NSFW stuff being censored on an online forum is kinda weird, idk. I know, it's the internet and if I wanted to see **** I could just Google it and stuff but what makes it weird is the censorship of such a "common" topic in a big place like the internet. I do agree that some borderline behaviors should be warned, yet there are other people who can actually have a sane discussion/talk over it. idk

Hype is actually hype tonight. I am choking...

I wonder what the April Fools joke is gonna be this year. Last year was kind of messy.

What we know it's that it'll be more like "May fools".

!!! this is a pop music forum, like...

WTF?

How the hell was that hostile? The word damn? Knowing that the complaints are both useless and pointless? Like, if that's hostile...

My apologies; I'm used to other, less mature members who can't drop it being serious about it.

Like, the topic needs to be dropped. It's overdone and we've had this discussion a hundred times. I've literally become a mod, spent a year as a mod, and spent four months off the job, with this discussion happening all throughout and well before. Like. Let it die, y'all.

You're damn right it's hostile, but it also wasn't directed toward you so the concern is unneeded. KOL can manage on his own.

(off topic: dog reactions weird me out because they're way too similar to human reactions )

I thought you could have dirty talk in the blogs? Keep it there, I guess.

Nah, it's banned sitewide now. Blogs are weird but it's off-limits there (and it's the thing most actively controlled in the blogs, because they are actually still way less moderated)

That's weird. I've been on other forums (like NeoGAF) where dirty talk is allowed in it's own community and there's never been any issue with ad servers and stuff. Oh well. It isn't that important to talk about sex on a pop culture/music forum, I guess, just seems odd to outright ban anything that isn't obscene.

Well, currently I'm just the irritable messenger, I can't speak in any official capacity on policies and such - but I do know they'll give the same reasons now as they did many months ago.

I sent in a help request almost 24 hours ago. Still nothing....

It often takes a couple days when it's not a super urgent request, don't worry!

Literally the blogs are moderated like normal forums, no **** but there's not too much filtered casual sex talk so it rarely gets out of hand. I'm being 100% serious when I say I've seen Pokémon forums with large member bases comparable to ATRL that are less strict about what can and can't be talked about
