I dont get it!

Recommended Posts

I am pretty sure that I dont want muchless need to see the video even tho I did share with Condo via PM if I "sit or standuP" when I.... Well lets not go there!

SEE.... Self moderating!

INUENDOS abound here in DROPZONE.COM, I am rather quite surprised that the CAPTION the AVATAR thread has lasted as long as it has... Well, it might not be here after this but ya'll hopefully get my point about CENSORSHIP...

I dont have a serious problem with it as long as it is CONSISTANT! ONLY b/c if the rules are laid out PLAINLY and discernable, then the owner can do as he/she pleases with their board.

Like I said why add LIMITS when the owners and helpers already have an arsenal of choices re, 1-deletion/lockouts (when necessary) 2-warnings 3-bans.

I dont know about you folks, but I have seen the difference of "noise" in here since the OPEN FORUMS thread by HH....

Hell, that post actually saved my arse from going under the knife for reasignment surgery!!!B|

peace

If you're "self moderating" you might want to stop questioning "censorship" ...

I want to thank the original poster; the 2 girls, one cup phenomenon was one that I had managed to miss and seeing the (safe, harmless) pic in the original thread prompted a very fruitful google search.

Actually, the owner can do as he pleases with his boards regardless of what anybody thinks about any rules that may be in place, now or in the future. And there ain't a damn thing any of us can do about it.

Sucks, doesn't it?

HELP ME OUT here so that I may understand better!



Simple. It was locked to send a message. The message is actually kinda simple, dropzone.com and The Bonfire was never intended to be a contest between posters to see who could put up the most disgusting and provocative images they could find. While some people find this an "amusing" game . . . the moderation team is simply tired of it.

Post pretty photos if you want, but when it comes to stuff people are posting simply for shock and gross out value . . . come on guys . . . grow the F up.

NO....Shell.. THANK YOU!

I as well as other members here on dz dot com really need to know where and what line not to cross! and stitchs thread is clearly showing us that there is confusion here! I beieve that I understand where HH and the mods are coming from and other members that replied back to the OPEN FORUMS thread. I dont know, maybe i am making this out bigger than it should be. But i am freespirited freethinking nonconformist sort... If I dont like something I pretty much just move on!

Even your signiture line could be abusive to the right/wrong person!?!? I am not attacking your line (i like boobies too) just using that as an example!

if you are asked/DEMANDED to change yr sig line, I will be forever sorry!!

I can understand where you're comming from but if you opened the link in stitch's thread there was nothing disgusting about it (for once). It was just a picture of a few guys with a disgusted look on their face. Was it just the pure mention of that subject that got it locked? I'm only asking because anymore I don't know where the line is and I don't want to unknowinly cross it and get banned. (I'm honestly not trying to be a smartass, I'm just curious.)

It was knowing Stitch, his posting history and the reference to the subject matter that had me reaching for the lock before even opening the damn thing.

I don't think the "average" person that posts a "normal" photo has too much to worry about.

There have been SO many threads started recently about what people are allowed and not allowed to post I'm sure the Mods are getting tired of having to:

1. recycle them
2. respond to them
3. defend themselves

Read Skybytch's reply above as well as quade's. Their replies will tell you everything you need to know. And how to conduct yourself. If in doubt, there's a nice little sticky up here from HH that tells you the same, a perhaps a bit more.

This is a site to post what you want, but there are boundaries that shouldn't be crossed. And they're laid out in the FAQ's and in recent stickie's and announcements.

And thanks for worrying about my sig line. I was asked to change it once (NOT by a mod). And I did.

So far so good with this one. But if they ask me to change it, I will. It's their "home", not mine. If they want me to take my shoes off, I will. I'm just visiting.

Ya know Quade, I usually don't question the Mods actions. If I have a complaint I take straight to Sangiro. If you have really paid attention to my posting record, you would realize I've never posted a NSFW or otherwise disgusting picture ( with the exception of a pic of my actual butt) in any threads.

I think most would agree that I have been more in the "Disgusting Poll" genre.

I seriously dont get what is going on or in that pic! I dont know about stich wether or not at trying to be sneaky, but I must be out of the loop on some things in life....

If this thread http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3134215;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread is locked
because of "sneakyness", and someone (esp a mod) is offended, why lock it? Just recycle....


I am not trying to be a smartbutt here, but just trying to understand what is tolerable and what is not? I see NOTHING in that pic that is offending! NOW if it is the future comments that has a mod worried, then I think I see a problem..

HELP ME OUT here so that I may understand better!

peace
:dd



I didn't go and read the rest of this thread but, the title of the thread pretty much goes against what HH referred to in his sticky thread at the top of this forum, whether or not the picture passed muster...

Spend more time posting meaningful stuff with a few light-hearted jokes sprinkled in rather than the hard core stupid crap like I used to... :)

It ain't no damn democracy here and comments like that ain't gonna win you any favors with the mods.

Hell, I'm already on the edge with some of them so I'm trying to be careful. ;)
