If a doll is reported to appear under the age of 18, mostly the post will be put out of public view and the images will be discussed by staff. Normally it takes one or two days for staff to decide. It's never the decision of a single member of staff, it's a team decision, but no need to be afraid that we can't get to a decision. If there was such a case earlier this month, that was an exception.JunkGuy wrote:If there's any member who feels a particular doll looks underage and reports it in good faith, it should be treated with utmost sincerity by the staff. Discussions on this matter don't need to be sequestored and it sure as hell shouldn't take two friggin weeks for staff to mull over a decision. To protect the forum, the process needs to be faster if borderline. I'm ok with a single staff member deciding a doll is underage and removing a post, but a single staff member should not have power to decide a doll is not underage on their own. Such a decision needs to go to committee and the post needs to be quarantined until committee makes a ruling. It can't just sit out there for the rest of the world to see becuase staff member B doesn't wish to overrule staff member A's unilateral decision. That's risk we don't need. (And yes, this scenario actually played out here this month, January 2018, and may have been the impetus to this whole discussion.)
If it's decided that the doll appears to be an adult, all is restored.
