So, correct me if i am wrong....Mulger bill wrote: I've got a sneaking suspicion that one pic will sneak in fairly quickly to kill the deal. It only takes one. Don't forget the site and forum guidelines.
We are not allowed to post pictures of girls on bikes in a thread dedicated to girls on bikes,
only because someone could potentially post a reply (picture) that is not within the guidelines???
I am sorry , but if you want to aplly that logic, you can not have a forum at all, al threads have to potential to be
used for posting a reply that is not within the guidelines...
And what if somebody does put a picture that is not within the guidelines...
The mod can simply delete it??
But on no wait....that means that the mod has to keep an eye on that thread, that is a lot of work isn't it.....
Don't get me wrong , i don't feel the need for this thread, but closing it out of fear...
I don't agree with that, sorry...

I want to be able to leave this forum open on my desktop, not be worried about what my family will see. This is a nice, safe, family friendly part of the internet... at least, in terms of pictures

Is that thread not 'g' rated at the moment then?Nobody wrote:If this forum doesn't stay G rated, I can't come here in good conscience anymore. I have a family behind me who watches what I do from time to time. I don't visit the BV forums and others for that reason.
is the thread in it's currents state offensive??
In my opinion , no.
if you lock it when it is offensive or not g-rated anymore, that's a different story.
But locking it before it gets to that point is not something i do not agree with.
Sharing pictures of people on bikes , male or female is not a bad thing.
There are plenty of pictures of people riding bikes even on this on this forum.
and considering a lot of them do wear lycra, that could also be offensive...
2 random pictures that can also be labelled as 'hot' or 'offensive'
i know the picture are not written in that context, but the pictures itself is not different to the others.
so where do you draw the line ??

It doesn't matter where I draw the line. It matters where Christopher draws the line as it is his forum. He makes the rules. Depending on what those rules are and how the moderators police them dictates the type and number of people who visit here. My post was just a statement of my position.damhooligan wrote:...so where do you draw the line ??

Ladies don’t think like men, we don’t need hot blokes on bikes. We are wired differently. More like what is your gross income per year. Address, do you have water views, what kind of car do you drive. Looks are last on a women mind when all the above criteria are met. Even the ugliest man on earth will be attractive with those credentialsbeanspropulsion wrote:Yup i'm all for hot chicks on bikes as long as no nudity is involved, it is a family friendly forum after all.
Maybe we can have a hot blokes on bikes thread for the ladies too? Just to balance it out.
See my husband and I are happy he meets all the credintials required

Nay! It's the divorce settlement and/or inheritance that counts for some. Even some guys think the same.pine wrote:Ladies don’t think like men, we don’t need hot blokes on bikes.

Deep! Could you describe the sliding scale of net worth and attractiveness?pine wrote: Ladies don’t think like men, we don’t need hot blokes on bikes. We are wired differently.

For example, how much would Ron Boswell or Wilson Tuckey need?
Men judge women for who they are right now, not their potential earnings.

Men have to judge women for who they are right now; it is part of his assets. It is the hot guys on bikes who judge by potential earnings because it will be there future potential earnings.
