    Can't we just allow Puppy to be racists and allow quad jokes? We are taking away from people's greatness here. What was wrong with the way it was? All the banhammerings and rules are leading this site down a slippery eel... Err, I mean slope.

    This is where I am at. Basically, a free for all as long as the rules are adhered to. If anyone recalls, here were DJ's original rules, and the ones STILL POSTED:

    1. No posting or linking of pornographic or explicit images and videos
    2. No blatant impersonations of someone you're not
    3. No cut and paste of Premium content from other websites

    Other than that, have fun!


    So, if PL_SS is getting time outs, we need new rules. And more rules puts us on a trajectory of no longer being a disgusting but fun place. Rock and a hard place. Before long our rules list will look like the Citrus trio's, and a couple years after that the thought police will be up our ass.

    In short, we're fucked. Slippery slope. Cry me a fucking river. The field. FYFMFE.

    I do not support racism but I do support homophobic slurs

    Is it really necessary to have a specific rule against racism? I would hope not.
    Is it necessary to have a rule supporting the 1st Amendment?

    This is a message board. Freedom of speech protects most things said, unless "management" says it isn't acceptable. DJ made clear that pornography, impersonations, and copyright infringements were not acceptable. You can get your panties in a twist, but the fact of that matter is we have board rules, and they should be amended to reflect what you can and cannot post here (broadly). How hard is it to say 4) No overtly racists comments?

    The boards that came before this one in the HHB world used to have plenty of "Romar's Monkeys" type bullshit, and the like. So, if you don't want it, amend the rules. Simple. And fuck off.

    It is an oft-used trope around here, but if this bored becomes another no-fun zone, I will be OUT
