cool, I love an off topic thread How about a list of the words that are inappropriate, that would help clear things up substantially and it would also remove the element of "opinion" from said public reprimand. There is immeasurable benefit from everyone being forewarned and on the same page from the get go. To me if I am hearing it on TV and the radio that means its OK with the FCC and okay by me. (for those residing outside of the United States and don't know what the FCC is they are the Semi-Fascist government organization that is leading the charge for censorship across our great nation, and winning since most Americans are far too lazy to speak against them, or scared of being audited by the FCC's sister org the IRS) My 7 year old uses your dirty little 3 letter word all the time. "That smells like *** daddy" hmmmm, I guess censorship is becoming the new world fascination. Its sad, anti-freedom, and just plain wrong, but that would be my opinion, which is utterly worthless here, as all of you who hate me already know but I like to point it out anyway. But its your site censor away, and feel really good about it while you are doing it, in fact smile as you do it cuz yer doing a great thing for all of humanity, not just the 8 year olds that visit this site. /sarcasm] As a parent I am very appreciative of your efforts to keep this place clean, but it isn't your job. Its the parents job to monitor what the kids are looking at, my boy's PC is right next to mine and I watch his activity very closely. If there are parents out there that don't, and there are many, thats not our problem really, is it? Not in my worthless opinion = IMWO. I don't think Buzz is nitpicking, he is backing up his underlings, like a good leader should. Right or wrong. A valid point was raised that the rules should be applied equally to all regardless of what the police do or what parents do, the fact remains that fair is fair. If a student can't use *** then neither should a JAC. Leadership by example goes a long way. In fact leaders should be held to a higher code of ethics, google=Enron, Worldcom, Arthur Anderson. (I know Virtue is being funny and trying to lighten the situation using sarcasm, and that is what we all like about him) Dane is just doing his job in the way he see's fit, and it his right to do. He has been entrusted to know what is best for all of us by the Council. That being the case your account here is subject to his/those opinions and if you don't like those opinions your are certainly permitted to never return to this URL. Like many before us, you won't be missed. The word in question is harmless, even in all of its uses, but I notice it hasn't been editted in the lead post, this is the only thing I find offensive. That one would complain about it, have the power/rights to change it, and doesn't. There in yet another worthless opinion, likely to fall on deaf ears. peace y'all Lv _______________ “Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics.

Oh my god its kenyon out on his "I know how to do everything here better than everyone else so you should all listen to my superior intellect" rants. Blow it out your donkey. And Cuzza, the ratings are there to say who they feel should be viewing the movie and what steps should be taken. PG-13 is Parental Guidance Strongly Suggested, and R is Restricted which means anyone under 17 must be accompanied by an adult. Most theaters will enforce the R-rating but sometimes they don't. But if there's a movie channel playing it, and parents don't have it blocked off then a kid younger then 17 will be able to watch it. And its not illegal for them to watch it. If it comes to the attention of authorities that parents are letting their kids watch R movies, they can't do anything at all about it, thank God. Its not illegal, its just not advised. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

I believe JJ has already said this, but I'm gonna say it in fewer words:- G R O W U P ass is not a swear word - in fact in the UK it means donkey. Since when was it rude to say 'donkey'? In any case, this thread is ages old and no objections were raised at the time - if it was SO HUGELY offensive - it would have either been edited or abyss stamped. Please ppl!

Which part? The part where I've been pulled over and gotten a speeding ticket yet know of people who have been going faster than me and been let off with a warning or not even gotten pulled over?

Well I mean, I can't speak for now but back when I was in your position the heavily followed unwritten rule was that you kept things behind the scenes whenever possible so we don't look like a high school, but an actual respectable community website. I mean it's not a huge deal in this case, but you know, i'm just trying to help you guys out. The leaving the JA thing was hypothetical btw, nobody's accusing anybody of doing that.... .... With that said, stfu and go make me a cake please. <3 |

frankly JJ i didn't think it was 'dirty laundry' because the word was pretty placid, it was to start with imo a pretty friendly advisory. I realise now that this was a mistake on my part as cuzza replied very negatively and publicly also. Frankly Ass is not that offensive but I stand by my request that cuzza doesn't use it. On another note I don't remember ever asking anyone to leave the academy. _______________ I fite for teh usars!1 |

I can imagine someone clamping their virgin ears over the word 'derriere' if they're ten. But if they're ten...what are they doing here? Because you can't play JK3 legally until you're thirteen. If you're thirteen and you still can't stand it, thank the heavens we have thejediacademy.net to cater to your sensibilites, because real life sure as hell won't. Also: consistency, fellas.

