I didn't ask on the board because I wasn't a pussy about the deal. I had a problem. Rather than bitch and moan I found a solution that worked for everyone. I gave up the thought about censoring posts for swearing after about....well, 1 day as it was a losing battle. Hell, you probably didn't notice all the times I rehosted images on Kalnet to show that we're not bandwidth leeching cocksuckers. There are multiple issues we all have with the board. My solution often results in if I have a problem with something, I just don't view/use it. Everybody wins.
I don't understand the point of this part of the post...so you didn't like us swearing and leaching bandwidth and never did anything about it except change your own behaviour?
Why do the rest of us have to do the same thing. We have all created this community, and as such I do not see a problem with making changes to the board if the majority of people agree with them. No-one is talking about censorship here....it's just a simple warning that we're after.

And who's to define what's graphic? To me, for example, a picture of a pig with 1/2 its brain blown off, flopping around, and spraying blood all over a pen isn't graphic. I mean, shit, I did shoot the thing after all. Some PETA rep? They'd want my head on a platter.
Oh god, you've really got me on this one. It seems I've stumbled into a quagmire of ethics and censorship debate that I never considered....who's to say what's right and wrong in this crazy mixed up world, who am I to force my own moral judgement onto others.......
Oh, wait...I forgot, we're not a throng of faceless masses with an iron curtain shadow government pulling strings and supressing independent thought.
We all know each other. Hopefully well enough to judge what one of us may find offensive and to label it as such. And if you don't know the people on the board well enough to determine if someone might find what you are posting offensive, then read over past posts and I'm sure you'll figure it out pretty quick. Otherwise...when in doubt put a small warning of some kind in the post.

Hell, even the title conveys that I was somewhat disturbed by the link.

Lets take a look at the title:
The Title wrote:
"Errr...........Nobody Gets Hurt From Pot?"
I'm not really sure how this is supposed to warn me that I am about to see graphic pictures of a man mutilating his own sexual organs. Maybe it's just me, but this title doesn't even hint that the images will contain nudity, let alone what could only be described as graphic and possibly disturbing surgical photo's.

I'm the first to admit, I am brand spanking new to all this, but even *I* know what to expect from a link put up by Jason....
I seriously think everyone needs to calm down a wee bit.
The only person who seems to be getting really riled about this is Mr. "Shut the hell up" who posted above you. Maybe you should talk to him about it.

Ghost [PX] wrote:Furthermore, if you dont expect a picture posted by Jason to be NSFW then you're just Naive and quite possibly missing a few brain cells. "THE JEW" is synonymous with NSFW so why are you being so pissy about this?
You right, we have all known The JEW for quite sometime. Personally I have not come to expect every post he makes to contain images of a man cutting off his own penis. In the past he has posted some material which is similar to this (although not really the same on any lvl) and in those cases you'll find that I also requested that he include some kind of warning as to the content.
THE JEW (RaVeN) wrote:Posting this stuff does let you know that it does indeed go on. I wouldn't do most of the stuff that I post. However, it is informative. So when someone says "ya know, I bet no one would ever..........blah, blah, blah, blah" you can say "actually, this weird fucker I know called THE JEW showed me this article where.........." Ignorance of a matter does not make it go away. Knowledge of said thing allows one to attempt to correct it. Why is the messenger being shot over the deliverance of the message here? Go to the link and start yelling at the dude who's a few inches shorter. I don't have any to spare so ya won't ever see me doing this.
You are 100% correct in that this post was certainly informative, and I am not saying that you can't post any penis mutilation pictures in the future. This is not censorship. No-one is going to try to stop you from posting what ever you want. Just include a warning to give people who don't want to see it the chance to do just that.
