can you people learn how to quote properly so it's easy to tell it;s a quote? I wouldn't hold my breath. I figured as much, but it was worth a try.

It was my fault that that thread got closed?
Can I at least blame Loony for getting me all worked up?

no. you're (supposedly) an adult. as such, you should have enough control over yourself to refrain from making comments you know are against the rules. it's not like you haven't been warned many times already.

And you just said that to Archie. That might be the funniest thing I read all day (outside of Loony's "accounting" posts). And I know it wasn't supposed to be. ;D

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Y'know, Moonbeam might not pay much attention to insults and nastiness delivered by posters like Tloonya, but I do. I get my tail feathers in quite a ruffle when I see comments made that insult the person who worked (and continues to work) so darned hard to get these boards up and running so posters would have a place to go when MSN waltzed off into the sunset. It would seem to me a little gratitude and some effort to keep from doing stuff that you KNOW DAMNED WELL isn't PG-13, or breaks the CoC or ProBoards' ToS in some other way shouldn't be too much to ask. To me, this kind of thing isn't the least bit amusing. It's thoughtless, unkind, and blatantly childish. I guess that was my rant for the night, but ... well, it's the truth.

I really agree cause I have an idea how damn hard it is to run one of these Boards and to do so successfully in my opinion shows just how hard she and others work at it.

It's disappointing when the ones who don't care feel the need to ruin it for the rest. so selfish. but i've come to expect it out of certain posters.

TO MY DEFENSE!!! I did not know there some rules like that...BECAUSE you guys had that horrific Adult thread and I went there once and I was horryfied by posts that were allowed there...so how was I supposed to know there are RULES against talking about undergarments??? To my SECOND DEFENSE!!! I do not know nor had I ever cared about how these boards are getting run! I had NO idea about how hard moonbeam and others (if there any) working to keep it alive. I remember at YM everyone basically gooffed off all the time...no?

I remember at YM everyone basically gooffed off all the time...no? the problem wasn't that the topic was undergarments, per se. the problem was a comment archie made that would have resulted in a whole lot of 'non pg13' content had it remained unlocked. as to how hard we, as mods work... well, it can be a challenge.. did you really not realize that there's about 15 of us running this place? to get an idea of what we're up against, you should go read the Proboards Terms of Service. those are the main rules we have to abide by. our rules are secondary to theirs. the thing i have been officially warned about most often is 'adult content', and that's why there's no more adult board. that's also why we crack down on it so hard. there are plenty of disgruntled ex-members who do snoop around and look for reasons to report us, i'm afraid.

I'll add to the above that it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to know the rules applying to anything you choose to do. That includes posting on message boards, just as it applies to running a business, driving a car, or any number of other things. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse for breaking the rules. The ToS and our CoC are available for you to read. If you don't understand something, a PM to a moderator will get you an answer. If you haven't read either of them, break the rules, and end up getting your posts deleted or getting banned, that's your problem, not moonbeam's problem.

Moonbeam,
It does appear that Looney is getting blamed for Archie's actions.

All that posted had a little fun with it. Not just Looney or even Archie. It was meant to be a funny thread and according to COC, it went too far. For that I am sorry and for the problem it caused Moonbeam.

Freedom of speech only applies to what the government can restrict. PB can limit literally anything they want.
There was a former member who spent so much time posting on here b4 they were baned I am sure they must come back to troll frequently.

Yes, Archie. because you continually insist on making posts that you know full well will lead people into the temptation of posting inappropriately.
