Is Rule #3 Being Followed?

  • buckeyefalls
    Obviously I am repeating myself because some aren't following it.
  • buckeyefalls
    And I gave MY opinion on how you act. Easy come, easy go, eh?

    By the way, I can't access your link to JJ because I am not a member, nor do I desire to become one. Sorry.

    Clean out your eyes and listen to what I'm saying.

    I NEVER said that a school couldn't see the content, etc. I NEVER said it was hidden.

    What I said is that those types of places may come on here to see what this site is all about (and it has the potential to be an even better site) but once they see posts with titles (Boobs, Booty, etc.), or if they open a post and see the language written all inside, most likely they will block it from their schools, etc.

    That's their choice.

    Either way, READ what I am saying, don't reply to what you THINK I'm saying.
    I guess you should READ what I AM saying..OPEN YOUR EYES! Where did I say you SAID that stuff?!?! I gave my opinion on that's how you ACT. And here ya go..here is a thread from the other site.. http://www.jjhuddle.com/forums/showthread.php?t=235840 ..now..go over there and bitch about it! And who cares if a school blocks it? I'm sure justin doesn't..I don't think he's trying to appeal to 13 year olds.

    How many times do I have to show you your own comment??? I'd say that right there pretty much says you didn't like it here. If you liked it..YOU'D BE BACK.

    What are people so worried about?

    First of all, they're just words. Second, who are you worried about reading them? High school kids? LOL, been awhile since you were in a high school hallway between classes then hasn't it?
  • buckeyefalls
    I see all those words I wrote, but I don't see where it says I don't like this site or think that it has great potential.

    Hmm. are you reading between the lines?

    The reason I said "now me" was because I was stating that when I am done responding to those concerned with dangerous worms/viruses to my site, I will leave. You can smile now as you won't have to waste time replying to all my comments.

    :)

    As a matter of fact, I'm done. I posted the truth about my site and if any of you want to be truthful and take me up on my offer, let me know.

    I'd be glad to sit down with you on my own computer and show you the issues don't exist and haven't for quite some time.

    Easy come, easy go? Did I say anything about your opinion of me? Wow..no..I could care less. My point was..you called me out saying I should open my eyes..so I was just telling you that I said that's how you were ACTING..not wha tyou said..again..show me where I claim that's what you said??? Nice try on spinning it though I guess..and imagine that..you can't click the link. :rolleyes: Well guess what..it's a thread with TITS AND ASS. On the JJ HUDDLE. I guess they lose all there credibility on teh internets now too huh!?

    With a whole 87 members? No thanks..I'll pass..maybe you should start allowing swearing..maybe you can get some traffic then too. Lol

    When did I say I didn't like it here? You all are too quick to reply and not slow enough to read. I said the site is a great site! I like it; however, I AGREED with the simple fact that this site has a rule but it really isn't followed to the t. That's it.
    I guess your arrogance clogs your thought process. See, I am a quick thinker, which is how I can be so quick to respond, I guess things must go over your head pretty easily, since you keep mentioning "slow"

    I know, I know, you don't have to say it folks. I won't let the door hit me where the good Lord split me.


    I also suggested that by filtering a little more, maybe more people would enjoy the site. I mean, if there are 1% of people out there who won't come back because they don't like it, then why not try to keep that 1%. Are you saying that people are going to leave because they can't drop the f bomb every other topic or post? I doubt it.
    The site isn't meant to cater to 100% of people on the internet, it's meant to cater to the people who want what it offers. Not to keep changing on a whim when every person wants something to change. If you don't like what a job has to offer, do you take it so that you can just go there and complain every day, or do you take an offer that fits more what you want?
    My life isn't sad, is yours? When have I talked down to a person before they've talked down to me?

    It's a much safer environment for those who don't need to swear to feel "big" about themselves.
    Go ahead and talk to your brother. I'm sure you'll come back here and make something up, but if you want to settle it, let's meet up. I'd be happy to prove anything that they say negative against it (regarding virus/safety concerns). You can value his opinion and honestly, like I've already written, had I been in your shoes, I'd warn people not to go to it either.
    I'll make something up? So now, not only do I swear so I can "feel big" but I am a liar? Make you are 1 arrogant asshole.
    But since I have a voice here and I saw someone mention it, I thought I'd clear the issue. - By the way, I'd be happy to give your brother $1 million as well if he can prove that that stuff is still in our cpanel or on our site. I'm not worried because it isn't. Again, our host server would have our site banned from the internet if it was.
    Problem is, you don't have $1 million.

    Also, how does my arrogance precede me? Do you know me?

    I'm not trying to be argumentative or never intended, if you read the posts from last night. I'm only responding to those who feel the need to attack first.

    I can't answer for the president or a billionnaire, can you?


    I can answer for a billionaire, Aubrey, the CEO if Chesapeake energy, that's just the way he talks.
    What I simply mean by that is that people swear for a variety of reasons, but can't they write the English language without having to drop in words that don't make sense in the context most of them use them in?
    We can, just like you can stop trying to pass your subjective opinion off as fact. What makes you a better businessman than I, or Justin, or GoChiefs?

    Honest question: Why do you feel the need to bitch so much CGW? I mean, it's your right, but come on.

    Threads about swearing, Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/ etc. Are you that unhappy? Go to church and pray more and maybe you will find happiness.

    I got more hapiness then most people, I'd imagine, but I wont get into that. Its just this is a new site, and it needs tweeks. I thought this site wanted opinions. I guess mine dont count........oh well.

