Deleting threads, stupid or not

[Target Practice]

Hey I know why don't we all argue over the semantics and legitimacy of a very simple-to-understand rule with a guy whose job isn't to make the rules but to enforce them. Never mind that since he is, you know, sacrificing the comforts of civilized life to fight for your freedom and stuff, he might have other stuff to worry about other than a bunch of whiny dickheads on an internet message board.

Edit: Dave if "dickheads" is against the flaming rules then I guess I'll take one for the team but for the record it felt really good.

We have so had this discussion before. It was decided that activating and ignoring the cuss filter could be bannable if done in a way meant to be inflamatorry or get you a warning if otherwise - though if you had had repeated warnings it became bannable. We also decided being a smart aleck and "faking" activation with *s would also merit the same result.

Alright Lohman.... Can you please tell me where this was stated???? Because I missed it. And I'd be willing to bet that the rest of the folks did as well.

That's just a guess on my part, but I know I've never seen the ruling that says typing *** *** * ** is an offending thing.

DM

[DevilMan]

So Typing the * is bannable???? Or worth a warning????? So what happens when someone has ******* In their TAG under their name??? Is it not worthy of a warning????

But yet, it's not an issue to the MODS.

Have to toss my $.02 in and say.

This is the most heavily modded board I read. Some people enjoy that, personally I do not.

it's corrected now.

And yet you still didn't search

[DevilMan]

welllllllll wasn't quite sure what to search for.... Maybe if you had said...> Search for... *** or Ban or a thread number.... then I would have been more than happy to search.

But just saying "You could search" Don't mean alot to me. Yes I very well could have. However I'd be here forever and ever if I just did a search by starting at the front of the dictionary and working my way back.

ohhhhhhhhhhh I got it now....

Somehow something that was brought up in 2005 (Almost 2004) Is supposed to pop up on the radar for this discussion.

And it's not really an answered question.

Soooooo according to that thread.... cussing is NOT allowed. And substituting in *** or ** %#@(#$#$% for a cuss word is NOT allowed..... Alright.. Got that...

Now a request for some logic.... Which do you think is safer for the minors here and for being PC.

Saying BULLCRAP!!!!! or BULL****......???? or saying He's a ***** or saying He's a (Male Genitalia)????

I personally.... of course would rather just see the ******* But thats me. I don't see how the answer is.... "Of course, you could always find a none cuss to put in its place, it is doable I am sure" When in the end it's all the same meaning.

Blatant cussing???? Sure warn the folks and ban.... A slip up from normal talking???? The filter hits it.... send the poster a note. Hell watch TV today folks!!!! Look what gets said there!!!

Gonna go back to this. Private board, you don't pay for, owned by someone else. You're opinion on if a rule is fair or not, or if it is enforced correctly or not of very minimal value.

welllllllll wasn't quite sure what to search for....

I suppose the terms "cuss" "filter" never occurred to you? Since you used them several times in your post, I assume you're familiar with them.

Somehow something that was brought up in 2005 (Almost 2004) Is supposed to pop up on the radar for this discussion.

As for a thread from 2005 being something being important... Yeah, it is. Looks at this Mod's creation date http://www.automags.org/forums/member.php?u=23380 You were around then.

You know Lohman.... For once I agree 100% with you.

On part of it at least. My opinion is "NOT OF VERY MINIMAL VALUE" Meaning it is has a very HIGH VALUE.

So thank you for seeing things my way.

Now on to the "I don't pay for" part. That is correct. I don't pay for it. But if a board is going to be respected and filled by folks that are to be respected then the RULES set forth by the OWNER of the board shall be FOLLOWED by the members of the board. NOT to be enforced and tossed around as the USERS of the board see fit. The MODS do NOT OWN the board. And are therefore in the SAME shoes as I am as a USER of the board.

Go back to it all you like. It still don't change that fact that THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM... People can come and go as they please. If you are going to COME INTO THIS FORUM.... You AGREE TO FOLLOW the RULES AS STATED IN THE TOS. THAT MEANS YOU FOLLOW THEM HOW THEY ARE POSTED!!!!

So as a MOD breaking the RULES. They are therefore eligible for the BAN or the WARNING or whatever else the punishment shall be.

RULES are not something that you can go and override just because you are MOD and think your title means you are "above the law".

I'm suprised from the looks of it these days that some of the folks here can fit their head inside of a 5 gallon bucket.
