Sirens of Titans picture link is to one that shows him flipping the camera off; I don't know if that's borderline offensive or not, but I'm reporting it never-the-less, because if you follow the posts a few later, flamebaiting/flaming occurs along with a nation telling me I'm not allowed to find that obscene.

Is it just me or am I the only one who thinks you should stop reporting everything that might border on a minor offence?

Its ok, he is a Kerry fan.

Last I checked the middle-finger isn't especially offensive. I'd sure have trouble typing without it. I mean we even have a smilely like that.

I agree

Dude so long as you have the choice to see the link or not it isn't actually violating anyboy or anyone. So let it go.

Not exactly. If you post link to porn site/picture or something simillar it will be deated. You too. Posting offensive things is against the game and the forum rules.

who knows? Maybe this is ther official greeting or parting salute in this country... It is certainly not 100% universal, as the fist upraised with or without the extended middle finger is rude in many nations as is the gesture of the clenched fist and forearm raised, bent at the elbow, conveys the same or greater level of insult in many european countriies. Lighten up... especially when this is on a link that you have the option not to click anyway.

Read before post please. I didn't said posting this picture is illegal. I said posting offensive pictures is against the rule. The "You too" was for the people that post offensive pictures. As far as I know

I have a right to file a report based on what I perceive as being against the rules and to learn just what is and isn't necessarily considered a rule violation. Personally, I wouldn't let you use that picture - as I think it's inappropriate - hence why I posted to learn if it was considered in violation of the rules of NS. In my initial post, I say just that, please, observe:

Emphasis added. :p
