I know where @Porkchop is coming from. I've blasted it a dozen times to not post unless the chick has popped. I've seen profiles of real potential disappear days after a respost. It sucks, but its not a rule. Its more of a guideline. Banning on a first offense is silly. But it would be nice if people thought about it for a second.

The 2 major cons that I can think of are

Con A
Once you bring attention to a really attractive pregnancy, all sorts will flock. There are hundreds of lurkers on this board, hundreds of preggo "admiration" profiles and pages. Sometimes all it takes it posting/reposting it once to freak someone out. 

Just by mentioning that you found a quadruplet pregnancy is enough to lead anyone tech savvy enough to find it in minutes. I can guarantee we're not the only ones who already knew about her. Preggophilia is only half the battle though, most of these "creeps" already know what their doing and tag and repost countless of pregnancies. Everytime they do that, it notifies the women, who, lots of times, just change their username and stop tagging.

Con B
Not posting the END. 

I know some of you like the early stages or the whole progression. But I like the very end. I like seeing the limits get pushed. I DO like seeing the progression to get to the END, but its all about those final shots. How many times does a thread get buried and forgotten? How many girls did we only see to 36 weeks? How many pregnancies were spread all out over 3-4 pages of comments unnecessarily?

Half the battle is here, half of it is on instagram. You've already given 2 exemptions to the rule. Since this is a forum, some of our best threads are all of us getting hyped up for future content. And what about all the "Random" threads? Its always going to happen, and since some people are new, or just dont think bigger picture, its way to harsh to permaban anyone on a mistake. I vote Report to admin and just explain when you can.

As for multiple times of posting a half, near-end pregnancies, well...that just deserves death, obviously.

People like the quad woman are very popular. These days any smart woman can just delete and block what they dont like. They are more willing to listen to women. Heres your biggest problem wth banning anyone: they can sel us all out to news people. Why risk that? We all keep this site a secret. If you ban them or are mean to them then they take this site down. Just have a kid talk with them about whats fine to say to them and whats not. Simple as that

unfortunately there exists a relation between security and usability. adding more in one direction tends to decrease the other- we could lock the site down to nonmembers and make it invite-only; that's highly secure but not very usable, and the inverse is even more unacceptable. this is probably one of those situations where you can only take so much action to mitigate the risk but since this deals with people you'll never be able to complete eliminate it from happening.

I don't think posting after delivery is any less harmful to the woman. The real effort should be into anonymizing subjects: not using names (first or last), not linking to profiles of any kind, etc.; leaving them only as standalone pictures or videos. Instead of banning users for offenses, there should be heavier moderation of posts: mods editing or removing threads and comments that threaten the anonymity of a person.

(July 23, 2019, 11:52 pm)evokombat Who's to say that the creeps are even from this site? Why do damage control if you're going to end up posting her pictures here anyway? If they're not posting a direct link to her profile, then what's the problem of someone wanting to share a good picture or video before she pops? Having a rule this petty is honestly dumb imo.

Ive been saying that for the longest time. I dont understand the logic that 'we' did it here. Every time theres a huge preggo and she goes into hiding people on this site turn on each other, yelling at each other and everything as if someone here did it. No one has any proof of the allegation and it just snowballs until people stop speaking in the thread or the lady posts again. I never understood that. If you look at Youtube this very moment youll notice that some of the rather creepy people are already posting on some of the better ones. Go back to someone like Amy whom had two people speaking. One was in another language and posted on every single video she posted, sometimes multiple times. Another wouldnt stop asking somewhat intrusive questions. Every time she posted they were there. Are they from this site? Who knows but if they scared her away everyone on here would be yelling at each other. No one takes into consideration the fact that sometimes the lady may just be tired or busy. In Amys case she was very busy. It always has to be some sort of creepy person scared her off, someone messaged her, someone overstepped, do you not understand "Look and dont touch", and the arguments continue.

