Unfortunately a few people tend to ruin it for everyone (not pointing fingers at anyone on this topic, just making a general statement). Take the ****** thing for example. ****** has officially been against the rules of this site for as long as I can remember (loong before I was a mod). For a while it was... tolerated however. But at some point a relatively small number of people decided to push that tolerance to unacceptable points. For a while, pics of ***** women (and men) were showing up in every other topic here, being used as avatars, put in sigs, etc. It was at that point that google ads stepped in and said they did not want to be associated with a site that condoned such behavior, a completely understandable position imo. So unfortunately it came to what we have now, much stricter rules about ******.As for the racism issue, benben made a post the other day that pushed that limit. I deleted it, and PM'd him about it. To his credit, he replied to my PM respectfully and in an understanding manner. I appreciated his understanding, just as I appreciate it from most members of this site (on this and the few other rules we must enforce). I dont like having to delete posts, or ban anyone. I get no pleasure out of it (believe it or not lol). Im sure the other mods feel the same way. But the simple truth is, we must maintain some order here, for the good of the site and its community. Im sorry if you (or anyone else here) does not like the lines in the sand we feel we must draw, but I ask that you at least understand why we have to draw them. Thanks.</blockquote>
