:thumb: jeff, tha **** are more humerous anyway, specially when used to sensor words that arent bad ' snap!!' lol
well my infraction came, because at the time i didnt know the filter was off, but anyways people that know me, know that i have a very bad mouth i curse all the time, its the way i was raised, then the military didnt help now when im in a public place with families and kiddies around ill watch what i say, but the S word and B word are on cable television now, ive been watching what i post now, ive even had to go back and erase words, i liked it more with the filter because i didnt have to pay attention to what i was sayin, no worries though ill just get all my bad language out at the next meet :lol: if i got banned over something as dumb as cursing id prolly be a little p.o'd considering some of the things peeps start on here, but i doubt someone will get banned unless they just totally disregard the rules, something else real quick, i dont think the curse words should be the big deal its the vulgar words, sometimes those can go a little over the edge.
One thing to remember about words on the internet, they are there forever. Words spoken in public are only heard by those directly around you and a millisecond later they are gone. You can't see on the internet whom it is that is going to read the words you've added to history.
Good point. All more the reason to have a filter.Quote:

I agree with you guys on the cussing. The filter and the cleanness of this site is why I am here. I cant look at other sites while I'm at work, cause of this. Y'all turning off the filter and letting people cuss, then warning them/ banning them isn't the answer IMO. If the filter is going to stay off, I cant get on line here while I'm at work. That is :thumbdown:
now come on JEff your at work. which means you should be working!!!! :)Quote:

even with the filter off or with it on and people using ****, you don't see it all that often unlike some other sites, most of the active members on this site are smart enough and respectful enough to watch what they type. For a couple weeks after the meet I seen some new members that seemed to be getting under everybody's skin and now there gone. Anyway the point I'm trying to make is this site is pretty clean not squaky or hospital clean but pretty good (whether you mods are on the ball constantly or just a decent group of people) and the language thing shouldn't become a big deal.
Some approve of passing out condoms to middle schoolers and needles to junkies because they think it's better to control people than let people control themselves....
Everything said, I'm proud to be a member of this site and refering new chevy folks to it and I never having to worry about what they may see here unlike some other sites. None that offends me but it is nice not to have to follow up with "make sure there are no kids around"
GMC's too:spit::luv:Quote:

I once heard someone say that a foul mouth is a feeble mind trying to express itself.

The flip side is those that are all cussed out are now making it a lot harder on the mods to follow this infraction world we're in after a lot of irresponsible chatting and poor judgment in posting. That's worse. Been there, done that.
Stop writing bad words. It's easy. Speak as you will but type clean so that this machine works better.
I still won't give condoms to 6th graders or syringes to junkies.
BTW there has been a lot of S words posted by one (maybe two) people that are new here. For now I would suggest ALL people to read this stuff.
X2, but honestly when there is nothing else for the mods to do i guess they have to find something to pick on. (my .02)Quote:

People are usually pretty decent with cussing IMO, and even around here i have no clue what has ever been so 'bad' other than this one night in the 'live chat' that i've been hearing about. Actually this site is probably one of the best i've been on as far as language goes, even before all this nonsense.
However this is not my forum, if this is the route they want to go, then so be it. People that dont like it are not forced to come here imo.
It's been a lot worse since the filter has been off and it's no coincidence.
isnt that the way it usually works? call attention to a problem and it gets worse? :spit:Quote:

As soon as a person violates the site rules, the mods won't have to do anything but read the posts of all the whiners that got their vacations from the site. :thumb:
