Damn... LoL Yeah I skipped that part. Thanks for bring it up 🙂 I rather have someone tell me I am doing something wrong and show me proof of it rather then just saying "BAN"

Thanks again HN

I just thought since this board had alot of mature people I could discuss a topic like that... but damn was I wrong
it's got nothing to do with the people here. it has to do with the rules the admin has in place.

understandable, but now you know.

 
Another factor that made me think it was ok to post was I found out about it in another post from AT forums here... that is how I found out of the site
 
Showing pornography to minors is, as far as I know, a crime. That is considered breaking a rule, and generally falls under the category of "common sense, even an idiot should know this".

Well I was not showing porn to minors and I posted in the topic as "Explicite Content Age 18+" to tell anyone under the age of 18 that this is not for you... do you yell at the tv when a show comes on and the rating system tells you that this show is rated R and you have a kid in the room? Or do you change the channel?

Yes, so many mature people here.

By the way, would you happen to be in your teens?

A better example would be if the Disney channel alternated the kid-friendly stuff with hardcore porn. Do you really think that would be A-OK as long as they give fair warning during the commercial break?

"changing the channel"=going to another forum where porn is allowed.

This really is common sense stuff, though. You should stop trying to defend yourself and realize that you are the one who made a mistake. We all make them. It's those of us who refuse to admit that it was their fault who grate on my nerves.

Dude that is taking one extreme and going to the other side of the extreme. I read stuff off here that is horrible, gross, and sometimes disgusting but yet never flamed them to delete it...

For instance who here has seen people post videos about fat people exercising and you can see there fat rolls jiggle... to me that is discriminating aganist fat people but yet they never recieved such a response such as I have

Just because someone is fat does not make it right for someone to take the video and spread it for entertainment purposes

No, because the mods do it for us.

You seem to be the one discriminating against obese people and putting a negative spin on it.

Well I am not gonna say no they do not but I have seen some of those posts never get locked...
 
I guess it is human nature to view something that you are not suppose to view and disgusted by it and you flame it.

I was not disgusted by it. I bookmarked it for future use, but I still think you were pretty stupid for posting it.

I guess it is human nature for a n00b to continue to build his post count by asking asinine questions about the moderation of this forum.

Are you getting email alerts or are you just refreshing the page every 10 seconds? :laugh:

Did I flame you? No. It just seems fairly evident to me that in America, porn or sex-related links are in a class of their own compared to other stuff, tasteless, vulgar, or offensive though it may be. The same for blatantly racist stuff, especially against black people, because that's a REALLY sticky issue in the US.

Hey, it doesn't make sense, I know. I think the lines that society draws are fairly ridiculous; certainly not where I would choose to put them. But even if I don't agree with them, I know where they are.

Yeah, certain topics are very touchy like religion, politics and sometimes even sports LoL But I thought if I post something like that in a question format I thought it would be ok because this board is not full of a bunch of kiddies like the damn gaming forums I like to visit

Stop acting like such an ass. Don't post porn. #1 rule.

You've already been told this in this thread and the other thread and you continue to question it. Are you really that fvcking dense? If you don't like it, find another forum to post in. Duh.
