Thanks :)
It might be best to let the thread roll with each or any new change
Some exceptions would be for deals where the merchants have child models for their ads.
Personally I think baby pictures would be okay, but might have to include those.
Avatars aren't so easily recognisable as an image posted in a thread, obviously is much larger usually.

I think then that the new rule should read:
For their own protection, images of minors or members children, may be deleted if posted anywhere in the forums.
The rule is there to warn people and that is good, but I feel that a blanket ban is not only not workable but also a great pity as we like to see the new babies and peoples' kids in general - surely if anyone has a worry about a particular pic they can then report it and have it removed at mod discretion.

Thanks, that does make more sense.

Agreed especially as it will be impossible for mods to decide if a girl/boy who posts a pic is a minor with an imagination or a young looking 18 year old.
In other words what age is HDUKs definition of a child?

Yes exactly, it needs clarification as it stands and lets be honest if it's being done for their own protection, older children are the most vunerable and the most likely to lie about age etc.
They are also the most difficult age group to determine, a 15 year old could in a lot of cases pass for 18, etc, etc.
It's a knee jerk reaction I feel, with not enough thought/clarification.
i for one think that the site is already doing what it can with the resources available, to allow as many users the freedom and flexibility, to maintain it as a family forum and use the site functionality without restricting it too much.
should we police everything we use? utter crap....why has nobody mentioned the parents allowing their children to use the internet unrestricted...what about starting there and placing the resposibility on the parents for a change.....do you know what your teenage son or daughter is doing on their PC, laptop or mobile phone every minute of the day? NO.....so what are you doing about it?.....a big fat nothing.....sitting on your backside on a forum criticising all and sundry....
Use some common sense people......take the simple approach in that if you notice anything on a forum or any internet website that is conspicious to illegal activity then do the right thing and report it....to the website, to the police ..hell go out in the street and scream if need be....
What we dont need is a line by line literal of what is allowed and what isnt allowed. That just negates the reason for the existence of common sense.
Most of you whine and complain about britain being a nanny state and yet most of the comments on that other thread would be interpreted as a nanny state action....
The vast majority of the people who use the internet are normal people, not mentally ill psychopaths after kids etc......yet the other thread (and no doubt the reason for this one appearing) seem to demonise the majority.......its those people that need a reality check.
like I said....take some responsibility yourself and do the right thing if you see anything untowards posted on a website...report it ffs.....
If it all gets too much for you then switch the PC off and go get some fresh air.
I'm sure the purpose of this thread has some great potential in educating users of the forum..but only if its positive, constructive and articulated in a manner where everyones interpretation of said guidance is the same.
That is all. Rant over. Thank you. :)
I missed the thread that seems to have instigated this but at the end of the day surely its up to the members if they want to post pictures of their children?
I agree with Gari.
Surely if some saddo wants to see children they only have to go to the beach, or the shopping centres...
Why waste time trolling through thousands of posts here hoping to find an odd photo or two..
What a sad state of afairs...
If anyone can see something sexually arousing in the photos, then they need help..No names mentioned
Hysteria? in Misc? Noooooooooooooooooooooooo :-D
It started when some rodent said they "liked" the child photos on a holiday thread.:x
