Those were the seven words you can't say on TV, but now they say them on plain TV shows.

We look at the PG as it pertains to the movie and TV industry, and rightfully so, that where the term was originated.

However it really does not work on this site, because of the different thing allowed by PG rating in movies, and members believing that anything said in a PG movie is acceptable on this, and the moderators saying its not.

 

My intrupertation of what the moderators and Don are meaning, leave the profanity off of this site, just keep it clean.

 

So lets just forget the pg an keep it clean.

 

To the moderators.

You have to remember we have on this site members from different cultures, different countries, and religous backgrounds. When they see a thread such as this one, just a gentle reminder, they may truely have no Idea what post you are refering to.

Remember something one person finds completely obscene in one culture, may be perfectly acceptable in another.

There are general statments that are, for example, jokes in the Northern US that are killing words in the Southern US and vice versa.

I would not be in favor of a list of words not to use, that is not necessary. However when you are asked for a specific example from a member that is wondering if you are refering to them, or is unsure if they are posting something wrong, proper ediquite dictates that a proper example is given so the offence is clear and not repeated.

If we were all the same with the same beliefs and ideas, there would not be a problem, however there is a wide range of beliefs in this world, I think everyone on this site will be cooperative if they are clear and understand what is expected.

 

just my 2 cents.

Gregg,

You make some good points. The thing is though, it's not like people are publicly chastised or receive threatening emails when a mistake is made. They may receive an email telling them that it was slightly over the line but sometimes, the post is simply deleted. That alone should be an indication to them that they had pushed it a bit too far. If somebody were to be stubborn and keep trying it then there would probably be a more serious talk with them but that has not been a problem.

Oh come on now. Regardless of cultural differences everyone knows when something is over the line. I for one want to keep this site clean and free of porn or jokes/pics that cross the line. I enjoy the funny dirty stories and pics as much as the next guy but there are plenty of sites on the web for that. This is basically a site, in my humble opinion anyway, a place where family members can sit down and view without being offended.
