Bare Naked Truth
So where did them pictures go? Well, about two or three days ago I received a PM from BB saying something along the lines of a little too much "nakedness." Per the message I needed a little less cheek/crack exposure here and a little less exposure there. Now, I’m feeling a little picked on here. I’ve been to many profiles on this website and I’ve seen much exposure of cheek/crack here and there, the full monty here and there, and a bent over pose with complete back expose and throw a little bit of boob in that. Seriously!?! By no means am I questioning BB and their rules, after the Vagina Africana incident, who can blame them. I am however, questioning the consistency in which the rules are applied and that is the "bare" naked truth. By no means did BB ask me to take down my pics. Truth is, I’ve been feeling a little out of sorts over the pics and compliments and a weirdo or two here and there, so, until I put things in perspective it is what it is. This incident has brought to mind a couple of interesting thoughts. Something along the lines of sexuality, sensuality and the word provocative. Would you say a woman sitting down in a chair, legs crossed hands on lap naked is more sexual and provocative than a woman clad in a two piece bikini (same scenario) with her legs spread open? Aaaahh, that’s the thing about sexuality, sensuality and provocative….it is subject to personal interpertation.

re: consistency: I hope you understand there is no possible way to deal an even hand across all 112,000 members all at the same time. We deal with infractions as they are reported and/or noticed. We simply can’t visit all 112,000 profiles every hour to make sure we’re "being consistent."
Obviously the higher profile people get more attention from not only us, but also from other members, so that’s who get dealt with sooner than later, while other not-as-popular members will get visited later rather than sooner.
It’s not favoritsm or picking on individuals, it’s just simple lack of time and resources.
As more and more members complain and report other members (which we already have quite the posse going, actually), it gets easier and easier to catch infractions in a timely manner, thus improving the illusion of dealing "consistently" with all 112,000 members, LOL. =)

I never thought any of your pictures were that provacative and I don’t really remember any showing nudity. read the latest blog I wrote and send me your opinion. it deals with a similar issue.

So, did you voluntarily take down your photos, or did the "Thought Police" take them down for you? If the former, then that is your choice, and I won’t questions your reasons for so doing. If the latter…well, I have a real problem with censorship and unfair application of the rules.

well some of the pictures were a bit naughtily posed, but nothing nasty. You’ve worked hard on your body and the photos you take show it off. many of the pictures were very exposed, but I thought this was BODYspace, not clothingspace.

If I had r figure, I would show it also! All I have to say is look at LAZARAofMIAMI……..she shows it all and hers aren’t removed yet!

I’ve been told not from BB but from some men here that I should take more off. My body has been my money maker, so I would say pay me first.

Meh…I’m not sure I buy the "most popular" get dealt with first line. I know from experience of the quick-to-notice the not-the-most-popular profile pic censorship…*shrug* oh well. c’est la vie, non?
