Profanity Thread

Post by Garr »

The thread has been moved while we work on the policy. If you have any comments or questions regarding the profanity filters, adult content, or how we moderate such material, please feel free to send me a private message or post here for discussion.

Please remember that we are trying to build a community of musicians here which may include minors or parents who share things on this site with their families. While we do let many adult content threads go without strict moderation, we do this on a thread by thread basis as we evaluate the individual merits of those posts. I am just as guilty of partaking in adult humor as anyone else, so I want to clarify that such threads that get out of hand or are a blatant abuse of filters and policies will be moderated accordingly.

Thank you for understanding, and please, feel free to express yourselves as you see fit. Just agree to use good judgment, let the filters do their jobs and try to respect our younger or more prudish users.

Thanks,

Garr

Alright questions...

1. Is it acceptable to call someone a vagina, since it is not filtered?

2. What exactly is b*tch-Ass?

Several posts moved because they're trying to instigate problems. Knock it off children.

To answer your questions:

1. Calling someone a vagina would be against the ToS for the violation of this clause:
ToS wrote:You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated or any other material that may violate any applicable laws.
The use of that word, or p*nis, to me is acceptable when used for describing those anatomical parts.

2. I have NO idea. Someone is going crazy on the filter settings and is about to get b*tch-slapped.

I notice a post was (maybe) frozen and deleted cause a band used the term "Rape rock". Now lemme get this straight "Death Metal" is okay (often talking about killing people, dragging them down to hell, etc..), but you draw the line at rape? "Go ahead and talk about maiming, goring, murdering, but touching someones genitalia while doing it is just going too far."

I don't get it...

You don't get it huh?

Probably because you think rape means to touch someone else's genitalia...

On Edit:

A lot of people on this site found it very offensive that someone was promoting "RAPE ROCK". So the thread was locked and moved, after the show had already passed. There was no reason to keep it open and in the future anyone promoting "RAPE" will be warned and their thread will be locked and moved. We do not delete any of the threads, we just move them out of the public's site.

When people start complaining about the phrase "DEATH METAL" and becoming offended by it, we will address it then.

Um I did say WHILE you were maiming, goring and killing. read much?

Im pretty sure if you were maiming someone, goring them, and killing them, and doin stuff to their downstairs at the same time, it would be rape.

It's not the content of the lyrics that were objected to. We actively support free speech and are opposed to censorship of lyrics. The objection was to the term "RAPE ROCK". We, as a staff, decided to move the thread after the show was over and ask that the description not be used again.

This site is entirely funded by one person who provides the service free of charge to you, so he could censor any speech he felt entitled to censor. He chooses to allow the free discourse of ideas here and has given the staff decision making power when it comes to moderating the forum. We felt it inappropriate, to say the least. It was a group decision based upon the sensibilities of many of our subscribers. Please take any further discussion of this topic to PM if you please as I am done discussing it publicly.

How about adding the word rape to a profanity filter as well?

No. There may be times that rape would come up in a discussion legitimately and I think it would be distracting to see "Duke R#%^& Accuser..." Normal, rational adults can mention rape without promoting it or glorifying it. It's simple, if that is posted again (or something similar) it will be deleted and the person posting it faces a temporary ban.
