Re: Sigh, what should I do with this thread?
 

That pic is hilarious. It makes me glad that my cats are both neutered (or spayed - whichever one it is for the male cats).

I've never honestly known what the policy is for profanity in pictures. I mean in theory it would be a violation but I've seen countless pics on this site with the f-bomb and other [censored] words in them. The most prominent - and I can't find it via a quick search or I would copy it here - is the Gary Coleman pic where he's shrugging and saying "who gives a fk"? I still see that one from time to time and didn't know it warranted a ban.

You're too sensible and down-to-earth to be a mod, tub.

All,

"I wouldn't ban for profanity"

Huh? If people are banned for writing "f-u-c-k" then imo they should be banned for posting pics that include that word.

Of course that makes sense, it's just kind of a shame is all. Some of the best pics have words that aren't allowed here. Bummer. I guess someone could drop it into paint and alter the image to comply, but that's a hassle.

By the way El D, you are a dumbass. I don't actually believe that of course, I'm just glad it was removed from the filter and have been looking for a chance to use it. Maybe I'll go read some NVG so I can dole out dumbasses until my fingers bleed.

I ban for obvious censor dodges, but not for say, somebody who I belive just typed fuckign 'cause they can't type (like me!) or who I believe assumed that fuckcheese would slip through the censor. I tend to view these images like that unless I can assume some real malice on the posters part.

I agree with el d, I see very little difference between someone writing f-u-c-k and someone posting an image that says [censored] in it. Both are circumventing the profanity filter with the exact wording of a swear (not fk or [censored] but actually saying fuck).

Re: Sigh, what should I do with this thread?
 

I don't disagree with him at all on that point. Just about where I start banning.

Re: Sigh, what should I do with this thread?
 

I thought tempbans for direct profanity filter violations is SOP.

if you tempban someone for intentionally bypassing the filter by saying fuck, not fk, you should tempban them the same amount for this, imo.

I think we're on the same page gildy, as explained above.

Dammit when I do I get special mod forum cussing privileges? Should I PM Ryan Beal? Look at this: [censored]! Then look at Gildwulf's posts. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
