lol, im sure it will disappear soon...Originally Posted by shagwAg3n
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.
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.Originally Posted by DieselNuts
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.
You obviously have NO idea how to run a business or keep a clean site.Originally Posted by Ran
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

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?
thats easy, MODERATORS do.Originally Posted by iloveboost
And when we decide, some people dont like it, hence this thread

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.Originally Posted by Mr. KiDD
I'm willing to bet you can't list one sponsor that has made a pedo bear complaint.Originally Posted by Mr. KiDD
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.Originally Posted by Mr. KiDD
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.
Pedo Bear has been around for years now. It's nothing new, you're just taking it personally.Originally Posted by Mr. KiDD
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.
So you think that advertisers will be more likely to accept jokes on rape, incest racism, and other demeaning topics that are often found in these pages? Good thought process. Later, QD.Originally Posted by Mr. KiDD

When I was maybe 7 or 8 this bigger kid who lived up the street used to threaten me and a couple other kids and take us back in the woods and make us touch him ourselves and each other. It messed up for a while but nothing that I didn't get over.
Now I can just sit back and be like "well **** happens, wish it hadn't but oh well." I'm not going to flip out at seeing something that can be viewed as humorous if you choose to look at it that way.
If you don't think its funny thats your opinion. If you choose to ban an image that may represent negative connotations please choose to ban all images that anyone may someway find to be offensive.

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.
The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.
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.Originally Posted by PBS
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...

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.
