It wasn't later's complaining that caused it to happen. I had several PMs from different people and had to carefully consider several different factors in deciding to lock the thread.

[Peace Of Mind]

Or calm and rational conversation on P & M. That's what people come back for. The mood and ambiance. Oh, and the drugs and rock and roll. ;P I was head banging and hurt myself. LOL!!!

If you don't like the subject of a thread, move on...find a place you do feel comfortable.

To whom ever, if you don't like it move on.

I didn't receive any PM"s or complaints and didn't see where it was getting out of hand. It would have run its course soon - or gone off topic in true EE style.

[moon/Laura]

i, too, got a PM complaining.. i also read several negative comments on it.. therefore, i suggested to J that we might want to lock it up..it IS a valid point that if someone new comes here and is trying to decide whether or not to stay, the assumed subject matter may well be a deciding factor against doing so.

everyone knew that this was really on the edge as it was, so it shouldn't be a surprise..

Even taxman had acknowledged to me earlier today that he understood the thread would probably have to be locked down.

I was actually impressed that the thread had stayed on topic as long as it had. That's a record for EE.

Well, considering the topic...

Ha I guess I must be special or a slacker I don't like something I quit reading it and quit posting to it. Yeah it was on edge but I don't think it had gone completely over the line. Not that my opinion matters bc those who were so deeply offended complained. If someone can't laugh at that poll I doubt they are the kind of people I want to hang around.

It really isn't a suprise that it was taken down, but if that is the rationale, it probably should have been taken down as soon as it was started. We were just having fun and it was edgy but most of the threads have been similiar to this. I won't complain anymore though. We need to trust the moderators decisions.

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

I was uncomfortable and feeling I wouldn't 'fit in' at first and wondered about certain discussions on the old EE, and it takes time to feel comfortable with a group of strangers if you're a newbie. But as they say, you can't please everyone all the time. It's either something for you or it isn't. If you don't like a certain thread, and if it's not offensive to most, then just don't participate in it. (IMHO as a poster). But if enough complaints are received and if they're warranted, then locking the discussion is most likely going to happen.

In protest of the locking of the thread.. I have changed my avatar... to... boobie under cleavage! MWAHAHAHA!

[wvugurl26]

I like that avatar Loop! ;D

Even taxman had acknowledged to me earlier today that he understood the thread would probably have to be locked down.

Then you have to wonder why he posted it in the first place? Waste of time for the mods monitoring a thread that is edgy to begin with.

[The J]

Eh....I had nothing else to do at work today

[wvugurl26]

Overpaid slacker wasting goverment funds

[suzwantstobefree]

And you enjoyed every minute of that thread too Seriously though, you made your decision and we need to trust you and the other moderators to do what is in the best interest of this board and our posters.

[Peace Of Mind]

Well, I, for one, thought we behaved beautifully and, for us, didn't cross our usual line. But I'm pretty sure I'm not being objective about it.

I understand the position the mods are in and we do want more victims to come here, don't we?

[Loopdilou]

Harhar.. Nevermind.. I've got better pics of booby under-cleavage - and Stormtrooper chicks are HAWT!

I'm having avatar meltdown.

[Sammy]

Slacker!!!

Loopy, LMAO!! You're still looking at avatars, aren't you? I did that too a couple of times. ;D

[The J]

To be honest, if it was simply a personal decision, I would've let the thread go on. It was close to the line, but I didn't feel it had crossed it, and it did actually help keep some of the other EE threads on topic. But I have to balance the interests of the site and of ALL the posters. Moon and I discussed it, and determined that locking the thread was in the best interests of the site, so it had to be done.

[suzwantstobefree]

Besides, we need another controversy The others had run there course.

<snuggle snuggle> <mmm, this feels so good>

[Loopdilou]

I'll probably go back to my original avatar sooner rather than later, but it's fun to switch it up now and again, I guess.

Mods, I understand why you locked the thread. I just don't understand why some posters have to stalk the racy threads and post on them saying how we aren't their kind of people.

Because it's a fun way to spend a Friday night?
