"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.




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.

You're a smoothie, I will say that about you. But you're getting repetitious and exhausting with your feigned innocence. Most of your replies parallel what I've read almost word-for-word on the anti-freeper sites. Many of their contributors post here under one handle, there on another, enjoying the gamesmanship. Have fun!

Yes, but so what? It's Jim's machine, he can make any rules he wants and can change them anytime he wants. And there's been no sudden massive shifts in what's allowable and what isn't, just a slow evolution over time as the site got bigger and bigger.

And in the end, what's the big deal anyway, unless you are literally getting posts and threads of yours yanked every single day? There's hardly a single active Freeper who doesn't have a post or thread yanked or moved every once in a while. Why? Because the posters are human, and so are the moderators. Sometimes a post that sorts of sits on the fence between acceptable and unacceptable may be left alone by one moderator but yanked by another one that comes on duty a few hours later, or vice versa.

I guess what I'm saying is, just don't worry about it so much. Post what you want; if you are continuously posting stuff that gets yanked, any of the Admins or JimRob can let you know privately what you, yourself, are doing wrong to get yanked so often. If it only happens every once in a while, then you're doing just fine.

See you just broke two rules and haven't a clue.

1. You didn't "curtesy ping me" while referring to me by name. It's a curtesy any freeper with dignity follows.

GUESS WHAT- It's NOT writen anywhere.

2. You made a judgement on my posting of a naked fat chick, but your ignorance of the thread gives you the ability to decide what is apropriate. That thread happened to be about NAKED FAT CHICKS!!! Although my post was extreme, it got zotted and I gave JimRob a donation! (Guess who called the mod, ME!!)

You have become ignorant in your quiry. Obviously you need a better, more organized, highly moderated, well spelled out, and highly limited board for your perusal. This way your questions will be answered in writing for you to ponder your next intrusion.

Go to Law school! Your a natural.

Be gone.

*Yawn*

If that is true, why are YOU still here?

Why don't you go ahead and post whatever it is you want to post and let US be the judge of whether it should be pulled or not.

Or do you believe you have a God given right to post anything you want on FR, whether it offends anybody or not?