Okay, allow me to speak as both a person who has acted like a total retard on this site, and someone who has had to deal with total retards on this site. Also keep in mind that, as a Royal Navy rating, i'm an EXPERT on foul language. Cuzza, even though you and I may not personally think use of that word is a big deal, it's pretty selfish to use it, funny letters or not. It still might offend some of the really young kids (Remember that Shrawn kid or whatever his name was? He was EIGHT YEARS OLD! ) around here, or indeed their parents. Y'don't want DJ or Virtue getting an angry email from a parent. I know you'll think that's an unlikely scenario, but it COULD happen. At the end of the day, you could have said butt, bum, behind or bottom anyway. Dane, maybe you should have emailed Cuzza or something. Doing your dirty laundry in public isn't something folks wanna see. I'm just butting in because I wanna help you guys, seeing as it's already went from a discussion about an amusing phonecall (which i'll check out after this post ) to a discussion about the JA's rules. I think one of the best ways the JAK+ can deal with situations is behind closed doors. You and I both know that things have happened in the upper levels that everyone would like to be kept there (And I was usually the CAUSE of that, but what can I say? I suck tremendously ), and in a way this is the same. If you guys want to have some sort of discussion about rules, or if Cuzza wants to stick it to "the man", then go ahead, but I don't think anyone else really wants to see it so publicly, y'know?But to be honest, life's just easier when you swallow your pride and do as your told. Due to my job, I have to do as i'm told or I could face anything from loss of pay to a jail sentence, which has taught me to do it. But y'know what? It's not hard to just say, yeah, sorry, I won't do it again. So let's try and do that, yeah?  By the way, you can't really leave the JA. Believe me, i've tried. Alot. But the fact is, you're not even here in the first place. Just remember guys, you're sitting in front of a computer. It's plugged into the wall. It's extremely easy to just get along with everyone here once you realise that. Now be cool and let's all have funnnn! |

It would be extremely unlikely that you would be asked to leave the academy by a JAK like that. If that were the case, however, talk to a JAT or JAC about it. Obviously, there may be some things that haven't specifically been mentioned on the rules page, so sometimes a JAK+ needs to request something extra of you. As I have already mentioned, it is unlikely you would be seriously asked to do something silly. If you are seriously asked to do something by a staff member, it will be for good reason. You posted a word that Dane felt was inappropriate for these forums, despite it being censored with $$. It doesn't matter if it has more than one meaning, it still carries one that can be offensive. You were simply asked not to use that type of language, but by questioning Dane's authority instead of doing as he asks, you have not only disrespected it, but taken this thread way off-topic. As I mentioned already, you should take this into a more private form. I know you have already talked to me in private, but you should have kept it there. If somebody were to say another potentially offensive word, then they may well be "publicly warned", or rather asked not to in that thread. Remember that discussing it further ruins the thread, much like this one. Is there anything else you would like to say, or can we get back on topic now?  |

Quote: Being here longer than a JAK+ does not give you the ability to freely undermine their authority. Dane knows the rules very, very well. I'm sure he was almost famous for it at one time. As flexible as the rules may seem, when a JAK+ advises you to do something, you should do it. Whether or not this word is a swear word, it can be considered offensive to some. Since Dane has told you not to use that type of language here, you should do as he says. If he doesn't see that as a valid censor of the word, you should respect that. The rules are that if a JAK+ requests something from you, you should do it. If you wish to know why, contact them in a more personal form, such as MSN, IRC or profile. Dude, I just can't believe I'm being "publicly warned" for saying "A**". It's unbelievable. Considering the word "ass" is actually another name for a donkey, maybe I was referring to that? I wasn't but if somebody was, would he publicly warned for it?You seem to think I'm disrespecting the rules and more noteably, Dane. I'm not. I have the upmost respect for all JAK+ but I don't see why I should stop saying that word. The next time I see the word "crap" used, I'll come straight to you and I want that person publicly warned. Not to mean to them or anything, but just being arkward. For the record, if a JAK asks me to leave the Academy, do I have to just because he told me to? _______________ - Even if Carlsberg made "w*nkers", Christiano Ronaldo would still be the biggest "w*nker" in the world |

Quote: Do you have some sort of problem with following the rules cuzza? I've been here for well over 3 years, maybe 4 (I'm not sure) and I hardly EVER swear. And, if I do, I blank it out with other characters on the keyboard. Please, don't give me any of the "I'm a Knight, I'll do what I want, when I want" crap (That's not a swear word) because you haven't been here half as long as me and I know much more about the rules than you. They're flexible. Why you ask? Well, considering you're the ONLY person out of a total of about 15 people who've replied to this thead (excluding mine and your "double" posting) moaning about the fact I used $ instead of s to "blank out" a "swear" word. Ass isn't a freakin' swear word! And no, I don't have trouble following the rules. If I did, I would have been kickbanned from the Academy years ago. I believe the length of my stay reflects my behaviour towards the Academy and my respect to the Admins.
