I just find it ironic that on a board where so many of us are so vehemently against body shaming, and just about any other kind of shaming (which is great), that this is such an issue.
Go ahead and GIF me to the end of the earth, but if you are at work and it could be a problem then maybe you shouldn't be bumping anyway--since you never know what you might accidentally "scroll across". Not hating on anyone who bumps at work, because that is what I am doing now
Maybe it's time to vote again regarding our "rule" on this---since most of us don't have the "offensive" bloat anymore.
I think we have mostly all agreed that bare bellies aren't the issue and as a forum filled with working women we usually try to keep things work appropriate.
I'm sure we all agree that bare bellies in gym top and yoga pants are okay, bare bellies in your lacy bra and thong underwear is probably not okay. A lot of these mama's work and it's just NSFW for them to be scrolling and unexpectedly see that. It's not that bare bellies aren't beautiful, they ALL ARE! whether you have love lines or not! it's about being aware of the community here and respecting that some members here need the discretion. That is all. Now let's get back to your regularly scheduled beautiful HDBD pics!!
This. Personally, I don't mind bare belly pics. The point is, not everyone likes them (or they're just NSFW) so we need to have respect for the community as a whole. What is so hard about taking a picture with a shirt on?
FFS. I'm not telling you haggard trolls how to respond but if you ignore the posts that are only intended to poke fun or get you wound up they'll stop.
Seriously, EVERYONE saw yesterday's shit show, does it need to keep happening?
Not trying to start drama, just poking fun! I would just like to point out that this board is open to anyone who clicks on the link. It's not private, and it's not exclusive. Last time I checked, participating on a board isn't automatically trolling. Maybe I'm wrong. Can I get a mod? @jennlin
Yeah that's what you're doing.
Participating.
Like I said, others have tried what you're doing, it didn't work out for them. They were warned.
You want to take a swing, be my guest.
But one thing you ladies might want to think about is the fact that this is @vargusgirl 's board. And you all aren't helping her. You're hurting her. I know trying to engage in that kind of mental exercise is like a 400lb man doing crossfit for the first time for you but think it through. No one gives a rats ass about what's her face the other one but your actions right now are potentially going to have consequences for someone here you're claiming to support. She's said she wants it to drop. If you want to disrespect her wishes, by all means. You only make my point.
Whoa whoa whoa there...
Anybody can do CrossFit, mmkay? Get it straight girl.
For the love, @etoille. THANK YOU FOR THE ELEVENTY WARNINGS ABOUT YOUR INTERPRETATION OF TROLLING. We get it. I am pretty sure the amount of fucks any of us gives is at a negative level right now. We stand so warned.

@kellbell1982 I absolutely understand that point, I'm just not personally affected by it since I wouldn't be looking at the forum when anyone could really see it anyway. Also I am cool with leaving my own shirt down---just saying that I'm not going to shame someone who decides to pull their shirt up Anyway, can't wait to see some more HDBD pics and post mine once these hooligans are gone for the day...I feel like I'm starting to have my first decent pop and couldn't be more excited!!
It's somethin we all agreed on especially during the time when mostly everyone just had bloat and nobody wants to see that shit. Thanks for calling our voted on rules dumb though maybe try walking into an establishment and yelling that their rules are stupid that's pretty much what you are doing
Um no it was definitely mentioned that people don't want to see gross lacy bra 'bloat'
This goes back to early days when we were like five mins pregnant and showing bare food bellies was frowned upon for good reason. I thought you said you weren't here to start drama and I actually somewhat started to believe that but now here we go again. Obviously you are loved on your other board, why not post your boudoir pics there?
Guys, please. O13 coming in and posting some gifs does not equal trolling. Not at all. If it makes you feel better I'll go over to O13 and post a gif.
Please hold.
Oh completely concur on that. Heh we'd be hypocrites ourselves if that was what folks were riled up about.
But it's pretty clear what the intent is here - as our own mods have said folks just want to be part of the show at this point in poking people around here. Which hey no issue, as long as they're ok with having their actions reviewed for intent.
Hold up. I have no idea what went on around here yesterday. @vargasgurl is a member of O13 and was laughing to us about her 'too hot for TB' HDBD pic, so the gang headed over to see what's up. That's the truth. But if y'all are repeatedly having problems with other boards (I guess?), maybe look around and see that the common denominator is you.
I love all the bumps! (Minus a couple of obvious exceptions) It's pretty pathetic that some people's lives are so boring they have to go trolling other boards, you'd think they'd have something better to do. Sad really.
No shit. I have too much of a real life to completely keep up with one BMB....3+ no thank you
Since when does being the op of a thread that we do EVERY Wednesday make you the decider of all that goes down here? WE decided in the beginning way before you were op of one week that bare bellies were a no simply because no one wanted to see a non baby bloated belly. It has nothing to do with Vargas girl who I really thought posted a nice pic but more to do with shit like stargirl posted, even in an attempt at humor we don't want to see it.
The suggestion that nobody wants to see bloated "non baby" bellies is ridiculously rude and offensive. And not true. I am happy to see all the bare bellies, bloated or babies or not. The NSFW thing is more valid but come on, on every other bmb I've ever been on ppl have posted bare bellies and I just am careful about where I am when I'm browsing those threads. And any threads, really, since weird gifs can pop up anywhere.

So you discovered the quote button? If you want to make a mockery of our board no one can stop you, I'm just confused as to why you'd want to? I get that you posted the pic jokingly however if the general consensus is that lingerie or nude pics aren't appropriate or welcome why push the issue?
Fully knowing all of the bullshit that has gone down here in the last 4 days and how sick and fucking tired people on M15 are with dealing with stupid drama......went back to O13 for reinforcements when people VERY POLITELY asked her to observe a preference?
I see.
Like I said, y'all ain't helpin your girl out. Like at all. If you actually like her I'd consider leaving.
No, girl. Read for comprehension. I said she was LAUGHING to us about the situation and we took it upon ourselves to come check it out. If your group would seriously treat her any differently over this ridiculously trivial post, that's on you.

She's asked that it be dropped.
Why don't you respect her?
Do you all secretly not like her or something?
Because the discussion for the last 3 pages has been regarding whether or not we are trolling, which we aren't. I like her fine, but I'm not gonna sit around and let anybody tell me where I can and can't post within the TOU.
Oh look, people who don't go here with nothing better to do posting about how much our board sucks. What else is new.

You guys have a really odd way of interpreting some amusing pictures of bellies. Like, really odd.

Someone else can go back and quote all the grievances with why the "no belly" thing started on this particular board to begin with. Post all the pictures you want. I'm at home so there's no such thing as NSFW for me but I can respect the other ladies who can't be opening threads with pics of ladies in their bras and underwear.
I'll state for the record I don't care about bare pregnant bellies. It's just when people are basically naked otherwise it becomes non-internet appropriate. Pretty sure neither me or my H would be thrilled with pics of me in my bra and panties, pregnant or otherwise, out on the interwebs. Especially with the creeper shit going on on TTGP lately I want no part of that.

Enjoy my BARE bump!
Hahaha, look at you trying so hard.
M15, we're going to have copycats who think they are hilarious trying to start another mess (sooper original guise).
Just ignore it. They'll get tired and chew on another board's shoes for attention when they get bored.

You also have some awful ones.
