Use of explicit language at DTF

[JayOctavarium]

I shall test this theory tomorrow!

[lonestar]

Eh, I'll give it a shot. Some workstations are allowed it, so maybe there is a loophole like that somewhere, not that I really need to access it there. I usually only access DTF when I got something really important and long to post.

There's a penis joke in there somewhere.

[King Postwhore]

Loophole.




There it is.

As far as PCs original post, I personally didn't notice excessively bad language. But that doesn't mean it's not bad, worse or normal.

Regarding workplace use, I wish! I originally did that at internship 2 of 4 on MPs forum, but haven't been able to since at any workplace since due to either filters, or my current line of work. Driving and meeting with people face to face isn't conducive to msg board posting. 95% of my small amount of posts therefore comes from my phone.

While I'm not versed on much phone tech for forums, I would also be down for a mobile device friendly theme, application or whatever else.

This thread is ridiculous. I had a feeling they'd talk about it over at the 5/8 forums. Wasn't disappointed.

Nobody gives a shit what they say.

There's a leak in the forum.  Fuckers.

Oh, definitely. But it could prove to be a fun tool to measure the ridiculousness of a given post. When I read the OP, I though, "wow, they must have a field day with this one."

[black_biff_stadler]

Not really. They'll make fun of anything DTF-related because it's easy for "like" fishing over there since many of them innately dislike DTF based on their pre-(2007)split memories of the community and there are more than a few members who never even joined 5/8 until well after the split who just join in on the "fun" having no idea what it is they're even joking about in the first place but just faking their way through it all so they feel included in the gag.

[Perpetual Change]

Guys, 

I post at 5/8 regularly. Getting your chops busted is just part of being part of that community. It's fine 

Many people here seem to get really upset about 5/8... maybe those people should stop going there all the time?

And no Sysca, 5/8 making fun of something isn't a "measure of ridiculousness", lol, were that the case everything would be "ridiculous".

[wolfking]

I think random offensive / explicit language is becoming a problem here for me.

I don't think there is a fucking problem at all.

[Perpetual Change]

OK

[wolfking]

In seriousness to the OP,  I too don't see an overuse in bad language.  I do admit I am one of the worst offenders to be honest, but I think most people here are really tame with bad language and respectful to the rules.

Or, I could just be so immune to it I don't notice it.

Could you not ask the IT guys to whitelist the site? I mean, sure, bad language pops up every so often but its by no means an adult site here.

The only "adult" thing about those pics is what I do to myself whilst staring at them.

Oh the irony, just tried to log onto Dtf at the hotel I'm at, and was blocked cause of language.

What fuckin hotel are you at.  How are you supposed to get free pron?

In a case like that, I'd go out and make my own.

To clarify, it was the business center computer, not the wifi.

Gotchya.  That would certainly make fapping a bit awkward.

Secondly, who the hell wants to look at pr0n at work, anyway? We've got one of those up here. Seriously, WTF? Hell, I like porn as much as the next guy, but I have no interest in being, um, interested in it while at work. I understand why companies have to install filters, hell installing one here would save me from rebuilding several computers a year because numbnuts up there, but the people who necessitate them just baffle me.

And within days of posting this, we're now troubleshooting issues with numbnut's computer. 

It's always the fucking art people. You give somebody a job that focuses on design work, and they'll manufacture time to look at things they shouldn't. Another thing I've noticed is that the amount of computer problems a person has is directly related to the amount of privacy he has. I bet Kirk will back me up on this. Take every person at a company and make sure that their computer screen is visible to every other employee, and you'll cut your need for an IT department by a third.

Last week, I relocated my computer so that the monitor does NOT face the doorway.
