Just a thought.

justincredible;436147 wrote:True. But my name calling and "personal attacks" are directed towards other members whom I am cordial with and it is not done in spite. I don't troll around threads looking to call people out that I hold a grudge against. I am sure that you'll go find an instance to dispute this so I'll take my lumps when you do.

As for the swearing, it's not necessarily something I'm willing to get rid of. I'd like to allow for individual users to filter out words they don't like reading but I am currently not willing to implement a site-wide swear filter.

You have fun trying to find your "niche".

I don't like when people throw out curse words left and right but it doesn't mean I'm going to cry about it to a moderater and try and have them banned.

Back on topic, even if new people come on here and can tell the difference between real put-downs and people playing around, sometimes seeing that many "inside" jabs and jokes makes it feel unwelcoming because it comes off as being "cliquey". But, I don't know that there's really a way to avoid that. All boards have that going on.

This site allows some of those to expand on their potty mouths and trolling. I can take it, but I can see how it turns people off. Many do not want to make a post because they are afraid of someone like Society, as an example, jumping all over them.
