And they keep up with the times! {Note: unacceptable. Lynn} [Edited by Lynn Bodoni on 05-12-2001 at 04:56 AM] ---

Both forums say that extreme hardcore pornography is not allowed. Isnā€™t that a rule? ---

**1flea** , thereā€™s a lot of folk who not only post to this board but to whatever else takes their fancy. As for ā€œtight assā€ rules ā€“ only if you want to be a _jerk_, my friend. And yes, youā€™re a newbie. Sorry to break it to you. Iā€™d suggest you hop off that pooch youā€™re on now before more oā€™ the flea powder gets to yer brain, friend ā€¦ ---

1flea, if the only reason you post is to criticize this board and/or the way itā€™s run, you will shortly find your privileges revoked. The sites that you posted are not appropriate for this message board. Donā€™t do it again. Lynn Bodoni Administrator For the Straight Dope ---

If there were no rules flea, that itself would be a rule, see? The board is like your house, you invite people in. You ask them to follow the house rules. Would one want guests who bring in hard core porno all the time? Course not. ---

Iā€™m already being treated bad just because of my opinion. I have been threatened with having my posting priveleges revoked because of my suggestiongs. Other boards I post to donā€™t edit my posts because they donā€™t worry about a little competition, unlike this board. Whatā€™s the deal? Here are the links again for you guys that didnā€™t get them before due to them being taken off. Just want to say itā€™s been nice! I probably wonā€™t be back since this will probably get me kicked off this board! ainā€™t gonna do it BAD ASS SITE nope ā€¦ wouldnā€™t be prudent VERY COOL! My last feeling on the subject, im not even going bother to read the replys so dont bother posting one cause this board SUX! [Edited by Eutychus55 on 05-12-2001 at 03:05 PM] ---

**1flea** , your links were edited _not_ because the SDMB canā€™t take competition, but because they contained inappropriate material (pornography, I infer\* from **ITR** ā€™s comment). There have been plenty of other message boards linked to here that are left alone. [sub]\*I did, by the way, get a look at this thread before your links in the OP were removed. Itā€™s not that I didnā€™t get a chance to see the URLs, itā€™s that I didnā€™t really feel like participating in any MBs endorsed by a nimrod.[/sub] Anyway, I find the critiques of newbies about the draconian rules on the SDMB highly suspect (especially when said newbie sole reason for posting is to spam the board with advertisements for other sites). I have see very few, if any. public message boards that contains actual discussion (as opposed to mainly spam and flaming and the like) with ā€œno rulesā€ and the SDMB has less stringent rules than most Iā€™ve seen. ---
