i'm not embarrassed to admit that i am one of those that make 'off-color' innuendos. whose color? even if you have a dozen moderators all you have is a dozen varying opinions.
i vote for the 'put your topic name on the subject line for all the world to see' idea.
if you see a topic called 'cockroaches are infesting my house' and the idea dusgusts you, by all means, DON'T READ IT. if a post is called 'WARNING - RAUNCHY STORY HERE' and such things offend you, guess what you should do. on the other side if a topic is called 'my spring garden in pictures', you may very well want to see it. then by all means do. why can't people police themselves? and mind their own business? why should they care what someone else thinks is funny, dreary, disgusting or plain boring. as long as the topic line is honest, then everyone can make an honest decision. i think that the only thing that needs policing here is dishonest labeling.
i don't see a problem here at all. i recently put out a topic on GCC that was off-color. the topic name was something like 'blah blah, blah - IF YOU DON't LIKE RAUNCHY JOKES, DON'T READ THIS. now, really. did anyone not understand that? within hours that post was deleted. i didn't blame anyone. but let it be known that within hours also, more than two dozen people pm'd me asking where it went, because they wanted to send it on.
and they were people that i never would pegged for it. so tell me, did the conservative people speak for the majority or just for themselves. and those of you who pm'd me should have pm'd patrice. i dont think i have to defend myself for having an adult funnybone. if someone found that offensive, why did they read in the first place? could i have been any clearer? do they follow through on these things deliberately simply to have something to complain about?
i would like honest feedback here. honest. and not just from people who see all adult humor as x-rated.
