I have the feeling that the complainers are mostly woman
understandably so, and isn't that reason enough to not post such content as Chis asks?
throw in the advertisers on the web site don't like it and will stop advertising..
throw in thousands of alternative soft porn web sites you can visit instead
getting kind of difficult to keep arguing against what Chris wants isn't it, but keep trying?

Locker:
And the men that are complaining are men whom have giant vaginas for man parts.
I am all for Chris taking the stance as he has in the case revenue has been lost from advertisers. That i can understand and get behind 100%
I am not in support of those or restricting nudity under any other premise. All and all this is not a big deal but prude wanna throw your rules over me types are just he worst. Out of all the stuff that gets said and done on this forum the nudity should be the last thing you are worried about you kids seeing. Your kids have seen and will see worse on the internet if nudity is your concern. Sh#t half of your kids over the age 13 are probably sexually active and you just cant admit it to yourself.
As for women or men getting bent outa shape about nudity i say step out of the stone ages and wake up. Somebody needs to give you all a good shake.

what about that garbage on the political threads? some of you guy's are downright evil to each other. why doesn't that bother anyone? they just don't go there. I couldn't care less if I ever saw another boob photo on this site, but the fact that if you partake you're a vile, filthy smut lover who sits around the campfire with yer buddies talking filthy around ten year olds is ridicoulous

Having soft-porn images pop up unexpectedly in public is creepy, period.
It's a rockclimbing site (duh).

Out of respect for it's creator, ST users should abide by Chris' rules.
Unfortunately, you can't tell someone with no class what they are missing.
The name calling, violent and pornographic imagery, and writings filled with hate make this forum an unsafe place for children.
The folks responsible for this behavior aren't going to change. It's what they are.

There is a time and place for everything in life. Imop the internet is the wild west. No rules anyone and everyone know it was it has been the way it will always be. You don't like it keep your kids contained. Ow and shouldn't you be working at work not screwing off on the Taco?

Jebus, it was self-deleted.
My point was basically that the Terms of Service says 13 and up, and a PG-13 movie rating (which may provide a reasonable guideline of what is acceptable for a 13yo to view), allows for both nudity and profanity.
I deleted because I just don't care anymore. My days of posting here are rapidly drawing to a close. Too many whiners, complainers, and hangers on, and very little quality content (and by that I don't necessarily mean on-topic...birds thread is great as an OT example).
Have fun kids. I'm sure I will always lurk and occasionally post. Just tired of endless circle-jerkery about "civility" and similar.
Good day sir.
I said GOOD DAY!

This is a proper stance for a public forum if nudity is not expressly part of the purpose.
That said I love nudity. Got my own porn stash like most folks. I used to think there was no good reason whatsoever for ANYONE to have a problem with consensual nudity and it various forms of porn.
Then I got to know a gal who had one of the most terrifying and abusive childhoods you can imagine. This childhood destroyed her life in many ways. Because of her I studied and learned how incredibly common sexual abuse is for women. The damage that is done can be permanent like the worst forms of PTSD. Infact worse due to the developing levels of a childs brain. Pathways in the brain that develop and cause lifelong issues. Sadly images can bring on a rush of terrible memories and feeling for folks who have suffered these abuses. I think most people cannot fathom how common and damaging this issue is.
Patrick from Ireland on this forum can attest to this also.
SO I came to the conclusion that for the sake of those who have dealt with these issues it is not right to shove their faces into the dark corners of their past which by no fault of our own can be triggered by images of nudity. Keep nudity in well marked places that can be avoided by those who wish not to see it.
Also makes it easier for those of us who enjoy it.
Other problems people have with nudity are theirs and not mine as far as i am concerned

I like looking at nudes as much as any guy. I don't like seeing guy parts badly photoshopped onto other people's heads that have been photoshopped onto fat donkeys with camel-toes, all just to insult someone. It's just ugly and weird.
I'm pretty sure that ugly and weird stuff showing up randomly is what some people don't like about the forum. It doesn't take a prude to be put off by that stuff.

P.S. I have always found this site as a place for bratty male teenagers, not for adults. Adults just don't seem quite so offensive and certainly not so easily offended as the people here.

People often seem to mention "being adults" and "adult content" - when they are acting like children.

Meanwhile, as people whine about the forum's imminent demise, Zander has started a very thoughtful thread about rockfall issues on the Column and big walls generally, Pellucid Wombat has posted a couple of picture-rich trip reports about two Sierra classics, and the "Republicans" thread is still there, containing both intellectually stimulating and intellectually vacuous posts. Predictions of the forum's demise seem rather exaggerated.

Where does it end?
We have combat vets posting here, and yet people have, and do, post images of limbless corpses and other graphic war images, images that could have exactly the same effect.
We have people who've had traumatic near-miss avalanche, rockfall, cornice collapse, etc episodes. Yet we "shove their faces into the dark corners of their past" everytime you post images of big alpine faces, post about rockfall, images of avalanches, etc.
So again, where does it end?
