You are right and they are what we read to see. We don't come here to read ZDSXXXD, LLISHDNL, sexual activity jokes, homo activity jokes and general bathroom/gym talk.
If they want to post that stuff - just contact the mods if the comment is removed and discuss with them. The site administrators will make the decision based on what Jim wishes.
I agree, but to be honest, I don't see a whole lot of this.
Maybe a few off-color jokes here and there, but hey, people work hard and want to be gofy sometimes.
Unless they just go over the edge, maybe cut them some slack.
Personally, I have never, ever hit the abuse button. And i've been here since 1998 (albeit a differen name them).
I've seen some things that make me outright wince, but I just click over to another thread when that happens. If everyone else did the same, it would drop off the front page in about 30 seconds with the volume this site gets.
I've also been called some really nasty names, including some really mean ones aimed at my name. I replied to that person in a less than kind way (never profanities), and that peson hit the 'abuse' button on me. The mods rebuked ME without having read the thread where they would have clearly noticed I was the butt of a "racial-type" of attack and was merely defending myself.
That is why I think the "abuse" button should be transparent. Sometimes the abusers are the ones that hit it, and it least in my case, the mods DID NOT check the context of the supposed abuse.
It's just too easy to "win" an arguement by hitting that button, and I think more judisicious use would be made ofit were it transparent.
