Ok, I know I will be bashed here, but that's ok. For the record, I did not go to the sex thread, was not interested and never posted on it. It just seems to me that you are taking the rules out of context and seeing what you want them to say.
It doesn't say you can't post it, it says it can't be illegally invasive of anothers privacy which that thread was not. |

You agree that you will not post any knowingly false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, harassing, obscene, sexually oriented, or threatening message or material that is illegally invasive of another person’s privacy.
As it is written, it doesn't state that you can't post material of that nature....just that you can't post it if it is "illegally invasive of another person's privacy." The thread in question may be distasteful, but are the comments being directed at specific members in a way that can be deemed and 'invasion of their privacy?'
There is another section of the rules that states: "No adult images or links to adult images are allowed." So, not sure if that is happening....just saying.
Just wanted to point that out.....carry on!  |
I believe you are both reading it wrong.
It states: You agree that you will not use the YorkieTalk Forums to post any advertisement or other commercial message except expressly allowed by YorkieTalk. You agree that you will not post any knowingly false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, harassing, obscene, sexually oriented, or threatening message
or material that is illegally invasive of another person’s privacy.
The "or" indicates that the first part can be read on its own.
I do not have a strong opinion either way on this topic, but it is incorrect to state that if it is not illegally invasive that it is allowable. This is not true according to the forum rules and that "or".
I have had a post removed when I was first a member after a person posted about being afraid she was pregnant. I was giving her advice that the certain "method" she was relying on was not a proper one. I used the term and it was removed. If that was removed, the rules have become different or more things are allowable now.
