What's with all the tater 'hating? I love 'taters. Especially when they don't look like 'taters. Like when they look like hash browns, or something. And for now on I will think of WeWill as Tater Salad.

(As long as they're firm and not mashed or scalloped).
POM - are you saying that WWBG's spuds should be shredded?

I believe it to be my public duty as a mod to warn posters in advance: The first poster to create the inevitable "Butt, Boobs, or Balls?" thread will see it promptly moved to the thread graveyard.

see this is a perfect example of "it's NOT what you think" cause at first I saw nuts as WWBG avatar - that's how my brain worked that image out first. BUT now after reading comments/posts all I see now are two potatoes so it's not what I thought!

Oh now you've all got me scrutinizing what the potato really is! I first saw a butt. I adopted it out of the comment from the other thread that I apparently get busy with potatoes. Perhaps each month I'll change the vegetable.
Good points raised, so let me try to address them.
I err on the side of caution because of too many direct warnings from ProBoards itself. The reason for those warnings are diverse; but the result is the same. I'd rather temporarily move a thread than have to fend another inquiry over something that is actually innocent. Perception is sometimes reality. The subtext that the thread is about movie characters may not be readily apparent to someone who is skimming without deeper analysis. Even if we can defend this one, its still put us on the radar.
I try not to edit bits of posts without some sort of dialogue first; unless the violation is blatant. In this case, the OP was not around for dialogue (and won't be for a few more days). Moving the thread gives us some time to discuss the thread, and come to a course of action.
If there are other proboards forums that seem to have far more adult material than us, and get away with it, please PM me some examples that we can have handy in case we are ever questioned by proboards. Recall a while back we had an adult board, and we were ordered to shut it down. At the very least, having examples of what flies in other areas can help us build a case.
We know it can be very restrictive. We also know that PG-13 is a real sliding scale these days. Heck, in 1989, the words "ass" and "dick" were shocking in movies. Now, they are routine in "kids" TV.

It swings both ways, I guess, since both were perfectly acceptable in the 1930's. Of course at that time they referred to a donkey and a private eye.

I miss the good old days when there were still some figures of speech left that hadn't been co-opted as crass euphemisms. Urban Dictionary is fitting chronicle of our society losing it's mind. Who wants to bet against "potato" meaning "breast" or "testicle" by the end of the decade? We'll read something like "The man put his bag of potatoes on the counter," and be all a-giggle.

I think I will must use the idea that double standards in this forum becoming a norm. Less fun, more control...whatever. I am glad there are forums out there with different standards.
