That being said, it's time to go over the rules in case someone missed them previously. I'm sure everyone can agree that the way things were ran previously helped keep it a work safe atmosphere where us knuckle-heads could still get plenty of laughs and have a good time. So here goes:
- NWS tags are a must if you plan on linking any type of thing that can be considered remotely offensive.
This doesn't just include nudity, things with excessive profanity printed or spoken is included as well
* - No racial slurs, or offensive terms. We have people on this forum from all ethnic backgrounds, religions, and sexual preferences. We just ask that you think before you type.
*
- No vulgarity/cuss words in titles of threads.
Please keep in mind, this is a work in progress. If anyone has anything to add please feel free and if it's something I missed or should add I will do so. We will be the Off Topic we were before.
I appeared to be following the current rules as pertaining to cussing.
When did we get a damn cuss-word filter?
I clearly labled my "Taking Out The Trash" thread so as not to offend anyone. No way to mistake the nature and contents of the thread, especially considering the author.
No pirate mouthed cussing? No potty mouth? No vulgarities? Do folks really get offended by cuss-words these days?!? Don't they say "sh*t" in PG rated movies? All words are spoken in R-rated flicks, which I am pretty sure we have all viewed on many occassions. My damn posts are going to look like the ones from the ebonics slingers on the other site.
Can I continually dodge the..ahem....f*cking rule and not get in trouble? As just demonstated. At least you can tell what naughty word I used and not have to guess.
Please clarify the rules and what words are too filthy for the genteel, upscale, urbane, gentlemenly, well cultured, high falutin, pious, "my virginal ears are burning" crowd that hangs out on this forum?
Also, could we consider a ligher-duty cuss word filter that only does this - f*cking, instead of ****ing? That last one just sucks and makes the intent of the cussword indecipherable.
I have to know
exactly what the rules are before I can push them right to the very limits.
