Then we can take action on something we may not have even seen posted to begin with. Also note that I moderate these forums on a voluntary basis - I am not a Pelican Parts Employee (although there are some Pelican Parts Employees who are moderators), nor do I get paid by Pelican Parts, nor do I get special discounts here.
And as stated before - this is NOT a public forum - I get so sick and tired of people who state, "It's a free country - why can't I post PORN here?!?" Well, look at it this way -- posting something illegal here can jeopardize the whole website. Do you want someone starting a lawsuit against Pelican Parts because a child was exposed to pornography or worse? Or a government investigation into illegal activities? I think not.
This is a car enthusiast website started by a company that sells parts for cars. The forums are a 'value added' aspect of Pelican Parts. While most of the forums are technical discussions about cars, there are a couple of forums where off-topic discussions can be posted. As long as those threads and posts are within the forum rules and guidelines, that is ok. IF they are not, then they are dealt with - by the moderators and by the forum members reporting problems to the moderators.
This is not a pornography based website. Nor is it a website that promotes illegal activities. Those were not the intentions of this website. If want to get involved in things outside the scope of this website then feel free to surf on over to somewhere else. I do not understand why this concept is so difficult for some to comprehend.

First of all, I assume your a political science major. You completely sidestepped my initial querry. I'm glad unlike most here you have a life and even though you are no more than a minion at Pelican, I will respond to some of the points you brought up. Iam the last person here to want to see porn anywhere. The calendar was an attemp to show that naked women could be shown tastefully and non offensive. I'm sure a lot here would not know the differance so you may have a point in banning all nude photos. However, why is it alright for kids to come here and see torture videos as apposed to a nipple?
If I had another photo of that bike I would have used it, I didn't, sorry. Now will you or someone with some balls answer my original question.
