You don´t know Ronaldo, the guy on that photo!? Oh, I´m sorry, I forgot footballers (and hubs about them) also get in the way of your hubs . But you have to admit he has great legs .

lol

You can add football to the list.

Can't argue - great legs.

Go find another place if you don't want your kids to see anything like that.

As far as I'm concerned this is a place to share expertise and encourage or invite other people into new aspects of life and new and enriched ideas.

It's not the place to show off the cruder part of life in a manner that in fact doesn't help anyone in any form.

As far as I am concerned (and I believe most veterans are on the same page), this is the place to do many things, including all those that you mentioned - and this variety of things gives the place its beauty.

I'm going to add more good solid content to that hub in the hope of getting good search engine placement.

And then drop the hammer on them right at the end.

A lot of people have complained about the girlie photos and other questionable subjects. I think we can help the overall quality of HubPages by only selecting fans-- and giving thumbs up-- to the hubs that we find to be quality in content and writing.

The flip side is to not click or comment on others. I assume the administrators want to see flags so they can review questionable posts.

Of course ,you may need to actually read a  questionable hub before you decide-- but some, even by title and photo, are obviously below the standards we would set for ourselves.

Hope this doesn't sound prudish-- I think everything has its place, but the place may not be here.

Full circle here--- for a thread that has gone all over the barnyard. I had no idea that starting a thread  expressing a rather benign viewpoint would have this effect. You may notice that I did not recommend that anyone be banned or blacklisted--  leave this to the moderators. ( You will notice that I only said " the place MAY not be here".)
My  main point-- apparently not well expressed -- was that the whole site improves when we give POSITIVE notice and feedback to good content and postings.
"Good" will mean different things to different people. I expressed my opinion of things I would rather-- or rather not-- see. Everyone can do that, either by expressing positive or negative opinions.
Just my opinion. :-)

Misha, why do you want to drive away new hubbers in defense of the lowest quality hubs on hubpages?  I don't get it.

Frankly Amy Jane..I find your photo very sexy....so should you take it down to accomodate your own standards?    the point being that no one can define what is too sexy and what is not...aside from obvious nudity.  You people are all so close-minded and simple. I hope Hubpages does not actually listen to your evangelistic pretensions of self-righteousness.

Frankly Gloria Cook...I don't know you...or why you feel the need to attack me personally by calling me simple, close-minded and evangelical. You don't know me, you did not read the entire thread (you quoted my very first comment), missed the point I personally was making and perhaps you have some issues of your own to deal with.

RELAX!  This thread died a long time ago. You can continue to call me names if you like, but I don't see what you are hoping to accomplish.
And I am really very sweet, as any of my friends here would be happy to tell you.

I agree with you Amy Jane.  I think some people come to forums in general and are bored, so they like to stir the pot.  I suggest all those who like to make personal attacks to stop and rethink your judgemental words.  Write your own hubs and focus on you, but do not bring your negative thoughts to this forum.

Amy and Gloria,
I like you both, and I am a fan of you both - as well as you both are fans of myself I believe. Can't you do me a favor and bury this argument? Please? Just for me?

Get a grip, Gloria!  Personal attacks have no place in forum discussions. Amy is a respected member of the Hubpages community who contributes thoughtful original content--as evidenced by her hubscore.  Her photo is perfectly appropriate. She just happens to be drop dead gorgeous which I guess is what your problem is-- you're jealous

Let's all try to keep civil tongues in our heads eh?

Robie,
Nobody called Amy's avatar inappropriate. Or does sexy=inappropriate on your books?

I stand corrected, Misha   Gloria was suggesting that Amy was being hypocritical and that was what I was addressing.

Amy misinterpreted me, Gloria misinterpreted Amy... Let's just let it go There is no benefit in continuing argument in this direction...

This thread should have ended 200 posts ago.

I wish Maddie would close it.

She will eventually, no doubt
