yea, yea before you get all upset, i know it's freedom of speech, but don't you think this place needs a little house keeping? this is a message board, i am all about freedom of speech, but sheesh, it's getting hard to view any thread without someone ruining it by padding and posting some irrevelant offensive image in every thread...

it's getting sad... i LIKE the wolf web, i don't want to leave just due to people's gross display of 'revenge' or display of 'not caring'

personally i find it to be an oxymoron of sorts, people that 'don't care' post images, text, saying... he look at me! i don't care! and then there are those who care, who are wondering what's the meaning of the wolf web if no one cares...

STOP the PADDING! w/ offensive images and such!

k, flame on, i don't really care anymore

I do think there needs to be some kind of "parental control" setting because we all know the people who do that stuff are all 7 anyway.

No, seriously, I think it should be an option to have posts with various keywords filtered out.

everyone keep in mind here that Prospero is a card-carrying member of Grace church, a fundamentalist Christian church on campus.

What probably happened is he got caught looking at TWW by one of his church-mates and he started feeling all guilty and posted this in reaction.

if you have a problem with me, come to me in person, don't blame me for your lack of sensitivity or your lack of morale, that i will leave up to YOU to decide. you also have no right attacking Grace church, again, if you have a problem with me, talk to me... as a common visitor to the soap box you should know that your attack on my character is just about the lowest you can get.

i give up, i don't even know why i started this thread, i guess i was too optimistic about the future of the wolf web... some things will just never change.

if your offended, just quit looking.

we won't miss you.

well, i guess some people might....

but...... someone new will come along. and be like, look at me, I'm new, and someone will go, NOOB!. And the new guy will be like whats a noob. and then 2,000 post later the new guy will be like, there is too much porn on here, lets get rid of it, and people will be like, no, lets leave it like it is. it will be too hard to change. And then some new person will come along, and be like, look at me, I'm new. And someone will go, NOOB!. And the new guy will be like whats a noob, and then someone will like to this thread, and then the noob will add a pad at the end, and magically this topic will come back to life again. And then other people will start talking about the porn, and be like, yep, there is some interesting porn on the wolf web tonight, and someone else will be like, we need to get rid of the porn. And eventually the porn haters will be like, you know, if I don't look at the porn, its like it isn't even on the page, look, i can scroll right past it without looking.

And then, the person reading will go back, and read the origional message, and see that is didn't really seem to be about porn in the first place, more about the stupid look at me, i'm stupid images that people seem to post for no apparant reason. And then they'll be like, damn, its 2:00AM, why am i writing this. And then, they will think, perhaps this will be entertaining to read. I should go ahead and post this anyway. But, they'll be like, but this might be entertaining, so it should go in entertainment or something, and not feedback forum. and then they realize its too late, the mouse is moving by itslef, the post reply button has been clicked, and its time to go to sleep.

good fucking game, feverred.

For all those who are too lazy, that pic came out of prospero's photo gallery.

Being a well trained little fundy, I'm sure he'll be able to come up with some crazy-assed rationalization for his hypocrisy.

god i hate fundamentalists.

^^^ irrelevant.

I have yet to see him POST that image.

He is talking about images in threads, not in photogalleries.

Besides, that picture could be showing something such as a victim of a terrorist attack or something similar.

if he's opposed to the images, he sure as hell shouldn't be showcasing them in his own fucking photogallery.

i know, right, if he can't even keep HIS gallery clean (the one area in which he can actually implement this morality of his), then why the fuck does he want to get all moral and try to pressure the CrazyJ into doing something he won't even do himself?

its just typical fundy bullshit, if you ask me.

Perhaps Hemogoblin you would do good to read the first post before responding?

See the "padding"?

See the qualifier "irrelevant"?

I hardly see any morality in here, other than the "offensive" if that's what you are thinking.

He is allegedly claiming that MOST THREADS are getting ruined by EXCESSIVE posting of IRRELEVANT images, which happen to be offensive.

He is not complaining about special threads where people only post offensive images (such as dead bodies and fecal matter and such).

He is complaining that MOST threads are getting ruined by such images.

And he is right. Such images should be more or less confined to those threads made especially for such images.

It is highly stupid and AGAINST THE TWW RULES when such images are posted, even if not excessively, in serious threads in the Lounge, what to talk of when idiots jump on the bandwagon and destroy somebody's serious Lounge thread asking for some advice, by posting stupid IRRELEVANT pictures OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Oh, and the BTW, did you forget this:

solinari, hemo, feverred, great job poisoning the well and attacking character instead of addressing the issue at hand.

if you find something to be offensive in my gallery PM me and let me know and i'll remove it. if you want to know about the snake, it was found in the phillipines where apparently it had divulged an entire human, it was fascinating to me since I had always heard rumors that anacondas could do such a thing, but never actually seen it, until now. i apologize if it offended you, but i didn't find it offensive, nor did i think any of you would either, so in response to hemo, no i don't see the hypocrisy.

wtf does my post in that thread have to do with anything? anyways, prospero, there you have it - you just espoused moral relativism in your last post. Don't believe me? Read it again.

birds attacked my cat once in a field next to my house. seeing pictures of birds on this site (particularly one's of muppet birds) highly offends me and shakes my sensibilities. could youo please remove all bird pictures from the threads on this site?

thanks

Devoured.
If you're so gung-ho about offenseive images ruining this site, then you shouldn't have anything in your own gallery that couuld be regarded as offensive. I realize there are some stupids out there who would probably say, "That car picture promotes racing, I find it offensive!" or whatever, but I think that you know that a picture of a cut-open snake and a bloody body is pretty nasty. I'm not offended by it, but maybe you should edit your own stuff before you go berating others'.

There is the fact that people can take your pictures and do whatever they want with them. It may not be offensive while in your photo gallery where people must voluntarily click to view, but like I did, they can take whatever pictures they want and post them whereever. In order to get rid of offensive pictures in threads, you must get rid of them everywhere. People will post whatever they want.

Hemo, since you are so dense... I thought I would elaborate what that post has to do with this thread. Remember saying:

Aha.

yeah i mean, if we could even just have an option to turn of images altogether, that would also save time in loading for those who just want to read and don't care about the images.

Here's something I've always wondered about. I open a thread and there's some of that pseudo-kiddie porn in it (those girls with the mushrooms or something), I suppose that means I have cached kiddie porn on my computer right?

Great (although I should have figured as much). Does that kind of disturb anyone? I don't want to sound like a prude, but I don't think Jake and Joe want kiddie porn on this site (assumig that what I saw was indeed kiddie porn)

I thnk that picture has always been a mystery, and nobody has been able to figure out where it came from.

However, I would believe that the pic is legal, because it is hard to believe that somebody would have an illegal pic in such a public place like this. The laws regarding underage porn are very tough, and it would be extremely risky to have such a pic in your gallery here.
