QuoteOn the whole, I would have to agree...  Censorship starts within.  Don't like it?  Turn it off, look elsewhere, ignore it...

My point exactly.  Thank You.   If this is the case then why do we need a third party who "interprets" what is considered offensive Vs. non-offensive.  Rather ironic.   Believe me; nothing I have read on this board even comes close to offending me.  Honestly, I think society has become so self centered, sensitive and PC that everything offends everyone these days.    Just curious thanks.

No matter if they do or not, its still a private forum. Shawn's the head admin last I checked.

Point being that I'm one of two moderators of the NEAR List and owner/co-moderator of the NERL List. If I said LRRS owned either one of them, I'd get a flurry of private emails from those above me because my actions would be construed as official policy. Now by being "unofficial", I have a lot more leeway!  ;D
What's funny was that the NERL List was started by a bunch of people who got kicked off of the NEAR List. Both lists are now run by the same two people! I keep NERL going as a place to dump the off-topic things that cause hissy-fits over at NEAR (Paris Hilton links, dirty jokes, full blown flame wars, etc.)

Thanks for the support everyone.....

... Yes, this is the unoffical forum of CCS, but like having to wear a tie at certain restaurants, this forum has general feel to it and I was asked to keep it that way.

There's enough garbage out there, let's keep this board clean and fun.

Based on your post, this forum may be closer the the NEAR list.

It's a straight email list with no bells and whistles. The Yahoo Club that NEAR is on is a nightmare at times. It even booted ME once!

I hate censorship as well, that said...

The problem with "if you don't like it, don't read it" is that if the nonsense gets real out of hand, no one will want to read anything. This is a pleasant, active board, read by more than just the folks who post here most often. Some of them only have access at work.

Dawn tries not to censor anything, but if she gets enough emails that something is offensive, then she will use her super forum powers to zap the offending word or thread. I know she's often let stuff slip that those clever members out there have written specifically to get around the auto-censor.(myself included) I find the occasional use of administrative perogative a better solution to just banning folks outright.

There is no FAQ for this board, and if everyone uses some common sense, there won;t be a need for one.

The news you watch uses censorship, the movies have ratings and the FCC has guidelines. I would think that the participants here would have enough maturity and respect for the others who participate to do a little self censorship. You can get a point accross many time without the use of racial slurs or sexual blatancy. Most times to better effect.

Do or do not, there is no "try".
