Image Posting - Getting Approval First

[Jaymz]

If I have an image I'd like to post, possibly offensive content nothing illegal or adult, but would like approval before posting. Who would I talk to or what are the proper steps to take?

[Skip Souza]

"Possibly offensive" is no reason for censorship, even self censorship. You may speak with any Moderator and Pekka has the final call. Unless you are pushing the envelope really hard I would just post the image. If there is a problem you will hear about it (without prejudice) and we'll work it out.

Thank you Skip. I have reviewed the rules again. I dont see anything that pertains to this, but still wanted to error on the safe side. It was a shoot involving staged suicide/self mutilation. That can bring out some pretty strong emotions in people.

[Skip Souza]

You may rest assured that such images will elicit a spirited discussion. Staged violence whether outwardly or inwardly directed is always met with resistance and may not pass muster. You will never know until you try.

[Jaymz]

Fair enough. :)

These types of photos have been posted before and met with a great deal of resistance. If I recall, there was an unofficial "no-no" given to these types of photos. Like Skip said, Pekka is final and ultimate authority.

I am not one to stir up trouble for myself in a place I like to visit, so I'll just refrain. :)

Lax, I respect the fact that you asked first as to not upset the powers that be and offending the masses, me included, btw. I see enough death and destruction at work, I don't like to see it here.

Thanks, Skip. That was the post I was thinking of.
