What smilies really mean

yes - obviously - but there were links posted before and they were removed, so, I still don't understand the reasoning behind it.

*gasp* now watch it............. (this actually had me cracking up ...)

I just explained the reason behind it, Kev being a prude

If something is deleted, like Jim's stories, and you want to know why or voice your displeasure about it, PM a mod instead of complaining about it after the fact in someone elses topic.

You have to understand that there aren't rules for every little thing around here, and sometimes it is left up to the moderators discretion. If you don't approve, then let people know when it happens so something can be done, which is what Neil has done in the past regarding his posts.

complaining??? Not sure what exactly you are referring to... maybe you could be a bit more specific in the future before I go off on tangents.

If anything, valid questions were raised - publically - and appropriately so. Pming a mod means nothing to the board - others that find the reasoning equally bizarre will still be in the dark about the rules.

I have absolutely no idea what pming a mod would accomplish - unless it is the original poster who wonders where their post went....

Personally, I am satisfied with goose's explanation.

Well only thing bother me people posting x rated things here is, it may get banned here coz most of porno and x-rated sites are banned, so really don;t want lose JT for that reason. So i say not post any of those things. If i would have been somewhere else, i never would have any probem.

Yeah, how about those?

Believe me, I wasn't 'questioning' your post because of the content - as far as I'm concerned you may post anything you want - but how it staying compares to what has been done regarding other, less explicit posts, that's all. But as Spunky said, if you decide to twist words and turn them into what you'd like us to say - go ahead. I know what I meant and if you can't understand it it's not my problem.

Your reasons for posting this weren't to make people laugh through the link, but to spark exactly this debate. But when people failed to say what you wanted them to, you twist their words so that they do say it anyway. Very clever

What ever you think of it , it brightened up my sunday morning

So if I made a thread and put in the title XXX Hardcore Porn I could post stuff and it wouldn't get deleted so long as it was cleary labelled? lol

Complaining or questioning, lets not get caught up in specifics as it wasn't meant as an insult.

PM'ing a mod gives other mods the opportunity to provide their input instead of just going by the whim of one person. Let me explain using Jim's stories as an example. If someone complains to a mod about the deletion of Jim's stories, a mod could bring it up to other mods and Peter in order to make a group decision about whether it was appropriate or not. Otherwise, it is just left up to one mod's discretion. If that mod deletes something, and nobody complains at the time, the mod assumes it was the right thing to do and will continue to do the same in the future. The situation could have been taken care of instantly, instead of days later.

Regardless, it was brought up here and you are satisified, even though, in Kev's defense, what Goose said about him is not the case as he wasn't the one who did it. All I am saying is that it is possible to excercise the above option in the future.

My POST wasn't explicit in the slightest. The image you get from the link is, the post isn't.

Oh come on. You're being paranoid. You really think I go about my day thinking about ways to start a debate? Grow up, will you. I was only trying to post something funny, but people like take all the fun out of it.
