Who said I was PO'ed about the photo? My only concern is sacrificing a good thread as Carm indicated for others that have been able to toe the line and keep it appropriate. Is posting this or proving that you can worth Simon pulling the whole thread?

Entirely, up to you ... you can teach children values, some adults have to discover them the hard way by hurting others in the process or sacrificing what was enjoyment for them.

Hopefully, Simon will only remove the one post and not pull the whole thread, once it is discovered or reported.

Defying the moderators is not very smart, and insisting on these type of posts simply puts the thread at risk... Here is, again, one of the warnings... Let's also remember that Simon has expressed, in no uncertain terms, that he is getting tired of having to baby sit adults that don't know what is and isn't appropriate to post in a public forum...

Best regards,

Preferring more naturally and elegantly posed women on Alfa Romeos, upon looking at post #300 my eyes were drawn to the Cyrillic writing (BALTIKA) on the tent at the back of the picture. I recalled something similar that I had seen just a few moments before. Sure enough, the offending picture in post #300 is in the same place and series as the third picture in post #12 on page 1 of this thread. Perhaps an artistically inclined member could "re-clothe" the model in post #300 with her missing clothes before the moderator removes this photo.

A much simpler solution would be for the poster to respond as he's been politely asked to.

FTR, the only people that can remove the photo or redress the model are the moderators and the original poster. As Enrique pointed out, the warning has been issued numerous times and Simon's patience may very well be short with the redesign, and he could simply opt to pull the entire thread as opposed to one post since it has become a continuing problem of individual posters defying the moderator's requests, ignoring other bbers advice regarding the specified posts, and not being able to define for themselves appropriateness and good taste as it applies to a public forum.

I think this must be a really popular thread on the BB, but for long winded discussions over appropriateness of one (rather tame) photo is just a waste of bandwidth IMO. I've seen far more provocative material at 9pm on SBS television (Australia's international orientated TV channel). Fair enough, lets draw the line with anything vulger or pornographic, but surely the majority of human beings can contain themselves with a semi-naked person (from a distance at that!).

If you don't like the picture move on to the next thread and let it be!

Simon's on vacation for a week and I have the pleasure of BB babysitting until he comes back. Please keep the pictures clean. Thanks!
