I can't believe you guys are agonizing over this "ethical dilema." it redicuolus... have you been so jaded by "popular opinion" of what is right or wrong that you let $$$ signs dictate what is right and wrong? Poronography and all the sick things that go with it ( i don't think i have to elaborate do I?) are PLAIN WRONG! Anyone caught "dealing" with it within our system is removed and banned instantly! no chance of appeal....If you don't like the terms & conditions then leave! And you know what... our clients like that .. many signup with us for that very fact.... they feel safer that we enforce those rules.. Ty it you'll be surprised.
