It's worth remembering the context thing: I've had mods asking me what this that or the other word means when I'm on approval. I suppose that's an upshot of having moderators sourced entirely from the 'States, but it does still make you wonder if they're going to be fully competent to deal with the fact that non American anglophones are often going to have idioms that differ from their own.

These are both just examples, of course. "White trash", like "kike", is treated differently, which is in line with US culture, as noted. Let's not even get into the number of different derogatory terms used for other groups, or the ones that aren't just a single word (and thus not a problem, because it's "amen" that matters, not "may it be so"; magic).

You'd rather I didn't refer to people who can't spell "colour" and don't know what pants are as anglophones at all?

It's not the fact that TOS isn't followed. It's the things that are not in TOS that are suddenly 'violations' because someone doesn't like it.

"Dear HillWilliam,

If you have any questions about why a thead has been removed, you may email VideoAdminAlpha or VideoAdminTheta.

Thank you for being part of CollarMe.com"

Guess what?.
In TOS, The 3 links on netiquette contained within TOS and the old writings of Mods 1 and 2.

There is absolutely nothing that mentions this, much less makes it against guidelines.

They "made the rule up" on the spot.

I just don't know about a place where a lot of straight guys suck on a 'fag' on a daily, hell, hourly basis..[8D]

A list of banned topics would actually be quite handy, I'd have thought.

do we have any guidelines as to how long that lasts? only there must be threads that have been pulled, but then someone starts one on exactly that topic some time later.

that is a very stupid thing to say since we are not supposed to post on threads more than 3 months old from the date of the last post. we are told to open a new thread. so how is anyone to actually know that a topic of conversation is now banned? were you shown a place where there is now a list of banned topics?

There are no guidelines needles.
It was a made up rule. It did not and does not exist but I supposedly 'violated it'.
How can one violate a rule that does not exist?

This has been my point for months but there are some who are being deliberately obtuse and playing the "what if what if what if what if" game.

1. We have a written TOS
2. Follow it
3. If it isn't forbidden by TOS, don't start making things up to send people letters about.

It's ludicrous that words that can be used in the same context in a church, classroom or parent/teacher conference can't be used here on a 'supposedly' adult kink site.

Talk about the finer points of nailing someone's cock to a pine board to hold him still while you carve your name in his ass with a knife and prepare him to have your arm shoved up his asshole to the elbow all you want but God forbid you tell someone who can't read or write they are 'illiterate'.[8|]

!. We have a written TOS

2. In that TOS, it plainly states it is not all inclusive

3. You agreed to that TOS, including that part, when you signed up for your account and each time you log in.
