Vintage sex wank.
The vintage_sex community on LiveJournal is a popular place to get pictures of really old boobies. Community policy is to put hardcore pictures behind an lj-cut; softcore pics can be put out in the open.

Not that everyone is happy about this. During the community's existence, there have been many flamewars over whether or not to put pictures behind an lj-cut. There's the "use filters, dumbasses" camp, and there's the "filters are a pain, and YOU'RE the dumbasses" camp. There hasn't been a wank about it in a while, though, since the mods got fed up.

A new member, angiecita, unaware of this history, innocently stumbles in:

I adore all the loverly pictures of nakie ladies, but I work in a lab and share an office with some people. Can I request that people put the pics behind cuts so I don't constantly have boobies on my computer screen?
She's told about filters, and to her credit, seems to accept that solution, but it's too late to stop the wank. In particular, a user named styggie seems peeved beyond the point of logic:
And let me point out something to you all who read lj at work. There are computers that log every single url your view from work to monitor what workers are doing in all companies that have IT departments. So i suggest instead of complaining about boobies on your screen, you realise that your more likely to be fired because youre viewing something with SEX in the url.
Styggie is all over the entry. It's worth seeing.

(I've saved the wank so far in case it's deleted by the mods.)

EDIT: vintage_sex's mod has been contacted by LJ Abuse regarding underage members in the community. The community will now be members-only and only people who have a listed age of over 18 in their user info will be allowed to remain members. Does this have something to do styggie noticing that a commenter is under 18 during the wank? You be the judge.

or you could do work instead of bumming around on livejournal.

Right. Because everyone works slavishly for eight and a half hours when they're at work. Nobody takes all day five minutes to browse their friends list during the day.

And I love how a zillion people respond to the mod that they're not going to add their age to their user info and can she just take their words for it that they're over eighteen? Because, you know, LJ isn't going to just run an automated scan over the user info when they go to check that the mod's done her job. My favorite part is the people saying how easy it is to lie about your age and bitching in the same post about how they don't want to reveal their true age. OMG, if I post my age on my userinfo ppl won't respect/want/like me!!!! Must resist impulse to post fake date for fear of Internet Police!

You can lie on your user info as well, you know - it's not as though LiveJournal requires your driver's license to join. It's all for legal protection; if you lie, hey, that's not really the mods being negligent.

I removed the age from my userinfo for a while after stumbling across the scariest request evar. Dear god, that was almost two years ago, but I still remember it :)

And what an immensly dumb thing to bring down so much work to the poor mod for.

I like how many of them are refusing to put their age in their userinfo but appear to think that the owner of the comm will have no problems if they just say they're 'over the legal age' in their reply post.

And i love this quote:
This sucks cock in a sloppy and unskilled manner.

'Really old boobies'. What an evil phrase, bringing to mind all sorts of bad. Congratulations!