    But that tweek is your opinion and being nazi's over the whole forum does nothing to improve the forum. How does doing that make a general chat, non-religious, non-child aimed forum, any better?

    You can voice your opinion all you'd like, that's why I defended you on the other thread about banning you. But you get very confrontational when people disagree with your opinion. Maybe it's because they attack you, but you seem to invite arguments. JMO

    New site and it needs tweeks---AKA he wants it to be more like JJHuddle. Pay your 12 and go back.

    count me as one of the minority, (tho not that much of a minority according to the people that voted) that would prefer to see less swear words on this sight. Only posting this because this is the thread for that---as many here have responded they (the majority) don't mind the swear words, in fact, many probably don't think many of the words even ARE swear words I would guess. I'm sure i fall into the more conservative element that visits the sight, probably right next to cats gone wild. It's been my experience that when someone like CGW expresses the opinions that he has, he gets blasted for "preaching" or being "holier than thou", etc. That's the reality of the world we live in. It doesn't hurt to make suggestions to try to brighten the broken world we live in, realizing that most of the people in that world don't want to hear any such suggestions and would just as soon "keep it dark" . That's not likely to change; I would guess he and I would agree on that. Even so, treating each other with respect instead of bashing isn't too much to ask. And I agree it goes both ways.
    I tend to stick to the HS sports forums since that is really why I'm here, and am grateful that things there are kept pretty tame and conservative. I appreciate justincredible starting this sight, and keeping areas (like hs sports) that are "family friendly". Itappears the majority of the people are on this sight for other reasons, so if the majority want it as it is, so be it.

    @buckeyefalls
    When it comes to "arrogant" (which I feel like I'm at least indirectly accused of being by you due to the tone of a couple of your posts), I'd say that it's a bit arrogant to use the forums on this site to promote yours (ie: the post where you linked yours so CGW and others could pay a visit to find a place with different rules concerning language, etc. on this thread), while simultaneously making comments to the effect that this place has plenty of room to improve. To me, that's essentially saying, "Hey doods! If you have any problem with how they're running this place, join mine!!!" and using Justin's server to do so.

    As for the virus thing, I'm only going on the warnings I've heard others have gotten going to your site. If, as you say, there's no merit to them, the onus of proof is on you. I don't care if people get or don't get viruses from your site. I'm not a member of it. But if you want people to be members of your site and willingly visit it, it is your responsibility to make sure they believe your side of the story....and your side is the correct one.

    I'm not saying I disbelieve you, but people aren't going to want to be part of a site when their computers are getting warnings from it.

    We are approaching 40,000 posts on the serious business forum. The vast majority have obeyed the rule. Some have not. I voted yes because I think the vast majority of posters have kept in under control. I have spent a good amount of time on this site since it was started. I have read maybe a dozen that I would consider definite violations of the rule.

    The more members this site gets the harder it will be to enforce the rule. Justin and the mods are doing their best to not be overlords. They would prefer we control ourselves. If it means a small number of questionable posts remain out there than so be it. But if it gets out of hand they will feel growing pressure to do something about it. I would not, however, "blow off" the 46% that voted no.

    You are always going to have those who push the limits. If you see a poster being an idiot in obvious violation of the rules, call him out.

    As for the "boobs" and "booty", I have watched commercials on TV and seen the same thing. Foxnews.com has links to the same type of stuff. Anyone can view foxnews from their high school library. As for JJ, check out the "hot or not" thread in the bleachers forum. Same stuff you see here.

    Nah.....I paid years ago. I really did like the JJ site though as most people did before a month ago. It would still be a hit if it didnt do the $12 thing, and this site would have nobody.

    Wow--and I'm a human being. Equally obvious statements.

    I don't swear, and I don't care if other people swear. Rule #3 was intended to contain the amount of expletives, not ban them outright.

    That is all.
  • Sage
    Who decided swear words are swear words?

    Why is bitch considered a swear word and "female dog" isn't? Isn't it the same thing?

    Also don't understand people that star their cuss words. (F*ck, for example.) How does that make it any better than just typing?

    Words are words. Pussy is the same thing as vagina. But one is more vulgar than the other?

    Somebody explain this to me. It has baffled me forever.

    cats gone wild wrote: Not from what Ive read since being on this site.

    3.limiting the swearing as much as possible in posts. Profanity isn't banned but keep it under control

    And also, why do we even allow swearing on a sports site anyways? Do we really need it? Im on other sports sites and they do fine without it. I know I dont run this site, but Im sure there are a bunch of 12-16 year olds who dont need to read every cuss word under the sun, or get on topics "boobs, booty, lingerie match"......etc
    So this was a site made as an alternative for the first crappy site all of us were on and now you're bitching about this?

    There are enough people on here that are parents/aunts or uncles/guardians that it's still tasteful. I don't understand your concern for the booty or boob threads either. If you want to bring up the fact that this is a "sports" site and the cussing and "nudity" isn't needed here then you aren't very familiar with sports. I'm not saying sports couldn't go on without the two, but do you think there is ever an athletic event where there is no cussing? Heck, half the time they show a professional athlete on TV you can read their lips and it's very obvious what most are saying.

    Also, as far as the nudity goes... Cheerleaders, even in high schools don't exactly "cover up". And have you ever been a subscriber to Sports Illustrated? There is an issue every year that is practically naked women.

    I haven't seen anything on here that I either didn't hear when I was younger or saw. I mean, the Victoria Secret catalog has more nudity in it than I've seen on this site.

    Don't blow it out of proportion... Besides, this IS the internet!

    Sight? Really?

    Cuss words are the least of your concern.
