If you read, I never said it WAS against the Rules Sonique. Now you are doing what I'm doing, Making judgements before you actually do something.

one of the rules The Moderators are trying to enforce. I mean come on are we even going to try to put this rule into motion?

---

Is what I said, I never said it was a rule Sonique, And I never meant any form of anger in that post that was directed to you, It was merely a "Statement."

Though it is Filtered, It is still considered as "Swearing" I mean anyone in there rightful mind knows what you are trying to Say Sonique when you do that, Even a 10 year old would probably know, and though you say it. A kid here on this forums would probably pick it up and use it, And I'm pretty sure.. We all know what you tried to say.


EDIT:

THANK YOU 2 Die fr, Exactly what I'm trying to say :|


EDIT AGAIN:

And I just thought of something Sonique (Sorry if it sounds like i'm blowing out on you but i am GOING to win this fight.)

Roquivo stated about Symbolized swearing people saying "@$$" and #*%#" and stuff, that is a mixture of symbols also, Is it not? And is yours not the same as those? It is a symbol like you said and is used to cover up different things is it not?

I think my point is proven here..

You're welcome.
I thought I was against what you were saying earlier in the thread, but now... oh gosh, I don't know what to think of this anymore...

Alright then, fair enough. If you have a problem with me, I suggest you take it up with an admin then.

I don't know about the swearing thing. I mean, if the dude does it a little too much or if they use it in a derogitory manner, then I can say that is a little too far. I'm just not a fan of censorship. Ofcoarse, I'm looking at this in a slippery slope kinda view were one form of distinct censorship will soon lead to another...

Sonique, I'll say it here. I don't have a problem with you says so in my previous posts.

But if you are going to support a rule, I think you should also follow it.


edit

But Lion Roog, If they are to make "No swearing" A rule, that means you can't use any VULGAR LANGUAGE.

I mean if you can break the swearing rule, Why can't you break the offtopic rule, Spam rule, and others?

While cussing/swearing is not in the Pride Rules, it is being enforced. This was discussed in the Promontory section, and has been being enforced by the mods through filters and through personal warnings to members. I can think of several right off the top of my head.

[sarcasm] Ah.. sweet blissful confusion [/sarcam]

Well, it depends on what light you look at the rules. The offtopic rule specifically addresses a problem that is detrimental(sp*) to the common good of the board. The swearing rule will have the same effect, but just doesn't seem solid to me. That's why I support a swearing rule, but not a ban on swearing as a whole.

I'd like to point out:

Pride Rules:
4) No adult-oriented material.

---

That's a Pride rule.

In movies, vulgar language can lead to a PG or PG-13 rating. Thus it should be marked as adult-oriented material, which is clearly against the forum rules.

Edit: Also, if a member is offended by vulgarities (of any type) and asks for it to stop and it continues, that is harrassment.

Quote:

---

Pride Rules:
3) No name-calling, put-downs or harassment of other Pride Members.

---

Good point PS, And also I support it Lion Roog, But I don't' say it should be banned, but should have as much effect as the other rules, And should have the same punishment

That way members will NOT abuse swearing and will think before they post. Also it will keep things.. In order you could say

Now that PS sasy that


Swearing is ACTUALLY one of the Pride Rules, but its not CLEARLY stated..

Adult oriented is above 18 years old, I believe...

And harrasment, I believe, can only be inforced if the actions in question are some how targeted at the harrased person. If I say "damn, that's pretty cool"...Then member SoAndSo can't complain I am harrasing them...

Edit: What I meant to say was that adult-oriented material is not always something that only adults do.

Besides, I can still call it harrassment.

Actually it can be 15, Swearing.

On family guy on cartoon network, it says "Adult oriented material" before each episode that is played and "Should not be shown to children below the age of 15" and most of it is rude humor/swearing/racism whatever. You get the point..

But Swearing is P3 - 13

Most movies are rated PG - 13 for swearing and so that means kids unless with an adult can not go in that movie unless they are age 13 or above. So I would think Swearing is adult orientated material.

Despite the fact that I hate to get into semantics...I believe what is meant by "Adult-oriented" is pertaining to sexually explicit materials and language...

The Lion King is rated G. If you want this forum to be anything but appropriate for general audiences, I think the point is lost.

Edit: whoa, PS beat me to it.

True, but the fact of the matter is that this forum was not necessarily intended for teenagers and adults only. Thus you should conduct yourself in an according manner.

Since The Lion King is rated G

I would have to say since this forums is "related to nothing but The Lion King" Except for one board

That it should be kept to a "G" Level Dont' you think?

Just because you do something IN real life, Doesnt mean you have to do it online Lion Roog (Not saying that you do anything I AM NOT HAVING A PROBLEM WITH YOU BTW xX)

That's a straw man arguement.

I agree, but I don't buy into the other extreme, either...

What the ? You could at least explain yourself into what that means...

It doesn't matter what you think of my argument.
