I was just making a joke. I completely agree with you. "People being overtly sexual makes me uncomfortable." "Oh, this thread is called 'Nikki's ASS'. I guess I will click on it" "I am uncomfortable and this is everyone else's fault. Their actions need to change not mine." Dude, it's a rule. Plain and simple. That's why arguments like the ones that boil up in this thread are pointless. And as far as I can tell, the only reason these arguments pop up is because people complain that they can't post pictures that go against the rule. That's not even getting into the fact that those who want to see pictures that can easily be found elsewhere misrepresent/misinterpret what is and is not allowed. I don't see why such a big f***ing stink is made on a daily basis over something that makes FAN a more welcoming place to all types of people. And for the record, I'm a straight male and even I don't want to see that bullshit all the time, if I wanna know what a diva's bootyhole looks like, there's a Reddit for that.

When it's not a case of them actually being offended... they're actually going out of their way to find things that are offensive to them. If they can bitch and moan about being offended then so can I. Right?

I guess I will click on it" "I am uncomfortable and this is everyone else's fault. Their actions need to change not mine." it's like if someone goes to a porn site and gets pissed when theres sex going on But I see people's points and even agree with them, I dont wanna fight about it.

As per our glorious Kash overload this is the official rule
OKAY: Professional shots Selfies Videos shot by them (think Ice Bucket Challenge stuff) Photos with fans Animated Gifs of wrestling action, segments from shows or things of that nature
NOT OKAY: Screengrabs focusing on their butt, crotch or breasts Animated gifs made for the sole purpose of showing off breasts and crotch shots.
I also don't want "i'll be in my bunk" or "fapfapfap" style posts. No one cares that you jerk off. NO ONE.
Some of you will like this and some of you won't. I think it's more than fair to everyone. You can find a woman attractive without that gif of their crotch in closeup.

The rule came about due, in part, due to the reports being flooded with every "bunk" post, along with people mini-modding with zero authority to do so and flamebaiting each other, so it's a little hypocritical to cry foul on whining now and try to make a grab for the high road. That said, it isn't like there hasn't been plenty of bitching on the other side. It's bringing the worst out of people in general.
If people could just stop, you know, being pissy with each other over stuff that shouldn't be personal, it'd be awesome, but it's looking more like a fool's hope sometimes. I hate to be this guy, I do, but people need to cool the f*** off.
The rule needed to happen, but I get that it's difficult to make something like this which isn't going to have some vague aspects to it, but this is like the last thing mods want to have to deal with, hence the rule. We don't need or want to be having judgment call after judgment call, wasting time and patience on ass gifs. It's a mess.

Short version if you are offended by this thread, ask for these types of thread titles to be banned and everybody will be happy.

FAN isn't the only wrestling board on the Internet, it's also not an image board. The rule is in place, it's not going to change. I think you're misunderstanding my intention. I'm not "Pro" vulgar posts as much as I'm "Anti" people who actively seek offense. My issue isn't with the censorship as much as the fact that people are actively trying to be offended then complaining when they are. Again, I'll use the US movie theater analogy... This thread is obviously PG-13... people who enter it knowing this then complain that it isn't G rated are the problem, not the fact that it is or isn't. If the problem really was people seeing what they didn't want to see the solution to keeping people from seeing stuff in threads that they don't want to would be as easy as movie ratings. Instead we have people walking into blatant theaters (threads) advertising ASS and complaining that it's not G rated. In that case the solution isn't making everything G rated (like they're doing) it's educating people on what f***ing theater to walk in to... It's above and beyond that here even... people are knowingly walking into the Quentin Tarantino thread and just so they can complain about the violence with intent to censor it according to their sensibilities, and I just can't agree with that.

FAN. Is not. A porn site. Nobody gives a shit about standard pictures and gifs. Nobody. It's the gross and gratuitous slow-mo, close up shit that causes problems. We have members from ages 16-50+ here, we're a site designed for discussion, we are not a country where you have freedom of speech, you're constricted by our rules. We're not a f***ing Fappening subreddit, therefore we don't allow overtly sexual content. My buddy Bradley explained it well as did my dude Brood Lone Wolf Funker, the rule doesn't prohibit all pics, it prohibits overtly sexual content. I'm dropping the subject here because it's obvious that you don't understand why we have the rule or why it functions. Or maybe you do and this is just a weird, Sean Carless, Jr. gimmick you're doing but either way, you're not in the right here and I say this as a man that has been threatened with indecency fines from the FCC.

You're still not getting me. I'm unsure if you're even reading what I'm posting, or if you're just parroting (hawking? lol) yourself and others over and over again. I am not speaking against the rule, at all. I've said repeatedly that people shouldn't be subjected to stuff that offends them. I've said repeatedly that I'm not speaking against the censorship. In other words I AGREE WITH HAVING RULES CENSORING SMUT. So for f***s sake stop bringing up the same thing please. I'm only speaking against the people who actively try to be offended, then complain that they are so. Please take the time to actually read and comprehend what I'm saying before posting a long diatribe against me and calling me names. I would really appreciate it. I'm not trying to turn this into a heated screamfest... I don't want the thread banned. (although now I'm thinking that maybe you do and that's why the aggression?)

Honestly there is many worthy hills to die on. This isn't one of them. There is a thing called high speed internet, google, thousands of sub reddits, and tumblr pages and stuff that suits everyone's kink and more risque wrestling gifs and pics.
As the OP I really made this thread to be light hearted and goofy with people posting more goofy, light hearted, and surreal weird as f*** funny posts. I'm sad the way this thread has turned out to be.

I just meant it to be a "if you are offended by it don't click on it" thing.

You could always, you know, report any problems you have with posts and then have enough faith in the mods that we'll do something about it.
Not necessarily this thread but there's been plenty of times where people acted like assholes to each other because they didn't like a post instead of being adults and reporting the problems they saw.
It just creates a cycle: people post pervy stuff that should then get edited and, if persisting, would warrant a warning. Doing that would stop them. However, instead of doing that, people say ridiculous things, flaming each other and exacerbating the situation. If people would report shit first, then they wouldn't have to get into stupid arguments, which just makes the situation worse.
