So, is wearing a bikini outlawed, now? Is this a rule on the MFP boards? Because if so, we've got a problem with bikinis, now.

Anybody want to clarify? I'd appreciate it because I don't want to break any terms or conditions or services or whatnot. Does my profile picture look like I am in underwear? Maybe this was a mistake.



EDIT:: I've messaged Steven. Hopefully he will reply within 48 hours, because I worked hard for this profile picture and don't agree with taking it down. D:

    Hm. Not too sure what's wrong with your current pic. Reply to the message and ask.....it fits inside the allowable images rule.

    I did but I have no idea if they'll reply to me in that sense. I was hoping a moderator would reply to this topic and explain it for me. Can I play dumb blonde in this scenario?

    I don't see anything wrong with any of your pictures? Maybe someone reported you or something.

    ^^^ this is what I am thinking. I also am pretty sure they do not monitor peoples accounts unless it is reported.

    I do not see anything wrong with your picture and see way more reveling pictures one here. So someone either has a stick up their butt or is jealous of those tig old bitties of yours :)

    Ya I have received that too. For a bikini pic. I love the whole "if you can't wear it to work it's not appropriate" crap. What if I work at the beach? Pool? Strip club?? Ridiculous. We're all freaking adults here.

    I just read through the terms and I don't see where it mentions anything about a profile picture. It says you can't have more than one profile, but that's all I could find. If they respond back, please have them show you where in the terms that it says you can't have a profile picture of yourself in a bikini.

    Oh and they deleted mine for me! Which pissed me off because I don't like to use face pics as my main for privacy reasons and it defaulted a face pic for my main pic. :angry:

    Well I want to see the rule in writing.The word "picture" doesn't even appear in the terms of use at all. :explode:

    He is cool. He's not answering mail in the last few hours, though, so give it some time. You may have this post deleted due to the guideline about not quiestioning moderation in the forums, but at least he will answer you.

    The person who messaged her isn't on that list. And doesn't have any posts.

    The person from MFP who saw you in this pic is obviously jealous and wants to look good as you :)

    I've seen MUCH worse on here. You look fine to me.

    Someone reported one of my friends yesterday for vulgarity and sexual content or whatever it is for a thread that was most definitely not those things.

    Maybe someone is running around randomly reporting people for the fun of it and they're not actually checking into it.
