Offical Pedo Bear Rule Discussion Thread

[Ran]

This thread is primarily for serious discussion concerning the pending new rule to ban Pedo Bear.

Resolved on Page 17 (It's pretty much all senseless bullsh*t after that.)

[Sammich]

in for the ban

[DieselNuts]

LAWL, this is great

[Ran]

It's funny man. Sorry, but I find them outlawing something like this simply because Mike doesn't like it as a bit more than power crazed.

Soon one of the mods won't find rape jokes anymore and they'll ban it. Then racism isn't funny anymore and it'll get banned. Just a few more flushes before it goes down the toilet.

I can understand now allowing sexual depicting images and this? Come on.

[DieselNuts]

what is IA comming to?

lol, im sure it will disappear soon...

[Sammich]

or ull just get banned for not removing it yourself

[Ran]

what is IA comming to?I know right? Even on the image board that I moderate on we allow Pedo Bear jokes and we're a work-safe site.

I think they're just letting the power get to their heads so that they can control anything that they personally don't like. That's just my view on the subject.

[Sammich]

jajajajaja

You obviously have NO idea how to run a business or keep a clean site.

This is not a powertrip.

This is keeping something that makes fun or light of CHILD MOLESTATION off the boards.

I dont want to deal with advertisers saying they want to drop the site because you posted a picture that said

I LIKE MY 12 year olds like i like my......


thats not EVEN FUNNY.

Have you ever known someone that was sexually abused or assaulted or molested as a child?

maybe you would think different. Its a horrifying experience that haunts one their entire life. I have a friends that deals with it everyday.

And to make trivial a matter this disgusting, well it just shows certain peoples maturity level.

SOrry guys, but im sticking to my guns on this one.

I let ALOT slide, and i mean ALOT. This is something im nipping in the bud asap before it goes on for 6 months then we decide we dont want it then theres 10 threads about how we change our mind.

If you really think its communist IA, im sorry you feel that way. Please feel free to wonder over to some other forums that have alot of the same rules we have.

Thanks
Mike

[Sammich]

can i have my b00bies pic back mike? lol

[iloveboost]

People make fun of all kind of inappropriate things on this forum.

Racism comes to mind. I find racism just as offensive and the child molestation garbage.

Who decides what garbage stays and what garbage goes?

[Ran]

You obviously have NO idea how to run a business or keep a clean site.A clean site? Banning an image of a bear isn't keeping a site clean. Banning images of sexual depicting images is keeping it clean. A curse filter is keeping it clean. I'm sorry, but I can see how you'll ban a simple mascot but allow other content like I stated before.


You obviously have NO idea how to run a business or keep a clean site.I'm willing to bet you can't list one sponsor that has made a pedo bear complaint.


Have you ever known someone that was sexually abused or assaulted or molested as a child?

maybe you would think different. Its a horrifying experience that haunts one their entire life. I have a friends that deals with it everyday.

And to make trivial a matter this disgusting, well it just shows certain peoples maturity level.I have someone very close to me that was raped when she was 12. I won't give anymore info due to confidentiality, but you get the point.

You want talk about maturity level? How about the ability to discern the difference between a joke and reality? There is absolutely NO difference between joking about this and joking about AIDS, rape, or whatever else.

If you're going to ban one, you should ban them all. Not just pick and choose whichever one caters to your personal tastes.


Sorry guys, but im sticking to my guns on this one.

I let ALOT slide, and i mean ALOT. This is something im nipping in the bud asap before it goes on for 6 months then we decide we dont want it then theres 10 threads about how we change our mind.Pedo Bear has been around for years now. It's nothing new, you're just taking it personally.

Sorry Mike, but I really think you're just going too far with this and sooner or later it's going to blow up in your face.

[Sammich]

Who decides what garbage stays and what garbage goes?

