We can't control the ad banners. Or the Barrack Obamas.

Yes, it did deserve to be locked. We don't promote discussion of prior members since they're not here to take part in the discussion.

Strange thing about the Barack Obama ads is that it managed to circumvent my ad blocker (which usually does an excellent job of blocking ads). I had to manually block it.

officialfan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=WWE&action=display&thread=1202303295Sooo... if I understand what the OP of this thread means, it' s okay to bash Cena as much as he wants, but not to be upset about the bashing ? Also, as far as I know, it' s against the rules to bash a wrestler anyway. Also also, the title of the thread is "Quit bashing Cena hate thread." So this guy is basically saying "hey ! Let' s hate people who don' t hate Cena because their opinion is diffrent from our opinion !"

I'd like to add my dot oh two if I may on that subject.
Why haven't the mods started locking all these Cena hate threads? Can't we just have one official Cena hate thread? I mean, you guys were very strict with the Jericho return threads. Yet everyone's personal opinion of John Cena is somehow allowed it's own thread, and that has led to 3-5 new "Cena Sucks" threads a day.

Seriously, do we really need threads where a bunch of people indefinitely repeat "Man ! <enter someone' s name here> sucks ! He' s a waste of TV time !"

Because if you're a fan of the subject, then you can just ignore it. The problem comes when there are SEVERAL hate threads on the first page. Then you have to wade through the hate threads to get to something you actually give a damn about. Hell, a single "hate thread" could even be the place for a great debate... Several of them, however, transform into bashing the posters involved and the thread itself...

Several of them, however, transform into bashing the posters involved and the thread itself... Exactly. I look at this the same way I do appreciation threads. If you don't like what's being appreciated, stay out. Unless you have something constructive to add to the conversation. Sometimes people with a similar interest just want to go to one place and comment on it, it isn't a crime. Same with the hate threads, as long as no one goes over the top in them, I don't see the problem. If you like what's being hated on ... just don't click on it. What is a problem though is when 1/2 the first page gets covered in the same topic.

We aren't going to ban hate threads just because they're hate threads. Should they go too far....wishing harm on the subject or bringing in unneccessary private issues of the person...then that's not allowed.
We'll look into how best to handle multiple similar threads on the subject.

how come B**** isn't censored? i hate that word more than other censored words. i realize that it might be considered like ass - which also can be a jackass (donkey) but i dont think i've seen it used once in a polite reference to a female dog.

Like many words, it was at one point, for a long time. As I said at the very beginning, I always planned on loosening the reigns on what was censored as time went by and the majority of posters knew what to expect around here. I'm not a fan of censorship at all, but we have to do so to a degree to keep the place from turning into chaos. Once we got to the point I felt certain words were no longer worthy of being censored, I unfiltered them. Unfortunately, not everyone is going to agree to what should and shouldn't be censored. We just ask that certain obvious words aren't used excessively. So far, and the word you're referring to has been unfiltered for well over half a year now, no one has really abused this. It may not be everyone's favorite word, or even in their own vocabulary, but I try to take into account that there is a gray area in terms as what people prefer. I know people who are offended by "butt" and even "crap." Wish I could have been more helpful, but I feel we're keeping in line with how the main site develops.

I dislike censorship completely...especially on the internet. I was just curious as to why that one wasn't censored since censorship DOES exist here. And yeah, I figured that while I may be offended (mostly because I'm a female) the majority of posters AREN'T offended by that word (being male...not to generalize but you gotta understand that it would hit home more to some than to others). Anyways, it's not as if I'm offended to the point of rage and whatnot... So it's all good <3
