Amazing...
We have someone start a thread complaining about "avatars" and provides no link or user name. I spend an hour or so looking for an avatar with dogs humping and find nothing.
Then a couple of other folks jump on, still talking about "avatars," complaining about boobs.
Ron weighs in, asking folks to PM either one of us and to provide a link or user name. Nobody does so.
Then I explain why it would be helpful if folks would give us some info we can act on, and also advise everyone that they can shut the damn avatars off.
Then the sicko
that evidently caused all of this with a humping/barfing dogs comes on to say he deleted it, but posts it in this thread. At least somebody has thought to give us info to work with, and I delete it immediately.
One poster...only one...acknowledges my information about shielding themselves from avatars, and uses it. Thank you and you're welcome.
Then we have folks start piling on about my own avatar, which has been on this site for seven years, and ignore the information I gave about blocking avatars. Take a look...most of these folks have been around for a few years but have few posts relative to their time here...which calls into question how much they have added to the site while they sit back and ask for censorship according to their own desires.
...and then we have someone pile on about some exchange he and I supposedly had some time ago about language. Truth be known, I did cut down on my language after his concern, but the poster failed to point that out...it's pile on time against a moderator now.
That doesn't bother me. What bothers me are folks who don't or can't read when a simple solution was provided. I'm even more bothered by low posters who start a thread or post complaining and then refuse to understand that this place is a community with folks of varying tastes.
Ron and I try to reach reasonable accommodations amongst you all...sometimes it's tougher to do than in other situations. But just ignoring controls or failing to read stickies and hitting us with threads like this instead of tapping the Report Post button, especially when you've been around here for years? And then not even knowing how to use your User Controls? And then not reading when it's explained? Understandable for newbies, but you know-it-alls who pronounce what they theink is right and good have several years under your belt, and you still can't read?
Guess what...our PMs get full because folks don't read first, or fail to give us info to act on, or simply want to complain about minor little things. And you complain if we don't act fast enough?
...and that's all fine...but our service to you is only as good as you make it.
Learn to read, and stop presuming your way is the best way. We don't allow full-on porn or anything that is just outright disgusting to the majority of the population here.
That's it.
