And yes - with rules breed consistency. We are always going to remove those self-depreciating comments if they are complained about, and more than not they are reported to us. As for full body shots, I see no reason why you cannot post said picture in front of big ben, as long as you don't make the same comments we've had to edit out of the other thread. From my understanding, unless the member was accentuating thinness in a full-body shot, it was more the issue of the comments that went with them.
i do believe that about sums it up. It's not the PICTURE that is the problem. It's the comments along with the picture. And there were tons of warnings throughout that thread about those comments. people ignore them and keep posting. And blah blah blah. The rest is history. I think this thread is finished now. It's been explained a few times. The thread is gone, and the answer as to whether an outfits thread could be posted was answered by Typsee earlier :)

but in a community this size, not everyone will be happy. It's not possible to make everyone happy. SO you have to do what's right for the majority. *nods*
