Frankly I am disappointed that certain users are still posting videos and images of children. This is not acceptable and I do not want to be part of a community that allows this kind of stuff.

i am new and i also thought this be bad too, and i would think that it would been see as a pedophile act to doing so. i thought this would draw in looks from peoples attention, that this forum would not be wanting.

If there are any concerns of this from a post or a link, feel free to PM me or any mod about it. No names of users will be given to anyone and it will remain totally anonymous. I will admit that as of late I have been online less and I do not click every link that is posted on the boards.

I have personally reported 2 posts from 1 particular user but the posts were never removed. They are posting clips of little kids.

I'm probably one of the few mods that visit this board the most though I might not check all the threads...send me a PM of threads or post that concern you and I'll look into them and see what actions I can take.

i'm not even aware of this as an issue. Who posted them? have they been removed?

Do you find that this is a constant issue that people post underage stuff. can that get the forum itself taken down?

I was about to post stating that I'm unaware of any instances of child pornography being posted on this board, but rereading the OP I assume you make reference to youtube videos and such that perhaps contain children within them in a non-sexual context?

If that's the case than I can understand the point you make, in the sense that many people on this board have fetishes which are perhaps "sexual" in nature, so people could perhaps be viewing these children indirectly for the purpose of sexual gratification.

Is this what you mean? I don't really want to sidestep from the issue you're raising into a more complex "gray area" if it isn't necessary, so I figure I'll ask first to ensure we're on the same page ^_^

Indeed. There is no need for images of children to be posted on a "fetish" website.

I agree. The reason I mentioned before about it being a "gray area" is that as I'm aware there have been links posted to youtube clips in the past which contain children within the content of the video, yet as far as I'm aware there hasn't been much cause for concern from people here regarding it. That's not to say it's because the videos are "in demand", because stating that people come to this forum for such content would be unfounded, and very much an insult. The point I'm trying to make is that because there doesn't "appear" to be a strong majority opinion about it, it's difficult to understand the reasoning behind it.

Lord Hypno has recently opened a thread regarding the creation of a new set of rules for the forum, and perhaps mentioning your opinions on this matter in there would help in the creation of some more solid rules. You'll definately have my backing ^_^
