Very recently a young woman joined this forum and posted several semi-nude pictures. Yes, she's a physically beautiful girl, and some cretin (another member) saw fit to post a rude, sexually suggestive comment. No wonder so many single women don't stay. Is there any way to get this MENSA's comment removed?

If the comments are in her album she herself has to delete them. Otherwise, no. It is unfortunate that things like this happen. I hope one day we can be dignified and accepting of one another without feeling the need to hump one's leg.
The best thing you yourself can do is report the offending comment by use of the Flag button located on the offensive member's profile.

BudOct 30, 2010Yes, If she thinks it's inappropriate, she is free to remove it.
It's not up to you or me to remove others comments.ReactReply - WE
westheathenOct 30, 2010Nail on the head ScotsAndrew : It doesn't matter if she is beautiful or not, she should be given the same amount of respect.

For OregonGirl...
Thank you for the information. What particularly bothers me is the fact this is a brand new member, a young female, whom most agree is a sadly lacking demographic in here. When a 56 year old man feels the need to leave an inappropriate comment about the breasts of a woman less than half his age, it says far more about him than her. I'm just sick and tired of it....no wonder so many decent people end up leaving this site.ReactReply - DADanandJanetteOriginal PosterOct 30, 2010[quote]I for one would have no objection whatever about shutting off the comments completely. They serve no valid purpose and they invite abuse from vermin.[/quote] Agreed. Looking through other personal albums, they seem to be a magnet for cretins.ReactReply
- DADanandJanetteOriginal PosterOct 30, 2010[quote][quote] Scots, your looking way to far into that statement. I haven't looked but the person she is speaking of could be 400 ilbs and the poster thinks she is beautiful. who knows. The point is, the comments are lewd. Not that anyone is more beautiful than anyone else[/quote] Agreed- It is perfectly appropriate to acknowledge one's opinion of beauty in a discussion. No need to attack the original poster for such a mild acknowledgment. As far as the comments; we will just have to flag the lewd ones and be careful not to go too far in allowing someone to express themselves in a harmless way. For example: "Oh the things I would do to you!" and "Oh my what a beautiful lady you are" are both comments that I would not post, but I would only consider flagging the first example.[/quote] I agree. And I'm equally sure you would find the comment "nice perkys" over the line. It's the fact the target is a new member that really bothers me.ReactReply

After a bit of looking around I found the offending comment that you were refering to. As long as people don't delete them and don't report them there will always be someone who thinks its okay.
It's upsetting because the person who left the comment is a certified long-standing member whom I thought to be a decent person.

Paul VoglerOct 30, 2010I'm wondering, was this mystery girl offended? I only see people who think she should be offended.
ReactReply - DADanandJanetteOriginal PosterOct 30, 2010[quote]i my opinion the albums are an expression. how somebody veiws thier Lives and wanting anybody else to see how they live it. if the pictures provides no value as you say. then your suggesting no pictures at all to view or upload. then this site will be nudist without pitures and just profiles.....sounds kind of dull if you ask me about the pictures providng no value. ........as far as the inoppropiate comments...yes there is a couple of trolls parading around here and the sad thing. they even dont know they are TROLLS. funny how they just make themselves stand out like a sore thumb[/quote] Unless I missed it, no one suggested doing away with the picture albums. Only the comments.ReactReply

I hope not. But there are still some of us left who aren't afraid to speak up over inappropriate behaviour, whether the person addressed is offended or not. And yes, it may sound neanderthal to some, but it's worse for me when it concerns a woman.ReactReply

westheathenOct 30, 2010Well done for the apology salmongetter, other folks would have just laid low til the fire had burnt out. Personally I think that edit buttons should be placed where-ever folks make comments so that changes can be made.
It amazes me how many of the comments say something along the lines of "I'd like to be friends" but when you look at the accompanying FL there is no mention of their name. Did they pop the quesstion or were they rejected. I only tend to leave constructive criticisms on them as to how future photos could be improved; meaning photographic techniques etc (not new poses).
ReactReply - DADanandJanetteOriginal PosterOct 30, 2010[quote]OKAY....I am the offending member who made the comment to the young lady. I realized it was inappropriate but once I made the comment, and it was during a weak moment for me, I tried to delete it and found I couldn't... Yes It was wrong but, have you (whoever is reading this post) never said or did something you wish you could take back? I openly apologoize to all the members of TN and to the young lady for my comment and trust me from now on I will keep comments like that to myself. Oregongirl, I think of myself as a longtime upstanding member who made a mistake so I am asking for your forgiveness as well as DanandJanette directly. I am going to post an apology to the young lady it the same photo so she knows my regret....[/quote] Accepted. Case closed as far as I'm concerned.ReactReply
