Which, my wife still watches, so I guess I shouldn't be making fun of anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not on these boards, and even if they were, they don't care about internet gay jokes from strangers. The Joe Willy stuff is definitely strange and overplayed though. It was fun for the first few posts in the original thread, but has taken on an annoying life of its own since. Plus, Joe is an actual member here who does respond to those, so definitely odd to keep it up across so many threads. The joewilly stuff continues at this point only because he responds to every single instance like it was the first time. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lith Posted November 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2019 We all have our own set of personal experiences which make us react to certain things differently. For me, I have a daughter who is mentally handicapped, and there is no more offensive term in the English language, in my view, than the derogatory term that is often used to describe her and others like her. Antyhing else, I will let roll off my back and I don't really care. I also understand that I am hyper-sensitive to it and others use the term (which I cannot even bring myself to type) without intending it to be offensive. Part of being respectful on this site (and in life in general) is understanding that there are things which may mean little to us, but may be highly offensive to others. And if someone says they are offended, it should be a simple "I am sorry" and be more aware in the future; rather than telling someone if they should or should not be offended. Just my two cents. 17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all well and good to get rid of the pest posters but why ignore the constant homo denigration ? I avoid calling it homophobia. Its not fear, its born of hatred so describing it as such is inaccurate. Interestingly much of it comes from some of the most self proclaimed woke people here. Might be time to look at that more closely. We have definitely started the process and several posters have received warnings. We have more work to do though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it never comes from a hateful place, its just childish humor and with a busy life i enjoy reverting to a teen on this site now and then. imo, hyper sensitivty is issue #1. Its completely ruined Survivor for me this year. so what now? Some people are crossing a line between just harmless jokes and ganging up on people. That is what we are trying to fix. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeWilly has been warned and banned here several times. This isn't right though, blaming him for people ganging up on him and sending unsolicited and unwanted jokes his way. The same way we tell Joe to ignore those he fights with, others need to just put Joe on ignore. Or at a minimum stop @'ing him in posts and taking things off topic. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply put, there are too many people fighting and attacking each other. So, we have no choice but to be more heavy handed. Welcome back warnings, locked threads and banned posters. We don't want to do this stuff. But the mods have been instructed to just ban those that can't follow the few rules we have: No politics, no religion, no cursing\nudity and NO PERSONAL ATTACKS. Thanks! God bless you, you sexy bastard! PM me some nudes ... ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 I am going to lock this and pin it. It is simple, stop fighting. Don't attack others. Thanks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 There are a few people that are very closed to being banned for joking about other people's sexuality. Not cool. Also, no cursing. Not sure how many times I have to say it. If we get banned from this ad network I am not in position to pay the $600 a month to run the site like I did last time. It is pretty simple, don't curse, talk football, don't attack others. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
