You're right... not everyone is on this forum.. but I think the debate (while annoying to the regulars) helps new people understand something that no one can deny is an issue. It's an important issue too. Otherwise it would have died off a long time ago. And even though the odds of people finding you on the internet are slim there is proof out there of people being fired from jobs for things found on the internet. I'm sorry but I don't buy the "get out of the way" if you don't want to be in the picture. If I'm going to take a picture I need to be the one that's responsible not all the people around me.
ok.. lets call this a draw then and say that both parties the one taking and the one that might not want to be in it take responsibility. I dont think that its all one sided..I think that it is my responsibility to get out of the way if someone next to me is taking a group picture. I do agree with other posts that get worked up over the creepy guy hiding with a big photo lens..i believe there is a difference..thats just creepy.. but most of the pic that I have seen on facebook or where ever with people in the back ground, you cant really make out who they are.. unless its you in the background and the average person there isnt taking pictures to publish them.. soo lets get the creepy guys.. and let the rest of us take pictures..
We were at Hedonism a couple of years ago, they have 3 pools there and one is a nude pool with a No Camera rule, I have several hundred pictures of me, my wife, people we met there , the beach etc etc but none of any nude people and we were fine with that...Temptations has more than one pool and the no camera rule at the sexy pool during games or certain hours could be easily enforced, other places do it and it works. Yes your all right, this subject has been beaten to death, so lets work to change it, add your 2 cents to the comment cards at check out !!!!
Ok... its a draw.. *L* my biggest thing has always been that ever since the camera rules have relaxed at TR participation in a lot of activities has gone down. Anything Goes was taken completely off the list of events because spectators wouldn't participate and took pics and video of people who did. NTVB is hit or miss.. the last time I, Chinos and others had to repeatedly yell at one woman that wouldn't shut off her camera. lingerie night, body shots by the pool, and pretty much any of the other games by the pool have limited participation because the cameras come out and scare people away. I've seen what it's like when the majority of people participated and it was off the hook fun. On the last few trips I've hear many people talk about how they would participate more if there weren't so many cameras.

Chino and the rest of the team are only there as long as these games are welcomed. sooo... damn,, does that come back to a camera ban during these time?..dont see any other way.. Good thing I am not on the debate team huh?...hahah!!
Jiimmmm!!!! hahaha!! well... sad but true.. I couldn't talk my way out of a wet paper bag!.. but...maybe I have other talents or powers of persuation.. :wink3: thats 2 I owe you now.. keep it up and I won't share my burger
I was going to leave this one alone, but since my thoughts have changed since my recent visit, I figured what the hell! This year I didn't take any picture in the pool at all or during any games, I still ended up with 1200 picture is our group. I use to be against banning cameras at the sexy pool but with so many guys with cameras under towels, telescope lenses and guys walking around taking videos I'd have to say I wouldn't care. I was still able to get lot of pictures for memories. There were days Melissa wouldn't even take her top off because of these guys nor would she play tequila volleyball. Those of you that know us know we are pretty wild but the "creeps" made it alittle more uncomfortable. So if banning cameras during certain times and places would get people more involved in the games then I support it not an all out ban.
Well said !!! Now I say AREMAC.... maybe that will make it stop for those that don't know what that means.. have you ever had a song going on and on through your head and it just won't stop, well the cure is to sing it backwards... cancelled... so there you go... I find that we can bitch complain all we want, two points of view... I will also be taking my c$#@ra with me. :mnm:
