For my part I am aware of two Flickr members who have specifically requested that any of their photos not be posted here. GH Party Pics, who kindly posts some of (his) watermarked photos here, and Flickr user Bill Royston. If I happen to post anything which offends either a photographer or rider, please message me and I will ensure it is removed.
Last year I was contacted- amongst others- by one exhibitionist rider in the past to request that I remove previously posted images of her very deliberate, explicit poses for a small group of photographers and upon receipt of her message reported my own post immediately. To my knowledge the original photos are still live on Flickr. Likewise, I have nudged other OCC users when I've felt them close to the line, and hope that they would do the same in return.
I understand the concerns raised repeatedly on WNBR threads and have modified my posts over time to reflect this. For my part this is a fun, respectful forum celebrating the beauty of public nudity and the last thing anyone here wants is for the riders to feel insecure about that. I would posit that Flickr images posted here are appreciated because they helpfully negate the time sifting through thousands of unfocused, uninteresting Flickr images for hundreds of OCC members, and would point out- whilst respectfully acknowledging riders' concerns- that there are many, many other threads on OCC whose entire theme is nude images found on Facebook, instagram, 'old SD memory cards' etc. In the interest of balance.
Please let me know if you take issue with any of the above.
