Help ! Couldn't find it?

[thetormentor]

I was looking for the Grid Girls thread, but couldnt manage to find it in a search..
I was speciafically looking for a shot that someone had posted of Darrell Waltrip on the Pit wall at Bathurst in 2011. Does anybody have that image stored ?

That thread has been deleted.

Apparently the close-ups of rears and cleavage contravened Google's AdSense policy.

Noooooooo! Say it isn't true!

very dissapointing....

that thread was epic

I guess if the pics had been kept to "full length" images of grid girls rather than focusing on boobs and "upskirt" then it may have been acceptable.

What has any Google 'Policy' got to do with this website ?????????

Or, more importantly, who gave Google the 'rights/authority' to be the 'Morals Police' for the Whole Internet???

Google AdSense are one of our advert providers so we have to keep within their content guidelines.

Any service provider has the rights to have their own content/usage guidelines, we have them on Tenths around what we consider acceptable behaviour/content.

Not to bothered about the thread, Google and Facebook policies are more offense that boobs, but wouldn't putting it behind the login worked too?

Probably, but it wasn't worth taking the risk over.

Yep. If Google advertising says no, why would you think another thread would be different?

I changed the title thread thought that would change their mind

Surely there is a workable solution. I suspect the old thread may have gone off track as the were no/very few ground rules laid out in the beginning. How about setting some rules, and then if a post offends it is deleted, and the poster cops a smack on the wrist?

An outright ban is going a bit far me thinks....

Unfortunately that then means that we have to check every single post in the thread and have new posts only appear once they've been checked and approved by one of the moderation staff. That makes it impractical given that all the Tenths moderators volunteer their time freely.

I did seriously consider giving Google the middle digit and just dropping them, however that would cause a drop of around 1/3rd in revenue. A 1/3rd drop would make Tenths unsustainable on the current infrastructure.
