Roll Call of Fallen Commrades

[spookyturtle 9,465]

Too much intolerant partisan BS, I guess.

Mirrors the real world (here in the US) a little too much. Too much "politics" sucking the fun out of the place.

The fun has been sucked out of VJ. It has turned into a hate forum in some ways. Everyone here is connected to an immigrant or intending immigrant, a "minority" of some sort. But some minorities are better than others. You can't post ####### Cheney, but you can bash every race and religion. I'll bet there are some people who use this site that are members of the various races, religions and countries that get the hate. But evidently that is family friendly and the medical terms for the male and female sex organs is not. I wonder what members in the upper forums think when they visit the CEHST forum?

This forum certainly has.

Most of the participants here mirror the increasing polarization of politics in the US. Tolerance is a forgotten virtue, as is an open mind.

Sycophants abound, posting more as cheerleaders than individuals, padding threads with nothing more than echoes. Discussing the subject matter takes second place to dissing the poster, or the article author, or both. Personal civility has long been forgotten by most.

And all the cute cats are in Off Topic.

Since the last update, Karee and Bill. I think Harpa left a bit before them. Plus many regulars have been MIA for a while now. Now it's the same few people arguing about the same things day after day. Remember when this place used to fun?

AJ disappeared since February too.

.....and this is why this place isn't much fun anymore Spooky. First, they banned the booty shots, then they banned the bikini shots. Soon photos of any woman will be banned. Penguin will have to ban herself!

Wait! I think I found one that meets VJ's code. Or is she showing too much wrist?

What did I miss now?

You need to remember that you can't so much as blink around here, or you'll miss some little mini-drama.

I posted a woman in a cat costume. Whilst she was not fully clothed, she would have been legal in public.

Which brings me to a funny conclusion. Visa Journey appears to have the same rules of Saudi Arabia. Imagine that. Better cover up ladies, or the moderators will delete you.

Incidentally did anyone see that the TOS has been changed to include as TOS violations obscene language and evading the site language filter?

It's very ironic that the standard of what is family friendly doesn't follow the standards of what is considered family friendly in US culture - bikini shots and mild swear words feature in G and PG rated movies so exactly how does anyone reasonably define what is or isn't family friendly.

We are now in the territory of having community standards that don't reflect the cultural standards of the USA.

Imo the rules are now so complex and numerous that you really need a law degree to have any hope of applying them correctly and consistently.

For about 6 months my icon was Hokusai's Dream of a Fisherman's wife and no one noticed. (It is an image of an octopus performing cunnilingus on a woman from the early 19th century)

I'm sure that is taboo by now. I suspect I'd even get banned now for posting a Botticelli.

I miss my sig with the Juicy Couture sweats. Unfortunately ladies' clothed bums are rude.

Wait seriously? They made you take it off? This place really is Saudi.

Oh no, I wasn't asked to remove it. It was removed for me, most expeditiously.
