Vince,
First things First:

1- We have a rule. Its simple. "No Profanity". Helps keep things simple and accessible.

You were politely warned in private. I put up a general post directed to everyone as a "Friendly" reminder of that rule. You were'nt the only one to get an email or PM.

2- We have another rule : Respect.

I can take a joke and so can everyone else. Theres a line between the joke, and downright disrespect.

You are more than welcome here, provided you follow the posted forum rules. 180+ others have no problems with that.

I'm willing to spend my weekend adding features, tweaking stuff, and making this the best bloody martial arts forum out there. I don't get paid for this, I'm barely breaking even on operating costs from the advertizing. The 100+ hours I've put into this forum is because I care.

Give me a break, and don't be a jerk.
:soapbox:

Dude, its been a loooooong day for me.....

I need 1 of those Asian medical massages / accupuncture things...

course, my luck, I'kk get Kunni. (The guy from that movie staring Weird Al Yankovic from like 10000 years ago.).:rofl:

:asian:

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Thanks Bob.

Might just do that someday. My only concern is I'm a Linux guy, and that takes me into Micro$oft country.

Hmm..... rain vs snow.... I'd take rain. Snow = Baaad!

:shrug:

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Hmm.....

Warmth, lots o oranges and shark teeth = PLUS

Micky Mou$e = MINUS.

I need a few 100,000 $$$$ and can just move around as I wish n train everywhere!

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Actually, no offence guys, but I'm gonna lock this one, and toss it to the Locker Room for storage.

I think this ones run its course.

[Bob Hubbard]

Briefly unlocked, updated.

Vince, Kirk, we took what you and a few other folks said and looked at it from various angles. Based on member feedback, and a very extensive discussion between the mods, we are going to relax the profanity filter a bit. If its on the list, it'll get filtered, if its not and we feel the need to add it, we will let ya know.


We ask that you try and keep it clean though.

Thanks!

:asian:

 

[Bob Hubbard]

We've noticed that the filter sometimes nails words that are ok. If that happens, please let me know what thread, and what word was nailed, and I'll tweak it more. I'm trying to avoid certain issues that have happened on other forums, not kill free speach.

Work with us, and I think we can get all the bugs out ASAP.

Thank you!

I'm innocent.
That's my story and I am sticking to it.

I thought they had to be at least 16 to dance nude. I'm taking the 5th on this.

 

[arnisador]

I think Kirk is quite right to feel it's reasonable to discuss whether certain terms need to be banned. He's doing so in a mature and responsible manner.

The last few posts though bring to mind the fact that one can wander into the red zone without actually using vulgarity. Let's steer away from the topics of the last few posts, please.

I hope people will continue to raise concerns they may have with the filters or any other such issue. This can be done by posting in the Support forum, or by using PM or e-mail to contact the administrator Kaith Rustaz or one of the moderators (arnisador, Cthulhu, and Renegade).

This thread is once again locked.

Never snows in Florida. Well, it did once since I've been here, but it never quite made it to the ground. And we're practically on the opposite end of the continent from Redmond

Heh...FL state lotto is up to $57 million.

Mickey Rat is bad, but he's pretty much confined to Orlando. There are plenty of other non-Disney theme parks as well. Then, of course, there's Kennedy Space Center.

Gou you are only innocent until proven guilty and their is way too much proof out there to prove your guilt. "It is just best to admit your guilt now, ve have vay of making you talk."

Fifth girl, fifth beer, definitley not the 5th grader.

Plus, we are not going to have snow this year or next, or the year after that!!! Just rain.................... and a little sun...

Now would'nt that be the life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tsunaminw]

actually,im in washington too,seattle area and have 6" of snow ,it froze,and more is on the way. dont believe the hype

 

[Kirk]

I agree with Vince. I totally understand the rules here, and this
IS a GREAT site. I do think that the a double s word being
censored is a bit harsh. If it's said on network T.V. then I don't
see the problem. Again, I will abide by the rules set forth, yet
I like to express my opinion on this matter. I don't think THAT
word qualifies as profanity.

 

[Kirk]

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!! You guys are too much
