Tim Starling <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #10 from Tim Starling <[email protected]> 2009-06-10 04:44:40 UTC --- The name is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the concept of absolute morality. It introduces the idea that an inanimate object such as an image can be morally evil, but using the simplistic term a child might use, in an attempt to bring in a hint of parody. The term "bad image" is deliberately ambiguous, and references the nature of arguments which might had around adding an image to it. Of course, we all earnestly avoid the impression of moral judgement when we're discussing listing and delisting, but the vandalism it's designed to combat relies on causing shock and offence, and that naturally leads to a list which is a catalogue of the things that offend our moral sensibilities. The possible technical terms, such as "restricted", seemed imprecise to me, so I settled on the ironic term, which at least derives some humour from its imprecision. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
