Ive been on other forums and while it can be a little petty here but, when there are no civility rules the forum gets taken over buy crude and immature behavior IMO. So compared to those with out such rules I prefer here.

Agreed but I still don't understand my first infraction thingee. I used a run of varied punctuation marks to express an expletive - a standard journalistic practice - rather that use the words I really wanted to. I did it on purpose because I knew the "bad words" rule. And I got one of those "Evading forum censor to use offensive language" dings. So I was infracted for censoring myself in order to comply with the rules? :blink:

And yet we have this => :censored: in the smilies?

I just learned to use bigger words instead.

That's just a full vehicular limit of bovine fecal material there it is!

Maybe you will. I used to be skinny til I started vaping. I have put on 20 lbs and I sure don't want to vape roast beef. I do it the old fashioned way, I eat it.

I'm hoping for the other way, if I feel like eating, I'll vape food and try to waste away... or is that waist away? Either way, I need to reduce my wasted waist!

Hmmm lets see.

I earned a week in the sin bin for getting into it with another very outspoken member here on the forums.

Got called out for warning people away from a Provari being sold in Joisey....after the floods.

and have received a few warnings for my blunt nature.

I dont envy the mods their jobs one bit and am glad they are here even if we do sometimes have a difference of opinion.

Isn't it amazing how creative one can get when avoiding the censor? I actually think that these rules cause us to think more about how to say what we would really like to say, in a manner that doesn't offend ..... delicate sensibilities :laugh:
