Just when you thought the HubPages staff couldn't be any more clueless
ROFLMAO, no way, this is actually really really hilarious
lol, it kind of is. But seriously, well, I can't find the words...
The pic (below) has also been classed as being porno
<image removed>
I can understand that with a very warped mind, within a different context, somebody somewhere could find that sexually arousing. But please... lolNow I so want to know what the picture was
Looks like you 'got the snip' Cags
I can understand the picture, even in the context of the hub and why they look at it that way.
The hub is still published, correct? I accessed it through Google Search. So, I am not sure what the problem is, except for the picture.
I read the comments and each of them are not shocking, considering the contents of the hub.
It certainly did fail. The hub started out as something humorous, and then under its own steam turned into a forum for people to discuss health issues amongst themselves. So to seemingly be accused of playing host to kiddy porn literature, came across as extremely offensive.
And I've never seen it posted anywhere that visitors/commentors have to be 18+?
If that is indeed the case, and not yet another rule made up on the spot, perhaps you should think of adding one of these to every page.
On this part of the world, we see an american girl, europian girl, in general caucasial girls (on the same ad spots). LOL, I think now I know what Google says about GeoTargeting ads.
Mark Ewbie likes sheep... he is a ew - be after clicking on one of my adsense links 'beautiful ew-be-sheep are barring at you at match.com'.
Let's hope he hasn't snuck off to the toilet, to treat himself.
They won't let him back into the office should they rumble him.
You're right though. Definite FAIL.lol, that cheered me up a bit. Thanks.
But still, there's no use fighting it.
It's probably time to skip off down that same highway most every other hubber has left by.I totally agree. But as you can tell this really gets my goat. Because it's nonsense, hypocritical, crap! And you watch, tomorrow the picture I featured above will still be allowed, and with ads- and I'll have five or six hubs blacklisted without ads.
Yeah, it's subjective alright.
The only thing to do is laugh!
Glad I could cheer you up though!
Happy Rapture's EveIt bugs me big time too.
I'm starting to believe these 'conspiracy' theories. And I wouldn't be surprised at all to find that you've had a whole bunch of hubs unpublished/disabled by tomorrow. But of course, they'll have a good concrete reason for it.
I regret the day I signed up to HP, and regret even more, that I suckered some others into joining up under me along the way. Poor Bas***ds.
Happy Rapture to you also.
See you in the funny papers.
Dunno about Paul Deeds, but Paul Edmondson is seeking things that he can barbecue "low and slow"
http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/75639
I thought it would be in bad taste to suggest Hubbers.
Many of whom are being barbecued low and slow at this very moment.
lol, I did try. The hub in question was packed full of advice given by passing mums, doctors, etc. But unfortunately HP in their infinite wisdom decided that it's far better to let the poor sods suffer in silence. Just in case somebody somewhere was getting off over it.
Itchy balls are a big no-no. Because it's sexual.
But you can have STD's, vibrators for men, and novelty condoms up the hoo-ha. Some even with jokey comments left on them by staff members.
Ah well.That's different!
I'm not sure whether or not to laugh or be saddened. But, I'll take laughter since it's more funny than sad.
I'm torn between the two myself. I'll settle for complete disbelief.
I think they've been handing out free clown shoes at HP HQ.If you mean have they unpublished my most trafficked hub, and the first one I ever wrote here, that's had hundreds of thousands of visits, and hundreds of comments. Simply because some pimply little teen somewhere was worried the reason his tackle was itchy, might be because he'd been playing with it a little too much. Then yes.
I guess I would delete the comment and be on my way.
But, still funny though.
I was intrigued to read your Hub in its entirety, but sounds like that isn't going to be possible. Never mind
You gave me a good laugh regardless Well, over 160,000 visitors apparently got a laugh out of it. With many thanking me for making them not feel so alone. So I'm glad you got a laugh too. If not from the hub, but from this thread.
It's a shame though, that HP staff only seem to be able to see in black and white.
