META: no more sexybits, please
Persons of MGoBlog:
Y'all gotta cut it out with the barely PG-13 bewbs stuff. (And for the rare times a woman has intrepidly posted BEEFCAKE in a thread, that too.) I've never liked it much because I think it can be offputting to women, but it wasn't something I wanted to police.
That's got to change, as Google is now actively scanning for that kind of stuff and sending me emails like so:
-----------------------------------------------------------

Obviously losing adsense would be a very bad thing for the viability of this site, so Kate Upton's gotta go. In the future we're going to be deleting this stuff on sight; persistent violators will get docked points.

Of all the disapproving emails you could get today, I didn't think it'd be of this variety, Brian.
That being said, there's a picture of a giant ass on the frontpage right now.

Well played, sir. +1 ... and touche.
February 18th, 2015 at 9:39 PM ^
tee hee
February 18th, 2015 at 9:40 PM ^
In full support.

to be able to describe the obscenities of SEC recruiting but not show the beauty of (um, say, for example) Kate Upton. Something's effed up here, but I understand and respect Brian's request.
Not that I ever post stuff like that anyway, but I'm pretty good with it when others do.
February 18th, 2015 at 9:41 PM ^
but given that I'm bombarded on this site with Asian/Russian/mature dating ads, I'm confused. Indeed, there was one memorable ad that was later described by others in a post that was WAY better than some of the stuff they're complainin' about, I'm doubly confused.
No skin off my nose, just amused.

You must hit some nasty chicks if that's how you wash it off.

In Google's world, only Google may Porn. All your porn are belong to Sergei and company.

This is the worst news I've had all day. Where else am I going to find hawt Kate Upton pics? Google?
Oh. Right. Google works.

And what about Carlos?

Man that hurts. I'm going to have a hard time sleeping tonight knowing that the 2 inch avatar of wife has somehow lessened your 38 days here on the site.
But that's why God made Ambien right?
February 18th, 2015 at 10:28 PM ^
but if that's what you call 2 inches.... the jokes write themselves.
February 18th, 2015 at 10:30 PM ^
very pretty (obviously) and when he shared how they got together and married, sounds like she has a heart of gold.
February 18th, 2015 at 10:46 PM ^
I'm sure she's a fine lady, but if getting rid of the avatar also reduces the frequency of her husbands humblebragging, I won't be sorry to see her go....

People have a point about that, to say the least.

This is it. Mgoblog is finally growing up. Time to settle down, stop chasing sexy girl blogs as pieces of meat, and find a nice cooking, or fashion blog to settle down with, and start having little baby/mommy blogs...
February 18th, 2015 at 9:47 PM ^
February 18th, 2015 at 9:57 PM ^
Nope.
February 19th, 2015 at 10:53 AM ^
for the excellent info. I had adblocker turned on universally - Had no idea this might deprive mgoblog of income. This has been remedied.

but I turn it off for the blog.

Although I've gotten good at avoiding the landlines on the mgoboard it'll be nice to not have to worry about it as much.
In all honestly it has seemed to be a vocal minority that has kept feigning outrage/censorship whenever the occasional Stephen R. Kass dares to request that people cool it with the pictures of scantily clad women.

Brian is on fire today.
