Actually, I have seriously considered that. However, IF the webmaster was really concerned, he would have banned the thread by now, since it has been argued and discussed several times before. As it goes, he likely posts there too. "The true test", sure...I stand by what I said, if there is nothing you can say apart from "community standards" - which is assuming everybody that logs in or lurks actually shares the same standards as you, apart from liking Judas Priest.
Me, with having vented online for anybody to reply only now, years after the thread first came to existence, and not having bothered to get involved in circular arguments in those times, it is a no-brainer that asking for it to be banned is a very unpopular move and a late one too.
I can't tell people what to say and what to do. I can only hope that by their sense and reasoning they will do well unto everybody (me including), wouldn't you think so?
But it doesn't stop me from venting every now and again because I find those images pretty sad.. and a damn nuissance when I don't want to log in, just want to browse around and see what's up (just like I said in the initial post).
Thank you for keeping ignorance and stupidity from completely overwhelming your replies, but I wish Practice What You Preach was the more prevalent attitude towards your female metal fans.

There is something very wrong if the ADULT, GROWN UPS, over 30; the over 40 crowd is posting and looking at pubescent looking women with absolutely no body hair. If women posting this sort of crap are doing it, I don't want to meet the lesbians.
I already knew as soon as I got fed up enough to write and post FINALLY about it that I would get the same sort of OLD tired replies every time the issue comes up. It's worthless arguing against this sort of low brain power but because sometimes, I, as a victim of sexual harrassment and abuse, I get fed up and I recognize it for what it is. If you want to appreciate this type of female form, personal-message it between yourselves.
The appreciation for the female form comes in more shapes and forms than the teen wearing barely nothing in sexual poses. A woman is a full grown female ADULT. The forms are natural without any silicone enhancements, NO airbrushing to remove any perceived wrinkles or moles and OVER 21. They can be OVER 31, OVER 41, OVER 51.
The standards of this "community" is absolutely a bunch of HYPOCRISY talk. If a handful of women finds it funny, there are thousands more who think it's not.
I'm not a feminazi, sometimes I get fed up of being used but with the prevalent attitudes of pubescent teens in men old enough to exercise constraint and take their "appreciation for the female form" elsewhere where they'd be less constricted and more thouroughly enjoyed, ya know, wears me out.
Why doesn't Rob Halford himself, who appreciates the male form, why doesn't he have a bunch of pubescent looking naked guys on his website?
Why do *I* have to deal with your sexual preferences here, even though I am very aware each JP member is not assexual?
As I said, I'm not a feminazi or a prude, but sometimes, sometimes, I'd like these threads to not exist in this website.
I'm venting and wasting my time because ignorance and stupidity will always win out.

But, some dont like the tastless joke thread, some find the inuendo in the sinfull thread offensive. over the years, many people have posted in the thong thread, very little of it has been beyond the comunity standards, as indicated by the number of banned messages. Its sure not intended to harass anyone. Its just a place that started as a joke but evolved into a place for appreciation of the female form, and infact, over the years I can think of three women who were regular contributors, and more who were ocasional contributors
peace.

If I have those threads in ignore when I'm logged in, I can't help but be slapped in the face by this juvenile sexism catering to - male - teens when I'm just passing by to see if there are any worthwhile news of the band.
Because sometimes I get fed up of having sexist sort of crap being thrown at me from every angle.
Sometimes I would like some respite from being harrassed either physically or mentally.
Sometimes I wish for certain threads to not exist and those who keep feeding them to go to the titty websites and STAY THERE.
