I agree with Navigator's, views on the subject.

If you want to type the f-word go ahead.  If they use a few stars I'm sure your comment would still be understood.

Now, if they deleted your whole post because of unacceptable language THAT would be a problem for me.

Fuk fuk fuk fuk fuk fuk!!! LOL!!

I don't think there's any "public" posting of this board. I may be wrong, but I'd like to know if there's a list of forums for this place. I'm thinking not, but again, I don't know that for a fact.

I think you can censor individually per profile settings if you wish.
MY beef here is I can upload larger profile pics but the thing shows them in tiny size. What's with that??  :-\

Also a reeeeeal irritating deal is when posting a comment,it takes me back to the forum thread list instead of back to the thread I was in. Any way to change that??

Yep, I had to figure out that "taking me back to the forum thing", was very irritating..

Thanks for the tip on returning to the same thread but where do I look for that option?

As to you "profainers" lol...my last thought on the subject. We must remember that we are not in a bar, truckstop or whatever place where profanity is common. Granted, this is a public message board but it's not necessarily adult oriented. Remember, the number of people who post is just a small percentage of people who come here to  lurk and just read the board. There are a lot of young kids that are Bear fans and I'm sure some come here as fans to read about their team. I'm not saying we need to treat this like a church social but I see no need to push the envelope.

 Keys this may have been before your time but the reason we left the Trib board was to

 HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

 Thats why we went to JBN's.

 Those that liked having their thoughts made by others stayed at the Trib.

JJ... I was at the trib(under a different username) and remember it well. Go ahead and curse, swear or say whatever you want. I'll support your right to do so but that doesn't change my opinion that excessive profanity adds little if anything to an intelligent conversation.

 Keys,

 I'm sure you will back me up when words like V*GINA and PE*IS are obscene words.

 Those words should be censored.

 Type those words in yourself.

 You will back me up on this wont you?

 Yes or no?

It doesn't really bother me because I know what the word is. It is still being communicated. I look at as nothing more than a game of Wheel of Fortune. I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Sorry JJ...I just can't get all worked up over a few asterisks on an internet message board .

 Freedom is a funny thing to protect when you never tasted freedom in the first place.

 I didnt get your YES or NO answer about the words V*GINA and PE*IS.

 Should those words be allowed to be typed in full?

 I set you up to shoot yourself in the foot Keys.

 Now your finger is on the trigger.

 This is a very importent decision you have to make in your own mind.

 YES or NO?

 Only a one word answer from here on out and no bullshiiit.

 YES or NO?

Ok JJ...I'll play I don't consider **** or **** to be profanity and it probably shouldn't be altered with asterisks but as I said. I really don't care enough to obsess about it. If they were deleting your posts i would probably think differently but the occasional asterisk that still allows the reader to recognize the word is not the end of the world as we know it.
