the same topic by the same person hidden, so there wasn't much point IMO in launching into a Rant over it, particularly with that approach. |

Can I post it in this thread, all by itself, with no other text or image? |

The point was entertainment, as was the approach. |

I made a humorous post poking fun at Manic for locking my silly router thread, not that the locked thread bothered me, but I thought the locking was funny in itself. Other SC, or Manic, didn't like the second thread, so the thread was deleted. I thought this was even more strange, hence this thread. I actually thought someone on SC was pranking me.
No big deal, it's just humorous. I admit I might be in the minority when it comes to how seriously I take online forums. Though my thread was very obviously meant in humour, it was poking fun at Manic, and that tied SC-testosterone up in a bit of a knot, I'm guessing.
Ah, aren't online forums fun?
Pass the chips, Beagleboy. :-D |

i guess i'm confused by who i should be mad at. i've read this entire thread and it's not enhancing my life experience one bit. someone's gonna pay!
seriously, though, i don't know what the original thread was all about, but is it REALLY something to get upset about? |

fwiw, i think the butt picture is kind of funny. but used improperly, i can see how it would be offensive.
for instance, i can post stuff like this:
"ha ha, you made a joke at my expense.  "
and have it mean something totally different than something like this:
"slippy you have offended me by your repeated postings and to show you how upset i am, i'm going to drop my drawers at you! "
crappy examples, to be sure, but there IS a difference in their context. |

Certainly, the original thread wasn't anything to get upset about, but it got somebody hackles up. I'm not upset, I'm just a misunderstood artist.
You'll have to apply by certified postal mail to get a refund on your unenhanced life experience. |

| I think that all moving smileys, or emoticons or whatever else you wish to call the non-cute antagonists that clog up the internet and make their home in annoying pop-up ads while displaying with animated accuracy the irritating nature of online forums and the poor medium of communication that these forums present themselves to be because of their intrinsic lack of emotion while with great irony still being able to stir up ridiculous amounts of binary tension and love and anger and offense within the dull hearts of screen-staring internet-talkers whose vocal chords have shrivelled up and given way to calloused index fingers which stubbornly ooze opinion after clickety-click opinion through keys and wires so that other screen-staring internet-talkers can be made to care and be distracted from real life, real oxygen and real people, are incredibly offensive. |

That reminds me that it's the season finale of Amazing Race tonight. My favourite scene of the series was when one of the contestants dropped her pants & hung a moon through the window of their car as they passed another group of racers. I suppose Amazing Race is too risque for you, and you'd delete her thread.
;-)
I saw this happen on Highway 400 once, heading home from the cottage during a huge traffic jam. I laughed and laughed and laughed! :-D |

having waved my butt out of a moving car window more than once, i can say that it personally does not offend me. granted, the audience of said acts was slightly more targeted than a worldwide photography forum, but i'm sure i offended SOMEONE in the process.
in any case, i don't think it was your butt that got someone (whoever) worked up, but the context in which it was presented. it's all about context, dude.
thanks for the reminder about the amazing race tonight. go linzes! woot! |

The context was poking fun at Manic's randomness in a humorous, light-hearted way. I thought it was funny that he was apparently pissed off that I'd wasted his time by forcing him to look at that graph a second time, and had invoked a "do not post the same image twice", rule. Even if the Forum Search worked in a useable way, I wouldn't have dug up the old thread(s), as the joke was in having a new thread.
Is it not OK to poke fun in this way? I guess it depends on the attitude of the pokee, as it goes on here a lot. |

slippy, don't go talking about poking/pokers/and pokees. that's sure to get you "deleted"
and as far as red blooded chix resisting your posterior -- I think I can find at least one ;) |

karmat, you know you get all tingly when you see that butt shot. ;-)
Also, I want to add here that my offensive "bird.jpg" was surrounded on left & right by these two:
 ...
... the pictorial context being "I'm thinking.... I'm flipping you off... Neener, neener, neener." |
