Really?? Aren't we all grown ups here, who can talk however the hell we want to talk?? To go in someone's post and edit it is kinda **** up. Can't you just switch on the feature that masks whatever word offends you and we can still say what we want to say?? Also I think whoever told you that was bullshitting you. Even if true, why does it matter? At this point, who is going to search for an Alice Cooper forum on a search engine? It's not like there is a million and you're gonna end up on page 999. If I search for Alice Cooper forum on Google there are exactly 3 that show up. Also complaining about language on a forum about the rock "villain" Alice Cooper is a bit hypocritical.Si wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 7:45 pmCan we please watch the language. I know it's an very emotive topic but there are rules against swearing on this board. There are ways of saying what you want to say without the profanity.
And no, it's not because I find it offensive or anything like that. It relates to how the site gets classed in some search engines etc. (or so I am told).
Thanks.
1. No, not everyone is an adult here. There is no age limit.Prometheus77 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 3:14 pmReally?? Aren't we all grown ups here, who can talk however the hell we want to talk??

Yeah. I can see children flooding this space to talk about Alice Cooper.Si wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 3:49 pm1. No, not everyone is an adult here. There is no age limit.
2. There IS a feature turned on to mask words. It doesn't catch everything but it is there. For example I haven't edited your post above, so you can see that it is working. But the point is that you shouldn't be using such words here to start with, as you agreed not to when you signed up. Of course what is a profanity varies in different places and to different people (Americans often see "hell" as swearing, but I don't), but there are a handful of specific words that are masked out and not allowed here.
3. It matters because of how some search engines rate a site and decide if it's "adult content" or not. It's certainly may not be as true now as it was years ago but it's in there. But in the end that doesn't really matter as it's the rules of the board.
4. No, people don't generally search for "Alice Cooper Forum", but that's also irrelevant. The public part of the forum is indexed the same as any other web page, so searching almost anything could bring up a page of the forum if those keywords have been used.
5. Why is it hypocritical? Have you not noticed over the last 50+ years Alice himself doesn't swear, either on stage or in interview? We simply follow his lead. *I* believe it leads to a better overall atmosphere in general.
Additionally: This is MY forum and I pay to host it for you, and these are MY rules which YOU agreed to when you signed up. It's completely up to you whether you play by the rules or decide to leave.
When you signed up you also agreed that the moderators decision is final. When someone breaks the rules we decide whether to remove the whole post, or just edit it so that the basic post remains. In most situations I do the latter so that the posters opinion is retained.
At the end of the day you are coming into MY house, and should respect the few rules I have about conduct here.
No one is telling you how to talk.Prometheus77 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 5:04 pmYeah, well, maybe this isn't the place for me, when someone likes to tell me how I can talk, like we're in Kindergarten.
They’ve been stalling in providing documentation for the investigation and have just been subpoenaed. These things can take years once the legal teams kick in.killer wolf wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 9:27 pmall these rumours about TM supposedly being investigated were obviously wrong, or they've dumped cash into someone's back pockets. how a company can be allowed to instigate "dynamic pricing" is disgusting. I thought there were rules about selling for the quoted price on a product, what would happen if petrol stations and supermarkets introduced that? we make the same arguments every tour, and every next tour, not a thing has changed.
