Forum shopping typically describes someone going from forum to forum trying to get a different decision on some particular thing they want. In this case, I don't think privatemusings is looking for a specific outcome (like deleting an image, achieving a block, influencing an AfD, etc.). The object is, and has been, to raise awareness of this as a significant issue.
The general subject was discussed recently in more detail on Jimmy's en.wp talkpage. That discussion can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jimbo_Wales/Archive_43#BLP_and_images. Some other things addressed in that section are userspace galleries of explicit images under headings like "hot" "admiration of the female form" etc. Nathan On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 7:30 PM, Thomas Dalton <thomas.dal...@gmail.com>wrote: > 2009/1/30 Nathan <nawr...@gmail.com>: > > Sam - I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure privatemusings has as much > right > > as you or anyone else to post to this list.
