QUOTE(pauligan @ Nov 5 2003, 11:35 AM)The pics viewed on the site to date have not offended me...
sometimes when people are fighting or waring or whatever, I get irritated at the way they treat each other...
The sexual stuff.. hey, fine by me, started a thread on it today.
Really takes alot, what offends me is the rudness... like that ROB_TR1 guy that is new that started a thread promoting his product as his first post... I was bugged, but didn't say anything. Mini found it and gave the guy a chance to comment on it (in the fishing board, I think) the guy didn't so mini erased the promotion... the guy went back in and edited it and said "nice guy, thanks" or something to that effect...
Thank you for reaffirming my actions. He did PM me and had other things to say, which will remain private. I did invite him back to post, that his input was wanted, and explained to him that the site is run on advertising and while his comments and questions are welcome, he should not "come out of the gate" advertising. Just another day in the life of a moderator I guess.
As far as objectionalble material, I have seen it here. I have seen it dealt with on other parts of the site too. I guess my feeling is that you have to try to imagine that this is your site and you are the one trying to obtain a manageable level of fun and clean representation. Potential sponsors and members can be easily turned off by some topcs/pics. If there is a questionable picture, it should be done with a link to an offsite gallery.....like BRBD has been doing. This leaves the choice to view soley on the visitor/member and removes the Lake St Clair Network from the equation.
Just my .02!
