Off_White Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Seems like folks need a bit of a refresher course on conduct here. Offensive, abusive, misogynist insults will get you banned. It's all covered in the user agreement you signed onto when you registered here. I've just banned a user for 24 hours for using the term "flapping cunt" as an insult towards another user. If you can't comprehend why this is unacceptable, if this is all too PC for you, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, we don't want you here. For your review, here is the code of conduct portion of the user agreement: Considering the real-time nature of this bulletin board, it is impossible for us to review messages or confirm the validity of information posted. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the contents of posted messages and are not responsible for any messages posted.

We have the ability to remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately. You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this BB to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.

Please note that advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, solicitations, and explicit pornography are inappropriate on this BB, and posting such content will get you banned from Cascadeclimbers.com.

So basically, please keep it clean, no personal attacks, no porn, no slander, and no posting of private communications (email, pm'z) and our little sandbox on the web will be nice and happy. **NOTE!

Those Columbia River/Beacon forum guys are gonna be pretty pissed when they see this. BTW, thanks! I've also noted that on that very same forum, Flapping cunt NOT allowed, Fuckwit!, IS allowed. am I also supposed to bend over while the fucker calls me a whiny bitch? fuckwit! Note to self, always use the word FUCKWIT! to call someone a name, (used in sentence "Rob is a FUCKWIT! for making fun of me") in place of Flapping cunt. Whew, so much to remember:-) Edited February 10, 2011 by billcoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I digress, but I'm totally reserving "flapping cunt" as the name of my first FA. Did everyone hear that? It's reserved. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_White Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Clearly, being an asshole and a wiseass is not prohibited in Spray. If you have any doubts about your judgment with regards to what constitutes an acceptable level of offensive language, feel free to PM one of the moderators or administrators.

j_b Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I think what you guys are totally missing is that 'flapping cunt', 'whiny bitch', etc are deliberately misogynist epithets. The entire purpose of these insults is indeed to convey the insulted that he is NOT A MAN, that he is second grade because he is A WOMAN, etc ... but do carry on missing the point.

As someone who would like to see us all use less shitty assed language and personal attacks, I'm OK with giving a time out, but in reviewing the terms posted up there, I don't see where it say's that a denigrating word that implies Misogyny is bad: but a word to denigrate in another manner, say, like ...ohhhh...FUCKWIT, is acceptable. ...jus sayin" .... Love all of you Clapping Funts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 What about PM's? Is it acceptable to tell someone to "fuck off" in a PM? should the mods be giving time outs for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) If you feel seriously abused via PM feel free to take it up privately with a mod or admin. If you feel threatened, absolutely take it up with one of us. PM's are different from public posting, and you have more control over whether you choose to read personal messages from specific individuals. Ditto for signatures - you have the option to not view signatures in the forums. Edited February 10, 2011 by Off_White Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_b Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Dude, if the use of all insults and personal attacks were a ban-able offense, I suspect there would hardly be a conservative left in spray as of 10 years ago. For the record, I started to use insults mostly as a defense mechanism about 1.5 year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you saying that saw these jackbooted regressions acting like pricks to other people and thought: "Ahhh haa", I can do that too? Take care!

If that were the case, if that rule were strictly enforced, there would be hardly anyone at all posting in Spray. Do you remember Mtn Goat? He was a conservative who tended to make long winded posts and always attempted to argue his points logically and politely. Others would heap insults on him, but he never played that game. Eventually he had enough and left this board years ago. I miss that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_b Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I don't miss that zealot one bit. He'd be eating crow right now after the way the Bush years went down, so would all the abusive conservatards who disappeared/changed handle.

Lucky Larry Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I told a potential enemy once that I loved them; it floored them. People in pain, for whatever reason, lash out and you just happen to be the person to lash. Language like I hate or you always or you never are just autonomic language , meaningless time fluff. People use language like tp; they wipe their asses with it and then throw it at you--does it stick? Why let it? Our culture is completely psychotic. It demands conformity while telling you your' special, uniquely you. Unless your outside the bell curve it's mostly a lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conservative clavern hasn't changed their argument points since Spray began - despite the world changing around them. Same talking points, same ideas, same waste of time.

Off_White Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Kevin, I know one of your kids is 3, but that doesn't mean you have to ask questions like a 3 year old. What do you think the answer to your question is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 *sigh* There you go with the reality check bummer again Hugh. I reckon you've got it figured out correctly. I don't think either side has changed their positions much. Still, I personally weary of the name calling, especially if its just artless blabber. If you're gonna poke someone with a stick, at least make an effort to put a clever point on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
