Fellow members: the language on the General Discussions forum as of late has become deplorable. Everyone seems to be trying to "push the envelope" as far as they can as far as using off-color language goes. While some "colorful metaphors" are allowed, I think Ziroc has made his position on this perfectly clear. Ziroc has closed and deleted threads before that used foul or profane language.
As a general rule of thumb, these type of terms are to be AVOIDED when posting: 1) The f-word. I think everyone knows what I mean on this one. 2) Any blatant sexual or pornographic terms or phrases, including scatology. 3) Racist, sexist, or other hate-oriented terms. PLEASE edit yourselves, guys! This forum is ONLY as good as you allow it to be. Even if you're angry, put in asterisks if you feel the need to "sound off". Believe me, the recipient will "get the message." This isn't private e-mail. We do have kids reading this forum. To summarize: Ironworks is NOT the great cosmic TOILET. Stop treating it as such! Thanks, http://www.wizardrealm.com/images/saz.gif |
<h2>THANK YOU , SAZ!</h2>

Thanks Sazerac.
I know your not a mod on the BG2 board but the same post you edited in Magic Leather Collar thread exists in the BG2 bar. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/DRUIDD.gif |

Just as another RULE OF THUMB:
Please do NOT make attacks, even in "joke", about real people who are not here, ESPECIALLY if those attacks are in considerably questionable taste. http://www.wizardrealm.com/images/saz.gif |
Sazerac I whole heartedly second your posts. Because I specialise in innuendo some people may think I am a hypocrite saying this. However I never post anything other than a double entendre and never use specific images or language. If you are responding to me, I would appreciate it if you keep to the same limits.
I "run" a few bars, and also mod and admin on some boards. I always come down heavily on anything that cannot be read by a 12 year old, and also on anything that is personally offensive. This might not be that obviuos as I tend to use humour to control the punters. So please no anti gay jokes, no rape jokes, and my pet hate - no mental illness jokes. ------------------ There is only one kiwidoc, accept no substitutes http://www.drhope.fsnet.co.uk/doctor.gif STANDARD OPERATING PROCEEDURE www.judyhope.co.uk |
I edited the post myself Sazerac.

Thanks, Kiwidoc, for your support.
I have just finished cleaning up the "Collar" thread. Jabidas, there are still some rather compromising statements in your posts in that thread. I would suggest that you clean them up quite a bit and remove some of the offending material, including the slurs against Charlie. For the sake of the integrity of Wendy/LadyZekke's "adventure", I am NOT deleting those posts yet, but I will if those offending statements aren't "cleaned up". There is nothing wrong with good-natured bantering, "double-entendres" and the like. The problem is when it strays beyond the pall of what any rational person would consider to be "good taste." We're all intelligent people here. I know there are cultural differences, but please do keep other's sensibilities in mind. We are a community here, not a "private" network. Okay, I'm taking a break for a while. I'll be back on a little later before I head to bed. http://www.wizardrealm.com/images/saz.gif |

Sazerac, thank you for saying that. I've been worried about this too. I think what I'm going to do is start suspending accounts for 2 weeks at a time when people do it excessively.. This must STOP! Stop being excessive, and used as common as the word "The" or something. If you can't talk without cussing, I don't want you posting here, period. It makes the forums look like some trashy place, and that's not what Ironworks is.. So those of you that HAVE offended this policy (You know who you are), take notice, I'm gonna start suspending accounts at 2 weeks at a time for people that keep it up. Now stuff like 'damn' 'hell' and stuff are fine, and even sh** or in EXTREME cases other words when the situation warrants, but not as common speak. ------------------ Ziroc Ironworks Webmaster www.tgeweb.com/ironworks |
can we say arse(to replace ass)? Or can we say ass, or can we say neither(I am being quite serious)?

It is unfortunate that some people have to resort to off-color language in their posts. It is rarely, if ever, necessary to use such language. If there are those who cannot or will not refrain from such word usage, then a mandated break for them to consider their actions is warranted.
You have my support in this matter. <Table><TR><TD Style = Filter:glow(Color=white, strength=3)><h1><Font Size = 3 Color =000000>"A little sleep would be nice, about now!"</Font></h1></TD></table><marquee behavior=alternate>http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/noncgi/smiles/elf.gif</marquee> ------------------ http://www.clantoa.com/images/DawnChaserSig.gif |

If it's not too much of a problem, could we have a list of the words that are NOT allowed? It's just that sometimes you are unsure whether a word is allowed, like the ones Caleb mentioned.

