Just wondering why we have this smiley here when we pride ourselves on being a community above typical internet boards.

:stfu:

Don't get me wrong, I really don't care too much- but seems kind of contradictory to new members who we advise against using certain acronyms.

I am with you as I am one of those new members that didn't realize how offensive I was when I used those acronyms. :/

(It mainly was an inside joke between all of us and wasn't meant to start anything)

But I do think that's a little contradicting.

I thought that smiley had been removed honestly.

edit: and now it has. I remember removing it once, maybe the last crash it got recovered when the database was restored or something.

I thought the 'F' in STFU stood for frick.

Like Shut the frick up.

That's not family oriented? I know I tell it to my kids all the time.

Seems like the last few months has had more tightening up than the previous years ever had.

The stfu smiley was for those times when the joke was meant in good humor - and taken that way - without actually saying the words. And honestly, I have never seen it used in an aggressive, offensive way.

I appreciate the level of civility on tms, but if I wanted a church forum - or a child's forum - I'd sign on to one. IMO

It seems we are already headed down the proverbial slippery slope.

Is it really appropriate to have a smiley then Scothew. Or how about the smiley. That's not very appropriate for a family site.

And the same could be said for...

Don't judge me. Thou shalt not judge lest ye be judged yourself.

"You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me,"

Clearly promotes orgies!

Fighting is wrong

Making fun of nerds.

Clearly unsafe driving habits for a forum against street racing

Violence to women

Violence to children

Burning people alive! WTF!

Stands for bullsh!t! Just as bad as STFU

Perv!

Where I used to go to church they didn't allow dancing. Leads impure thoughts and the appearance of evil.

Clearly and unsafe practice.

Also just as bad as STFU. Uses the 'F' word.

:gay: Actually this one is good. **** butt pirates.

Name calling.

More drunkenness.

Making fun of epileptics.

Domestic violence.

Masochism.

Not PC. The US people are no better than any other people. I'm just saying what Obama says.

Making fun of narcolepsy.

So what's left?

Making fun of people with mental illness

Looks like ole headbob is flashing the sign of the devil

Promoting gun violence

Not appropriate for a site that welcomes new members.

and...

Making fun of Obama supporters?


However - this applies to all of the above =

Glad we could help. Hair is overrated anyway. You don't need any, you're married.
