What's the policy on warnings?
Three Strikes Rule, or Case by Case?

Can we talk about the Whiskey rebellion or does that venture too far into politics no matter how old?

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. Didn't there used to be an "All-purpose Cena hate thread" stickied in WWE-Current at one point?

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. Hey I agree with you. 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 Er... if I may add my two cents, I know plenty of girls who aren' t offended by the word "bitch" one bit, and sometimes even call themselves bitches, making it sound like a more "feminine" version of "badass." So being offended by it or not has nothing to do with the sex of the poster.

Okay, the political ads in the banners are starting to get a bunch , esp. the ones from the presidential campaigns. Is there any way to block them?

They're sold in bundles. What's up there is out of RD's hands. Jed Shaffer ~Hence the WEEKS we had to deal with the browser-crashing Jericho banner, and the gay-porno-in-disguise ad for Jackass 2.5.

Hey Mods,
If I were looking for a post I made a long-ass time ago, would I be able to find it? I'm think it was around April-May 2006 or so.
I'm not looking to bump it, I just need something I posted. A story that happened to me, actually and the other site where I posted it is since offline, so I can't get it there.
Any way for me to find old posts on here?

Any way for me to find old posts on here? If you go to your profile you can search through old posts. I think it only goes back to the last 1,000 posts or something, though, which may not be enough for you...

Any way for me to find old posts on here? Check the archives, it may have made it there. If not, it was lost in a partial board crash. The archives are organized by year but not by month/day, so you may have to look a little harder than usual to find it.
