The no votes should only count as half votes cause they seem a little unbalanced and hedging on the side of Liberal. I was gonna say Ghey, but didn't look forward to having my wiener slapped by a mod for being politically incorrect, yawwwwwn! Nap time over?

Uh...I would have thought that keeping rubbish out would have been conservative, not liberal. :?
 
I'd rather see this place more appropriate for all ages and gender, including the avatars

Exactly. My wife sometimes comes and takes a peek over my shoulder and asks incredulously, "Who ARE these people?" while pointing to the avatars. :|

WOW! DID YOU SEE THAT!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Supercub, you are leading me into temptation!!!!! :shock:

Especially that last one, I had to watch it for ten minutes before I decided whether it was lewd or not. I am not sure, might have to go and confirm my first impressions............. :wink:

And I NEVER, EVER allow my wife to read over my shoulder. Not here, not anywhere.......... 8)

back to todbartell.............

You are pretty bold when you are not in person, old buddy........... :wink:

so please tell me, did you find bullcoon, m1garandfather, amphibious and me homo-erotic and disturbing when you met us????? 8)

PS) The correct answer to the skill testing question above might lead to life-altering experiences............. :shock:
 
all I meant was that people will always have differing opinions on avatars, post topics, and such.

some might not like my avatars, some do.

this is a discussion forum with a wide, diverse membership. gonna have lots of different people out there reading and replying.

it's not like my avatars are of some chick getting gangbanged by a football team or something :roll:

I do not miss it... they now have Gunbastard to sling their crap... after reading some of the post there I am now more steadfast in my resistance to bringing it back.

They cannot control themselves without rules and have starting turning on each other... their loss :evil: Being over there gives you a distinct feeling... almost like watching the movie "Lord of the Flies"

Oh, come on, Pops. You gleaned all that and got the "LOF" syndrom all since joining on saturday? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously, why does it bother you what they are doing on another site? Could it be the same syndrome that cause people to go to an off topic forum when they know they will be offended when they get there?

I think the point is that by having certain topics and avatars we are doing ourselves a dis-service by alienating a certain group: children and women (in general). I am not going to try and be holier-than-thou, but the simple fact is that some of these issues are very offensive to women and certainly not suitable for children. I would suggest that it would be very beneficial to recruit and involve more women and children.
 
I think avatars are pretty subjective.

I also think that most of the risque avatars that are used here can be viewed by kids anyway, in other media outlets.

Simply put, kids can and do see this stuff everyday. Seriously, have you guys checked out a magazine rack lately? And I dont' mean the ### rack, either. Have any of you guys looked at your wifes fashion magazine lately? It's full of half aked pictures of chicks in lingerie. How about MAXIM style mags? They are readily viewable by kids. :wink:

DO you think that 10 year old kids don't lok at those magazines? :D

Frankly, if a kid is old enough to post on a gun forum, then he/she has proabbly seen it all before...

*your* wife may say "That avatar is offensive!' But my GF says "wow, she's got a great ass." And I'm not kidding, either..

Others find avatars like Pops offensive. There is a pic of a guy pointing a gun at me. Bad safety practice etc. Others say "it's a picture, who cares?"

People also complain that some avatars are not suitable for viewing at work. SO what? Go back to work! 8)

What is and is not offensive is highly subjective, and there is no clear cut line, unless we change the rules to highly regulated avatar guidelines, which may exclude SC's Frankenstien (too scary for kids..Promotes the use of cadavars for undead experiments :D ) or My avatar (fish have feelings to, we shoudln't promote cruelty to salmon :D ) etc etc.

You are absolutely right in this statement, there is a wide, diverse membership here on CGN. Some would not hold my views, or yours. I am only suggesting inclusion of all ages and gender. My computer is in plain view in the same room that all the other members of my family frequent, including two young girls who wonder what Dad is looking at, and thinking the worst when they see some of the avatars in question.

I don't have to go to OT and read the contents, but it's hard to avoid the avavtars in all the other forums.

I try not inflict my beliefs and standards on others, but when someone says "Like it or leave" (and you haven't in this case), are they not doing the same to me?

PLEASE NO FLAME HERE, I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A CONTEST :D

SC, notgin is preventing any age or gender form positng here. As I said before, most kids have already seen most of it. There are no ### avatars!! :D

I feel for you, but the question is, shoudl *your* particular situation make it so others cannot express themsleves? (Also, you can scroll down when an offending avatar is exposed, and you can still read the contents of the post) :D

Hard to say. But an interstign point. It's hard to say with expression. I guess my answer woudl be "They may not like your message, you may not like thiers, but how do you define what is right and wrong?"

Heck, I' wont' flame you for anything other than pump guns! :D
 
I am in support of it coming back, if there was no racism and foolishness. I saw that "Check this out" was getting support so at the suggestion of another poster, I threw this poll in to get a quantitative response. If it was to come back, hopefully it will be used well and not abused. However, a good point is raised, why task a moderator further than he already is, especially when it turns into school yard mud slinging. I personally would like to use it to exchange wild game recipes and info that is not suited to other threads or forums. As far as the foul language, I'd like to see that policed more closely, there is absolutly no need for a poster to put..."now I think I'll go wack-off" and comments like this. Some of the threads lose thier credibilty to comments such as this and I left CGN for almost a year because of this.

My 2 cents
 
63% in favor of bringing back OT at the moment... Seems like a majority to me... Hell, if the LIEberals had approval #'s like that, we'd never get rid of them!!!

Foxer must have a soft spot for us, this thread is actually surviving more than 10 mins!!!! 8)

Cheers

Jay, I think you are labouring under the misconception that CGN is a democracy. :?:

It most assuredly is not. :!:

It is a benevolent dictatorship, where the "golden rule" is practiced. He who has the gold makes the rules.

So even if the poll were running at 99% in favour of re-opening this bag of snakes, the only person who has a vote that counts is Greentips. In other words, the only person that needs to be convinced of the justness of your cause is the person who can actually make a decision. I have my doubts that he will change his mind on this one, but I have no personal knowledge of that at all.

Good luck!
