i may be in trouble for asking this, but ....

Wasnt this forum supposed to be family oriented? IT still has all the great help any forum would want, in terms of technical advice and problem solving. But think about it, Recently this forum has gotten to where all it is is sexual/perveted jokes with a bunch of swearing. Noone can even keep a thread on topic. it always gets derailed.

Dont you think its time for the whole forum to be looked over and fixed? This used to be a place where i could refer people to for good clean humor and technical help.  Now its more of a place where you go for help  and scroll into the off topics and some other threads and all there is is a bunch of swearing and perverted junk.   tickedoff

My question is who all out of the members whom post in this forum....think it should go back to the family oriented type of place it was before?

 You have to look at it this way, there are always times when a forum moves and evolves, many of the members are experiencing a bit of stress from the turns in the world economics in turn ,, maybe we are just letting off steam.

 Swearing is a part of life, to some it is offensive, to others it may be an expression and taken lightly as it should be. Ever notice when you are w/ a person and not much to say, so the weather comes up?  It's called finding common ground.

 Do your part , post tech news for one, search the net, it's a big place, help the forum have discussions on those type of topics, not saying your not, nor anyone else reading this, but hell, it's all in fun, and I have seen nothing truly gross, or generally offensive to an mature society. Yea, there has been a few borderline things come up, but the percentage is very slim.

Have you ever noticed you just said "to an mature society".....think about this. there are 14 and 15 year olds probably a few younger that would like to be here and have registered....and not everyone here is mature. Think about those that are 14 years old and when they find all of this sex talk and swearing...what do you think will happen? They will think its ok to just go around talking like that.

I dont care for your arguement honestly.

also, some members get treated way different than others. it just depends on how the staff likes them.

 :haha: u should see what goes on behind closed doors here in the mods lounge...now that's some nasty stuff :haha: just kidding...but it might make ur hair turn white shocked

seriously i hear ya...and appreciate u bringing this up...sometimes i worry too about the younguns...and the really raunchy stuff goes away...if i see it anyway...

but the crux of the matter is...this forum is huge...and we can't babysit every post...if u look to the right of every post u will see a button that says "report to moderator" that what this button is for...so that all our members can be the eyes and ears of the forum...to be "undercover moderators" as it were smiley

as the volume of this forum continues to grow so will the issues...without the help of our members we can't possibly see it all...so never hesitate...i u have a concern with a post, seriously click that button and enter a detailed description of ur concern...and the confidentiality of ur report will always be maintained. if ur offended by something that was said please say so...go ahead and blowup our inbox...we really do want to know...

another thing is...i'm wondering do u have ur censored words turned on or off?...it's on by default unless someone wants to see the cuss words then they turn it off...check it out by looking in ur profile

as for ur request...pm ca3le (he's the only one that can do that)...hope u change ur mind tho...cuz u've posted some really good stuff in there...but maybe u just don't have what with school and all...

 Besides what Tdawn said, nobody, and I mean nobody wants to offend you, or anyone if they did , you let us know! Your one of the great ones here, please don't allow something to upset you like this, if there's something else, by all means voice it, either here or by PM my friend.

 Oh yea, who has treated you differently, or what have you seen that has made you state that people get treated differently depending on how mods like them?

I feel it is watched pretty closely. In fact I know that it is. In fact most actions that are taken are behind the lines. So in effect you might not even know it is going on for real. This stuff is not displayed for all to see. It done with a touch of respect. And hell yeah I treat you different. Your my neighbor for real.  wink State line neighbor.

I hope it all comes clear for you soon.  Very Happy  this is still one of the good forums out there. Where folks can relax, have a bit of fun and go along. As far as "really juicy stuff", well that went out with the members lounge. Ya missed what I really call racy. This other stuff is really kids stuff.  angel

So does this mean I outrank you once more?  smiley

Sorry Mudmanc I fail to follow how ,"Swearing is a part of life, to some it is offensive, to others it may be an expression and taken lightly as it should be.,
has any connection with " Ever notice when you are w/ a person and not much to say, so the weather comes up?  It's called finding common ground."
it's not common ground to cuss , just common , and shows the inability of the speaker to express himself, IMHO
the forum is growing like Topsy  maybe in numbers but not in postings , if it wasn't for the smart Bro tribe it would be seriously down,
I kinda go with SST on this topic ,  and the post count over the past year shows the same trend,
heading south of the border ,


maybe it is time to reserect the members lounge ? ,

Im not trying to intervene but it seems like you are sending accusations also. Lets just calm down and all have a general discussion.

and earlier i used the term "arguement" very loosely. more of a debate type thread. you follow?

Yes, it is an accusation, so what! read what I wrote, don't pull what you want and put into your own words.

 And don't tell me to calm down, I'm not getting drawn into a pissin match on a childs level.

 Those of you that want to change the forum into what you want , I suggest you take it up with the forum owner.

 Topic locked until an admin gets here.
