For the record. I didn't remove the link of a link. I removed a link that contained nudity. That link should not have been put there, and should have been REMOVED by the moderators of this board.
What people do or do not let their children do does not pertain to the issue here.
The issue is, NO LINKS containing nudity should be posted on this board, or any other public board. I fail to see why this seems to be so hard to understand.
Toofer: I didn't mean to sound uncaring about the link of a link.. I just meant realistically it is very hard to meet the levels of everyone's tolerance.. and to get upset about another link on a link is ridiculous.. I certainly am not going to chase through web page after web page. It is NOT my responsibility to make sure every young child on the net is free from those kinds of sites.. I myself didn't let my children online to play until they were older.. I grew up without online and did just fine.. I got involved with outdoor activities and I prefered my children learning how to enjoy fresh air .. As far as worrying about a link on a page I recognize and suggest. I cannot always be assured that another link isn't of ill taste.. however, it wasn't the page I had recommended.. nor should I have to take criticism or get abusive words thrown as if I intended to do harm. If someone has a child online I would hope they were monitoring their use since even the pop ups or the spam mail we all seem to get are enough to make anyone cringe due to content. Perhaps instead of focusing on the one who may have placed a link.. we should concentrate on the "Why is this form of advertising allowed to continue anywhere online?"
And your taste in art.. Let me be the judge.. I enjoy all different mediums of art.. especially working with Clay..
ScarletRose: No it's your job as moderator to check the links to this board.If i was a minor would you tell me the same? My kind of Art would bore you.
Toofer: Good afternoon Toofer.. Please feel free to share some links to Art that you enjoy. And as far as clicking on links of links.. you take your own risk doing so. There is no way of really monitoring that.. other than each individual setting their own level of tolerance on their browsers..

Toofer: no nude photos please.I realize that photography is an art.too many "artisitic" directions these days push the envelope af art too far towards porn. I agree the human form is beautiful,and in an innocent & descent world this would be an accepted concept.but we live in a world of many unhealthy,depraved & abusive ideas towards the body. I saw nothing wrong with the paintings posted,nothing revealing,but to avoid controversy,lets avoid anything that might even possibly be offensive. I have heard of people who have an extreme viewpoint,taking offense at the most innocent of artworks. even if we limit ourselves to really nice art,we could not be guaranteed to avoid an art controversy,example:
The Kiss (Rodin sculpture)controversy read about it here: * link removed
*Being that it is difficult to define exactly where a line should be drawn, the Globals do not want to see direct links to nudes be posted on the public boards. This is a public board. We expect the moderators of this board to adhere to this issue. This is not an "art" site, this is a "game site".....a family game site.
Hello - I figured I would share my opinion on the subject just so everyone understands what I'm thinking on the subject.
First I wanted to say that I think the pictures that were linked to here were very nice pieces of art. The problem that I see is where do you draw the line to what is art and what is "porn". For example, I have a page of naked girls who were painted on to create works of art. Since it includes nudity, I'm carefull on who sees these pictures so I won't post a link in public. But would something like be acceptable since it is art? Lets take an extreme example, I strip down and take a picture of myself naked. I call it art. Is it? The problem is where do you draw the line on the public board. For that reason, I personally feel it is almost beter to say "no nudity" at all then to have to try to determine where the line is between what is art and what is not.
The second reason I'm concerned is that all public boards on BrainKing are searchable from the outside (non-members). This incudes search engines like Google, and "bad site" blocker sites. [I'm going to use a worse-case senerio] Lets say one of the "bad site" blocker sites decided to scan BrainKing to make sure the site was acceptable, and came across a link to a site which contains nude pictures. Since some of these program are very picky, they may end up putting BrainKing on their blocked site list - which in turn may be a program used by ISP's or work of some of the players, which in turn may lose them access to this game site. Again, I'm using a worse-case type of example, but is another reason why I would worry if links to nude pictures would be allowed on a public board.
It's a shame that true art is cackled and questioned.. I would suggest anyone who doesn't respect even the works which were linked just a few posts down to stay off this board.. I didn't feel they were in dire need to delete .. I am surprised at some of the views of the higher up (globals).. I guess I am just getting more and more agitated by their opinions and pushing their beliefs in the public..
I am an Art Major.. and I will challenge any of their arguments.. You can count on it!
Toofer: That is a good question. This issue has been brought up in the Globals fellowship for discussion. After all of them have had a chance to contribute to the discussion, the moderators of this board will be notified of what we feel are or aren't appropriate links for this (public) board.
This is a difficult line to draw when comes to appreciating classic, masterful artists, and the appropriateness of this being a family site.
nobleheart: Renoir's Classical work I always admired. He captured realness and in an era where women were allowed to be themselves and not conscious of their flaws.. I enjoy drawing landscapes which is as real as I can get.. as for showing society or drawing people I could never seem to do..
Thanks so much for your thoughts and contributions to the Board Steve..
gee ty for the comments,I have been critized for having an old fashioned,romantic taste in art..ok I confess. its nice to see some people have some appreciation for real art..I know to many people who's idea of art is cheesy anime
ajtgirl: I was wondering that too. More than 100 netherlandish proverbs are shown in a grotesque way. The title of the painting is "Netherlandish Proverbs".
technically,this artwork is bodypainting.
but it is very nice work.
and it shows nothing revealing enought to offend anyone.
I am very cautious about getting anywhere near or crossing the line between art & nudity.
these days it is a very complex subject,many gray areas.
what is art to some,is offensive to others.
personally,I think the human form is beautiful.but there is so much abuse & perversion in the world.