X2...SOMETIMES SOME PEOPLE STATE SOME HIGHLY OFFENSIVE RACIST STUFF THAT OFFENDS ME..SO..I AGREE WITH THAT, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME I SEE WHERE MIKE IS TRYING TO GO W/ THIS

[Ran]

AT THE SAME TIME I SEE WHERE MIKE IS TRYING TO GO W/ THISI can understand keeping content under control TO AN EXTENT. Graphic sexual image, okay. I can get fired from work for that. I won't, however, get fired for an image of a brown bear in a gif that's raising his eyebrows.

They're taking a valid point and carrying it to an extreme that it doesn't need to go. It's overzealous. Simple as that.

I'D LIKE TO SAY PRESUMPTOUS INSTEAD OF OVERZEALOUS. BECAUSE I'M 99.9% SURE HE HASNT EVEN CONSULTED THE OTHER MODS ABOUT THIS. ALL OTHER MODS DID CONSULT ABOUT THE NWS IMAGES IN THE SIGS AND AVYS THOUGH

[Thighs]

racist jokes are funny as hell idk what you guys are talkin about.

who cares if pedo bear is banned? its not even funny in the first place. just accept the fact that you now have to completely hide your inner pedo and move on with life.

[Sammich]

racist jokes are funny as hell idk what you guys are talkin about.

some of them can take it a little too far, but for the most part they are said in a joking manner and no harm is meant by it.

to me, pedo bear is taking it way too far. if it were translated into racism, it would be like "LETS HANG HALF THEM ******* AND SEND THE OTHER HALF TO THE MOON!!!"

see, too far^^ lol.

im with admin on this one. NO PEDO BEAR. THE END.

this thread will be closed anytime soon now...

well dont lie to yourself, its not just a BEAR

its a pic of a bear usually following a sexually suggestive themse or phrase.

THe 2 i have seen are

I didnt know he was 3
I like my 12 year olds like i like my.......

Now, dont sit here and tell me thats harmless.

u just said yourself that both can be taken too far...so in line with what you are saying, both racism and pedo bear should be gone as they both cross the lines at times the same ways

[Vteckidd]

ive discussed it with other mods over the last few days. thanks

Stop assuming

[Thighs]

pedo bear is over the line to start with... lol

[Vteckidd]

Who decides what garbage stays and what garbage goes?
thats easy, MODERATORS do.

And when we decide, some people dont like it, hence this thread

[Sammich]

ive discussed it with other mods over the last few days. thanks

Stop assuming

no offense but why wasnt there a thread earlier, than just today? you posting that thread made it seem like you 100% went off your own feelings. i would like to see the whole team chime in

[Vteckidd]

If you really want it to be COMMUNIST IA i would lock this thread and ban Ran for even trying to argue.

But im willing to let this go as long as it stays on topic. I value our members input and ideas an love to hear what they have to say.

But so far i havent heard anything to make me change my or others minds.

Plus, the argument about other subjects , we usually lock those down FAST. however there is no RACIST BEAR or other mascot with suggestive sayings, when that happens we will lock that down too.

[Sammich]

pedo bear is over the line to start with... lol

so is racism, but its still tolerated on these forums as no harm

[Ran]

The 2 i have seen are

I didnt know he was 3
I like my 12 year olds like i like my.......

Now, dont sit here and tell me thats harmless.They are harmless. Offensive to some? Sure, but no worse than other stuff I've seen on here. There's nothing graphically depicted, it's an image of bear and a phrase typed next to it.

So let's say you ban Pedo Bear. How I about I find another mascot and post it with similar text content? Going to ban that too?

All I'm saying is that you need to keep things at a logical level. Banning an image of a girl getting banged, cum-blasted, or whatever then fine. I've no quarrals with that. However, to ban an image like....



...seems more than a bit overboard. It's not overly offensive and it's not NWS but it does have Pedo Bear in it. Judge images by content that is actually depicting something, not something that just a crack at an offensive subject.

[Sammich]

there have been threads where nooses and burning crosses and KKK pics have been posted up. please dont ask specifically what thread, but i have seen those come up. hell i've even posted up nabisco saltine cracker pics before

[DieselNuts]

But so far i havent heard anything to make me change my or others minds.
Im not trying to change the topic, but how can you say this. You have no idea what would change someones mind other than your own...

