it claimed to be a TOS violation in the posting of nudity and links to nudity (or as was claimed shock value and porn). I checked the links and Yes, there was nudity, but I found it to be in an artistic use of same and found no shock value as apparently the alerting member did. I find the human form to be a thing of intrinsic beauty (naturally perhaps some more than others, but that is for me to decide) and does not in and of itself cause me to be repulsed.

If the alerting member has a problem with the post, they are free to involve the mods or simply to trash it themselves. I really don't like the many posts about cats and kittens (which often seem to turn up in what I consider to be the wrong forums) and trash them without alerts or commenting in the threads. It seems some folks take this stuff way too seriously.