Could people please keep this at the top for a few days. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Neb, any language that you would not use in mixed public company. This is all about commonsense and maturity which I hope most people would have. The type of language you would not use regularly in a professional work environment. This is not so much about using a profane word once or twice, but about people using them over and over and OVER again. This is when it begins to become a problem. ------------------ http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/genwalk.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/memname.gif [This message has been edited by Memnoch (edited 06-16-2001).] |

BTW I just read the whole thread and I am wondering....is/was there a problem with the Magical Collar thread? I hadn't seen that one so far and I just posted in it without reading the entire thing... ------------------ Melusine, High Queen of Fluffies, Archbabe of the Order of the Holy Flame and the Laughing Hyenas, & Official Entertainer Elf of the BG2 Bar http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/memnoch/mel1.gif Your voice is ambrosia |

The phrase is 'beyond the pale' The 'pale' (made of palings) was a fence surrounding something to keep what was inside safe. To go 'beyond the pale' was to go into dangerous territory. (This can be found specifically in Irish history). Hence the modern usage of the term. Sorry to be so picky, but it irritates me hugely! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/tongue.gif Anyway, this post will also serve as a BUMP! ------------------ http://www.ranchoweb.com/images/bg2guy/bitchingcopy.gif http://www.ranchoweb.com/images/bg2guy/fljotsdale.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...s/EEhearts.gif [This message has been edited by Fljotsdale (edited 06-16-2001).] |
The language in the Bar seems to crop up after I've gone to bed, as if people have figured the bartender's sleeping times. I do not like this, and I'm glad Saz has raised the issue

Sorry but what was too offensive in the collar thread, actually forget it im just going to go delete my entries.
Who the hell is Charlie its just someone I made up and has no reference to anyone on the board, Hell I dont even know a Charlie in real life so no offence intended but god know I got a lot of flaming over in the BG2 bar over something I thought came from my imagination. ------------------ http://www.facelink.com/edit/raw/raw...43/1922643.bmp |

IT all happened during my sleep period http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif but Charlie is also the name of an IW member too, so some people must have thought you were commenting about him |
Well I bloddy well wasnt, they couldnt just say wait a second are you talking about my friend who you never ever encountered in either the General discussion or Baldur2 forums, but no of course not it was feet in first screaming for blood. To hell with them anyway I deleted the posts entirly
------------------ http://www.facelink.com/edit/raw/raw...43/1922643.bmp |
jabidas,
personally I can't help but feel you're insulting the intelligence of the posters here, a quick search shows you posted in the same threads as Charlie on more than one occasion. Anyway, it's done, dusted and finished now. ------------------ It's bleedin dark down here, slippery too. http://www.planettribes.com/hosed/sm.../cwm/piss2.gif Man, that's a pisser. http://www.contrabandent.com/pez/cwm/cwm/piss.gif |
Where the hell did I post with him. Either way you shouldnt flame like that so quite frankly Go Away.
|
OK, that's enough. Do you realize which post you guys are starting to flame each other on? Or do you think that Saz types these notes out for no reason? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/mad111.gif
Cavern sniffer, the language you used at the BG2 Bar thread was not acceptable under ANY circumstances - even if you are defending a friend. Please don't direct any of that type of language to anyone here, censored or otherwise. Jabidas, when people are baiting you or flaming you, try not to rise to it. There is more courage displayed and respect earned in not responding than in responding. It's not about who can get the last word in. I will have the last word on this. I've had enough of all this, children, so quit it! ------------------ http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/genwalk.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/memname.gif |
Allright I obey the master and I will drop it now. btw Im still having trouble finding where i posted with him.
------------------ http://www.facelink.com/edit/raw/raw...43/1922643.bmp |
As I said it's done. jabidas, Sazerac, board members, please accept my humble apologies.
|
Tell that Charlie guy im sorry as well because I wasnt even aware he existed, where did I post with him though Im curious.
------------------ http://www.facelink.com/edit/raw/raw...43/1922643.bmp |
Temper it down.........tehre's no harm in a little emotion, but with an estimated average of about 200+ guests visiting here a day, we wouldn't want to deter them from Ironworks.
Plus, it's not encouraging for them to be a member either, which it what Ironworks prides itself on - a friendly, welcoming and delightful service: Damn! We even got a welcome wagon! See!http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif ------------------ http://www.gis.net/~yos/lichwah.gif http://www.btinternet.com/~GWah2/mygreetings01.gif http://www.btinternet.com/~GWah2/myname001.gif http://www.btinternet.com/~GWah2/finalarch.gif |
Nice one wah whenever i se a newbie I always greet them as well.
If Sazernac is around could someone ask him specificaly what was wrong with my posts in the collar thread, was it the first or second one. Id like to avoid future problems. ------------------ http://www.facelink.com/edit/raw/raw...43/1922643.bmp |
