So far this image has had over 370 page views. As we post negative opinions about it, it goes to the top of the IotD forum and remains a repetitively viewed thread, as people return to read posts and see what all the discussion is about.

Much of the discussion in this thread concerns whether this image is even appropriate for Image of the Day. Sad thing is, the more inappropriate an image is and the more posts debating it's purpose in the Cellar, the more page views the thread gets by our Guests and the longer it remains a topic for discussion.

We've had discussion about a rating system that would allow members to weigh-in and rate a thread off the Cellar ... but until that is implemented the majority of the members and guests are at the mercy of individual members who can post whatever, and the administrator who has the only power to remove any inappropriate content.

It's not only that our community risks losing some good members, quitting in disgust, we risk attracting those who think crap like this is worth their time and attention.