Even the debate about posting a link to the profile. I dont understand that either. So what if someone does? As I said most times the creepy people already know and are on the profile talking to the ladies. Often times we can actually see them posting before the mess hits the fan. What can we do? Nothing. Is arguing at each other the way people deal with the fact that they have no idea who did what? Because once that happens the thread is no longer worth going to and its really beginning to make everyone look bad. I knew of one preggo whom was huge that was online last year. I was in an InstaLive she did just watching her laugh and talk. There were but two people in the room. Myself and this other person. I have no idea whom she thought she was talking to because I never said a word. The other person wasnt listening to a word she said. They kept coming up with all sorts of reasons to try and ask for more pics and for her to do the Baby Mama Dance. Dont get me wrong, seeing that would have been epic but that isnt the point. The person said they were a photographer, they had a site, are there more pics, all sorts of things and after ignoring them for awhile she finally said they could take any from her page. Awhile later she addressed the Baby Mama Dance, turned the song on and did it for all of a minute. She greatly enjoyed herself and laughed the whole time but that isnt the point. This person literally harassed her for most of that time. Ill admit it was on and off. They might post a message every few minutes but when theyre the only person talking it was obvious that they were lying. The InstaLive was about fifty minutes long. Most of it was a waste of time from our perspectives here. AFAIK no one on this site even knew of her so who was this person? Thats what Im trying to say. We need to stop blaming each other when pregnant ladies are harassed because the fact is we dont know who did it nor how they found out. After the birth she went silent for a bit then came back totally deleting all of her pregnancy pics. Im not sure why she did that but she has a YouTube where she vlogs about other things so Im guessing thats why. In fact she did a YouTube Live a little later on where someone else asked her about the Baby Mama Dance and she shot that down in seconds. Only she knows why she shot it down without remembering how much fun she had on that InstaLive but that is her business. She shot it down and immediately changed the subject back to what she was discussing in her vlog. Now that I think of it in all of her vlogs on YouTube she would never really discuss her pregnancy. She was really large and shed make jest of it a few times but that would only be for a quick moment then shed get back to her topic. Yet her Insta was littered with nothing but pics of her showing off her pregnant body and she didnt want to do anything on there either. Her choice really. Im not sure what she was thinking but I dont think that person harassing her had anything to do with it. They were annoying in that InstaLive but that was it. It seems like she really just didnt want the focus on her belly and she wanted to vlog about other topics which she did almost daily on her YouTube. To this day she has very few subscribers and Im very sure that would have changed with that Baby Mama Dance but thats her business. We all know pregnant ladies dancing bring in tons of viewers and sometimes go viral but again thats her business and its her vlog so she can do what she wants. Thats what we need to remember about these ladies no matter what they do and no matter what people say to them. Its their page and their rules and its very doubtful that creepers talking to them bother them that much. Most of them just ignore them.

I agree that posting pictures or videos before they pop is a bad idea, but I don't really think it warrants an automatic ban. It sucks that the practice oftentimes leads to the louder members flocking to her pages and scaring her off, but at the end of the day, the louder members are at fault for that, not the poster. And we can't easily track them down to ban them, so why harshly punish someone who oftentimes is just excited to post a new goldmine and doesn't know the unspoken rules?

And to your point @McKormick : Come on. If a bunch of perverts get the links to a sexy woman's pages, OF COURSE at least a few of them are going to leave suspicious or outright perverted comments. Its just common sense.

Something has to be done whether it is banning people, blocking their posting rights or anything else. Because in my opinion the "newbie" argument is starting to be very hollow cause no matter how many times we say do not post "prematurely" it still happens and after each time you´ll get "but am new here and i don´t know the rules".

Not necessarily, the majority in the poll believed in some way of banning over doing nothing

Soooo... of course, I announce just days ago that I was going to post a fantastic quadruplet pregger AFTER she delivers and guess what.... someone posts this wonderful pregger beforehand!!
Yes, she posted in her last entry that she was headed the hospital to deliver but often they'll post A FEW LAST PHOTO's before going to the delivery room!
But now... this is in jeopardy once again!
I just couldn't be more frustrated!!
