Nonsense. Unless perhaps you disagree with the rest of the world that liquidated cabbage does taste nice. Like common sense there is this idea of common taste. There is no reason for the persecution of naturists other than the sensibilities of a society. With any society there is this idea as to what is tasteful to that society.

In some ways it's great that Collarme has grown to the point that the Mods can no longer screen all the pictures people wish to use as their first picture, the one that shows on their profile and when they use the forums.  So, the Mods have asked us, the users to let them know if and when we see a picture that is particularly offensive in some way.  I think it's wonderful that the Mods trust us to only report pictures that really are questionable.  The Mods only have to make decisions on a few pictures instead of thousands.  It is up to the Mods to decide if a picture should be allowed or not.  When and if I report a picture I am only asking the Mods whether the picture is within the guidelines of the site.  I have no say in whether the picture stays or goes.  It's the Mod's decision based on Collarme's guidelines.

It was not tastefully done as I've seen some of the nude pictures.  It was just a cock and balls...ugly ones to boot.   I immediately hid that user so that I will never have to see that again, at least from that member.

If one wishes to see cock shots and pussy shots there are several meat market web sites where those pictures are available for all to see.  Of course, those sites don't always have forums where people can discuss the pictures, but if pictures is what you want, then pictures is what you can have.  At least here on Collarme you have been given the opportunity to express your displeasure at not being able to see and post those pictures.

But starting a thread to whine about how your visual morals were offended by having to see something you agreed to see by signing up for this sight is not only ridiculous, it is as hypocritical as me complaining about having to look at someone's face on a profile if it doesn't strike my fancy. Trying to dress it up as a matter of "taste" after the fact, is purely disingenuous.

HOLD ON THERE ONE DARN MINUTE.  When I signed up for Collarme there were NO naked pictures allowed.  As I stated earlier, there were NO fuzzy pictures allowed.  There was NO bondage pictuers allowed even if fully clothed.  So don't tell me what I signed up for.  I did not sign up to see another alt.com meat market.

And if anyone wants to argue that this is NOT a "porn site", read the definition of porn. Basically, it's pics, words, whatever, that's intended to sexually arouse.

Now, maybe not everyone has any sexual thoughts or feelings associated with d/s, m/s, etc. Those folks would certainly be in the minority, I would guess.

If you're saying that the Terms of Service of this website have changed concerning the depiction of sexual images since you started your account here, I'm willing to be shown/told by someone behind the scenes who might actually be able to substantiate your point.

Somehow though, as a former webmaster of an adult fetish-related website, I have a suspicion that will not be the case.

So, you're saying that within the confines of a community, there is an expectation of what one should expect to be exposed to? And that, based on those community standards and expectations, should the understanding or at least irony-free commentary grow from?

The nature of this site necessitates it being self-advertised as a porn site. It gains money from working within the promotional circles of porn sites. It advertises porn sites.

And somehow, some way, some people are under this presumption that being appalled or discomforted by being exposed to porn, by virtue of being on this website, is a grievance they can feel justified in complaining about.

You stated that acceptable taste was determined by each individual in the world and the reality is that is nonsense because people that form groups also decide subconsciously or consciously what is and isn't acceptable within that group.
