I actually dont mind the no cursing policy. Matta fact Ill go as far as saying I appreciate the no cursing policy. Ive been on other forums where rules are little to none (ISS) and surprisingly these rules go a long way in terms of the community.Originally Posted by Bastitch

And I have a 10 year old son that doesn't curse around me. He probably curses at school and around his friends, but he definitely doesn't do it around me or his teachers or the rest of his family.
I don't mind if he curses as long it's not around me because I realize that he understands that (get this) there are certain places, environments and people where cursing isn't acceptable. He's cool with that. He doesn't feel that he's entitled to curse at all times and in all places.
And he's 10.
That's why I don't understand all the "power trip" and "treating us like kids" comments.
When the creators of NikeTalk made the decision to make these rules, they had an idea of what type of community they wanted to maintain.
You can be mad about our inability to get off Yuku as a service provider. I understand that frustration more than you understand.
What I don't understand is how you can come to this community and then decide you want to call the shots as to how rules are or aren't enforced. You came here with these pre-existing rules that are about as explicit as you can get.
Cursing just for cursing sake is pretty stupid, I completely agree.. The thing is, within the content of this thread a little f word or whatever I dont think is reason to get a 1 week ban. Seems to me like the punishment doesnt fit the crime. Im not saying completely ignore the rules but just a little consideration that this thread is strictly for the purpose of lulz and a f word might just slip out in here just like it would in the real world.
Thats what I think is great about moderating a forum, you as the reader notices an offense but you have the authority to determine if dude posted a curse just for the hell of posting a curse or if it was something that was just casually thrown in there when the posters only intention was to provide lulz.
Either way, Im sure youre goin to come up with an elaborate response as to how much of a favor you and the mods do for us by moderating this forum and how we should appreciate it rather than condemn every little decision you guys make. How the rules have been there for 10 years so you dont see why we are so surprised about the enforcement of such a rule.
Same way youve heard every excuse in the book, us regular users have heard every reason in the world for why a mod is never ever ever wrong in any decision they make.
It is just my opinion that the punishment does not fit the crime given the non malicious intent in which the offense was made.
It is what it is though.
