Dear Admin,

I would like to appeal against an infraction given to me.

Dear crimsontactics,

You have received an infraction at www.hardwarezone.com.sg.

Reason: Posting/Sharing Indecent/Pornographic or related materials
-------
Posting/Sharing Indecent/Pornographic or related materials

There is nothing indecent about this picture. I'm sure that if the girl in the picture were to wear the same attire out in the public, she won't be arrested for indecency. Go to any beach in SG and you will find people wearing more provocative outfits. As such, I don't think I should be infracted for sharing such a picture.

This is SG, not Afghanistan. We should have a more reasonable standard for
decency.

Seeking your assistance in getting my infraction reversed. Thank you.

I can't seem to locate your original thread. (Edit, found it.)

But let's focus on this image.
Don't you think it's a suggestive action and it's also rather revealing?

That's the main reason I believe the mod infracted you.

Let's be reasonable about this.
What you posted is a tad too racy.
In comparison, this is okay and that's what you expect at a beach:-

Thank you very much for your reply at such a late hour.

No, I don't find it overly revealing that it breaks the forum guidelines.

Showing cleavages had been a fashion trend and many people are doing it publicly.

Like I've mentioned before, I'm very confident that if that very girl was to wear that very outfit in public in SG, she won't be arrested for public indecency.

As such, I believe that I should not be infracted for posting this picture.

Hey crimsontactics,

No prob. I just happened to be around.
And I would like to clarify matters to the best of my understanding.

Okay, I think we're both seeing this image very differently.

What she's wearing is very normal.

What's she's doing, is however a different matter altogether.
That and what you can see - it's not just cleavage (which, by the way, is a little more than usual).

Hope you understand our point of view.

Even if the moderator didn't chance by this, it's quite certain someone will report this later and cite reasons of this not being suitable, yada yada, and we'll have to remove this.

Thank you very much for your reply at such a late hour.

You might also have questions why sometimes some content get to stay and some don't.

Again, it boils down to the source, thread purpose, and other subtle attributes. That and if someone has reported on the issue or if the mod has come across it.

We're not actively moderating the board, but we're more focussed on facilitating the board. Hence the supposed unevenness in moderation for a fast moving board like EDMW, but it's a necessary middle ground for the current rules and moderation.

Understood. Thanks for taking the time for the explanation.
