Good job mike, but don't you think it's your responsibility to watch your kid and what he sees? so your going to tell me there are 2000 registered members and I have to watch my grammer for your child? I like the liberty of grammar here were all adults, I would hate to see myself get banned or barred for that. Trolls, BS posts, it's all fair game, I think you should re-think your grammar policy as the owner of this board could simply turn that option back on to ## out curses. Just my .02

i have 2 computers and one sits a bit behind the other. i really can't change the setup because there isn't enough room to rearrange. when the kid is sitting behind me i stay out of ramblings for obvious reasons
i didn't say stop cussing, i'd just like members to watch their language a little more.
cussing is not going to earn you any strikes or get you banned. sorry if it came across that way.

So I don't get another post locked for simply asking a question (where others throw racial slurs, swear words, etc.), please tell me the proper forum for asking "site related" question like ones about deleted posts, etc...

Yo Mike- if someone insults me I've got to retaliate. Sticks and stones may break your bones but words is all we got.

Pull, i locked the post because i answered your question and didn't want the thread to become inflammitory. I hope I didn't offend you cuz your posts are helpful and insightful.
If you have questions open a thread or you can always contact me and/or Astro via email.
I feel that we need to reign RS in for a bit until things get back to normal.

Yes, but you can retaliate but how about using some creativity instead of the brute force method?
You're more intelligent than your foe so make them look silly w/logic rather than belittling them and lowering yourself to their level.

cool?

careful, now... all this PWing and we'll be back up over our bandwidth limit again...

they'll shut us down for sure this time! ("it was just too popular a forum to deal with. all those posts, all those satisfied users. what a pain in the ass. {oops. I mean 'butt.'} next we'll shut down car talk, because that forum is by far the worst offender. there are like 100,000 posts in there! so damn popular! {I mean 'darn.'} who can keep up with all that! sheesh!")
