I feel like Chiefsplanet is a little world where I'm allowed to be myself among people who can also be themselves without fear that they are breaking the rules or being censored. That's why we all left the Star board in the first place.
I'm not saying that censoring a few words is as bad as what the Star board was doing, but I think it's a step in the wrong direction. I believe a good majority of the people on this board use these words on a regular basis, and even if they don't, few are probably offended just to see them. I also disagree that Chiefsplanet should be some kind of "clean" enviornment. We're a bunch of football fans that like women, and farts and shit. We shouldn't be ashamed of that. This is the place where we should CELEBRATE that. Having an optional filter (like we do) should be enough. Having the option of turning off signatures, avatars, and attachments (like we do) should be enough. Policing ourselves in regards to spam, trolls, and VERY offensive posters (like we do) should be enough. |

Just like Carlin says, "It's just a *****ing word! The word itself is okay, it's the context behind the word that isn't."

It's all about context, IMO. Everything. People need to look strongly at what people mean, and not exactly what people say... |

This board has been good at people being considerate. I haven't been around lately, but it's not too often that I see inappropriate language. I say, as long as we keep it to a minimum, the way things are should suffice. |

I use the above variation which in the last year has been plastered across every theatre marquee, screen and movie guide in the USA,don't see how it should be a problem here. Personally,I don't agree with the censorship issue and voted as such but alot of you were here long before I so I'll abide by whatever the final vote is. |

I fail to see your point... Stupidhead... ;) 1. I speak for everyone? -Nope, I offered my opinion. Am I still allowed to do that? 2. You are a football fan that doesn't like women, etc... -Never said you had to. But does the fact that you DON'T like women disallow us to celebrate the fact that most of us do? 3. Board has been good about being considerate... -Considerate of what? People's sensitivity to "inappropriate language?" Maybe you haven't seen the multiple threads about the word "fuck" recently. Regardless, if you are sensitive about those words (or pictures or anything else), it's up to you to avoid them through the means provided. IE: profanity filters, turning off avatars/sigs/attachments. It shouldn't, IMO, be up to us to protect you from things you don't like by ceasing. This board is built by and meant for adults who are responsible for what they do and see. Mcan stirring the pot a bit... |
