The FAQ is quite interesting

[TheHobbit]

I read the wonderful F.A.Q that came with this site and its rules and its kind of ironic but why are they not enforced. I'm only 14 but I am extremely offended at the subtitle in Zylka's profile.

Qouted from the faq:
"Double Log Ons...
Massive spamming in a thread
Multiple identical comments posted in many different threads.
Hate Threads... Or seriously hateful posts
Massive Flaming
Behaviour which is considered distruptive to this site.
No explicit sexual discussion allowed
Doing anything after an Admin or Mod tells you not to do it."Double Log Ons...

Its in the profile not the discussion but I'm assuming this still applys. You forum F.A.Q states the rules clearly and I assumed I could search the forums without being offended or finding such trash but I guess I was wrong. I strongly "suggest" you try and enforce your rules a little more here.

thank you for the suggestion.

btw, from the registration page that you are assumed to have read and understood

Although the administrators and moderators of Apolyton CS Forums will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of Apolyton CS Forums or Jelsoft Enterprises Limited (developers of vBulletin) will be held responsible for the content of any message.

since this applies to forums posts, i'm sure you understand that it's applied in user profiles even more. unless you expect us to check 18461 profiles every day for "trash"

No, but I have seen moderators participate actively in threads with such things, I would have thought they would stumble on something like that eventually though. Thanks for responding.

Actually... I'm quite familiar with his "comments" that he posts in in his location field. I think he actually uses such words like "penis" and "vagina"... If you (TheHobbit) are offended by those words, maybe you shouldn't be using these forums.

When people complain about offensive posts or offensive location fields, we will always follow up on it to see if there is any action needed. In this case, I don't see how the use of those words violate any of the rules.

[TheHobbit]

I've heard things like "maybe you shouldn't be using these forums." said to so many people it just has no effect. Maybe you should reevaluate the way you look at things. Maybe your opinion is flawed. Maybe your just a complete moron. Do you see whats wrong with the word maybe? It is based heavily on assuming something!

People confuse me so much, I need a book to understand them. Thanks for your time, at least I won't waste any more of it...

Ming. I do not believe that you understand.
1.) the FAQ: "No explicit sexual discussion allowed "
I belive that covers the "v" word.
2.) Other people may be watching certain threads in public areas such as a library or school in "The Hobbit"'s case or possibly parents. Now, you and I realize that Apolyton is more than curse words and only a few posters use them, but not everyone does.

It would be horrid if we were to lose many posters to such problems.

and
3.) Use in threads I belive should be allowed, but to a minimum... WHy else do we have hte censorer if it is not meant to censore out such words.

Should I say anything? No, people know me by my new name now anyway.


(long live ****gyRA)

Nevermind

[ColdWizard]

Sex Ed. must've been horribly offensive for you...

anyhow, if it's that big a deal just put zylka on ignore. nothing shows up but the name, time of post and a brief message inquiring as to whether you wish to view the post

I don't think you understand... You believe that vagina is considered explicit. I disagree. It just becomes a matter of opinion. The word itself is a simple term... and what other word would your recommend be used instead

However, if you were to describe in detail certain physical acts, that would be explicit. Saying the word penis, or vagina by themselves is by no means explicit... It's how you use the words, not the words themselves.

Oh... and TheHobbit... you are correct. I shouldn't have used the word "maybe". Let me rephrase it. If the words penis and vagina are offensive to you, you shouldn't be surfing the internet. Because you can't avoid simple nouns like these. And, you will probably run across much worse. Is that better

[faded glory]

VAGINA VAGINA VAGINA VAGINA VAGINA VAGINA VAGINA VAGINA!!!!!!!!


Lets go see the great walls of Vagina



Alright...I guess now that ive said that. But all I want to know is. Who is that girlie in Zykla's profile

If Z. inserted the word "in" before "your" in the location field.... would that be "explicit"? How about "near"? How about "Fs"? How about "raps"?

simple nouns

This is just a test: "Ming penis Mark b-hole vagina." is _not_ explicit, right? Just nouns (one of them mispelled). Not offensive?

How about: "Foppish connoisseur of warm".... never mind.

You should reread what I said instead of just responding.

I also said it depends on how you use them
And then, it becomes a matter of opinion. So if you really want to do a real test... try posting your examples in some on topic thread. When I see them, I'll give you my opinion. Unfortunately, you may no longer have the ability to post a response
