Some issues have cropped up elsewhere that this site is also vulnerable to, so I wish to mention them.
1. Be careful what images you post. For instance, it is technically copyright infringement to just copy some image from somewhere without permission and post it. It can create work for me when I get some letter from a lawyer complaining about it. There is no liability for me there, so long as I act on to the complaint, thanks to federal law, but for you the poster there is no such protection. Its just not a good idea. The places most likely to go after you on this stuff are stock photo type places, they make their living sometimes doing this. It is best if you limit pictures you post to pictures you've taken. If there is something else you want to share, you can always link to it.
2. No sexy images. The line drawn here is way way way on the prude side, it isn't my choice, Google is dictating this. Most people I think would instinctively think that okay, a picture of naked woman is bad, but a girl in a bikini would be okay because we see them on magazine covers while buying groceries, or on billboards, or on TV (and lets not even mention what you'll see on MTV), etc. But no. PG-13 not okay, PG not okay probably, at least, not when it comes to sexiness. If you would be uncomfortable staring at the picture for 20 minutes while your mom, grandmother, daughter, a priest, a nun, rabbi, bishop, imam, all look over your shoulder, don't post it. On another site I got in trouble because a member had posted a picture of a girl in tight jeans, everything was covered, and as tight as they were it was still denim, not some sheer fabric. I think it is fairly ridiculous, the modern world has moved beyond Victorian sensibilities, but I don't make these rules, without the Google Ads this site couldn't exist.
In furtherance of these two rules I've added a setting where unregistered members will no longer be able to view photos. This may encourage more registrations, as well as create a layer of privacy around photos that will be slightly protective I hope, should anything slip through the cracks.
