my nick was banned from the forums

[deept]

Would you guys believe my nick "deepthrot" was banned from here? Because it was "offensive". Uhh, yes to people with dirty minds. This is a derivation of Deepthroat from the X-Files and Watergate informant. I still can't believe the level of censorship on this board. I just want some deals dammit.

This is a derivation of Deepthroat from the X-Files and Watergate informant.

Which was directly ripped from the rather infamous porno of the same name.

Which means it doesn't take ALL that dirty of a mind to find it offensive.

I know what you are saying, stuff sux!

 

[saxman]

I don't beleive you. Give me proof.

 

[madmacks]

sorry bout that, people have dirty minds including me but i wasnt offended one bit

 

[deept]

Viper, are you dumb? You really think the "deepthroat" from watergate was named after a porno? Deepthroat from Xfiles was named after the watergate informant who was NEVER NAMED and was called that because he had a deep voice. Learn some history before you talk about things you dont know about.

 

[Optimus]

Viper - wasn't it ripped from the mysterious informant in the Watergate scandal - and that use was ripped from the movie?

I know, just one extra level of ripping, there - I'm just curious!

 

[Optimus]

OK, deept - you and I just posted the same info. The difference is I posted a polite discussion on the history of the name useage, and you called Viper dumb.

And read the book by Bernard and Woodstien... I'm pretty sure you'll find the name came from the movie (popular at the time).

Raging Bitch is allowed but deepthrot is not?

 

[Valhalla1]

deepthroat!
deepthroat!
deepthroat!

so.. just wondering, if you can't have it as a username because its offensive, then why is it not on the banned words list? whats the difference?

Would you like to try for another weeks vacation?

RagingBITCH is a far cry from deepthrot.

deept...

AT has a history of banning nicknames that the general population would find offensive. Whether or not YOU find it offensive is completely irrevelant. Like the mod pointed out, we have people under the age of 14 who visit this site. A large percentage of our visitors are probably between 16 & 18. Show some maturity & be thankful they haven't banned this nick as well, for alluding to your previously banned account.

"Children visit this site on a daily basis"

Do you really think a child would know what "deepthrot" refers to?!?

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

They're two different levels. I might as well sign up as 'pussyjuice' if deepthroat was allowed.

I'm glad its not.

 

[deept]

Mmmmm..pussy juice.

Uh oh, I'm in trouble now...

I can't afford a $10 bet.

PLONK! (If anyone has ever been a UseNet addict, you'll know what that means. )

<< I still can't believe the level of censorship on this board >>

Boo-f***in'-hoo. It's a moderated bulletin board, and if you can abide by the rules that were set out in front of you when you joined, then you don't deserve to be here. Furthermore, the mods and/or Administrator can do anything they want! It's their BBS ... so deal with it, and quit whining.

<< Do you really think a child would know what &quot;deepthrot&quot; refers to?!? >>

Yes.

 

[deept]

ok i'll deal with it.

 

[DaLeroy]

'Ow about $7.50 AUS Viper??

 

[FettsBabe]

I agree with censorship on AT (they can do what they want). However, I don't understand why RagingBitch is allowed. Children visit here, and since they are protecting children from improper language then bitch shouldn't be allowed either. JMHO. Good job Mods.

 

[konichiwa]

Fetts

Because &quot;deepthroat&quot; is a lot more vulgar and sexually explicit, so to speak, than &quot;ragingBITCH&quot; ... it's like &quot;jackass&quot; compared with &quot;deepthroat.&quot;

 

[Antisocial Virge]

Just a side note to my above statement. I have nothing against RagingBitch as a person. I just don't see a huge diff between that handle and the one in question.

FYI: don't try Digital Jesus either.

 

[Viper GTS]

ok i'll deal with it.

Good decision!

Having passed that, you'll likely enjoy yourself here. We're a little on the conservative side (with a few notable exceptions COUGHI'MTYPINGCOUGH), but for the most part we're pretty decent.