[Sammich]

i never knew what the bear was until someone explained it to me..so...

[Vteckidd]

no one has made any point to make me question my own

[Thighs]

el oh el at pbs...

i dont see the problem. pedo bear isnt even funny. at all.

Sorry its got sexual connotations and is suggestive of molestation.

Look, i drew a line an you guys are just trying to see how far you can push it.

Just dont post pedo bear an i wont have to ban you.

I gotta run

HOLLA

[Ran]

pedo bear isnt even funny. at all.It's not funny to you. There are, however, many other people on the internet that find the jokes funny.

[Ed]

pedobear is the best internet fad.

like ran said, if you cant differentiate reality from a joke then...

never mind.

[collins]

i've always thought certain mods get power trips... i've just chalked it up to "thats life" and say whatev.





(ps: mike is one of those mods i was talking about LOL )

[Thighs]

theres also people who think its okay to have 30 wives. and scientologists. and white supremacists. and people who refuse to believe ANYTHING that isnt in a religious text. theres people who think their v6 mustang has a rotary and is fast.

theres alot of really stupid people. so why should this site cater to them?

[DieselNuts]

It's not funny to you. There are, however, many other people on the internet that find the jokes funny.
personally, I think its hilarious. Just because 1 or 2 or even 10 people dont think its funny doesnt mean everyone else feels the same way about it.

[Sammich]

(ps: mike is one of those mods i was talking about LOL )

o rly...:lmfao:

[Nemesis]

Seriously? Whats going on, Ive been out for a week or so lol someone fill me in.

[Sammich]

this is new sh*t george...just happened this morning

[Ran]

Sorry its got sexual connotations and is suggestive of molestation.So what about the original version?

http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm211/Rhett008/free_candy_van.jpg

No Pedo Bear in the image so it's allowed? What if I had photoshopped Michael Jackson in the van?


Look, i drew a line an you guys are just trying to see how far you can push it.I'm not trying to push any line. I just don't see how you can justify banning a simple mascot with any other reasoning that your personal taste. You don't like the jokes, that's fine. Don't laugh. However, you should not have the right to impose your opinion over ours just because you're a moderator.


Just dont post pedo bear an i wont have to ban you.I can't say it enough, judge images by DEPICTING CONTENT not by who is in it.

[ShooterMcGavin]

LOL

On the real. I can see IA slowly killing itself off. The only thing keeping this site alive is the whoreslounge and even that is becoming weak content-wise. Nothing against Julio but the more he turns IA into a "business" the more it feels like a job... I don't feel that he's going about this the right way. It seems he's more concerned about the sponsors and money than he is about the community.

[Sammich]

What if I had photoshopped Michael Jackson in the van?

[Doppelgänger]

I'm offended by stupid people... can we ban stupid people too?
Oh, im also offended by fat people and fat jokes... can we ban that stuff too?
A few other things that I don't like are thugs, stoners, spaghetti, paper, shoes, white trash, movies, videos of people getting hurt and porn. Yeah, I think all that stuff should get banned too.... because I don't like them.

PS its ban..not bad:lmfao:

[Ran]

theres alot of really stupid people. so why should this site cater to them?It's not catering. IA allows all sorts of content and, a lot of it, I don't agree with. Do I complain and ask for it to be removed? No. For instance; if you're a scientologist then knock yourself out. I'll think you're an idiot, but I'm not going to push for "Ban all scientologist joking images" because I don't agree with it.

[man]

whats your point exactly?

