What part of "This place ain't the same anymore", "Jim's board, Jim's rules", "the quality of posting has declined" don't you understand?
To: justshe; Admin Moderator
It is good to know what is pulled and why, then people will have a much better idea of what posts are acceptable to JR.

I haven't seen a 'pulled thread' notice in months that DIDN'T have the reason for 'pulling' posted.
Some may not agree with the reason listed....but that is a different matter.

where have I advocated posting porn? You better stick to your excellent 'cartoons', or whatever they are called.

AND STOP CRYING FOR THE RULE BOOK! Our rule book is a living and breathing document! Isn't that what the liberals think about the Constitution?
To: justshe; Admin Moderator
excellent.
where are the 'pulled posts' listed along with their reasons, like the moderator posted? I have never seen this.

Thanks. You once again can't see the forest for the trees. The "cuss" you describe was an anology of stretching the rules to its limits. In trying to follow your thoughts according to your ever present and on going inquiry, your quest seemd to be for a "bottom line" in writing. But your reasoning is suspect because the answers you are given do not satisfy your quest.
JimRob and the Mods do their best to maintain civility. If you can't understand that, you do not have your own set of civil rules that you follow through life's activities.
I find this place great. I've had a reply or 2 ZOTTED and I could only giggle a little and then thank the Mods because of my dalience in the extreme.
Altho the 700lb naked fat chick I posted once wasn't obscene, just a real puker. :-) Thankfully the Admin Mods gave me religion!
Here's another test, would you let your Mom or daughter read your post? If not, Don't Post it!!!!!
To: XBob
It is good to know what is pulled and why, then people will have a much better idea of what posts are acceptable to JR.People already know what is acceptable or not. And if they don't, all they need to do is take a serious look at the content that is presently online here. Knowing what's pulled or not will not add any additional value to knowing "what posts are acceptable to JR."
If the rules are unclear, you have but to ask. JR and the Mods have demonstrated time and again that they are willing to patiently discuss and clarify anything that you ask. Knowing what was pulled won't change that.
I missed this morning's tagging spree, but from what I've read here, I'm pretty glad I missed it.

Well, you've definitely given the impression that you wanted to see what was yanked. I say they give it all to you..so you can evaluate their job performance (I was going to say, "first hand", but that may have been misconstrued)

Yes, that's why I said it. :-) It was a slip intended to be caught.
To: XBob
It is good to know what is pulled and why . . . Suffice to say that when I hear the term "Liberal" or "Democrat" from now on, I'll have a completely different visual stuck in my head. Sad as this sounds, I preferred it when the reference conjured up mental images of Alan Colmes . . .
To: Registered; XBob; MinuteGal
"You know, just so you can evaluate it for yourself."I honestly thought at the beginning of this thread XBob was confused. Now I think he just wants to argue. Leni caught on quickly.

What is and isnt acceptable on FFR has changed over the years.
I am not a mind reader, and no longer know what is acceptable and not acceptable on FFR, like many others I have talked to.
I would never have posted JoeSixPak's fat naked chick, it's not acceptable to me, but apparently it was to him, when he posted it.
Not knowing what is allowed leads to a forum without any fire and that is not offensive to anyone - pablum. If, as someone suggested, we put a G rating (don't post anything you wouldn't show to your children), then we become a children's forum.
Many of the finest freepers have left, either been banned, or got bored.
Porn is not the issue I am discussing, though, but it seems discussing this on other threads gets no reaction or gets pulled. I have gotten more answers on this thread than after months of trying to get some answers.

Snore. How many times do civics lessons have to be provided free of charge to our less enlightened resident posters?
This is a PRIVATE website. Owned and run by one man and his LLC. He is NOT bound by the constitution in terms of what he chooses to allow on his site since he isn't the GOVERNMENT and the constitution, properly understood, is a document limiting the function and reach of the government.
Thus, his rules can be as fluid as he likes (although as I've written above, the rules are pretty easy to discern for those with eyes to see).
Get a hobby. Other than pestering folks of good will on internet fora.
To: Admin Moderator
That's it? That is ALL that has been pulled?
To hear it told around here, I expected something along the lines of enough material to fill the Grand Canyon.

If you have posted to a thread that is later pulled, your comment will remain on your "MY Comments" page. If you click the thread title then, you will get a page that says "This thread had been pulled" and a brief explanation (such as "advertisement" or "disruptor post").
Sometimes, if you are posting a comment as the thread is in the process of being pulled, you'll get the explanation as soon as you hit the "Post Reply" button, since the post will no longer go through.
If you didn't post to the thread, you're SOL. There's no way to get something that doesn't exist.
This is really simple stuff.

Give it a rest, okay?

Kinda makes you wary of shaking hands with strangers, doesn't it?
To: borkrules
I always suspect those who keep asking for the rules in black and white want to see them to find the loopholes.