I guess many things are subjective. Depends who reads them, their perspective. I'm supposing that on sites like this (and from Google's POV in relation to their advertisers) that the 'better safe than sorry' attitude is the safest approach?
I remember RK Henry well.
@ Mr Voodoo - the warning wouldn't work I imagine. No way of policing a reader's age. Heck I've bumped into many underage hubbers the last couple of years, and I know it states an age limit of 18 on sign-up.
Besides - what happens when you tell a teenager 'no!'?Good point...
But here is a little picture for thought,
This is from a hubpages' favorite hubber. I often use this hub, as a reminder that favoritism is very much alive and well amongst the staffers, and that quite of few of these staffers are quite hypocritical with there postings and bannings.
Now granted this is a pregnancy hub. One of those "health issue" hubs, if you get my drift. Now how in the heck is this expectable, and Mr. MV's not?
Seriously, the doll is featuring bright red tits and public hair! But.........., as they say it's subjective.
It's BS, is what it is.Exactly. But if you're going to claim that this is a site for over 18's only. With a straight face. Surely some minimal amount of effort or warning should have been made.
It isn't a site for over 18's at all. You just have to be over 18 to write here.
Anyways, I'm off to bed. But I'm standing by my 'clueless' statement. Ridiculous.
Hey, FD.
Unfortunately, this was human moderated.
p.s. I'll pen you back a mail, once I've calmed down a little.No earthquakes here in San Francisco yet, but tomorrow is still six hours away
I'm off to ask questions about masturbation on every www. hub I can find!
Ah but it doesn't say you can get comments about anything you want.
You're mistaken. HP is making plenty of money from adult products:
http://hubpages.com/hub/Why-a-Vibrator- … than-a-Man
http://hubpages.com/hub/Condoms-For-all-Occasions
I didn't even delve very far in to find these. They were both on the hottest hubs list.
Oh look, there's Ryan Hupfer, previous HP spokesman, and Paul Deeds dad, in the comments,See........ contradiction after contradiction. They are completely full of themselves. Favoritism and incompetence at its finest.
Still here then. I thought you'd have been banned by now.
^ Totally.
Luckily I've found some new places to write now. On top of my own sites. The similarity between HP, Mao, and the Nazi's was drawn earlier in this thread. And who wants to be associated with that...
At least the Rapture didn't get us though. One positive.
Sweet dreams.Nope, not banned as of yet. But they did take one of my accolades away. I guess I no longer contribute insightful comments in the forums anymore.
See how they work..... Their actions are spreading through out HubPages, and pretty soon it's going to be the kiss of death for this company. Why take an accolade from me? A hubber who has two accounts here, (IEsMedical) over 400 fans between the two, and 120 published hubs. I'm the perfect hubber for them. I make a little money for them, I'm careful to produce quality material and I am a strong supporter of my fellow hubbers and community. My traffic hasn't really dropped, and I've never really had to rely on HubPages traffic to get me by. My traffic comes directly from Google, Bing, and Yahoo. Ideal. Until that is- I started to allow my fingers to do some talking. Ironic.
Instead of responding in such a negative manner, a good business mind would have chosen a more wiser and business savoy path. Such as sending me a thank you letter for making them away aware of some internal staffing problems, which they seriously need to fix!
However...... they did not.Oh God!
Dont be a fool my friend, your life and works depends on those accolades. To lose one is like losing a limb.
I wonder how you are going to make up for a lost one.
Perhaps you can find a replacement, or, grow another one?
Warm RegardsOh Sun- I've lost that one before. It's how they operate.
But it is not good business sense to keep "ticking off" decent, veteran hubbers. All of us are the real back bone of this site.
And, quite frankly we all know what happens to humans when their spine breaks. A company is just like a human. It needs to be nurtured and fed. Not reprimanded for caring.
But it is what it is....- You give great sarcasm, SunSeven.

Oh that was sarcasm? That went right over my head.