My point is that if this website continues on the path it is on (mods banning anything they don't like, ignoring the users' wants/needs, etc.) this site will go under like the Titanic. Internet communities are advertisement funded, that is true. And while you do need to make money, you won't do so if you lose your community. There's no need to sacrifice the freedom of the community for a couple bucks. If that sponsor doesn't like the site, find another one. If you aren't willing to turn down customers (sponsors) then you aren't ready to run a business.

and by "you" i don't mean you pbs :boobies:

understand where you're coming from. but at the same time, are you speaking from experience? have you had to seek out sponsors and have you turned them down in order to keep a community?

i'm not saying i have by any means, but if you haven't either then why do you speak as if it's such an easy thing to do, especially considering IA is not a full time job for either Julio or Paul?

and furthermore, there are numerous online forums where jack squat is allowed, yet still have a huge following. i don't think it's fair to insinuate that you can't maintain an online webboard w/o allowing a free for all. TRUE, IA might not be the same if more and more things become banned, but it doesn't mean IA won't survive and find a potentially larger following of ppl who don't care for the WL nonsense.

finally, i love IA and all the retarded bs that comes w/it, the callouts and all the inappropriate jokes. at the same time though, i'm on other boards that are CLEAN and i enjoy those as well, so it's all whatever to me.

If you really want it to be COMMUNIST IA i would lock this thread and ban Ran for even trying to argue.

But im willing to let this go as long as it stays on topic. I value our members input and ideas an love to hear what they have to say.

But so far i havent heard anything to make me change my or others minds.

Plus, the argument about other subjects , we usually lock those down FAST. however there is no RACIST BEAR or other mascot with suggestive sayings, when that happens we will lock that down too.

well charge a fee, like $10 a year per member...

$10 * 1000 (lets say only a thousand member will pay)

thats 10000. i'd say thats enough to run the server, etc...

[Sammich]

My point is that if this website continues on the path it is on (mods banning anything they don't like, ignoring the users' wants/needs, etc.) this site will go under like the Titanic. Internet communities are advertisement funded, that is true. And while you do need to make money, you won't do so if you lose your community. There's no need to sacrifice the freedom of the community for a couple bucks. If that sponsor doesn't like the site, find another one. If you aren't willing to turn down customers (sponsors) then you aren't ready to run a business.

and by "you" i don't mean you pbs :boobies:

can we make out?:lmfao: :lmfao:


Honestly...the Pedo bear..I think is kinda funny. Most do not have words in them so I find them harmless. i did just see the pic we are all talking about and I dont approve. THREE? C'mon. Thats below the belt. 15, 14, whatever..on IA, who doesnt talk about younger girls and how we could hook up with them again? lol. As long as it doesnt get to graphic.

-Ant.

yea, but see, you dont agree with banning all pedo content..so that brings me back to another question, was this discussed between mods and admins before this rule came into existence

Done.

I'm not one of the pedo fans like Ran :lmfao: , so maybe my more neutral voice could be a bit more valuable to the mod team, I dunno...

This is absolutely ridiculous. There is a LOT of filth on this site that is tossed around on a frequent basis that is EASILY more objectionable than the likeness of a cartoon bear. To ban sexually explicit images in the WL is somewhat understandable, but to ban a cartoon of an animal that suggests a sexual connotation is absolutely absurd.

Mike, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I highly doubt any sponsor has objected to his cell-shaded likeness. Furthermore, I haven't seen anyone complain on the board either. That leaves personal qualms as the likely culprit here, which I think is nowhere near a valid reason to ban a cartoon. Hell, even if someone had complained, this is the WHORESLOUNGE, where anything is supposed to go.... ANYTHING, that is, except for cartoon animals. God forbid. :rolleyes:

If someone had suggested yesterday that IA was planning on banning a cartoon bear, I probably would have laughed and explained that surely they aren't that ridiculous. Seems I was wrong. Sure, nobody's gonna up and leave for some ridiculous reason like this, but its censorship, and it will lead to more... and people don't like it. Nobody's making us stay here, I know, but if you really want to sacrifice your loyal user base at the expense of becoming the morality police, I guess you should just continue doing this.

Oh well... at least we still have the rest of the gang. :ninja:

[stillaneon]

Maybe we should just ban the whole site, we are all going to find something we dont like.. I dont like certain mods deleting threads when they get their feelings hurt for being immature. And a lot of people dislike QD because he is refreshingly blunt. Sometimes the punches have to be rolled with.

And if Pedo bear is a battle you really want to fight then go for it. but I think there are worse things out there to get defensive about.

[ShooterMcGavin]

yep! :goodjob:

[man]

understand where you're coming from. but at the same time, are you speaking from experience? have you had to seek out sponsors and have you turned them down in order to keep a community?

i'm not saying i have by any means, but if you haven't either then why do you speak as if it's such an easy thing to do, especially considering IA is not a full time job for either Julio or Paul?

and furthermore, there are numerous online forums where jack squat is allowed, yet still have a huge following. i don't think it's fair to insinuate that you can't maintain an online webboard w/o allowing a free for all. TRUE, IA might not be the same if more and more things become banned, but it doesn't mean IA won't survive and find a potentially larger following of ppl who don't care for the WL nonsense.

finally, i love IA and all the retarded bs that comes w/it, the callouts and all the inappropriate jokes. at the same time though, i'm on other boards that are CLEAN and i enjoy those as well, so it's all whatever to me.

I have run websites in the past (taking a break for school) and I do know how hard it is to turn down a customer, the first couple times. Sometimes they will straight-up leave and you move on, other times they will reconsider and perhaps change their criteria for the site. Julio has given up control of the site to his sponsors. Just because his name is on the certificate doesn't mean it's his anymore. He is merely working for them when he decides to meet their every request.

So here's where IA as a business stands:
An advertiser comes, looking for access to the wide consumer base. They say "well, we don't like this and that" And here goes Julio and the mods, out to change stuff. Now they are working for the sponsor. So not only is Julio selling his product (user base) he is also adapting it to each customers specific request, which we can call personalization (thus changing the consumer base, even slightly)

Look at any major company/corporation. Let's take Ford for instance. Let's say you go in to buy a Mustang but you don't really like the engine choices. So you say "well I would buy one, but I'd like a 5.7L engine instead of the 4.6" they are going to laugh at you and gladly see you out the door. Even if 1000 people walk through saying the same thing, guess what? They aren't going to do it. This is why Ford only sold the Model T in black, things are easier to sell when you offer the customer a set list of options.

So let's say IA is a Model T. Now things get interesting. Let's say Ford will bend to each consumers request, but each change made has to be made to every car (by every car I mean even cars already sold, due to the fact that IA is a singular entity, each sponsor is buying the same IA, not their own personalized one) So, your first customer comes in and buys one, in black. Your next customer comes in and wants it in red. Now you have to start making them all red AND you have to go back and paint the first customer's car red. The process continues for each car sold. Sound like an easy car to sell?

I know this is long, but it's true and I'm bored

Oops, someone came out to play. I am not allowed to point out his more than obvious flaws. He said he would ban me. But at what point did the moderators feel that it was neccesary to not to what was in the best interest of the site. Not unlike a republic, leaders are put into power to police and set rules in the majority's best interest. What rights as members do we have to "impeach" moderators who don't do as such??

[quickdodge®]

I would like to see this site continue to be successful, but from what I've seen, Julio needs some help.

The only thing Julio may need help with would be the financing of the site. This site just gets more successful by the day. I can't tell you of one web forum that has been as active as this one for the time it has been on the air. An unsuccessful website would not be in the position IA is in today.

Now what I agree with you on is this.....IA should get rid of all incorrigible "jokes." Especially if one is being targeted. One is not much greater than the others. Cussing is censored yet you can click one link and watch whatever porn is posted in there. RLD needs to be gone IMO.

I understand that it's not full time for them, but it is a business. If it wasn't why would they worry about sponsors and moderation so much?

And as for charging, there are advantages/disadvantages, especially for a message board.

As I said I'm am simply trying to help. The fact that this isn't a full time job means what I've said is even more relevant. They spend too much time worrying about how to make sponsors happy. They are (should be) selling a product, not a product + service (personalization)

I agree fully, my question is if it has been successful for so long, why start changing things that don't need to be? Especially when these changes make people upset. I understand that there will always be someone that doesn't agree with changes, but there needs to be a balance between sponsor happiness and user happiness. You can't just sway one way because one side is sending you a check every month.

