| Date: 10/24/1999 12:00:00 PM From Authorid: 227 Well, there is a freedom of speech,but there are also little children that go on this web site. So I would probably agree with admin. |
|
Date: 10/24/1999 12:11:00 PM ( Admin )
Let's here what others have to say about this issue then we can make a more informed decision. We will leave this on the top of the list for a few days and review the replies. Thank you for bringing this up. |
| Date: 10/24/1999 12:18:00 PM From Authorid: 229 If repeating an exact quote there's no reason why it can't say "D----- Yankees" per say. And leave it at that. But to spell it out is to start the problem all over again, give some an inch and they'll take 10 miles. It's like a teen asking what's wrong with marijuana as long as he/she doesn't do the heavy stuff. All the 'heavy' stuff (cussing or drugs or anything else) starts from that 'little' stuff that some can't see a problem with. |

I never considered the word "Hell" to be a bad word. "Hell" is a place. As for the little children, I believe their parents should monitor what they look at on the internet and also, what the children write on ther stories. One story, I think it was called "demon night" had the kids home address at the end of it. After I read it I left a reply saying they better get their address off the net before their parents find out. Doing something like that is dangerous. They removed the address shortly after I replied. (Maybe Admin. did, who knows?) The parents need to watch their kids better, bottom line.........Hawk  |

People with real stories to tell will write more of them, and people who want to read good stories will visit this SITE more. Please don't confuse FREEDOM OF SPEECH with just plain old common decency for the general public which comes in all ages. |

| Date: 10/24/1999 7:33:00 PM From Authorid: 1355 I AGREE WITH YOU 100%!!Q*T |
| Date: 10/24/1999 8:29:00 PM From Authorid: 1265 In my opinion, you don't have to spell the whole word out for most people to get the point. A few $%#@ in between shouldn't hurt. Plus it's kinda fun trying to figure out what letter goes where. |
| Date: 10/25/1999 4:42:00 AM The problem with banning certain words is knowing where to draw the line. Maybe admin. can go by how many times someone uses these words in their stories, or how they are used. I'm with Hawk, parents should NOT be letting their kids surf the net unattended. How many kids have to get abducted by perverts they met on-line before the parents wake up ?? You are right however, if the parents don't watch the kids, it is up to the rest of us to look out for them as well. If you're not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.....T-1206. |
| Date: 10/25/1999 5:40:00 AM what about kids who go on-line at school? sometimes teachers are too busy to supervise. i think some words should be allowed, though, but definately not "the F word" or "the SH word" (unless someone is telling a story, and someone in the story says it) |
| Date: 10/25/1999 5:58:00 AM From Authorid: 1036 I agree 100% with the admin.--I mean if you actually put effort into you writing you can get you point across, with out using any of those such words--You could simple say "People are afraid God won't let them into Heaven". I think they have done a great things to make this website, a wonderful place to visit for all ages--and the comments about parents watching everything their kids do on the web, most parents will--but they do it with software that blocks-chat rooms or websites with "sex or bad language" well this website would not fall under it so parents would feel safe to let their children be here, so for that reason also I agree with admin. I myself am an adult--but do not want to hear bad language in any way--maybe in some what they can mark the title to the story with a code to let everyone know that story contains bad or offensive language and if you don't want to read it--don't--if you do than do. This way people can type what they want and we know before hand not to read it if it is bad language. |
| Date: 10/25/1999 11:12:00 AM From Authorid: 229 Again I must defend ADMIN by saying to some of the repliers that no parent can monitor their child 24 hours a day. It is impossible! And to assume that it can be done is ridiculous. Other then locking a child up in an empty room and throwing away the key, there's no way a parent can protect a child from all the elements of growing up and experiencing whatever they venture into by their own choice. That's why protecting the rights of children becomes everyone's responsibility and not just the parents. |

Has anyone noticed that in the last couple of weeks or so the quality of both the stories and the replies has definately improved? I think the childish and negative folks have gone looking for a new web-site where they can submit their obnoxious drivel. Their noticable abscence is now attracting people with higher IQ's who can express themselves in an intelligent and mature way.TC |

