What's going on MyOpera...?
Tuesday, 30. June 2009, 21:31:46
I've been a member of Opera for several years, and a really proud member of this community.
But, let me say, something strange is going on in here.
A few months ago I found my page had been blocked and banned without absolutely any explanation or reason given from the administrators. I inmediately contacted them asking for those reasons. The answer was that I had several pics which were supposedly inconvenient for the site. The albums contained erotic and artistic nudes with no sexual or explicit content.
Now, all of you who had visited my page know that I am an admirer of beauty in all of its ways. Human body is one of my focus of atention. It doesn't matter if it is a male or female body, it is beautiful if it's trated artistically and with a sense of good taste. All of the albums in my page had a warning about the content, explaining that the content was artistic nudes. In no case they had porn material at all, since I really find that kind of expression absolutely disgusting and innaproppiate for a site like this. We can discuss the concept of art and maybe we won't agree, but we all know what porn is and that's clear for everyone. So, believe me that my albums did not contain porn at all and all photos were publicly available on different sites on the net.
After a few messages to administrators discussing the topic, we finally reach at an agreement and they gave me back "my" page. I had to erase those albums. Was that right? I don't know and I really don't care about now. As I told Aleksander, who was very kind to me indeed, I don't set the rules here.
But what happens now?
Every time I open MyOpera I see LOTS OF PORN AND EXPLICIT SEX PHOTOS DISPLAYED IN THE MAIN PAGE!!!! Just have a look at the Popular photos section or at the members sections and you'll confirm what I say. Of course I have reported this but all I got was a "You are not allowed to see this page" when I tried to see the page again to see what happened. Can you explain me what's going on in here? Has it gone out of control? Has this happened to me because of some discriminatory or homophobic feelings coming from people who have still not found their place in the world and all they have to do is to bother other people?
I know it must be difficult to administer a huge site like this, but would you be happy if you were in my shoes for a second? Surely not. I'm not complaining, I'm just asking for clear rules for everybody.
And the rules don't seem to be the same for all of us and intolerance seems to be spreading around us in spite of all our good efforts to build everyday a better world.
Finally, as I always say: Thank you MyOpera, this is still the best place to be when I sit in front of my computer.
