I'm getting frustrated here. Mods, members are trying to talk to you. I don't understand why you guys feel the need to ignore your members!
I wrote our admin. I have to admit, I'm a little upset that you guys are selectively enforcing your rules.
I love this site. I love the fact that I can voice my opinion and read over other threads I have no interest in. If I find something that would potentially "offend" me (it would take A LOT), then I leave the thread.
I don't understand why all this is an issue. It's not like anyone is inserting **** in an "Off Topic" room. From my understanding, Off Topic means the subject can be anything outside of what the other catagories are.
Well, that was nothing different; and as I said before, it's also LESS offensive to post flirts and sexual "text", if you really want to go there, than posting photos of GORE. So what's the deal?
My other post regarding starting a new "catagory" (maybe named "Over 18" or something like that) can include just the kind of material some ppl are whining about. This way they are given a "choice" about whether or not to enter. If they do and they complain about what's in there, that's their prob, not ours.
C'mon and give me a break.
PS pls don't ban me! [sm=love.gif]

better watch it before i lock this one and BAN YOU! LOL....im just kidding.
i dont know, seems there was alot of drama around that one post and i dont get the big deal, BUT people did get offended whether or not they should have is another story and discussion. point being very blunt, motorcycle forum, off topic needs to be moderated too, we have been down the political road before and in all reality, we dont need all those posts about nothing, even though i couldnt stop reading......we realize the need to blow off some steam, but threads go pretty far, and when members start getting offended with the content in this certain scenario, that thread needed to die as it did and that should be that.

Understood rrasco, and the argument is not about what you're referring to..... Every board on the net is about something. They have a spare area for off topic chats and they get racey. Ours started to, and since that's not in the realm of this forum, then how about another catagory for it?!?!?!?!
That's all I'm saying yo.
broken record, broken record..................broken record.................
It just occured to me.. Do Christian or Mormon boards get racey? I don't think so... So skip the religious forums... LOL

Its doesnt come down to the fact of reading it if its in over an 18 or over thread. Thats not the point. The point is that is went into things that certain people are not comfortable with, and some of it being offensive. With the "gore" topic, its kind of had to push peoples buttons with a picture of a crash or whatever it may be. I understand your point, in a sense. But when you start having sex talk or pointless flirting in the way that it was conducted, can be offensive more so than it is worth keeping the topic open. If you want to flirt with each other and talk your sex talk, do it in a PM where there is not possibility of it being offensive. Most pictures on here are done with a motorcycle crash, or this or that, which has some relevency, no not totally, but its a statement. Point being, what I said in the other two threads. Now there are 3 of these threads talking about that one thread being banned. Do you kind of get the idea on how this is turning into something it shouldnt be. Why do we have 3 threads on the first page talking about the same crap with a thread being close. It wasnt one persons decision. It was deemed that there was nothing in there that was at all useful to anyone. YES, it is an OFF TOPIC thread, everyone understands that, believe it or not. However, there is a point of where things need to be controlled. Why is this getting so out of hand that we need 3 different threads to discuss this???? Explain why a thread about sex and useless flirting and conversation needs to keep going. Its a pointless tease thread. Yes, I understand people need to vent and rant, but not for 30+ pages that turns into a sex page. If people would participae a fraction of what they did in that thread towards ROTM, that would be huge. But noone wants to take the time to do that. Its closed already, more than 1 person was complaining, and whether you were posting in there or not, it went from a topic that was interesting into a topic with NO topic. I dont understand why this needs to turn into a big ordeal.

Sorry- I don't agree.
Then open a subforum for it. It's everwhere, I don't understand why not here if there's a calling for it.
Ok eclipse, then here's another something for you...During such a time when a member(s) doesn't have anything to contribute at the time, but still would like to participate on the board, they hang out wherever. You shouldn't condemn those who have nothing to say other than, "I like cheese" in the middle of a tech post.. C'mon.
Certain members have nothing to contribute to this board- nothing, and that's between the mods/admin and the member. I dno't care about that.
No matter what's out there, someone is always going to get offended. Some ppl need to learn to fight their own fights and stop running to the teacher crying. Own up to it-- and PM's are fine for differences.
From my understanding and experiences, if you don't like something, bypass it and go to what interests you.
Oh and the reason I opened this thead is I thought the other one was closed (it was my browser being a PITA and not logging me in).. Too late now.