I would have to agree that somtimes these words do have there place but if they are used out of context I.E. name calling and threatining I dont feel that they should be taken out all together except for the F-word and the S-word but it really doesn't matter to me if the person is a good story teller they shouldn't need to use them...Static  |
| Date: 10/25/1999 8:35:00 PM From Authorid: 1392 I agree with you entirely! The deletion of gratuitous profanity should be enforced, and their efforts should be redoubled. I also understand that the adminisration cannot go through each story one by one to weed out all the offensive laguage. But perhaps they wouldn't have to. All they would need to do is look over the stories that have such language and deal with them case by case. |
| Date: 10/26/1999 5:53:00 AM I agree with the administration on this one. U don't need to use foul lan. to emphasise your story. |

First Off I support deleting foul language just for the point of using foul language. Who should judge that. ADMIN. If you truly believe your comment try writing again with different language until ADMIN accepts your input. Now on to what is really confusing about all of your comments. Each one of you that has stated that some of the words are not apropriate for all ages. Have any of you stopped to think that some of the stories are not meant for all ages. I do not just mean the stupid ones about sex with a ghost. I'm talking about the stories that are either true or close enough to true that they get me thinking at night when I go to sleep. Now how many kids have had nightmares or now have problems sleeping from reading these stories. I don't know and I can not stop them from reading them, nor do I want to. My point is that we can not judge for others children. As much as I would like to raise my neighbors kids sometimes...It's not my job. So what we either need to do is write nice little stories that we can tell at bedtime.. or grow up and let a few words fly. Those that don't like it for religious or moral reason are probably smart enough or old enough just to over look a few bad comments.....MR HAWK  |
| Date: 10/29/1999 8:33:00 PM I agree with Mr. Hawk! And for the author, it hasn't been a couple of weeks, it's been one week since you heard any negative remarks. We work! Again, this is another page where stories should be written, instead we have people complaining about this and that. I think the ADMIN. should stop people from wasting space, by putting up a "complaint page". Ok, I'm not one for cutting out certain words out of the english language, but if they (ADMIN.) wants to do it, fine. You just have to get creative and work around it. Quit complaining (AUTHOR) and write something good, like a story. - Jedi |
| Date: 11/1/1999 5:03:00 AM From Authorid: 1270 To TC, I noticed you get around a lot.

You actually eat out of the same mouth the foul comes out of unbelievable! And yes believe it or not, two very different people can have the same name, even friends. I'll not say what I think TC stands for. I pray for you my friend. Are you out to attack everyone else you don't totally agree with or that doesn't agree with your way of life? eh-hem ......look around. So I think that we should use discression in what we present to young children. Why is that so wrong in your eyes that you repeatedly want to hound me? I really want you to tell me and everyone else. |

Mr.Hawk, Mrs. Hawk and TC, If I offended anyone, then I will openly opoligise. My intentions were not to do that at all ok? If my replies to anything were out of line than I opoligise. As far as the hounding remark. Well maybe it's not hounding, but I found it rather interesting that TC hit every story that I put on this website after recently not agreeing with TC's story about censorship on this website. So I dont'a agree with TC. Many don't. Why has TC questioned that I might have a had a friend with the same first name as mine. That's not so unusual. Why right away was TC making such sarcastic and childish remarks on every story that I wrote? So I don't agree with you Mr. or Mrs. Hawk or TC. So what? I am not really upset. I just don't understand. I kinda figured it was some personal vendetta TC and the Hawks had. Look I do agree that we should have the freedom to write whatever we are thinking and even say a few words that we might or may not regret later, although I don't agree that it is always right in public places. But sometimes when we are in public we should use some descression and common sense. Some people think it's ok, for example, to use the F' word rather freely in public places. I think that if I was going to do that in front of someone like Mrs. Hawk or any kids present that it would be very disrespectful. First of all I don't even know her. At least I'd give her the benefit of some common respect and dignity. Do what you feel is truly right. Just don't expect all to agree ok? |

To 1270: You haven't offended me at all. Like I said, not everyone will be able to see eye to eye with you. Its not a personal vendetta. Just a difference in opinion. As far as using the F word in front of me I used to be a sailor. That ought to tell you something. I've said and heard it all. Just because I am a female doesn't mean that I need to be protected from hearing such words. I agree with watching language around children "in public", but on the internet it's the parents job to determine what they see.........Hawk |
| Date: 11/1/1999 3:41:00 PM When it comes right down to it what is the difference between saying a wword and displaying it by going he** it means the same thing. I applaud the effort to clean up and make things more socially acceptable, but I believe there is no such thinhg as a bad word, just bad thoughts and intentions. Which is worse, to say the "bad word", or tyhe more socially acceptable version? I believe it depends on the intent. I believe rather than concentrating on the "Bad word" The emphasis should be placed on the way it is being used. |

