Hey Guys, just wanted to shoot a reminder to all of you. Please don't use homophobic slurs on the open forum.

This becomes an issue with how credible the site looks if we have "***" all over the forums. Personally I have no issue with it but, I understand how it looks to advertisers, new members, etc.

Just be considerate of this "for the site". If you want to call somebody a complete moron hippy jerk. Go for it. Just please don't use ***.

I know this site is about being free and open and I've always enjoyed the aspect of it, but if it continues to be such a problem, perhaps it would be best to censor such words (I know theres a way around censors, but there's infractions for someone doing it such). Just an idea, I'm not advocating it yet.

That's not a bad idea. Maybe it's possible to set up a macro to turn certain words into "magical unicorn" or something ridiculous but not as inflammatory.

People need to get more creative and original with their knocks and putdowns.

We don't want to degenerate ourselves to the point where we all start calling each other things like asshole, jerk ass, asshat, and garbage ass.

While a great idea, I would hope people could just be courteous enough to understand where we're coming from and help us out.
