Thread: Sick of the garbage

Mapleman you should be like me... can't remember the password to get in there and therefore can't be bothered with it.

The Open slather Forum has a password on it.

You do not have to look in there if you don't want to.

The jokes in there are just that: JOKES and are meant as such. I do not think that anyone takes them other than that.

Jokes about men are just as prolific but as most members here are male then jokes are going to be about the opposite sex.

It is a sad world if we can't share a joke with our wives or girlfriends about them, the same way as they do about us.

That's strange, I can't see the post titles until I have logged into that section.

The whole OS Forum cannot be seen by guests. It can be seen (the Forum heading) if you are logged in but the headings can't be seen unless you have logged in.

If you wish to log out and therefore not see the headings, cleaning your cache should do it.

I don't support sexual objectification of women AT ALL!!! Not in the workplace,not in general life and not in humor.So its o.k for certain folk on this forum to be given immunity,to articulate their filthy debauched jokes without consequence,within a closed forum.Censored or not,no forum should foster or encourage this sort of behavior or mindset,as it is sending a very negative message.Back off me dude...MM

So...lets see if I have this right...you are complaining about the content of a sub-forum which is only visible if you specifically request to see it? Why did you request to see it?

As far as I'm aware, there is no universal human right not to be offended.

THE FINAL WORD....
PLEASE NOTE: This post is not aimed at any one individual but is by way an explanation for everyone.

The forum header on the main forum page is...
OPEN SLATHER - Enter at your own risk (password required)

The header at the top of the forums titles page has always clearly stated:

Uncensored Forum. May contain material offensive to some members. Enter at own risk.

This header has today been changed to read:

PLEASE TAKE NOTE:

This is a password protected UNCENSORED FORUM and may contain material offensive to some

members. Read threads at your own risk. If offended don't complain, just leave. You have been warned.


No one can see past the OPEN SLATHER heading on the main forum page UNLESS they either get, or already have, a password.

• Only with a password can you see the content/titles of that forum.
• If you are not logged in you cannot see the titles or the OPEN SLATHER header on the main page
• If you are logged in and do not have a password you cannot see the titles or anything else.
• If you have a password you will see everything in the forum.
• Open Slather is not listed in our Searchable Archive and cannot be seen outside of the main Forum.
• You must physically apply for a password.
• If you apply for a password then you must want to see the restricted content.
• If you want to see the restricted content and don't like it then do not go back.
• Open Slather is an uncensored forum so do not report posts unless they are explicitly or graphically way over the top.
  
• Open slather can not be entered or seen by any of the following groups:
  
  • Newbies - must have at least 5 posts before it is seeable.
  • COPPA(Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) members under the age of 14
  • Banned - anyone who has been banned from the forums
  • Retired - Members who have left the forums of their own free will.
  • Non registered
  • Anyone awaiting registration conformation
  • Search engines and their search bots
  
  

I think that just about covers it all. In short NO PASSWORD NO VIEW!

WHY DO WE HAVE SUCH A FORUM?

Dead simple answer is this: I and members would rather see it in there than out on the open forums where it could sit for a few hours before being reported. In this time it will be picked up by the likes of Google and other slower search engines the archived in their searches for goodness knows how many years to come.

Deleting anything that might be construed by a minority of people as offensive does tend upset the majority who have an open minds. So a place for it was set aside and called..... Yep you guessed it: OPEN SLATHER. We made a commitment not to censor anything in that forum and with a couple of exception have pretty much stuck to that commitment and will continue to.

The Admins and Mods will delete #p orn0 graphy# and extremely graphic or violent content if it is reported. But will not otherwise censor that forum.

#can't use that word other explicit words in the open forum without it getting the forums flagged by schools, etc and having the forums locked out of their systems.#

I hope this is all clear to members and satisfies those who don't like Open Slather.
