Still annoyed about the shenanigans over at the other place. The stupid thing is that it's blatantly obvious what they're doing and why they're doing it: they're building up to a sale and they don't want there to be anything that's at all controversial or that might expose them to litigation. So why on earth can't they be, dare I say it, candid about this? Then everyone would know where they stood and there would be none of the nastiness. All they need are a couple of simple rules:

We accept - photographs of kittens; photographs of sunsets; photographs of water droplets; photographs of babies; photographs which mock fat people; posts which insult foreigners (only acceptable from UK or US citizens).

We do not accept - photographs which contain nudity; photographs which show violence (although self-portraits by attractive young women who have made themselves up to look like victims of violence are acceptable) (and photographs of violence against foreigners may be acceptable if taken by UK or US citizens) (and we may accept photographs of violence against fat people, though nobody has tried to post one of those, so we haven't made up our minds yet); photographs of people unless accompanied by a model release (model release not required if the person is a baby).

Simple.

My favourite from today is actually this one:
