How Come The Swinging Dick Douchebags

[Gvac]

who run this site are so clueless sometimes?

Seriously.

[SatCam]

I didnt know you ran this site.


See what i did there?

[Hottub]

Uncle Greg has a weird dick. It feels funny when he asks me to taste it.

[Gvac]

I don't appreciate anyone editing my words so it appears I said something I didn't.

It's not funny, it's horseshit.

It's OK to bust balls, but changing someone's words is going over the line, in my opinion. A lot farther over the line than the word "faggot."

[Tenbatsuzen]

GVac, the first time it was edited, it was changed from a word to a similar word with the same connotation.

The second time, it was uproariously funny.

[EliSnow]

Hey, don't come into my forum bitching about how things are run.

Or no more sigs for you.

[Tall_James]

The Swinging Dicks would make an excellent band name.

[Gvac]

The Swinging Dicks would make an excellent band name.

That was my proposal for the band before we settled on Crankcase.

I still may use it one day.

[Bossanova]

Not sure what its about, but I saw swinging dicks and Gvac's name

[A.J.]

I might like to hear their organ.

Oh, those swinging dicks.

[drjoek]

What level IS a swinging dick douchebag I need some more info before I can proceed

[Midkiff]

That puts Matty at least at a Level 3.

[Gvac]

That puts Matty at least at a Level 3.

HAHAHA!

Watch out...Matty might deem the word "douchebag" to be offensive and have one of his lackey mods edit that.

You would need this guy on mouth harp, too...

Gvac, as I said before, a word as you posted in a thread title makes Ronfez.net ridiculously NSFW. If you want to go out and yell "Faggot" from the rooftops, feel free. Even if you want to post it in a thread, you can. But some of us like to surf the site at work and some of us have lost our jobs because we surf here at work.

When the term "Babyfuck" was posted in thread titles, I also asked for threads to be edited because unlike the other 202-related sites, this is one of the few that tries very hard to be work-safe. I wouldn't dream of going to any other 202 site at work, but I like going here because I can read, post, etc. and not have to deal with being called into HR having to explain if I'm a pedophile. And I'm sure others would agree. The term "faggot" is up there with "nigger" with me in terms of being offensive. You want to use them? Fine. But don't put them into a situation where I can potentially lose my job over something I didn't say or write.

If that explanation isn't good enough for you, then I apologize. But it's how I feel.

To be fair, Matty makes an important point from the NSFW perspective. Now I don't know who edited your post and I understand your being upset. But I think you'll agree after all that "faggot" IS a slur. Now if you had used the word "sissies" instead...

Now let's all hug and kiss like Arab men.

[Friday]

with all this talk of faggotry and cuntiness, where in the world is Louis CK when you need him?!?!

[Gvac]

All I ask for is consistency and no double standards.

In fact, I asked the mods and admins to edit a few of Tenbatsuzen's previous threads (which they did) which contained the words "Cunt" and "Fuck" in them.

Imagine that...thread titles with the words Cunt and Fuck.

I guess they're safe for work but Faggot isn't.

Learn something new every day.

And I did a search this morning. Thread titles with the word "Fuck" in them? 157.

The word "Shit"? 144

"Cunt"? 7

NONE of them were edited and nobody cried about it.

Until last night.

You don't fucking get it.

"Faggot" IS HATE SPEECH.

You can say "Shit" at work and even though it'll be frowned upon, YOU WON'T GET FIRED FOR IT.

If you say "faggot" at work, YOU CAN KISS YOUR JOB GOOD BYE.

[A.J.]

Fair enough. I know that "cunt" has upset some of the ladies...and would help to explain the lack of them at times on this board.

I think that just from the NSFW optic, we should work harder to elminate the harsher words from the titles at least. And consistency SHOULD be factored in of course, absolutely.

I'll consult with the other Swinging Dick Douchebags about this.

[Tenbatsuzen]

And the term "Babyfuck" has a connotation of pedophilia, in case you didn't realize. Funny yes, but not work friendly.

[Tenbatsuzen]

And yes, I used "homo" in a thread title (Fallon's birthday thread) but that was before I was informed about previous incidents at work related to hate speech. And even then, I usually avoid the lounge when I'm at work.

omg everything because drama for no reason. instead of worrying about shit being ok for work, how about you do your job and come on here when you get home? I dont see how douchebag isnt safe for work.

Also, let me ask you a question, GVac.

How many thread titles have I posted with "Fuck" or "Cunt" in them?

Outside of the "Fallon is a Homo" thread, I'm not sure when any hateful, derogatory terms were in the thread titles.

It's NOT what you say in the thread, it's the THREAD TITLE that can be seen by work filters by reloading the forum, and also by people walking by because it's in boldface text.

That's the problem I'm had.

[Tenbatsuzen]

It wasn't "douchebag", it was "faggot".

And don't worry about my job. We've had people posting on her how they've lost their jobs surfing here.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I just checked.

Posts by Tenbatsuzen that contain the word "cunt": 53. Out of those 53, a majority of them were quotes from other people. I had one thread, "Don is a cunt", which again, was posted before I fully understood "work safety".

[Gvac]

THIS THREAD (http://www.ronfez.net/forums/showthread.php?t=59612)has been edited. It originally read "FUCK YOU CHAKA KHAN!!!"

The admins edited it this morning to "FU"

They also edited THIS ONE (http://www.ronfez.net/forums/showthread.php?t=59258). It originally read "Don Is A Cunt"

Aren't you great.

Only problem with both of those threads is that they weren't hate speech. One was posted 11 months ago, the other probably more than 6 months ago.

And notice, I'm not complaining. If the mods wanted to change my language, they can. You don't see me whining. I'm a guest here. I don't pay the bills here. If other guests find my language to be objectionable, they can change it.


The ONLY times I asked for threads to be changed was for NSFW language. That's IT. "Babyfuck" and "Faggot".

[mikeyboy]

I think there's a line between profanity and slurs in thread titles. Personally, I have previously removed "nigger" and "cunt" from thread titles in the past. My reasons have been that these terms (as well as "faggot") are highly charged, and making them not so in your face in thread titles makes for a less hostile environment. Also, I've considered it for people in a work environment where someone might look over someone's shoulder and instantly find the content to be inflammatory. Clearly it hasn't been done across the board as Gvac's search has shown. The board has been around fgor seven years now, and it's not always easy to remain consistent. It's the same reason we don't allow nudity or pornography on the site.

Profanity generally has been okay, except for the "BabyF" editing that was done to thread title because of the pedophilia connotations. It's not an "anything goes" board. It never has been.

[mikeyboy]

...and even though I'm not responsible for the editing, it is consistent with some of the standards we've utilized in the past. It has nothing to do to bowing to Matty's wishes, because he's one of the last people on this board I would bend for.

I normally don't put language in thread titles, but I put the "Fuck" in the Chaka khan thread title because it was to make the joke work.

Yes, that was a shock post.

The "Don is a Cunt" post was almost a year ago and one of the rare occassions I used "cunt", again, to put forward a joke. A year later, I wouldn't use the word in a thread title because I wouldn't want it coming back to haunt me.

[Tenbatsuzen]

One thing I'll bring up here...

I posted a thread about Knight Rider that Mojo took it upon himself to change to "Matty Fails". Even though it made me look bad, I didn't care. I didn't complain.

The first time your thread was edited, it was changed from "faggots" to Wussies. The words have the exact same connotation that you were going for, but again, as Mikey said, if someone has a cube neighbor who is in fact, homosexual, surfing the website won't get you an automatic pinkslip. You flipped out.

The second time the thread was edited, YES, it was making fun of you, but maybe people didn't realize how sensitive - dare I say - wussy - about the subject you'd be.

I mean, what's worse - someone with dry skin who uses lotion, or someone who complains about being picked on a message board?

And in all seriousness, this makes me sound like I carry power when I really don't. Outside of suggesting modquotes, the ONLY times I've requested things of mods is changing the babyfuck and "faggot" thread titles. Never requested a banning, never asked for anything else.

You are such a faggot!

Seriously!

A BIG, FUCKING FAGGOT!!!

Listen as I explain is S L O W L Y...because you are such a stupid faggot.

I wasn't mad that I was being "picked on" - I was mad because a post of mine was edited arbitrarily, whereas it had not been done in the past. And there was no notation that it had been edited. I DO NOT want words attributed to me that I didn't speak.

I only want consistency.

And if you are ever un-faggoty enough to get out from behind your keyboard and say some of the things you say on this board to my face, you'd see how quickly I'd make you cry "I'm a FAGGOT!"

Seriously, Matt...you're the very definition of a FAGGOT!

[mikeyboy]

ugh.


seriously.


both of you.


take it off board.

And your post was edited because it contained NSFW hate speech.

I'm sure because you work a blue collar job with blue collar guys, you're a MAN, right? Never mind the fact that the basis of the thread was picking on other members who have the balls to share stuff about themselves. As Silera once said, God can only imagine the downward spiral this message board would take if people actually tried to be amusing and honest about their idiosyncrasies instead of just posting about their mundane life and agreeing with everything everyone else says. Funny, with threads like "I have gas" and "I took a crap", someone's been posting about their mundane life.

Unfortunately, Greg, I work in a very well-paying white collar job where I've taken almost every spare dime I've had to pay down my debt and save for a house. I'm sure as someone who is unmarried and doesn't have kids, this concept may be foreign to you, but I have concerns about my job, especially since I work in the financial sector.

I also have co-workers whose sexuality is none of my business, but I can be well-assured that if they happened to see certain words over my shoulder, especially since none of them don't understand the terminology of "personal space", I would get into a shitload of trouble and probably lose my job. We had a four hour training session about hate speech at work. It's one of the reasons why XM and Sirius is blocked at work, because they don't want people having it on speakers and offending other co-workers.

Your post wasn't edited "arbitrarily". Your post was edited because it was offensive to people and steered into hate speech. Like it or not, the word faggot is hate speech. I'm not sure why you're so proud about using the word "faggot", but if you want me to start a thread called "GVac is a homophobe", I have no issue doing that.

Seriously.

SHUT THE FUCK UP.

I'm still waiting for you to take my eye out, like you threatened to do on this messageboard.

From the safety of your own home.

Behind your keyboard.

You haven't come out to an event since then.

That's the difference between me and you, Mattycakes. Anything I say here I'd say to someone's face.

I'm not a fake internet tough guy like you.

So hide, cower, and continue to talk tough behind your keyboard.

It only proves what a creepy phony you are. And a pathetic douchebag.

Now shut the fuck up and don't address me anymore.

[mikeyboy]

Thanks to you both for turning what could have been a civil debate into childish internet name calling contest. I'm locking this up. Please avoid addressing each other at all on this board. This is my warning -- be civil with each other on the board or face bannings. I don't give a fuck how long either of you have been here, if there are any additional personal attacks or threats, we will take action.
