Offical Pedo Bear Rule Discussion Thread

[Slow Motion]

you have no idea how much self control it just took for me to not delete or edit that in any way

Preciate it. Progress has already begun.

[Sammich]

uh hem...Fuk that we as a ppl need to vote.

I have a dream that one day, IA boys and IA girls will be able to post freely. And that Pedo bear and loli characters will remain free. I have a dream, that one day mods will repect the people and will not change and delete sh!t for there own personal reasons, and if they were to do so that we will go high upon the mountain top and say no. That is not right. We will one day be able to speak our minds without having to whisper quietly in the corner and back alley ways of IA. I have a dream, all sigs will remain untouched by those who wish to censor for personal gain. And I have a dream that we all will type together in peace in harmony. I have a dream.

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.

Later, QD.

Stop that bullchit..

[man]

this isn't a BUSINESS to them, or did you miss my first post where i said IA isn't a full time job for julio or paul? for one, if this were a business, they would've started charging a long time ago...

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)

Seriously, pedobear and 4chan suck hard. Neither are funny, and anything from that site has sucked pretty hard.

If people want to dicsuss child molestation while getting to see some "cool" anime and weird pictures, keep it on that sh!tty 4chan site. Not IA.

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®]

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.

I do agree. Mods should NOT be able to just come up with a rule whenever they feel like it. It seems this particular one has been doing that a lot lately. Later, QD.

I CANT BELIEVE THIS THREAD IS AS LONG AS IT IS... IF SOMETHING IS BANNED ITS BANNED, END OF DISCUSSION. SPRING CLEANING AND ALL THAT, GET USED TO IT.

this is all i'm about right here

[mocha latte cupcake]

so obviously i missed something somewhere... are we to say there is no moar pedo bear sightings on IA?

[Slow Motion]

It's been said. If you get rid of one thing get rid of it all. Nuff said.
Don't let one thing slide but get a bloody tampon about somethin else. And you might as well make it 100% Rated G in the WL.

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?

[stillaneon]

Douche? wow. well I am hurt now. I guess your insults dont take after your name after all. or at least the part about thinking....

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.

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?

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.

this post was not directed at you specifically

If you're not offended, then why are you biting back so hard with insults?

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.

Well then the humor just isn't geared towards you, that's all. Your initial wording just came of as a bit...strong.

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
