Maybe I'm too old school and this is something that the youngsters (and foo) regularly do now.

"what up dude"
"nothing"
"got a pic of you weiner?"

I was honestly shocked by the thread. Way, way, way over the line.

I found out last night that even Reddit has a CP (well, post-pubescent at least) reddit. Was thoroughly disgusted. I think the official reaction to CP and the like has been over the top in recent years, but at the same time, people need to play by the ******* rules. I don't care what your justification is. Adults looking at the genitalia of individuals under the age of 16 is ******* wrong.

Why is it so difficult to understand that DT is not a license to post something that would otherwise be impermissible to post?

There was bad judgment on that thread, I agree. HOWEVER, the people on the thread in question had no idea... and still don't.... how old the OP was. He could be a troll. As the thread continued, it was my intuition that the OP perhaps had some problems and may not have been of age, at which time I tried to change the direction of the thread and mentioned as much. It was then (rightly) squirreled. I agree that the thread was over the line, but before you go being all "Won't you think about the children!!?!"... a little focus/reality helps. As well, I will recap the thread because I think some members are blowing things out of proportion. 1) Junior member posts "Do you like my dress?" in DUMB THREADS. It's a pic of a person of unknown gender wearing a women's pantsuit/skirt. First few posters assume it is a girl. 2) Someone mentions that the member is male (from reading another thread). Then some member makes the joke about "proving" it. 3) OP SAYS "Pic Sent" on the forum. 4) Several members think this is a joke and, in DT, make some dumb comments like, "OH really, lemme see!" 5) Turns out it wasn't a joke. The picture was forwarded to me by another member (NOT the oP). The pic was not nude, nor was there any way to determine age or anything. It was a pic of a pair of underwear, basically. 6) OP then mentions he is having some issues with gender/identity problems and appears NOt to be a troll and maybe has some real problems. 7) The thread gets squirreled. SO, in short, nobody was trying to promote kiddy Appreciation, soliciting it, nor approving of it. I think EVERYBODY thought the "Pic sent" was just a Dumb Threads joke. Let's end it before it gets more blown out of proportion.

I don't know if anyone really reads the rules. Hell, I haven't. I once received a time-out for posting visible vag in a thread (it was a painting, but whatever). So I figure you just have to label it as NSFW. Also you can swear. Both seem reasonable. Exchanging or inciting children to post photos of their genitalia isn't just distasteful and across the forum line, but also illegal. I don't see the issue here. -Don't post ******** or nipples; -If you link to them, use an NSFW tag; -No over-the-top avatars; -Don't do **** that's illegal, for Christ's sake.

I couldn't agree more. Being a Mother, even the thought of this makes me feel sick.

+1. Like I said, not a good showing by anybody. Hopefully this, and the wallogina threak, will show all of us to be a little more careful, not just in what we post, but in how we "joke" around and implicitly encourage activity we wouldn't otherwise.

that kid posted his age in response to my question in the sleeping with friends thread.

Why is 16 your magic number? What about 17? What about 15? What if standards are different in another country or another time? What if I looked at them 20 years ago? [/Roman Polanski Threadtrolling]
