November 11, 200520 yr You are rambling Thomas almost to the point of being a troll. You are welcome to your opinion, even if it is erroneous and marginally insulting. After all you have the bigger stick. And you seem determined to use it. It must be very difficult for you being teased after loosing the secret debate. Tommy, your pseudo-intellectual vocabulary (sadly missing from the above post) will only carry you so far. Eventually people will recognise you as the troll that you are and you shall be on your merry way. Dereklev - If you are a sponsor then you have reawoken my faith ! I fully retract the above speculation Long live Thaivisa... we have plenty of other places for 'those' pictures.
November 11, 200520 yr and requesting donations.[/i] So, are you saying this thread should be closed, also? http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=50457&st=0 Yes Done. cv
November 11, 200520 yr Author You are welcome to your opinion, even if it is erroneous and marginally insulting.After all you have the bigger stick. And you seem determined to use it. It must be very difficult for you being teased after loosing the secret debate. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thomas, your style of teasing is, in fact, quite irritating as well you know. And to set the record straight, I did agree with the OP in the mods forum that it was the "under 18 access" of Bedlam that was a real problem and it was I who said that if we can't get the access sorted we should "nip it in the bud before it gets going. At the moment it's a bit like kids sharing their naughty pictures - a bit of cheeky fun - but if we let it go further it's going to get more and more explicit." I also added that we should delete the threads after they were closed. So I have no difficulty at all in being teased - but I don't like being irritated by people who don't know all the facts and guess wrong.
November 11, 200520 yr "under 18 access" of Bedlam that was a real problem <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sowwie I don't disagree with your decsions at all mods because it woud cause a lot of trouble having underage children viewing these images being the age to join is thirteen. But what about having a different age to join TV? Or even a sub forum for people eighteen and over? But I guess anyone can lie about their age on the internet and make up a date of birth.

November 11, 200520 yr I therefore cannot see how any reasonably intelligent person can justify the existence of threads that indirectly, and often directly, ridicule these members for no other reason than that they were born without the loose parts dangling between the legs. could you name for me the women whom you are concerned about?
November 12, 200520 yr No big loss......say's the man with the crappy internet connection, that cant down load all the pic's
November 12, 200520 yr i've always been of the opinion that the type of nakedness on the lesbian topic was more a celebration of womens bodies than ridiculing them , and the women photographed didnt look as if they were pressurised into being photographed. the fact that some men find pictures of naked women erotic or sensual should not be a reason to close a thread , why are so many people scared of sensuality or see it as a corrupting or a degrading influence either for the those who view , or for those who pose for the pictures.are we so hung up on the guilt of our being subjected to erotic input pornography is as old as the hills and people will always find reasons to rally against it , it used to be religion and the church that was against it , these days its the political correct brigade. it probably isnt suitable material for inclusion on a website such as this. if we wish to look at erotic or pornographic pictures , there is no shortage of sites to visit. the mods were right to bring it to an end. but where do we draw the line , if we cant have pictures here , can we have frank and open discussions of a sexual nature , whats the difference between looking at pictures and penning descriptive statements that will paint pictures for our imaginations.
November 12, 200520 yr My two satangs worth is that, its the bigger picture that matters.........i/m fairly sure most of the mods/admin aren't prudes but the last thing Thaivisa needs to to attract unwanted attention from the censors here in Thailand and risk the possibility of being closed down altogether. I/d therefore come down on the side of admin on this issue.............better to be safe than sorry. As already said there is always Barladies.com.

How would censors see into Bedlam in the first place?
November 12, 200520 yr Do you really think they wouldn't have a way to view all web pages coming in? I found the pics juvenile to the extreme and ignored them until it was pointed out that some photos could be taken as pedophilia if the faces weren't posted as well. Felt, as a mod, I should check periodically. Boring. It was then brought up by other mods that perhaps this could be taken as porno. Lets face it, if the govt follows through with their threat to block all porno then there would go TV in Thailand. Quite a loss to those of us who are actually Expats living in Thailand. Boys, if you must look at pictures "celebrating the body" (what a joke that phrase is) then there are literally MILLIONS of sites for you to look at.

To say that they are juvenile to the extreme is incorrect IMO. Most of it was light hearted and fun....well to us guys anyway.

Quite a loss to those of us who are actually Expats living in Thailand. Exactly sbk. Whilst I admit to being a contributor to those threads (and they were for the most part, light hearted), as an expat living and working in Thailand, I would certainly not want to see ThaiVisa blocked. How would I feed my addiction? A small price to pay given the big picture.

November 12, 200520 yr I hate do do this but we have no choice. The main reason why we don't allow this type of content is the recent or upcoming crackdown on "indecent" website content. We simply don't want to risk to be blocked within Thailand. There is nothing such as "free speach" in Thailand. I/we can sleep better at night if we take off content that could disturb the Thai Cyber police /ICT. We would all hate to access the site via slow proxies.
November 12, 200520 yr "celebrating the body" (what a joke that phrase is) the naked body has always been seen as an art form. be it female or male. that statue of the guy with the little willie (david ?) and the statue of the woman (venus)with no arms are just two examples. they are both naked and exhibited in public for all to see and enjoy. i fail to see how a picture that shows nakedness along with some mild sexuality is any different and i fail to see why some women get so upset and feel violated , demeaned ,and offended by the sight of nakedness and eroticism.what is the big difference between the high art of the venus , and the so called low art of the erotic. either or both of them may give rise to erotic thoughts , and maybe thats where the problem arises. please sbk , explain why you think its a joke and where are the lines to be drawn between eroticism , art and pornography.
November 12, 200520 yr So who is going to go through this thread and delete all the pics then? http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=36427

You started them all didnt you? Isnt that how you got the position of mod? You are like the big kid at school that always stole his dads stash of porn and then rented it out for a quid a day. Yeah nice advertising by the way, on the word porn. Thought you were all trying to discourage not encourage porn. How can you have advertising for sex sites but wont allow a few naked pics. Mmmm double standards abound. What happens is once one assumes the mantle of Moderator, one views things in a different perspective.
November 12, 200520 yr Author Ruined my fun, had a whole bunch of nice pics to post. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You can always PM the links to receptive members
November 12, 200520 yr You do Boony... you do... You should see the tits thread in the mods forum... :D Only joking... Bedlam is still Bedlam, and that doesn't necessarily mean that we still can't have a bit of fun now and then... <wicked evil grin> Well, I've cleaned up as much as time allows me for now... I'll have to leave the remainder for the others to mop up... I hear the fairways beckon...

November 12, 200520 yr Author ... see it as a corrupting or a degrading influence...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Reminds me of the clip they're showing on BBC Prime from "Absolutely Fabulous" where Eddy is looking at a porn magazine, Saffy says "That's disgusting" and Patsy says "Why? She's the one with the whip".
November 12, 200520 yr You do Boony... you do... My statement was not made in the negative sense, Jai Dee. I'm not as 'loose' in the Bearpit as before I became a Mod...
November 12, 200520 yr Didn't care that they were there, don't care that they're gone either (shrug) Bigger picture is the minute but real risk of TV being blocked in TIT. Why risk it?
November 12, 200520 yr Who erased my last reply in this thread? Did I say something out of line? Somebody quoted what I said so there is proof that it was there.
