Not that this is my opinion on the graphic photos being posted specifically on scubaboard and under the TOS that is currently effect.
This forum has a stated PG rating requirement, meaning the content should be suitable for pre-teens.
Dead people with froth and blood all over their face is NOT something pre-teens need to find on a scuba forum.
Granted they can find it elsewhere on the internet, but we dont really need to make it readilly available to them.
This is NOT an opinion based on me being grossed out by the pictures myself, as Ive seen far worse both in photos and in "real life", but I just dont think pre-teens (which once again, scubaboard is by its TOS supposed to be suitable for) will take what we as adults take from those photos.
Its not like smokers stop smoking from the absolutely obnoxious autopsy photos posted on cigarette packs in many countries in the world either..