But anyway, back to the topic of the thread. Mods shouldn't be able to do this stuff, period. If they all get together and come to an agreement, fine. But they are MODERATORS, not rule makers.

[quickdodge®]

why start changing things that don't need to be?

I'm glad the "pedobear rule" is in effect. I think they should do the same with rape jokes and incest jokes and racsim jokes. If you get rid of one, you should get rid of all.

Now I don't want to see the site become 100% PC, but cutting out some of this crap will be good I think. I've always supported getting rid of RLD, for example.



Mods shouldn't be able to do this stuff, period. If they all get together and come to an agreement, fine. But they are MODERATORS, not rule makers.

I've always supported getting rid of RLD, for example.I've never seen any of the joke content as a problem as long as it stays in the WL. That's why it exists. It's just generalized "anything goes" BS. Keep it out of the serious forums and leave the WL alone. If you don't like it, don't come in. It's like how I see the RLD. I don't really like it, but if I don't go to it then it won't bother me. It has it's place and that's where it stays. Same thing for the WL.

Later, QD.Some people don't like the offensive or otherwise risky humor. It comes down to a difference in tastes. It's the same as people who joke about AIDS or movie stars dying. About 3/4 of all forms of humor are at the cost of someone's misfortune or a subject that is "taboo". Don't like it? Then don't laugh. Move on and find something that does entertain you.

[TheGodfather]

I still see nothing funny about it.

A stupid cartoon bear that pops up and says things about little kids?

Why is that even funny? Do I have to be a preteen obsessed with 4chan and anime and f'ed up porn to enjoy it?

I don't really get offended, and it doesn't necessarily offend me. But it wasn't even something funny. A few people thought it was. Well those people should stay on that 4chan site with all the other people living 30 seconds away from retarded.

QUESTION, did you also ban Import Tuner Magazine, Mike?

[Sport1.3]

What is funny about rape? Racism? Pedophilia? There's no place for that anywhere. WL included. To me, some joking is fine. But the massive outpouring of pedophilia jokes on IA was really getting annoying. I think this was the main reason for the rule. It got to where everyone of the people that spend countless hours on here posting nothing was washing down the WL with that pedo-crap. Later, QD.


Key words being "annoying to you", those opinions are subjective and don’t represent this site as a whole. This generation has become "pussified" enough as it is. If you don’t like it, why can’t you just ignore it? Instead of being the ***** hurt mom that doesn’t want her kid playing dodge ball anymore, because he might get hit in the face. Censorship is just another form of slavery or oppression.

A few people thought it was. Well those people should stay on that 4chan site with all the other people living 30 seconds away from retarded.I find entertainment in offensive humor and I assure you that I'm not retarded. I just don't hold any general topic as sacred and don't let it bother me. At the same time, I don't flame on those that do laugh at things I don't like.

I'm not offended at all, I don't care really.

I find entertainment in lots of offensive things, I laugh at everything offensive usually, but I just don't get the whole 4chan thing.

I've never understood the attraction to anime or anything on that site, and yes I have been there. It just seems stupid.

Other people may laugh at a stupid bear and other things on that site, and good I'm glad they can, I just prefer not to.

What has the Pedo Bear done to you? :(

[redrumracer]

Hey guys, try not to get too off topic. I actually want to see how Mike and the other mod team members actually approach the subject.

Thanks.
so far from what ive read he seems to be the only one against it, hell even other mods arent backing him on this and one even made a joke in his thread about it

[Ran]

That's kind of what I'm gathering from what I've seen so far. I've nothing against Mike personally. He's generally a pretty cool dude and I've met him in person. I just think he's carrying this in a direction it doesn't need to go.

I'd suggest either leaving the subject alone and keeping all the BS in the WL where it's supposed to be "anything goes", or just doing away with all offensive content as a whole. Considering how drastically member participation would drop if they chose the latter, I would just leave well enough alone and keep it in the WL as it's meant to be.

[x Resilience]

They are harmless. Offensive to some? Sure, but no worse than other stuff I've seen on here. There's nothing graphically depicted, it's an image of bear and a phrase typed next to it.

