i believe it. the corporate sponsors are too worried about being pc and whatnot in order to attract more people for more REVENUE!! that is all that matters. i say if you don't like something then don't read it and if you are that stuffy and it gets that bad, then get the he!! off of the forum.

This thread was originally moved to the "Boneyard," section, which is not accessible to our members.

It is my opinion that such a thread needed to be addressed, as do some of the member comments made in this thread.

Rule:

Complaints & Suggestions
--------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have suggestions for the improvement of the Forum or questions or criticism of the Forum or its moderation, you are welcome to PM or e-mail a moderator. Please do not use an open thread for such messages, however.

The work on the Forum's volunteer moderators is difficult enough without having folks calling them out in open threads.
The list of Moderators is directly below the sections threads, on the right side. PM one of them with your concern.

Rules:

Inappropriate images
--------------------------------------------------------------------
For a long time, Corvetteforum.com had a “Babes” section. Our experience showed us that trying to enforce rules in the section was more difficult that it needed to be. A lot of the content posted was copyrighted pictures from other Internet sites. A lot of it was not “work-safe.”

For those reasons alone, we discontinued the section and do not allow Babes pictures to be posted on the Forum.

Allowing the posting of Babes pictures on the Forum or even links to sites that include Babes pictures or film clips makes us vulnerable to being blocked by corporate servers as a “not work safe” environment. That means many of us who like to check in on the Forum during breaks at work would no longer be able to do so.

No nudity, semi-nudity, suggestive, seductive or sexual images, film clips or emoticons. No images, clips or emoticons that would be shocking or offensive because of the content. Moderators will err on the side of caution in eliminating questionable images.

If you want that kind of content, there are lots of places on the Internet to find it, but Corvetteforum.com will not be one of them.

Thanks for your cooperation.
Avatars
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Images used for avatars should be in good taste. No babes, no controversial or offensive messages or images.
It is my belief that the member whose avatar was deleted, should question the Moderator via PM, since others in this thread have no idea why it was deleted before making their inappropriate comments.

Rule:

Free Speech/censorship
---------------------------------------------------------------------
God bless America, where we enjoy constitutionally protected rights. Free speech, although not absolute, is one of those rights.

Being a member at Corvetteforum.com is not, however, a constitutionally protected right. The Forum is a private enterprise and its owner has the right to establish rules of behavior for participants.

Participants who agree to follow Forum rules and then don’t will sometimes find that their inappropriate posts have been deleted. They should not reopen a topic after a moderator has closed a thread on the topic. A pattern of such defiance of the Forum’s rules/guidelines will jeopardize a member’s posting privileges.
While some claim censorship, they need to read this rule a little closer. This forum is privately owned, and the First Amendment rights guaranteed by the Constitution are not guaranteed here, it's that simple.

Members must remember that when they registered on the forum, they agreed to the rules that went along with it. Sadly, some have forgotten them and needed this to serve as a reminder.

Violation of the forum rules, will jeopardize your posting privileges.
