Now, if there was some other reason that my post didn't belong in the main forum, i'm completely open to learning what that reason is so I don't make the same mistake twice.

    Your thread disappeared? Gee, Tony - that's never happened before.

    Your thread could have disappeared because people just couldn't hang with the porn, after all - Warriors vote threads out now and a lot of people just don't agree with porn. How many would actually zap a thread in moral self-righteousness is a question. Yep it could have happened. But I am guessing that is not the reason. My guess it disappeared because it was legal advice.

    Ya see, Tony - your advice might have been rock solid, and you might have studied enough that you know as much as some lawyers do about the industry rules. But you are not a lawyer. We've had a LOT of people burned in this place because they listened to legal advice from "knowledgeable" and well meaning (and a few not so well meaning) people who weren't lawyers. So zapping that thread might have been Warriors protecting other Warriors from more than a view of bare boobies.

    I think you will find that legal advice won't go far around here unless you are a lawyer and can prove to be one.

    Sorry you did so much work - but you might want to stick to IM and leave out the legal advice unless you want to word it in a way that just tells people what kind of things they might want to consult a lawyer about when building adult sites.

    Don't take it personal. We've all had threads zapped.

      Ah well. I found all the information I shared on my own, and others will find it too.

        So, if it was that much work and that informative, providing links to vital legal information -- why aren't you putting it up on PDF and making a freakin' free report out of it? DUUUHHHH! LMAO. Isn't this a MARKETING forum? Hhahahahahahahaha - (don't take the slap hard - I hit the bimbo button more than I will ever publicly admit).

    I'm enjoying building sites about things I REALLY care about much more anyway.

      Hi, Tony,

      Where can I get a copy of your thread? Will you PM me with it? I'm not in the adult entertainment biz (oh, sure, they all say that) but I am looking for research on the topic--updated legislative links--to supplement some outdated info I need. Thanks in advance!

    No offense intended but porn scum is everywhere and it is not going to be in the Warrior Forum thankfully.

    There are millions of porn sites and I am sure forums that would appreciate your work. So it is not like it is anything to them if it can't be here in this one business forum.

    I read your post. I commented very briefly to the above affect and got attacked and ridiculed. That was probably what got it deleted.

    I responded again and tried to explain that I don't care what people do in private. Not my business.

    However, it is offensive to me and I am being forced to see it everyday, for instance porn scum are prolific spammers.

    Every day I have to see gross obscenities in my spam folder (even the titles make me want to puke)

    I can't watch cable TV which I pay for without seeing really graphic porn in the middle of any movie.

    So sorry, but I am just really up in arms against porn.

    There must be better ways to make money.

    It is nothing personal and I hope you can understand. I saw (before I posted) the number of reports against the thread (in the moderators forum) so I know I am not alone, and if the admin/super mods did not agree, only the attacking posts would have been deleted instead of the whole thread.

    It was a very well done report however and I am sorry you wasted your time.

      Patrician,

      Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am glad I finally got a moderator to post with an answer about this. The last time I saw the thread it had only one reply, so if it turned into a flame-fest, I can understand why it disappeared. I've noticed there seems to be more of that occurring here lately.

    Thank you Tony. I am so glad you are understanding.

    You are right about the spam, but you know 'the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree' and well I won't get off into the whole element there being sub-human as far I am concerned with porn creeps.

    You are very bright, well-spoken, and kind, and I really hope you will stay away from the NASTY stuff! LOL...

    I hope we can be forum friends!

    Best regards,
    Pat

      Of course.

      ..Next time you get a spam mail say out loud: "YOU GO! YOU GO NOW!" as you hit the delete key. It always makes me laugh...
