Re: what are the rules regarding homenode image, what is inappropriate?

in reply to what are the rules regarding homenode image, what is inappropriate?

Hummm. I suspect that if you have a question about the appropriateness, it maybe isn't appropriate.

On the other hand, it seems that these days almost anything will be objectionable to someone. (I suspect that if I were to post a image of a blank piece of paper, I'd get flack about it.)

I suppose that the only way to test the appropriateness is to post the image and see who salutes. Or throws tomatoes.

A reason for discouraging inappropriate user images is avoiding legal jeopardy. At least in the U.S., being explicit about what is allowed or not allowed can be a way to increase legal jeopardy. If I were a policy maker, I would duck this question.	[reply]

... legal jeopardy ... In what way is this important? See Re^2: How should Perlmonks deal with Plagiarism? (legalese) and Linking to Copyrighted Materials Its one thing to consider something inappropriate/unethical, its another thing to enforce/police such things (jeopardy)	[reply]

As most of us don’t live in religious oligarchies but secular states which protect all but threatening or libelous/slanderous (when non-satirical) speech, it’s acceptable. Good taste is another matter all together. GOOD TASTE IS ANOTHER MATTER. What’s the matter, don’t you get it? :P	[reply]
