I miss the "intelligent word filter" that would turn whore into "nice lady" and smurf into...well, I can't remember that one.  Any chance on getting that one back for a while?

edit--WHOA, whore is uncensored now???

MysticCow, now that you're 'back' and posting up one hellacious catchup run, be advised the Mods rather frown on resurrecting zombies, currently pegged at around the two month mark, without a particularly good reason. You can't really make up for 4 years of absence, you know.

(I think you'll also find yourself a bit out of step with current thinking hereabouts. Things, people, attitudes change. Some of your posts seem eerily like they've timewarped from when you left).

Also, Yosemite sturner

It has to be someone's job to rattle cages.

I will be a "Team Leader" ie the guy right under the "Junior Assistant Poobah"

Or maybe Regional Area Consultant to Any and All Poobahs ... RACAAP

Why is this?

You mean back when it was called BroadsheetAddict?

Those were the days.

So did Claris bark or low, or a combination of both?

Soorrrry. Claris is the software company, Clarus is the dog-cow.

Oh, marklar! All you  marklar marklars need to marklar the marklar up.

Now I do remember when this site was first starting up.... the days when [UT] was the rage and was one, if not the hottest topic. Even remember when they where talking about shutting down the website altogether. (correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they do it for a very short period?)

My son who was pretty young at the time, he enjoyed posting in the forum and I didn't have to worry what was said. Now people curse just to curse. It's not always needed to be put in a post to explain what you mean. With that said, myself included... have cursed out of anger. But to me to curse every other word in a calm conversation is unneeded and just shows the lack of knowing how to speak the English language without cursing.

Would you speak like that in a job interview? **truthfully**
Not even adding all the family you respect.
Now I know these are forums are where people can come, relax, help people with their mac's and post their feeling about what is happening in their life as well as around the country, and that's cool. But to curse every other word is unnecessary.

Cursing has always been allowed here. That's why filters are in place. Now, if you're swearing just to swear, that's another story

Think again, the filters where in place to stop this. People have left MacAddict/Maclife magazine for other opportunity's and things have changed over this time and not all positive. Also have you ever read some posts in some threads?

This is also not the forum to discuss this in.

Ummm, this is the "forum feedback" Forum is it not??

justine wrote:

I also don't believe young kids belong in these forums at all

So do mean that if a new mac user who wants to join in on this site and forums (because one part shows what Maclife is all about as a whole) needs to have to tolerate unnecessary constant cursing (for no reason) adult or young adult alike? Some threads and posts are very interesting and should not turn into the "battle of the curse word all stars".

We did, tho, have a recent complaint on those lines, about another Unplugged thread. Longtime, if not very prolific member.

In that post she does not speak about what language is/is not allowed.

If the magazine editors have no problem with it, then members shouldn't either.

You mean then there is no need for mods, the mods are here to look and judge weather this post or thread is appropriate. So that would mean if it's O.K. with the mods, it's O.K. for the site and members have to tolerate it. I maybe wrong but I can't see the Maclife staff reading every reply posted in a thread, and rely on the mods to watch what is going on in the forums.

First of all, you quoted me saying this was not the right forum to post this in. You came to the game really late. This thread didn't start here.


When i said young kids didn't belong here, i meant it. There's nothing to offer a young child that a parent can't get for them. If they're at least the minimum age, then they've already heard it all before. If you don't like it, turn the filters on. There's a lot worse on these forums than a few curse words. By the way, show me a post where the poster is swearing every other word and it'll be taken care of.

If you have a problem with the content of the threads/posts and the way the mods handle it, then you can email the powers that be, which starts with Roberto Baldwin.

There are report buttons anytime you want to report a post, and if you don't like the way the mods handle it, email Roberto.

You know, you're welcome to go elsewhere if you don't like the content on these forums. I really don't know what more you want or what you expect to happen. It is what it is, and quite frankly, it's not likely to change.
