I'll answer a few of the questions.
First, let me say that I have a pretty slow fuse for getting angry. The childish baloney I've seen in the last few days has made me angry. I simply will not put up with it any more. I'll warn the trouble makers, and yes, you know exactly who you are, if you test me, you'll not pass the test. I'm tired of just a few idiots ruining the fun of a very large group of people. It is not going to happen any more. If you post something that is not acceptable, I'll delete your post. I may or may not PM you about it. I will put a brief explanation on each instance of it. If I have to continuously delete your posts, I'll suggest to the other Mods and to MarP that you be banned permanently.
I've already said that if you want to say anything that isn't "G" rated or to put it another way, totally free of sexual innuendo and cussing, then you have to be in either a private chat with someone or in a Private Message with someone. If you can't speak without cussing in public areas, then I don't think you're smart enough to be in a group that is shared with 3000 other people who you don't know and may not want to hear your cussing.
KEEP IT PRIVATE. IS THAT CLEAR?
No, there are no exceptions. Obviously there are people who don't understand the word no. I've warned you. That's it.
If someone is drunk or high and is still able to type, but can't control their language, then yes, they may be banned for breaking the rules of the site. Immaturity isn't an excuse to be rude or crude.
I'm telling everyone very clearly, NO MORE CUSSING AND SEXUAL INDUENDO IN THE PUBLIC AREAS.
There's nothing about this statement that leaves any doubt.
As for the statement that people may go somewhere else because they can't cuss and raise hell here, then I say, GOODBYE, don't let the door hit you in the rear on your way to a group where that kind of baloney is ok.
If you can't watch your mouth in public, then you don't need to be here. Go somewhere else.
IS THAT UNCLEAR TO ANYONE?
Man, I hope not, because it will be enforced.
Astra, if new members are looking to you for advice, then you may want to advise them not to test these rules.
Now, for the silly question about other people from other countries that may not know what words are cuss words. Give me a break.
If you aren't smart enough to figure that out, then frankly, you shouldn't be allowed on a PC. If you want to test the rules, you'll get exactly what I've promised. NO EXCEPTIONS.
I've tried to be low key with this stuff but you guys seem to think I'm stupid or something. I'm not.
For all the people who enjoy this site and have no problems with these restrictions, good luck to you and enjoy the forum. We love you here and hope you love us back.
