Oh the powers that be....could we have a land free of drama, wretchedly painful attempts at flirting, topic hi-jacking, ego's, 'cool kids', and horrendously awful posts that extend 6 inches but never say anything and require 4 read-thrus?
Oh wait, silly me-what the hell am I thinking, none of us would be allowed in (or if we were we'd eventually have our privileges revoked). AND it'd probably be boring. Nevermind.

I can guarantee that you won't have your privileges revoked if you choose not to participate in any of the things that you mentioned. What you can do, as some have done when starting threads, is request of your fellow forum members that they refrain from posting certain types of images, refrain from hijacking, etc. I believe that those requests will be respected.
Also, we have eliminated nudity and pornography in all but the restricted areas. We've also added a "Drama Queen" section for those members who need it.

Actually deputy, I came over in addition to remaining at O.com because I wanted to belong to a forum where topics weren't censored to the degree that a profession-related site has to- NOT because of the things I mentioned above.
And to be honest, this site seems to be developing some of the same dislikes I had at O.com such as: the same topics being posted over and over again, and a select few who are (what's this site call them? Drama Queens?) who must be the center of attention in EVERY thread regardless of if they have anything relevant to post or not.
While my initial post was certainly tongue in cheek, I (like everyone else) have pet peeves. Why are some indulged and others attacked for their quirks? Beats me. I generally try not to post in threads where I don't like what I'm reading (espeially when I know that if I create a thoughtful post that addresses my concerns or questions in regards to the thread...I'm going to be railroaded as some kind of Bo-die-esque wench by the 'cool kids'). HOWEVER, today I felt like speaking my mind and so I am. AND I'm almost certain that my point will be proven within one of the threads I've responded/created today. Not a problem because if I didn't like it to a degree where it truly bothered me, I'd quit coming. Hasn't happened yet though.
To the OP community at-large:
Take my posts as you see fit, just like I do with all of yours.

Buttercup,
Can we have a reasoning on this?

Can I ask one simple question???? Who gives a fuck?!!! Let people do what they want. If others don't like it, they can read elsewhere. Seems to me for "normal people" (if the is such a thing around here) come here to get away from the "walking the straight line of life". Forums add color to a mundane day. Why police it to death? Worse yet, why bitch about it.
I am trying my hardest not to prove her point.......... UH, ................
I understand but you know, that was a perfect case. It was out of context, and down right stupid question. Am I bitching? Nope. I just accept stupidity as a norm. And when someone actually steps out side the box and post some good shit, I'm happy to read it and in some cases it turns out to be one of those,,, "things that make you go hummmmmm". I mean come on, talk about color. This place does have just about everything in its little social structure of life.
all sexes and sexual prefs. Kat with her "unusual" man like logic. Zap, who will debate about the color of shit, you, who can take anything and turn it around so fast one could break a neck trying to keep an eye on it, Buttercup who seems to keep a certain amount of sophistication on things, MP who I still can't figurer out, photo who acts like she's just trying to have fun and avoids bullshit at every turn, plush who has re-written DNA which is now DN-ME-ME, and so on. COME ON!!!!! HOW COULD YOU WANT MORE???? LOL
I'm sorry, was I bitching? No, you were just saying that people who don't like something can read elsewhere. You didn't seem to like this thread, so I suggested you read elsewhere.

OK, I'll bite. How did it seem I didn't like THIS thread? I was simply giving my two cents on the exact topic this tread was on, or at least seemed to be. If I don't like something you will see quotes like, "This is bullshit!", "What kind of fucked up shit is that?" . And even then, that might be part of a debate. By not liking something, in the context that we seem to be talking about, I think something is so horrid that I feel compelled to pussy run to a mod to bitch, that is perhaps when I or anyone should do a about face. How can you disagree?

I tend to agree with E-con here.....If a thread runs in a direction you don't like you have 2 options, turn it back on track or move on to a different thread....seems simple enough. I like the variety around here and the fact that some people feel they can no longer just be themselves because it isn't "acceptible to the rest of the forum society"....that's crap in my opinion! I can see the moving of the XXX to restricted areas, but changing ones behavior/identity to suit the "masses".....that's just turning everyone into sheep and sheep are boring!

And your point is???? Don't have one? Well then shut up and I'll give you one!
I thought this is why the site is called "the other place". Members can just be who they are regardless of profession or sanity. You won't find any forum on the net free of some time of drama whether it is highly moderated or not. Personally, if I don't like it, I just don't read or post in it. Keep in mind, this is just the net so you get from it what you put in. Just a thought.
How can you disagree? In saying, "who gives a fuck?" and "why bitch about it?" you implied that this thread was not worthy of being read and possibly should not have been written. Since your point was that people should be able to write what they want, and others who don't like it should simply not read, it seemed logical to me that you should skip this thread and move on to another.

Yeah pussy run to a mod to bitch! If this was meant for me, as I've told you in PMs and in another thread, the only time I contacted the mods about you was the very first day you joined. I asked Photo is she was sure you weren't a troll who just joined the gay section to cause trouble. (I then PMed you with exactly the same question.) That is the only contact I've had with the mods regarding you or anyone else. I'm not going to waste one more minute of my time defending myself against your implications.
If this was not meant for me, then disregard.

Ok that was funny but now I am over it.Why wouldn't it be me me me? I live my life, I wake up in my body, all my non mememe time goes to my kids. So when I get on here I want to have fun. I could care less what people post. UsofA's pics and stuff do not bother me. His pics are quite tactful. Boys kiss boys and girls kiss girls. Been happening since we came into existence. No pun intended. I have seen some people post worse. As far as people posting nonsense. It is human nature to interject and have an opinion, hence the brain. I think this fucking topic has been beat to death and should be dropped. Who cares who was a "pussy" and ran to the mods? OMG I said I did it. Now vent and drop it. Lets get back to having fun people. And as far as you eltsacon, you are not me me me, because you are too busy being prick prick prick and bashing everyone else. Whisc shows there are worse people than me on here. My faults do not involve anyone else, and I do not try to make people feel stupid. Can you say that?
