I have NEVER reported anything until today and now this is #2...do you realize her relatives read this site. I am one of them and VERY offended. Pull this thread or I will see to it that others find out that this is the kind of crappy site you have

Lame. I guess I have to ban all "Would you hit this" threads for fear of offending their family.

I got that too, so I unapproved it so Justin would make a decision on it.

No reason to un-approve it. It doesn't break any rules and she's of age. Who cares if people she knows might read this site. She's a celebrity... it comes with the territory.

And apparently has a family member !!!ON THIS DAMN SITE!!! who ain't playin' no mo!!!!

I say to tell him to tell everyone he wants about how we're all evil and shit. At the least, it will be a temporary bump in traffic with all them wanting to see what people are saying about her. And if we're really lucky, some of them will decide to start a flame war out of butthurtedness for epic lulz.

Really? We're just going to start bending to the whims of individuals when they complain?

I think that's bad practice and sets a terrible precedent.

Yeah, I know.

It also sets a terrible precedent when mods post the most "offensive" stuff on some threads. I know this place is just for fun and bullshitting and what-not but at least show a little restraint when posting (not directed at you fly).

Yeah, I refrained from trying to piss him off more, I was just trying to tell him to realize that the girl is known nationally and there is no stopping people from talking about her.

I agree with your point about Mods that they shouldn't be on the front-lines of making this place edgy with their offensive comments and language.

But I completely disagree with the idea that the thread should be closed. I say remove the mod posts that are over the line and keep it up.

She's a celebrity and that thread has been done countless times for other celebrities.

Also, sorry about re-approving the post. I didn't think it was you who originally unapproved (didn't check the Mod-CP). But I also didn't think the thread needed ninja'd so I put it back out there. My mistake.

I agree with this. Mods should try to show a little restraint and not stir the pot too much on these sort of things (within reason), but I don't think we should close the thread. If we start closing threads for these reasons, it becomes a slippery slope and can simply engender more complaints. It may be better just to let one guy be pissed off than have to become JJHuddle-ish in modding everything.

I'll admit it! I'm one of them! :p OK..not so much anymore..and I didn't really ever post anything 'offensive', but I definitely have had my share of pissing matches b/c I'm so fucking stubborn! I've actually tried to tone that down A LOT! (And I must say I've succeeded! YAY ME!) OK..continue on bitches...

We're all winners!!!

Except me because Justin designed his new software to lock me out, as I still am getting the "FUCK YOU I'M AN ANTEATER!" message telling me I'm burning through log-in attempts faster than my weed stash.

I agree with the mods stepping back part. I'm as opinionated and as bull-headed as they come, but you'd definitely not get that from most of my posts. Some of the stuff we (and I'll say we to make it sound like I'm complaining about the moderators as a collective unit, but you all know who I'm talking about...and yes, I'm looking at you Fly4Fun :p) put out there is just asinine.

I look at this like I look at my job...not that my job is as cool as moderating...I see dumbasses all day. I listen to their BS, and I pretend that I care. Really I want to tell them to do the world a favor and go play in traffic (and that's a vastly censored version of what i'd like to tell them) but I play nice and follow the rules and keep my opinion to myself.


As for closing the thread...no way in hell.

What if Nickleback's families are on this site and see the thread about them being the worst band of all time?
