I feel I don't have much say here, as I haven't been on this forum long enough (around 3 months), but I prefer doing away with nude shots, especially dick shots, as we don't know if the girl wants them shown in the first place and it seems more likely than not that she took them, thinking that they were for personal viewing. If bros want to see nude shots, why not simply go to a porn site and see similar pics there? Sex141 is
not a porn site, but a site informing punters of WGs and assisting them in whom to visit. Not only this, these types of shots are more likely to be leaked onto other forums, increasing the risk of the WGs' family seeing them. None of us would like to see that, right?? I can't see any benefit in them, but can see how they can be very damaging. If nude pics are still allowed, the girl's face should not be shown (just as you don't want yours to be!!).
When compared to nude pics, it's more likely she has agreed to non-nude pics for advertising purposes. I think it's no use questioning a bro every time he has posted non-nude pics whether he has obtained permission, since you can't prove it anyway - she may have said "yes" but had a change of heart later on, and in that instance, the bro may have been unfairly blamed. Also, the thought of being blamed despite acting ethically may turn him off posting.
However, guidelines for fair practice should be set up and bros should be encouraged to follow them, which means getting verbal permission to share non-nude pics with friends. If the guidelines are in place, we then have to assume the bro is doing the honourable thing by following them. We can't question him or point the finger. That's not fair. .
Assuming the bro is doing the honourable thing, for HGs, I think unobstructed face shots
should be okay, since the girls' faces appear on the database anyway, but for "pixellated pics" or girls who are not advertised, their face
should be obstructed, e.g. with a black band over the eyes. Therefore, in short, my suggestion:
nude pics: banned or discouraged
non-nude HGs and unpixellated walk-ups: no obstruction (and we assume that are playing fair by having asked to "share with friends")
non-nude pixellated WGs and girls not appearing in the database: slight obstruction to face (and we assume that are playing fair by having asked to post)
If the bro has admitted he didn't get permission (as was the case with one member in another thread) or the bro took a blatantly obvious sneaky pic, then those pics should be deleted out of respect for the WG, who should be afforded the same rights as you and I.
Just my two cents.
