Shades, how long are you going to punish Ludwig?

Give him his image posting capabilities back. He's one of our wittiest posters. Please.

Ah, but it's the least of them that are the problem.

Just posted on another thread:


I like Ludwig, but Shades did indicate in a recent post that the issue was whether Ludwig would permanently refrain from posting material that some people might find to be NSFW ('Not safe for work').

Clearly what counts as NSFW is something that is not a mere matter of Shades' personal taste, since it is decided by what employers might object to seeing on the screens of their staff - and I gather that in some workplaces there are even automatic systems in place that flag up certain stuff.

Doe Ludwig have any objections to sticking to those limitations on a permanent basis? I believe from what I read that this may have been an issue between him and Shades for some considerable time, with each thinking the other is being unreasonable.

Chap I think Ludwigm agreed to those terms but Shades felt it was easier to keep him limited because he had tried before to allow him to post. In the past (according to Shades) Ludwigm has gone right back to posting NSFW pictures. With Stormy and Rockslider on board maybe Shades can try one more time. Behave yourself Ludwigm!!!!!

Chap and Fence Sitter have it correct.

I'm sure I have violated the NSFW rules many more times than Ludwigm. Personally, I feel he is being discriminated against due to his socialist sympathies.

Yep, Z. All those naked statues and paintings (I love them). :biggrin:

I've always been against 'blue laws', which is what I think we may be seeing here. If 'Not Safe For Work' material is posted here, I think it's up to the viewer to decide if his boss is looking over his shoulder before logging on. My guess is that his boss would not be happy with any content on MDB (sexy or not) being viewed during work hours.

I've never seen anything Ludwigm posted that could be classified as pornography.

Let him post images!
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

NSFW? What a load of BS. Anything below the Celestial Kingdom is NSFW - you've got conversations that are sexist, racist, homophobic... God, any conversation Pahoran is part of is NSFW.

Give me a break. Shades, give ludwig his images back and stop being a pedantic dork.
