ClassicsDiscuss, I love the openess of the forum and all, but damn. (slightly NWS) at General Discussion forum; http://forum.alcoholreport.com/t9832/
Seriously, how the fuck do you think this site looks to visitors with shit like ...
Pathetic, which is why I try to ignore it, hopefully if these posts stop garnering responses they will move on to something else to get a rise out of people

I agree, but I'm afraid they will never reach that point. It's like a 5 yo that just learned a new curse word.
Visitors get the word censor, but yeah, I know what you're saying.
It's just a little much IMO. 89 threads on AR with the word in it, 7 on LS2. That of course is not counting on the intentional misspellings. And I realize that LS2 would have more if it were more open like here, but I just think it presents a horrible image to the general public that may browse the site and think about joining.

IMO, it's fine to make a joke in a thread, but a whole thread about it is tactless and humorless. Mind you, this is coming from a guy that almost fell off his chair laughing at the idea of a dog getting punched in the face so it should really say something

That's tough. On one hand I know that you in no way want to become heavy handed on any "censorship" type things, but I think it detracts from the site for current members, and especially for new prospective users. I'm sure that it's even possible that it could turn off sponsors or negatively affect the sites relationship with Google if it were to be seen by the wrong person and they complained to Google or some s*** like that.
The only thing I could propose is to crack down on the blatant abuse but the degenerate idiots like the above mentioned threads. It serves 0 purpose what so ever.

Agreed. I was thinking the same thing as well. If AJ wants to come into a thread and give a "Nigga Please" to a post....by all means do it. When I see threads with that word all over it as soon as the forum loads, Im watching my shoulder to make sure nobody sees it. There are quite a few black people who work around me. On top of that, our agency just recently got out of a lawsuit from some black people over supposed racial discrimination.

It is just their way of showing their immaturity.. I completely agree with you though.

Good point, didn't think about it from that angle, but I would hate for someone to look over my shoulder and see it plastered all over the screen.
Don't like being an example of a f***ing mornoic dolt, don't post s*** that qualifies you as such. It's not only the thread but the responses in it.
Listen pal, look at the time that was posted and take the whole thing into context or else you are just stereotyping me and I WILL go out of my way to retrun the favor..got it?
My thread was of ZERO racist motivation and I take great offense to you implying that bulls***.
You got a Board full of people that talk about sucking each other d***s..calling everyones mom a c*** w**** bag cum guzzling prostitute...I don't even feel the need to explain the random "I raped your sister" titles running around.
You wanna play police then get busy!
Just make sure you pick one out that makes sense with your point.

I see that you didn't properly comprehend my previous post. Don't post s*** like that and no assumptions can be made, correct? Correct. You weren't singled out, it just so happens that yours was the thread that brought me to the point that I wanted to creat this thread. Don't like it? Don't post s*** like that.
Your thread is the PERFECT example of what I'm talking about. It was posted right there on the front page of the Barstool for all to see, guests and members alike. The actual meaning or intent is moot, by it's very existance, it could have alienated prospective users and/or sponsors.
I think that I'm going to let things continue as they have been. If a member is being a giant douchebag, the other members should harass him relentlessly about it, self policing the forum, so to speak.
Ugly words don't appear in thread titles all that often, so unless they start to, I see no reason to start making a big deal out of it.
Kyle, I definitely see your point though. Even I spent less time here at work yesterday because of that. I didn't want one of my coworkers to see it.

Okay let me back up a second and grab a breathe here..I never called Hemi a gigantic flaming p**** for making this thread as we all should be allowed to voice our opinions openly without constently being called out towards a different direction..wiht a board full of lippy 20 yr odls that will happen...as it does here.But whatever.
With that being said, My "thread" was an EXTREMELY bad choice for Hemi to use to drive home his point....his use of my thread is the exact problem with rasicm.It is the height of stupid to use a name and take it out of context to use for your own personal agenda.

I can see your point and I agree just on that...see if you can find mine.

Once again, you are missing my point. No where have I said anyone is racist. My point is that s*** like your thread is bad for the site. Now stop having a s*** fit and read what I am writing.
Kinda what I was getting at, but I think your solution will probably be adequate.
Yesterday was the first time it's been an issue for me. If it starts being a regular thing, I'll probably be forced to do something about it. I don't want people to be afraid to browse at work. Sure, you could use the word censor, but I hate using that, so I don't blame anyone else for not wanting to use it.
People are f***ing p**** and morons. They act all tough on a message bored but wouldn't dare say that s*** to a black persons face. You f***ing e tough f**gots, I would LOVE to see anyone who acts like that give beat the piss out of by a black person.

How many times are you gonna say that same damn phrase?

Trust me....they do the same...whether it be around their friends, family members or whoever.
Plenty of racist remarks. The terms cracka and honkey aren't uncommon at all for blacks to use. Im not offended by them. If they can use it, I can use n*****.

White people aren't offended by the word "cracka". The term "n*****" is a racist remark meant to put down black people, and they use "niggA".
