We all do post at your pleasure, so no arguments from me, just disappointment. |

No, the satire wasn't lost on me. but a bit of forethought would have told you "this thread will go where it shouldn't" and that should have been your first clue not to go there.
instead, you make us have to be the bad guys and shut it down.

When you take down threads on how to stay faithful, the adulterers win!

Just like you are an unpaid admin (I assume here, not sure if those ads feed you any money), I'm an unpaid poster. I don't think it is my job to anticipate what others might post in a thread. That statement on your part is ridiculous. You guys created the monster that is YM-OT as a complete capitulation to a few vocal people. You should at least recognize your part in all of this as a starting point. |

MMC, it doesn't matter *what* board it's on. YM OT was meant for non-financial chit chat. That doens't mean "anything goes". Saying I bear any sort of responsibility for your lack of judgement is ridiculous. You start a thread that's even remotely sexual in nature, and it degenerates - pretty much every.single.time.. So don't give me that crap about how you shouldn't have to anticipate. Yes, you should. It wasn't a pg-13 topic to begin with so it was against the PB TOS from the get go.
As for being unpaid, yes. I most certainly am. Furthermore, I would never change that. I don't need people accusing me of being a cheat or whatever on top of all the other crap I get.

Shouldn't the punishment be meted to those who caused the thread to degenerate, and their posts deleted? Seems like it's usually the same people every time. (Full disclosure, I didn't see the thread).

::It wasn't a pg-13 topic to begin with so it was against the PB TOS from the get go. ::
While I don't disagree that the thread eventually got past PG-13, the topic was "how to avoid cheating for 3 weeks". That's not remotely past PG-13 by any stretch of the imagination (because you certainly wouldn't have pulled it had the posts been things like "write letters to your wife, bring a photo of her to remind you of her, etc). Now the suggestions for HOW to avoid cheating certainly were, and I don't think it's hard to imagine that the thread was going to go there. But if the idea is that "cheating on someone" is beyond PG-13, then a whole lot of other threads need to come down also because numerous threads mention that topic.
::So don't give me that crap about how you shouldn't have to anticipate.::
If we have to start anticipating that topics which meet the PB TOS are eventually going to degenerate into topics that cross the line, then everyone on EE should stop posting because the majority of those end up over the line at one point or another.
If you're saying that anything that remotely alludes to sex gets pulled, then there are numerous threads to be pulled, many where the topic is broached by moderators. Again, I'm not saying the thread in question was appropriate, but the topic, which was staying faithful to a spouse, can't possibly be past PG-13 without numerous topics that allude to sex in any way also being there.

People talk about cheating in marriage all the time. How was that not PG-13? PLEASE explain. |

MMC, assuming you ARE married, would you be proud to show that little nugget to your wife? I would have no problem, because she knows me. It was obvious satire. |

That's not the way it was phrased. The way it was phrased was beyond PG-13, and about guaranteed to foster more of the same- and worse. MANHOOD is beyond PG-13? Come on. Do you watch PG-13 movies for the last 30 years? I just heard a commercial on network TV yesterday for a show that talked about climbing the flag pole as a sexual reference. That was on REGULAR TV.. |

If you had simply said, "how do I keep from cheating", that might have been one thing.. but that's not how you phrased it. you set the tone in that very first post, and it went way off track very quickly.
As for the flagpole reference, i don't give a shit. They get to make their own rules. I don't. I have to abide by what PB tells me is acceptable and they have said many, many times on support that they have a very conservative view of pg13.

LOL, and yet there's an entire thread that got derailed by an admin talking about how often everyone's getting laid.
The issue is not whether you get to make your own rules, I think most of us realize it's not up to you. The issue is that rules get applied selectively.
