This email from a viewer...

Hi,

There's a big difference between sexy, titillating posts meant in fun, and posts that discuss "fingering" humans and animals, then smelling those same fingers, not to mention discussions about named, nude board members in a bedroom and poems about oral sex.

Those things simply should not have a place on this board. Period. The fact that these posts exist at all, casts a very negative shadow on the rest of the site.

Standards are what made this site different from the other sites. If you want to make money from this site, you simply cannot have posts such as these. Anyone who was interested in being associated with the site (Eli doesn't count), would see these posts and run away.

Please do not misunderstand my feelings about your efforts. I appreciate all of your efforts and the time you put into the site. But, this stuff is so over the top, it shouldn't be allowed.

Was this email from a member?

Was this email from a non-member?

Was this email from someone inside The Game?

Did you write this email?

Obviously it was a member if he/she can read the posts in the game right? That email reflects the opinion of one person. If anyone else feels that way speak out and let us know why. If that one person doesn't like something, then why do they venture to read it?

I'm just going to say that for disliking this type of posting so much, this person sure kept up with the TorD thread (from what they write, they've read it on more than on occasion)

You know, I don't care about synchronicity, so I just don't read the thread.... it's pretty simple and everyone is happy.

BB on the internet was not a for kids, it was for "adults" while not being extremely x-rated it was definately not G rated either. There are more then enough people trying to censor the net. I understand this is a moderated board, but I don't think this site is meant to replace The Cartoon Network. As far as endorsements/ making money goes - finding advertisers for a site geered for adults is much easier then one geered for kids.

Personally I would rather just see a disclaimer on threads that border on X rated then see them pulled. I can tell you as open minded as I am - and THAT is very open minded, I was a concerned when reading about the LIVE feeds during that last drinking party myself, CBS however didn't seem to have any problems getting advertising or endorsments pulled because of it.

People will always find something to complain about, unless or until we live in a world where sex and sexuality and any references to it are outlawed outside of a man/women married couples bedroom they will not be happy.

I don't think anything discussed here between two consenting adults should be a major problem. Whoever wrote that just needs to get laid!

sniffing fingers? punky smells wafting from the board?? I'm shocked and appalled, sir! Egad, but this site is a rollicking, rocking, ballsy place to be. Let me scroll back up...were animals mentioned? Holy horrific sassafras, so it does!! Pungent vapours are rising and will engulf all of us if we don't immediately start humming "Viva Las Vegas" while picturing Elvis in his stunning white shiny tux. Yes, that's a safe image...we should be okay if we do that...

Okay, here's where I am on this:

I don't doubt for a moment I am prudish or at least more prudish than most. Raised that way,live that way, not a problem. Gotta be me.

I agree that some of the postings, a vast minority, have contained "blue" or inappropriate for "family hour" content. Yes it reflects on the posters. It says we are quite diverse.

Perhaps a stronger warning statement at sign up time would be helpful but one can always revert to a time honored technique: VOTE WITH YOUR FEET. Don't go to threads where posters who exceed your tolerance are posting. And if you find that too many threads or too many posters offend your sensibilities: LOG OFF. Or find one of the THOUSANDS of chats on the internet that that meets your moral/ethical flavor.

Vasix, I tried to vote with my feet as you said, but I couldn't hit the buttons quite right, and I think I broke my mouse.

TY for the 1,437th grin I've gotten off this site.

Hey, I tried that too and my little toe got stuck between the keys also I wonder what kinda weird family gathers around the monitor and reads this stuff together? They would be better occupied picking lint out of each other's bellybuttons...

Souer that was my thought exactly I can't imagine sitting around with my son when he was 11 or 12 reading this message board. There are 100,000 things more constructive to do with your kid then this newsgroup. (I think the newsgroup is GREAT for adults, don't get me wrong)

Whit, let me make a minor correction to your previous post. A newsgroup is a group where everyone sends mail about a particular topic. That is similar to this, but this is a message board. An example newsgroup is alt.tv.bigbrother. You can access these with any mail or news readers.

Affinity I know I've spent so much time posting on newsgroups that it's hard for me to NOT call this one <S> This is just like any of the newsgroups I've posted too except that the layout is different. (the archiving for example)

I've often wished this was a newsgroup rather then a "message board" because it's easier to navigate a newsgroup for me personally. But I've gotten used to this. I miss some things badly though (example would be being able to show only messages in the last 24 hours - and then when need be to show all those in last week, or month - I do alot of looking back at previous posts so I REALLY miss that feature)

How about trying the new message feature. It lets you search for new messages in different areas and you can specify time in minutes, hours or days.

The word search is great for looking back on posts too. You can look for posts on only a certain subject or posts that were written by a certain poster.

And we were told -- "anything goes" in the game discussion threads. If this person really was reading TorD they should have read the rules too.
Moles are pretty stinky anyway aren't they?

Hiya Sandyc, I thought you wouldn't pop up until Sunday.

Nice to see you agree with "anything goes". Geesh, for a nano second I thought YOU were the this person.

WTG Sandy! -- and whoever sent the email, nothing like keeping us on our nosey toes.

Noslonna -- I get home from work about 11pm I start work at 2pm. So I pop in for an hour or so everyday. Wed and Sun. are my days off. That's when I have time to do more. I'm on EST. You must be on PST. You're up so late most nights.

Time changes this weekend. Fall Back.

Now if the phrase "Eli doesn't count" means me, there aren't too many people that have used that, and they are the ones posting on the synchronicity thread.

That narrows it down a lot.
