Rule #2: Choose the correct forum that matches the content of your post.

We have a Photos section where you post photos.

We have a Videos section where you post videos.

We have a Links section where you post links.

Non-members cannot access the links in the Links section. Whenever you post a link in a section available to the public, you are essentially giving stuff away for free. What incentive do lurkers have to become members if you hand it to them for nothing?

may I create a WNBR threat on the Free File Hosting Sites section?

Just wondering which place do you guys think currently has the most women riders?

To me it seems like Portland does, anyone else think there is a better one?

Hardly any photos of it show up though. If they do I've not seen many. Same goes for Philly.

Yup, it’s Portland by a long shot. I would say about 1/3 or more of the participants are female. You’ll also find the most total nude ones as well, although they probably only make up 1/2 of that number. I’ve been to several of them myself with both my male and female friends.

You can still link to (watermarked) stuff erlsewhere. Just open a new thread or contribute to the apropiate thread in the free links section or in the free filehosting links section (when you uploaded those pics in a zip or rarfile to Zippyshare or other (free) filehoster) and mention your thread or submission here.
;)

You're absolutely correct when you point out what that rule says. But that's never been how the Moderators have enforced that rule here. Links to on-topic videos and photo galleries in the Exhibitionists & Voyeur section, especially in threads pertaining to specific annual events like WNBR/Fremont Solstice parade/etc., have always been allowed and are currently allowed. We go over this every year, and I tell you the same thing every year, and yet, every year, you persist in applying this rule in your own (incorrect) way. You are enforcing the letter of the law, and not the spirit. There is no need to enforce that particular rule that strictly. Further, there was no need to remove that link (which I have restored). If you felt that it didn't belong in the thread, then it should have, at most, been moved to another section. Posts containing good contributions that don't break any of the other rules that must be more strictly applied (for example, uploaded watermarked pictures) should never be removed entirely. But that's irrelevant in this case, since that link absolutely was allowed to be in this thread.

Please let this go. I've tried valiantly over the years not to make Moderator disputes public, and I apologize for doing so now, but I've finally reached my wit's end.

Thank you so much for doing it in public.

I apologise. I never realised that moderators can rewrite the rules to suit their own needs. So by all means, do whatever you want. I was just doing the job I was asked to do using the rules as they are written.

The fact remains that by posting links in a section where ANYONE can see them, meaning non-members, you are essentially stealing from Alex. Posting a couple of pictures and then encouraging people to leave OCC and go to another site is not only lazy, it's bad business.

can we just stick to sharing pics / vids, instead of descending into fighting amongst each other please!

hi stayp, getting a 403 forbidden on that zippy link?
