Not a rule, not an order, just an idea of mine I'm floating, to help keep the IOtD available to as many as possible.

I don't even know how to respond to this. |
You don't have to respond.
I've introduced a thought, which you can mull and incorporate it in your thinking or discard it.
I've no wish to censor or chastise or regulate anyones behavior, just put it out there for consideration....for the benefit (I think) of the people that suffer net nanny, and Tony's IOtD.
I've proposed the idea to a half dozen people with only one person arguing unamerican censorship.
I haven't posted it for discussion because I'd rather avoid the debate and those opposing, demonstrating their right to be as vulgar as possible in IOtD. |
yeah, well that's most of my confusion. a behind the scenes movement may make a few think twice about cursing, but if no one else knows that it's even something to be concerned about.....???
I think that if this is something you feel would be beneficial in a general sense, and people mainly agree with you.....i'm not one of those people that feels the need to rebel against a rule or guideline just because it's there. But for your idea to have any result at all, it would have to be publicly known.
If you don't think it is an appropriate thread for you to start as a moderator, I'd pose the question for you. I won't do it if you'd rather i didn't, and I don;t see any reason to refrain from using blue language if I'm one of seven people that know about this. Not trying to be a dick, understand....just....i curse. i'm a curser. i like to type like i talk.
I will try to comply if the consensus is that we should censor ourselves, however. .... I'm also a team player. |
Well, I'm pretty crude myself most of the time and hadn't thought about it until a couple of people complained about net nanny not letting them see certain threads.
So, I started watching IOtD, because it's so important to Tony, and separate from the rest of the Cellar, in that it's the window other webmasters use to see and judge him by. Actually it's been pretty clean, which surprised me.
You can certainly start a thread, if you wish, but I'll bet Tony gives his speech about his mother teaching him there are no bad words, at an early age.
But I still think consideration for how important that one thread is to him, would be the least we could do for him. Just my opinion though, no big deal. |
