Popular Post Jay 27,216 Posted October 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2013 I've noticed as of late an increase in swearing, sexual discussion, and otherwise adult-tinted content by many users across all the forums. While this doesn't technically break the rules, I'd like to see a decrease in this stuff. Just because we're allowed to swear doesn't mean we should at every chance we get. And the sexual adult talk really has no place here in my opinion.And also there is one user in particular who has been posting a large amount of GIFs, both animated and not, some of which are borderline inappropriate. Using these every once in a while is fine but using too many is just adding bandwidth for users trying to read discussion threads. I'd like to see this toned down.There are also some users who seem to like to take out their aggression when they are having a bad day on the forum, sometimes by berating the opinions of other users. Disagreeing on things is obviously fine, and long-term users who have their own back and forth banter is fine as well. But let's not go too far and be mean just because we can.And finally a reminder about the ban on politics and religion talk on the board. It's simply not allowed, so please don't try to be subtle and sneaky in bringing your views onto the board. There are plenty of other outlets for your thoughts on these topics, JWFan isn't the place.I think there's a good chance a lot of the above things are scaring away new users, and I know for a fact they have made some long-time users decide to leave as well.I'm asking everyone to remember this is primarily a film score message board, and is read by people as young as pre-teens. I think we can be smarter and less extreme with our post content and language. I'm not trying to neuter things or start banning anything remotely adult, just to tone down the aggressiveness and overtly sexual nature of some posts. Thank you. If anybody is being bothered by any users in particular, I encourage you to PM me and let me know who you think is being inappropriate, and why. There's a good chance others feel the same way, and I have no problem contacting some of these users directly and asking them to tone things down. And I have no reason to mention the names of the users who contacted me, so keep that in mind.Thanks everyone!

Wojo 2,442 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I found a few animated GIFs of a group hug, but I was hoping chuckster312 would beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,391 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 That was the trouble with his gif abuse; it made dropping them in ourselves for (genuine) comedic effect a bit pointless. A good reaction gif can be funny sometimes, but Chuck's just sucking all the fun out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
