Cmdr. Cracken Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 I'd have to say no to the inapproperiate smilies. Please, think of the children. OR ELSE!!!!!!!
Lynk Former Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 I dunno it's been awhile since children came in here... there's lotsa kids over at SWG and that lil ascii ppl i did is STILL there... XD But seriously it's been aaaaaaages since any kids have really come in here... and those smilies were decent, at least they were anatomically correct smilies
Taos Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 Originally posted by Lizard_Queen I see nothing wrong with them...cept maybe for them being too G-Rated. Not really a surprise coming from you LQ.
Zoom Rabbit Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 Let's face it. There are 'kiddie forums,' 'young adult forums' and 'adult forums.' I think we all know what an 'adult forum' is, and recognize that there aren't any at Lucasforums. Here at Aresen...it used to be a 'kiddie forum,' which is fine for me--I'm just a big kid, after all. Perhaps Aresen is becoming a 'young adult forum,' in the proud tradition of XWA (where I have personally seen three deer mating) or the current environment in the Harbor at Monkey Island (where the word penis has appeared in a topic heading.) A little bawdy, perhaps, but just on the other side of that all-important *decency* line. Make note: pushing the envelope in this way is a tenuous process, and if you get it wrong you'll make my buddy Cracken here grumpy. Beware the giant red letters--he isn't joking. So. I would propose that the risqué smilies are acceptable, but some of the more *explicit* dialogue that's been going on lately just might be too much so...remember, a hypothetical eight year-old could click on your post, then run off to ask mommy what a 'vibrator' is. Disaster. The 'dancing smilies' or our little 'panty raids,' though, are more harmless...it's all gray, and we have to decide how dark a gray is too dark. Anyway. My two cents.
Lynk Former Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 Originally posted by Zoom Rabbit My two cents. We don't have one or two cent coins in Australia... the lowest is 5 *nods*
Cmdr. Cracken Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 I understand we're in a slight transition period from kiddie to young adult, as most of the Aresener's are getting older over the years. but please keep in mind that Lucasforums is ment to be family friendly. As the Zoom-zen one said. You never know.
Admiral Odin Posted June 22, 2003 Posted June 22, 2003 Not to mention people can and do lie about their ages, You also have lukers.
Redwing Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 Originally posted by StarWarsPhreak All the kiddies are at the Swamp Hypocrite Hey, let's not go overboard with Swamp-bashing. They aren't all kids, you know. STTCT: Banned, in this forum? Except for spamming, that's never happened.
The Master Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 Thank you, Cracken, Zoomy, you have been making a point that I have hinted at quite a few times. Ii notice things have gotten out of hand MANY times and I am not saying that I can't take that stuff, but think of the kids. The kids! I mean they come on here see that stuff and say the stuff or apply it to their everyday life because they think some of you are 'cool'. And parents wonder where their kids get this garbage into their head from. That is why I am hesitant about posting here, because I don't want to take part in that. Mark my words, I have spoken. Ah, that feels good.

EvilleApplePie Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 Psh. All this talk of corrupting the kiddies...please...what do you think public school does?!?!?! We are not *nearly* as raunchy as public school. We always pad everything. Bah. I lost my innocence to public school, the internet had nothing to do with it.
swphreak Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 Originally posted by The Master I mean they come on here see that stuff and say the stuff or apply it to their everyday life because they think some of you are 'cool'. wow. I'm "cool" The youngest person I know on the boards is Ty or Zed (12 or 13 or around there) and believe me.... they've already lost their innocence XP And EAP is right... school is much worse... at least where I live <.<
Lynk Former Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 oh yeah, the worst place is the school yard. not only are things like this talked about and used but add to it the peer pressure of being 'cool' and you've got kids minds being stretched and warped in all directions off the atomic scale...
Zoom Rabbit Posted June 23, 2003 Posted June 23, 2003 Well, from what I remember of public school, we used to talk about stuff that would make a one-legged sailor blush. I'm sure they can't learn anything here that they don't know already... They won't be learning it from me, though. I'll teach 'em how to conduct a proper panty raid, but once they have ahold of the things they're on their own.
Surfnshannon Posted June 23, 2003 Author Posted June 23, 2003 hey guys - i forgot i even posted this thread. ne ways. I understand and will confirm to the "no questionable smiley sex content". I was just wondering because I've never seen anything in the rules that said anything about smiley porn. No offence. Just wondered. And kids visit the forums??
Jared Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 *crickets chirp in backround* What can I say, I was bored that day. truth be told, I dont give a rat's @$$ what kids see:D

But as he said, its not like I don't get it. I've seen the real stuff, I don't need to get all giddy off a smile. If the kid knows what it means, why bother. They won't find out sex by looking at a 2 smilies. And btw, there are a lot of younger people at the Swamp now. Some younger than Ty.
-=ReApEr=- Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 Im only 13 guys, didn't know that did you. Now you can still treat me with the same respect as before.
Zoom Rabbit Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 Respect? AAAAAAHH...HAH! HAH! HAH! HAH--! *Hee* Oh, my...where was I? Oh, yeah--age. I'm not gonna say mine, but I'll mention that I remember 'Impeach Nixon' bumperstickers from my childhood, 'space sticks,' and the days when Star Trek women wearing miniskirts weren't on re-runs yet... I don't care if you little snots respect me or not. Go to bed!
access_flux Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 i dont get it tho, you can't see any pee pees or hoo hoos, and its not like there are 6 year old kids in here any ways, unless DSS is counted as one
Redwing Posted June 24, 2003 Posted June 24, 2003 Originally posted by -=ReApEr=- Im only 13 guys, didn't know that did you. Now you can still treat me with the same respect as before. I had an idea. But your spelling makes you seem older Now if you take, say, someone like Scar...well...no comment *runs*
