Just so I don't violate it myself, what rule was this thread locked for?
I thought about it but I'm at a loss for reason. I didn't investigate any of the other links to see if they linked to inapropriate content, but if they do, standard operating proceedure is for a mod to edit them out, correct?
Edit: I thought some more and I have a theory. Somebody was asking where he could find native 16x9 widescreen aspect ratio wallpapers as opposed to standard 4x3 aspect ratio. He specified a resolution probably because he didn't understand aspect ratios so could someone have mistook this for a simple "Where can I find high-rez wallpapers?" thread? But the title clearly asks about "widescreen" wallpapers so someone would have had to overlooks that. It actually referes to a very interesting issue that really made me think about that dillema for a bit
Edit 2: Could it be that a mod has moderate filtering turned off on their Google image search cookie and is getting some inappropriate results from the query link?
