New Moderator - we need a change

UmErica · #1 (**permalink**) 07-25-2007, 12:21 PM

The new moderator is playing un-favorites. I put up a new picture, which you can see here: http://www.pbase.com/lasombradelosdi...image/38682656 which there is no nudity, I can walk outside with my bare back showing and not get arrested. Anyway I got this message from the "Queen Bee" herself...lol

Notice the reason: I did not cuss.

Dear UmErica,

You have received an infraction at Character Faces.

Reason: Inappropriate Language
-------
Please do not post nude photography and/or nude art on Lotro Faces. While inappropriate material is an arguable term to some, we will not allow our members to push the envelope. The guide rule is this: if you can do it in public, it's okay to do here. Nudity is not acceptable in public places.

This photo was previously deleted by a moderator. Please be warned that your account will be banned if you choose to further disregard the rules.

Thank you for your cooperation.
-------

This infraction is worth 1 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire.

All the best,
Character Faces

P.S. I am sure this will get deleted and maybe I will get banned but if this is how it is going to be on here who would want to stay?

While I agree that particular photo you posted is borderline, I deleted it in addition to the photo you posted of two nude females embracing in order to maintain the integrity of my decisions as a moderator.

I treat every member equally. You have been warned in the same manner other members are warned for material in violation of our TOS. The reason you were given an infraction for Inappropriate Language is because we still have not set up individual type infractions for photos.

While criticism is allowed, harassment of other members or moderators is also in violation of TOS so please keep that in mind when you are posting.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Ok,

I've moved this into suggestions. I do trust my moderators 100%, Waterlily saw the pictures and it is her call in her section. I am sure she is not playing favorites or has any malice towards anyone.

Items that are on the border are just that, border and is in the opinion of the viewer. Personally I can go either way but I will not overrule a moderators decision unless I feel that it was done out of spite or against a user.

I hope we can move forward from here. I think everything has been going well and I don't want to see any problems.

Oh you mean the picture of me and my sister? She was not nude and really neither was I, all you could see was my back and her looking over my shoulder. Like I told rants I can understand a little more on that one because of how some might look at it but the shot of just my back? That is silly. If you don't think it is "favortism" you are wrong(imo), just remember back when I first came here and the remarks she made to me about my bikini picture and also the one of me getting ready where I was wearing a shirt that was backless. She even started a thread about them: http://www.lotrofaces.com/showthread.php?t=45

That thread doesn't have your name in it anywhere, nor does it make any mention of your photos. Your point is mute but I will still state for the record that I have nothing against you personally, nor against any other members for that matter. All of your other photos are still available for public viewing on the Lotro Faces website.

I stand by my decision as a moderator to remove any images I deem inappropriate. If you continue to make false statements about me I will have to close this thread. Thank you.
