Yes, yes, I was an MP. Ya wanna make somethin' of it?! Don't make me come over there and cuff your a... uhhhh, buttocks Rayner! ;) :D

Josh,

Please read my updated post. I think we should get in touch with Henning regarding rules. I will definitely give my input.

Ranjan,

You're right, I do tend to repeat myself, but, it's only because the same issues keep creeping up.

Really, I'm not trying to bust anyone's chops. I just don't want my favorite place on the net to turn into a foul mouthed playground, where anything and everything goes.

It's nice to be able to have intelligent discussions, with intelligent people, that don't have to curse, or use inappropriate descriptions and topics to get their points across.

I spent 7 years in the military, where almost every other word was literally the "F-word". It's stupid, but that's how it was. After thinking on it a while, I realized that it's just the most lazy unintelligent way to express yourself, or your thoughts. If you (figurative you) can't think of a better way to bring emphasis across in how you speak and or write, other than to curse, you've lost the whole point of cursing in the first place, other than to be controversial, vane, or just plain want attention.


Anyway, as you said Ranjan... "end of rant".

Josh,

I get your point. You repeat the same thing over and over again as you have done in the past. You tend to make an issue out of the post even when it is not. That is why I said, you need to relax a bit :). If there is anything offensive on these forums, I am sure Henning will take necessary action. One cannot sit on these forums and police every word written. Having said this, it is also our judgement call to see if something obscene or offensive is written. Oh well end of rant, I did not post anything obscene/offensive:)

"Firstly, just because rules aren't listed here at DVD Town, doesn't mean there aren't any. " - Josh
I said in my previous post also where we had this debate. Where are the rules? It certainly cannot be based on an assumption that it is somewhere. If we are really want to follow through this, maybe we reader/staff should work on creating rules for posting on the forums. It will be a good start as rules will be created by regular readers and staff members.

Tim,

You are one! J/K. ;) :D


Ranjan,

Firstly, just because rules aren't listed here at DVD Town, doesn't mean there aren't any. You obviously missed the original thread, which escapes me at the moment, where all of this surfaced. The rules, and "spirit" behind the rules were laid down by the staff.

Secondly, you've more than likely heard the phrase "give them an inch, and they'll take a mile", yes? This idea applies here. Once a little slip in inappropriate subjects, or language starts, the next thing you know, we've turned into IMDB's boarads, or RT's boards. Personally, I really like the fact that we seem to have a higher class of people here at DVD Town, than anywhere else on the net. With the possible exception of our resident "Raynman" ;) :D

Seriously though, why turn our boards into everyone else's boards? People love coming to the DVD Town message boards because everyone is courteous, helpful, and we actually try to adhere to our own standards. I won't get into the whole arguement that led up to talking about the rules here, but, suffice it to say, DVD Town is not a Democracy, it's a privately owned site. That being said, every one of us that wants to post here, needs to adhere to the rules established by it's owner, and the staff here.

Maybe we can get Henning to list the rules for posting at DVD Town on the "Home" tab, or, at least somewhere on the page.

Tim :p :D:D

Josh,

This is not a family oriented site for sure. There are DVD reviews from Playboy mansion. Yes the idea is to keep obscenity away from these forums. Like I have said before, if you have rules for posting here at DVDtown, please share it:D. You just need to chill out and relax a bit.:).

--Ranjan

Let me try again:

Johansson's gluteus maximus was pretty nice in "Lost in Translation" though. ;) :)

Hey, let's get Eddie to see it! Eddie won't like it, he hates everything! :D:D:D
