Completely agree. Trying to throw down rules on a group of people who break laws just for fun sounds like the most retarded concept in the world.
Our people need a place to rant and joke around about pussies and every other kind of obscenity. Its our nature.
Sucks that the owners of the forum seem to be more concerned with traffic flow -> $$ than with keeping its patrons happy.
I mean dude... no references to pedos?? wtf kinda rule is that? what is this world coming to?? Why don't you have a seat over there..
a few thoughts...
- the rules have been there ever since bj.com split off from dz.com (and might be exactly the same as dz.com, I don't know or care.)
- the rules are really designed to let the most people participate. base75 seemed to be a big reason Jason Bell does not post as much (although there could be other reasons...)
- users complain about the noise level. if people followed the rules, odds are the noise level would decrease.
- the only direction I've really ever received was to ensure civility on the forums by enforcing the rules. Namemedia had NEVER given me any guidance. thus any discussion of profit, corporate, etc., strikes me as incorrect.
- as the principle enforcer of "The Rules," I really try to avoid it. I understand there will always be a certain level of non-productive "push back." (and if I wanted "push back," I'd shag a sheep on a cliff edge...

)
now can we all hold hands and sing "Kumbaya?"
