I am writing this to apologize to everyone on this site for losing control of my temper this weekend and lowering myself to the level of some people. I’m going to try and clear things up here for those of you that don’t know what is going on.
As many of you know this site has been declining in the recent past due to a lot of drama and threads that got out of hand with sexual innuendos, harsh cursing, and several other reasons. After making a post regarding the mods cleaning up this site everything exploded. I was questioned as to what should be and shouldn’t be removed, There were a lot of smart alec remarks and comments made about me and my family so I lost control.
When I said that I am mightier than though because I’m a mod it was a quote from one of the parties involved. I honestly don’t feel that way and I think those of you that know me know this to be true but on the same token the moderators have the final say in what gets removed and what stays. We have been pretty liberal up to this point.
There is nothing wrong with having a thread like “the shortbus” or “Monk with your brother” just keep it clean. We will not take the time to read every post in a thread to make sure it is clean. If there are more than a few posts in a thread that are deemed inappropriate then the thread will be removed.

The mods talked today and MrBoNeS is making this rule.

1st offense 3 day partial ban (can read but can't post).

2nd offense 7 day full ban (can't read or post)

3rd offense forever ban. (can't read or post)


The few people that were banned this weekend will have a 3day ban.
When you see something offensive or inappropriate then report it to a moderator and we will take care of it. We need everyone’s help getting this site back to what it once was.
I welcome back those that were banned and hope that we can put all of this behind us.

Below is a copy of the agreement that you agreed to when you signed onto this site.

This is what everyone that is a member of this site agreed to when obtaining a username.

Mike forgot to mention warnings will certainly be made on threads with foul language, etc before any bans are issued. Thanks.

Another thing I forgot. This is a family site but not a goodie two shoes site. Words like piss,d**n,hell,a$$ are going to slide but anything beyond that will be modified or removed.
as I think of things I'll add them.That didn't sound right. I meant if we think of things we missed we will fill you in.
