Thread: Poll on current state of Message Board - Read message before voting

This is a poll to guage people's feeling on the general state of the message board.

No decisions will be made from this poll, but it will be used to guage what further discussions (split forums, rules changes {more or less restrictive}, etc.) is needed in Town Hall.

Okay...where's the poll. Is this an Admin joke?

He's probably typing it up. The thread posts before the poll because he has to type up all the poll options.

I'll have to take the poll later then, as I'm off to work.
Good to see you SR...coming home soon...make sure to make it known.
We can't have SR running loose on our streets and not be forwarned.

FYI, you can choose multiple options on the poll.

Teah...you may want to add that info at the top of the poll, tned

I'm fine with people expressing their sexuality. No where has it crossed the line that I can see. Certainly none of it has been a personal attack.

Fewer words should be censored.

I've made up my own opinion on the PG-13/R Forum, and I don't think it's a good idea. The board as a whole, imo, should be PG-13, because as far as I can tell, there's no one under 13 years old here.

I'll agree with you MO in the sense that PG-13 is completely up for interpretation. A few hidden curse words is one thing...then you have the stuff that me, Beef, Frau, etc. have fun joking about. I think if you created our own little slum in this village, the Bible thumpers wouldn't have to cross the tracks on our side of town and could continue to live in 1950

I agree. I obviously don't have a problem with any of it, but if you have threads about classic cars or tennis it probably shouldn't turn into a discussion about Coaches hoes or beef's sexual tendencies, etc. That way if someone isn't interested in that sort of back and forth banter they don't have to read through 30 posts to find the ones about cars.
Just my honest opinion. Not that I'm not guilty of hijacking threads or anything.

I won't disagree with you at all. I am very guilty of throwing out an innuendo here and there. However...I don't think I "force" the people involved to continue the banter as long as it goes on.

More freedom=

I'm ok with the current level of sexually oriented comments, I think fewer words should be censored, I'm in favor of a PG-13/R section, although I'd prefer that sort of thing allowed everywhere.

Many of us would...but if getting one thread to be ourselves is where it starts...I'm happy with that for now.

Ya know...the most interesting thing to me about all this is typically...women are more offended by this talk than anyone...and yet, the women here engage in this type of conversation and the men are the uptight ones.

Yea that is a little strange. Maybe the women who come to a predominately male message board (about a sports team) are more likely to hang out with the guys and enjoy the banter that most male friends have. Maybe? I don't know.

I'm not going to try to analyze it...I'll just enjoy it.

I don't know. It seems to me that some threads need more freedom, others not so much. I can't freely express my feelings about Phillip Rivers or the Raiders without getting a bit, shall we say, blunt. Duck Before Entering ought to be almost a "free Fire" zone. Same w/ most threads like whats on your mind or I'm drunk and bored... P+R pretty much the same. The Serious Football side of the House should be pretty much clear of anything but serious football talk - once next Season actually starts I'm not going to want to wade through a load of unrelated stuff there.

It ought to be pretty self evident what goes where I guess.
