For the last few months I have been going through older posts which made it to the blog and posting some of those pics to google+, and then the pic also has a link to that post. The blog started in 2008, so there are about 6000 posts or so... In doing so, I am also trying to identify some of the unidentified athletes/subjects, and labeling their pic, in addition to adding a keyword for guys not identified before. Some of the visitors to the blog have also helped out by leaving comments on the post "that player in the fourth pic is Teddy Pontoon" or whatever. If you find it fun, click on the link below, and then on the right side click on 2008 or whatever, and then a month to see those posts. That's the positive, and has helped me really appreciate what a great group this is and its "archive" in the blog.
The negative: it is crazy to me how wild the comments on G+ are. Many overtly sexual comments. Some dudes also seem to think each pic that another dude posts (as I said, with the link to the blogpost below) is a picture of that same dude, and they leave phone numbers, flirtatious comeons, etc. etc.... OMG I am so glad that none of the groups I have been involved in has degenerated into sad and tawdry pickup spot. Thanks again to everyone who makes this such a great group!

No frontal nudity was a way to ensure all members were protected and respected. I've slipped a couple of times, once MONUMENTALLY, but for the most part it's a rule I like. You can see nudity nearly anywhere on the internet. At least, that's how it was explained to me when I joined.

I have a question about a group rule that I’ve never understood: Why are dick shots prohibited? There doesn’t seem to be any restrictions on cleverly cropped frontal shots, nude except for a hand cupping the crotch, nudes from every other angle, ball sacs, gay themes, gay kissing, overt sexuality, butt shots, or even closeup graphic images of various orifices. So why the no-no for dicks? It seems such a minor thing after everything else is posted, so why the restriction? Understand, I’m not criticizing, just curious. :) Thanks,Dave-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "omnisport" group.
