Thanks Jordan CD for removing the porn imagery. I’m moving this issue of visual porn rules to its own thread.
As far as others who post porn images recently it is because they think that it is acceptable. This is not a porn site. We should remember that this is a site for discussion of bisexual issues and support for bisexuals as well as profiles of members.
If you go back to posts around 2014-2015 such as “Do you ever get tired of posting totallly stupid shit just to get attention?” you may understand the turmoil that a mentally sick troll caused on the site after Drew’s death. Coasttocost brought this thread from that era to the forefront again. Most bisexual women and many bi men left the site. Prior to that when the founder Drew was here there were no nudes in photographs and few images with the user name. Drew wanted members to censor each other but eventually he saw the need to moderate. Drew made it clear that bi.com was not a porn site and he asked members to tone down their posts during an era when he was concerned that he may have his license removed as part of the backlash.
It looks like Brian is doing an excellent job quietly moderating troll posts, non consensual sex, sex involving children posts but may have reasons why he has not deleted visual graphic porn. Discussion about sexual freedom was encouraged by Drew but he did not put into the rules visual porn, anti-LGBTQ . The site prior to 2014 did not use visual imagery as much as is happening today. I do not recall any member putting a cock or pussy shot in their user name section or posts. There was chat and discussion in the forum, then the groups and Blogs. All were word based with minimal visual imagery.
Within the past few weeks a member posted words that are stereotypical racist about objectifying Black men. That probably should be in a revised rules. A rule involving anti- LGBTQ Two Spirit people and racism is also missing from the rules. This means a troll could attack bisexuals, people of colour etc. without consequences. Swearing is also used sparingly by members who self censor themselves.
Where does “sexual freedom” end and "porn and perversion" posts take over is difficult?