So let's say you ban Pedo Bear. How I about I find another mascot and post it with similar text content? Going to ban that too?

All I'm saying is that you need to keep things at a logical level. Banning an image of a girl getting banged, cum-blasted, or whatever then fine. I've no quarrals with that. However, to ban an image like....



...seems more than a bit overboard. It's not overly offensive and it's not NWS but it does have Pedo Bear in it. Judge images by content that is actually depicting something, not something that just a crack at an offensive subject.

I agree, with everything stated above.

No worries Ran. They're going to do away with all of them, its just too much to get rid of all at once. Changes will come, but drastic they will not be. (Yoda) Atleast not until someone takes a step back and says "Hey...it started with pedobear, which eventuallly led to rape. That led to racism because of the bum pic. "You gonna get raped", with the black bum guy. Then AIDS, etc.

If there was somethat that should be banned to help clean up the sight, it should be people that dodge the filters. :ninja:

[ShooterMcGavin]

I've never seen any of the joke content as a problem as long as it stays in the WL. That's why it exists. It's just generalized "anything goes" BS. Keep it out of the serious forums and leave the WL alone. If you don't like it, don't come in. It's like how I see the RLD. I don't really like it, but if I don't go to it then it won't bother me. It has it's place and that's where it stays. Same thing for the WL.

Why can't it be that simple?
bc i guess part of the issue is that the pedobear thing was in ppls sigs, something you can't get away from if you wander away from the WL.

It's suggestive, yes, but it's not NWS. Like with the original topic, sigs should be judged on their actual depicted content.

Also, regulating what appears on globally-viewed avatars/signatures and what appears in a concentrated forum are two seperate topics.

It's all good. My point is getting a little misconstrued. I'm cool with jokes about anything. In moderation, though. What is part of the problem is that there is a certain "click" of people on here that day in and day out post about nothing but "you are a child molester" or post up a pic of a little girl crying and adding a captian directed to an IA member saying "Why did you make her cry?" You know..bullshiit like that. Driving a joke into the ground is what's sad. Later, QD.

i agree, but why get technical? you know i meant that the pedobear, along with the attached captions about she's only 3 or whatever, is what made it more offensive.

like i said, i personally don't care, i was only worried about seeing half naked chicks or a big F U in someones sig/av.

You know..bullshiit like that. Driving a joke into the ground is what's sad. Later, QD.I agree with this post in just about every aspect. Still, that comes down to the members themselves, not specific content. You can get people to tone it down and keep things on a decent level without blantantly outlawing a subject altogether. I've absolutely no problems with that approach.


For one thing what direction do YOU THINK I am taking this?I completely understand that you want the site to clean up. I agree that somethings get out of hand, but I don't see a need to ban things that are already put in a specific section. I don't want to porn all over IA, so they keep it focused in the RLD. Great! Now I can browse the site without see @ss everywhere. I use the same approach with the WL. If I don't want to deal with the general bullsh*t one day, I'll ignore the WL and go chill in Car Talk or somewhere that I can have an intelligent discussion on a topic. As long as the Pedo Bear and other content stays inside the WL where "anything goes" then I'm good.


And, to me, it sounds like you're making a general threat about coming at me (on here of course) if I were to take this "in a direction it doesn't need to go."

Later, QD.lol, I think you're misinterpretting what I'm saying or I'm wording it wrong.

When I say "in a direction it doesn't need to go", I mean the approach and actions taken in general. I'm not going to "come at you" in any sense over this. Maybe I'll try a better wording next time.

Some people don't like the offensive or otherwise risky humor. It comes down to a difference in tastes. It's the same as people who joke about AIDS or movie stars dying. About 3/4 of all forms of humor are at the cost of someone's misfortune or a subject that is "taboo". Don't like it? Then don't laugh. Move on and find something that does entertain you.

holy fukin hail did i find that just wrong..i didnt understand why..but i FOUND some humor in it and joked a lil bit...but some people took the cancer thing with whats his face and made a joke out of it..so yea "Don't like it? Then don't laugh. Move on and find something that does entertain you"
