| Hello ... and Goodbye.
I decided to make this public as well because I think everyone else needs to see it. If it gets deleted it will only strengthen my point.
.....
I'm going to try and make this short and sweet because frankly I'd rather be playing the game.
I should first mention that this in no way is a stab toward the admin but I feel the need to vent ... and a private message to the admin seems to me to be the best outlet.
My wife has been playing the game since Beta as I'm sure a lot of us have. She joined this forum to share, meet and greet as such is the purpose. Since then she has been selectively picked on another member of the forum.
As you may guess, yes, this has to do with the photos she's posted.
Why post any photos at all? Well because communication is enhanced when you can see the person you're communicating with. I know we can agree on this because that's what this place is all about. The more people took an interest in getting to know her, she obliged by posting more and more of the photos we have. I'm a photographer.
There have been in several places here, comments made toward either my wife, the photos she's shared or what is art and what isn't. While everything she's posted is in accordance with the TOS we still feel that there is a person in particular that is making us feel unwelcome.
All my wife ever wanted to do is to reach out to others that enjoy the game and get to know them. She put herself out there in full ... it's who she is. Without even truly knowing her, she's already been targeted with having "lower standards". Personally I find that extremely offensive. When someone's integrity is being questioned because she wants to share a small portion of who she is ... and then she catches a fireball for it ???
Once I heard about this, I responded in a courteous manner ... even quoting Gandalf himself to help make my point clear. It was never an arguement but rather a point made reflecting how I feel about what was being said.
"Do not be quick to deal out death and judgement. Even the very wizest cannot see all ends."
It was short, sweet, to the point and ... deleted. !!!
I moderate and manage my own forum in a totally unrelated genre of interest. I know how tough it can be to make everyone happy without being judgemental.
This Faces forum however ... after only a few posts ... has proven that this is certainly not a place that I would want call "home".
You can have your faces forum, kids. I'll be in the game.

... P.S. ...
If you're going to exercise true censorship here at the forum instead of leaving it at home where it belongs then you might as well start with the offensive banners that I'm seeing from Bullz-eye.com. I know you don't have control over what images advertisers include in their links banners ... but you do have control over who your advertisers are.
You Holier-than-thou types make me sick.