Nobody has time more for watching over these kids typing anymore. Now 3000 stories is easy for admin to look, but what about ten years light from now?? Up to comemnts on 1,000 millions...stories from millions of kids all over teh world??? You then tell me can any poor admin look at every lines, on everyday, in every stories, about every ID thing to say about anything to anyone on every subject at any monent on any body minds at all??? Whoops! It is a tough job? Who pays admin to do this? would you guys pay him some money at your request to do at your please? So stop it and be mature and be reasonable in asking him to look, or delete, or change , or post , or reprimand, or punish, or about do something or anything at all to somebody again. I say this >>HAVE A RESPECT FOR OUR ADMIN, AND LEAVE HIM ALONE WITH HIS ALREADY BUSY JOB! GET A LIFE and WORK, or MOVE ON with your easy life!

Hi, Dream Weaver. I'll state once again that I don't care much for using "bad" language gratuitously. My main gripe has been with the admins occaisional inconsistancy in enforcing their own rules: sometimes deleting hel#s & dam#ns that have been written within the context of a religious story that deals with concepts where you really can't get around using those words. The kiddies don't need protection from that, I don't think. If their parents encourage them to read the Bible, they will encounter these words. Some folks (of all ages...including myself, sometimes) now and then can get a little vulgar. This isn't necessarilly to be encouraged, but some of the stuff admin lets by is occaisionally somewhat crude... & I don't really care as long as they have enough discernment to see the difference between shock value &....well, I'm rambling...but I basically agree with you on keeping truely foul language out. |

I somewhat agree. It is nice to find a wholesome site after all the trash that is on the web. However I have had my own run in with the profanity scanner. I used a word that was a normal word but it contained a cuss word in it. Similar like ASSasination. The scanner caught it and Ilost my account. It kept saying PLEASE NO PROFANITY but I had no idea what it was talking about since I didn't say anything bad. Well it booted me off because I pressed enter 1000 times. I had to mail Ginger to get it reinstated. It gets on my nerves too. But you can say hell in reliogion. The scanner doesn't pick that up. Which is good because it is not necessarily a bad word.

Yes, I think the Admins have taken a reasonable stand when it comes to the language that is allowed on USM. I appreciate that they know when to allow what kind of language in what context. You might try using the $$ for words that contain those double-trouble "S" words. I know what you meen about some of the foul language that some websites use. I've checked a few of them out, but they turn me off too. |

Hi.^^^ I agree, symbols can say a lot; a mix of letters & symbols or just symbols alone. It could be said, of course, that no one needs to cuss, but many of us, including myself, find it helps takes the pressure off sometimes. %$#^%$!!! |

If you're saying that you should be able to use any word that is found in the king james bible, that still bad. You're using them in a different context! If the bible is talking about the place hell, or talk about the verb action completed by God himself, damned, then thats a different context! You cannot tell me that its the same usage! A.J. |

G rated????? Even daytime television isn't G rated. I don't think the site needs to loosen up to where the site becomes vulgar...but I think it needs to take a big bite of reality sandwich and loosen up a bit.  |

Wow guys...you sure went back into the dusty archives to get to this old gem! Yeah, I often wonder what has become of some of the old time USMers such as Hawk, MMC & others. I also have come to value the "family friendly" standards here at USM. I especially appreciate them after I get back from visiting some of the sites where anything goes: foul & abusive talk. Thanks for reading this. |

It's just sad that the "family friendly" atmosphere ran so many people off. :( |

Hi, Dizzy Me. Who needs the type of people who can't discuss topics, or communicate with others, without engaging in abusive & foul language. There are plenty of sites where that is OK. I participate at one of those sites...but while I may sometimes say things that would be deleted at USM, I am usually pretty soft-spoken. I guess USM has had a civilizing effect on me. I feel like I need to take a shower after visiting some of those websites. |
