Well, let's think through the policies and everything that entails. If I remove the pro-spanking parenting group, then we'll obviously have more of it posted in the main Q&A.
If we begin to consider all non-consensual spanking discussions to be "violent" and therefore against our TOS, then you also have to understand that it will affect things across the board. There can't be any photos or videos that discuss it, even in a humorous way. People can't ask questions about it in the main forum. Any mention of an adult spanking a child (other than discussing what was done to them) would go. So, if it later comes back that people are miffed because South Park videos or something get pulled under the "no violence" clause, you have to be willing to accept that. We went through this with underwear photos and certain people were throwing a fit because there were no exceptions.
To be blunt, I don't like the spanking groups and would prefer them to be gone, but I'm d*amn sick and tired of people giving me crap about how their requests for a cleaner environment later restricts them. I'd say post a poll on it and if the greater population wants no parenting spanking group and the policies changed, I'm fine with that, but ya'll better be willing to accept that your content is going to get censored, too.
Think long and hard about that this time, because if we switch it, and I get one ounce of flack from someone who wanted the content gone, you will officially see me snap. *end rant*
Equally, I can shut off the feed for the group, let those folks be, and you guys can use the report button if you come across something that you feel violates our TOS as it stands.
I don't think anyone wants then eradicated, just taken off the main feed. Let them have at it, but spare the rest of us having to see it.

Every sentence I utter on here is combed over by someone and I get things taken off that are quite mild in comparison to things that are allowed on here by these people posing as concerned parents.
I wanted FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE for the rest of the site to post what they are saying that should be removed. I think most of the things I have read that sicken me are enough to get most people ousted for good.
Don't shoot the messenger. I am not the one on the home page trying to encourage these sickening comments from these pro-spankers.
It is not about punishment. It is about how many ways they can use the image of a little girl being humiliated with her pants down and a red butt.
REALLY JA? Does this really need this much scrutiny?
If you are worried about advertising potential, I think this would tend to keep the advertisers away and encourage the advertisers who like lurid product to come forth for consideration.
Lucia, do me a favor then. Please find some stuff they said and send it to JA? She is asking me for proof thereof. I think it works better if more than ME do this thing.
I am asking everyone to help out that finds this totally unacceptable and repulsive. Not to bombard her, but to help her figure out what to do. She did ask me to send her examples.
I remove things that violate policies and most of those do not violate our policies as they stand.
I have never mentioned ad revenue, so I don't know why you think that's part of the equation.
I will be clear here- you, specifically voted to have underwear photos removed and then you, personally, screamed as loud as you possibly could when that rule affected you. This is exactly what will happen here. You can be a "messenger" all you want, but you aren't the one who gets used for target practice when people are upset with strict policies. Pick your poison, Sharonna, because changing the policies will bite you in the butt at some point, just as it will nail lots of other people. You'll post some silly video that will get removed and then be up and arms because we're "monitoring you too much." Mark my words.
I know you don't mean me, WW, but I would NEVER think you would take a position like you are being accused of. People on here like to read fast and not really digest what the writer says. I too, am guilty of that one. But, I try and think and read before I answer as a rule.
You are one of the good guys and do not get off on spanking kids' bare bottoms.
I have no idea why you would except that this whole topic is so repulsive, I really cannot blame you. But it is kind of how I feel when I read that swill more and more often on here.
Truth sucks don't it? The greatest tragedies are the ones we can find humor in. She wasn't even making the joke about spanking kids. You don't get it.

Meh. It's the problem when things gets too emotional. People forget their heads (no pun intended towards the male species). I know you did, and you said nothing that should cause any harsh reactions. Your arguing points are strict to the book, non-emotional but you're as emotional around kids being sparked as most of the others inside the thread. It should be possible to talk about these things without becoming personal and harsh against each other. Period.
