As for people that say this is a personal issue and not PBase's well I disagree. The future direction of PBase and its membership is directly related to the material the site hosts. Personally I think Slug should address this issue one way or another so that there is clarity over the terms of use, that way everyone will know where they stand, and can judge whether PBase and PAD is for them or not.

I don't look at them. Try not viewing images that offend you or ask
yourself why you look anyway.
This is your issue, not PBase's

If God had wanted people to be seen naked, we'd be born without clothes on....
millerlau wrote:Neither the OP nor I were talking about PBase in general but rather PAD. I have absolutely no problems with adult galleries on PBase that are labelled as such so people can exercise personal choice about viewing them. However, in the 6 years I have been here I would say that the content of PAD has changed considerably and there is much more nudity/pornography now than when I started with PAD in 2004. So it wasn't that way when I joined, rather the content has changed since I have been a member. This is what I am commenting on.
Isn't it revealing that you consider me rude (your word) to engage in sensible debate on this forum but it is not rude for other people to upload pictures of genitalia

Given that we have accepted these works as art it is difficult to allow a case for regression now. True, in many eyes some of the offending material falls a way short of the standards set by the masters.
Does that mean that the standard of acceptability should pivot on competence? Not in my book. They have to be allowed to start somewhere.
In practical terms, even the offending PAD images are only presented as thumbnails. Pretty easy to take pragmatic action - turn the page.
Let's not be Mary Whitehouse as described by the late Sir John Mortimer. "She is always on the look out for material likely to cause her offence."
