    You guys let a cartoon of a sex act with a child fly in one of my threads, I notify you and there's no response whatsoever. Its been a week.

    That's beyond the pale. I have no interest in remaining in a place that allows such a thing.

    Wait, what? An image that was used on broadcast TV and didn't violate FCC standards is beyond the pale? Damn, I'm sorry to see you go, but I can't see any justification for taking the image down.

    Probably because it's not a cartoon of a sex act with a child.

    Yeah, it's a screen cap from South Park, in a pure analytical dot point way you could make a good argument it's unacceptable, but that same sort of thing would extend to 90% of what's allowed here.

    Demi, that's not a sex act. It's from an episode where the character failed to read the terms and conditions of an apple product and were forced to be turned into a Human CentIPAD. It was a satire and on point with your thread.

    It'd be a shame to have one of our better posters leave, but I can't agree that the image needs to be taken down.

    Everyone's already said it, but that image came from a TV show on Comedy Central, so it's passed FCC standards. And it's a freakin' cartoon. And it's satire. And it fits the thread topic. And it's in the Red Room. So no, we won't be removing it.

    Do you mean no one responded with action or that no one even bothered to respond at all, even just to explain why they weren't taking action?

    Was demiurge provided with access to the thread? Anyone who looks at shelter releases knows that most reported posts are ridiculous attempts at trolling by three particular posters. I agree that such reports don't warrant a response. But should somebody who doesn't fit that pattern receive no indication that the report was even reviewed? A simple "we looked at it and disagree," by PM would probably be sufficient.

    Too much effort in that. Have you seen the workload of the admins here? Too busy doing fuckall to have the 15 seconds necessary to send such a PM.

    And god forbid some actual common sense be used. It has to be all or nothing. Either they respond to every single reported post or none of them.

    Maybe one of the mods could do it. I realise Clyde's trolling schedule keeps him pretty busy, but perhaps Bailey has time.
