Well i guess theres nothing more to be said,...but i still disagree about this,...
fuck that.. i'll keep cussing.. that's me (as my avatar plainly states) but i didn't know this no swearing in the title thing was goign on.... so i promise to take that into account in the future (i know i've used the word fuck in many of my thread titles... guess i never really noticed 'em being changed?)
my personal stance on it is that it's stupid.. of course... i mean if the word fuck in a title is enough to offend someone, what are the chances that sparing that word in the title would keep them from being offended on a MJ site?
but, i do abide by rules, i and i like this place, and i very well know what sundance is up to... so if it helps to keep it clean, i will.
I agree with you, Oneironaut.. But it's their rules, so I'm willing to put up with a bunch of stuff that might bother me a bit because there's so little here that does bother me.. See what I mean? :p
Yeah, I'll follow it if that's what the mods want, but I still think it's a rather silly and arbitrary rule. Not to mention inconsistently applied.

Thanks for that handy list, Oneironaut! You've been very helpful in raising the level of discourse on the thread titles and keeping this place from looking so much like it's the domain of a bunch of profane stoner-kids. You may think this is silly or that it violates your right to free speech (as if that were a guaranteed right on a privately owned cannabis forum). Lots of members agree with you. But it's precisely this sort of subtle shift in language and image that makes a fundamental difference in how cannabis users and advocates are regarded by people looking in from the outside. Especially intelligent, motivated activist types. I include you in this group. It's the smart, civil ones among us and among the outsiders looking in who're going to help break through the traditional stoner stereotypes, adjust public attitudes, and eventually effect a change in the laws we all know are so absurd.
Well...Although you younger kids might appreciate the visual stimulation of "fuck" on the frontpage. Some of us older members don't want to see it. I don't think that people visiting the site need to be subjected to yuor vulgarity. Pot site or no.
Once again; I challenge you to show me sites worth visiting that allow this type of behavior. I know of none.
In closing: this is more than a done deal. It is not going to be tolerated.
How childish.
It's rather impressive to me how many folks fire right up when they smell a possible hit to their rights without once ever thinking about others. Gee, who could POSSIBLY be offended by the way I talk....fucking mom in the ass etc......and who cares what anyone else thinks anyway?
BG you had me going for awhile.....but lost me in the talk about having the right "look" for the site when that skull peers down on everything.....from everywhere. i'm not pointing at you for it since I know it was Sundance's choice but since you brought it up.....
So many people here (ie Oneironaut) who have so much great stuff to offer waste so much energy on this type of crap. We're all here together....any chance we could act like it?
there is a huge difference between cursing while expressing a thought, and cursing because you are trying to show your ass...it seems some people here feel a need to use fuck, cunt, and a million other words that there really isnt a need for..and stop comparing this to freedom of speech..noone is saying that you cant express what you want, we are saying that when it gets obnoxious and in your face like that, find another way....case closed....
as for the other posts we dont catch, there are umpteen posts and a handfull of us, we do the best we can....get over it...really...
