Why does HubPages ignore Foul Language used by Certain People?
Must we? Thanks for telling me what I must do - again.....
This is def the place to make another public complaint about what other people do, though.
Perhaps you could counsel her yourself? As you have appointed yourself overseer of the moral standards that we "must all draw a line at"?
Maybe HP would offer you an unpaid job checking the forums for "lavatory talk."?
Good luck.
bravo! so eloquent!
lol 
hurt you? im sorry friendlyworld. i wasn't trying to offend anyone here. i was just voicing an opinion that's all. then after thinking about how i wasn't in the mood to debate it, i decided to erase it before anyone could reply to it. although it looks like im too late on that.
anyways, im sorry if i offended you, as that wasn't my intention.
eta: Idk about being the nicest guy on here, but i do appreciate you saying that. im sure there's other guys on here every bit as nice as i am. besides, i never believe people are like a 100 percent evil or good. just some people tend to let one side of themselves dominate over the other. which side that is, is really up to the person.Stevennix2001 wrote:

WOW - well speaking as one of the elite idiots, I would have to say that Mark may be right about the life expectancy of this thread, though three days may have be an overestimate, in light of Lisa's and Shadesbreath's assessment of the content - which is is spot on, by the way. That's what I think, although thinking does come hard to us elite idiots...
What's with the elite hubber smacking, by the way? This is the third thread with this kind of remark in it that I have come across in as many days... I am starting to feel like there's a target painted on my back. Sheesh - I drop in for some fun and conversation, and end up feeling like I need to duck
Whazzup with that?I don't see a big deal with the "e" thing. People need to quit making issues out everything from "e's" to bad words to something someone says in the politics forum. (How about changing the meaning of the "e" from "elite" to "esteemed". Might that be better?
)Ahh, well - no good deed goes unpunished...
Perhaps if so many people find it offensive that some of us volunteers were given an honorific/special title (pat on the head) for helping out, perhaps we could be identified by the area in which we volunteer/help out.
SO then, we could be HN for the HubNuggets Team, HG for greeters, or whatever would make sense...
Then again, perhaps if we/I grow a thicker skin and learn to ignore certain types of comments (and we all know who - er - WHAT they are ) then some folks, and we all know who they are or do we? maybe that should be, and we all know what they are? or,... we all know why they are?... wait - I know - it's "and we all know where they are"... ? ...
ya know what - who cares? Maybe they will eventually tired of taking potshots. We live in hope
And I bet we'll get one in the office in 2012. Either Sarah or Hillary
Frankly I would prefer Sarah, she looks way better
Me too. Sarah is hawt. The government is paralyzed by partisan crap and corruption anyway, might as well have a hot chick on TV. Just turn the volume down and enjoy our democracy.
I guess what you're sayin is - as long as you don't listen to her strident, caustic voice or the words that are spewing without any knowledge to back them up - then she's hawt? Which means all you're interested in is the bod and the face? which means, as far as I can tell, you might do well to stay away from politics and just watch youtubes of mud wrestling. Anyhow, I don't even agree that she looks good at all! There are multitudes of much better lookin women you could fantasize about! I worry that the public may be voting that way - on the size of accoutrements etc.
and yes, I know you're jokin' but sometimes people say stuff just like you said, and they're not jokin' - round here! oh golly - did I get baited again?
I'm one of those 'passel o' wimmins' Shades, and I do take great offence at your obviously sexist and anti-Sarah stance. Gol durn it! Wait, is that a stance? You're some sort of worm. Worms can't stand. But you do. How do you manage? Oh, I get it, the beer!
Forget it.
Liberals have much more latitude in the subjective adjudication of the TOS. Convert them to conservatives and you'll see them banned for their evil ways!

'we' are cleaning up our new nest ready for moving in tomorrow, then we get to clean the old one that we are leaving. Happy days
How are you keeping, don't see you here so much lately?
I'm sorry..... This thread has given me a much needed laugh. It can't be going anywhere but downhill from here, though...
In answer to the OP's original question, perhaps HP could appoint some moral guardians to help it control the rising tide of foul language, perversion and general filth with which it's being threatened.
You could even have an accolade to go with it, with maybe a suitable picture/icon:
Honestly - I know it's "wrong", but I'm sitting here, cracking up at some of those fresh answers.
Some of these folks missed their calling as comedians. Joy, it's probably just my pathetic mood.
I'm not laughing at the OP. I can't help it - fresh answers often crack me up ("evil" or not). Maybe, too, it's just that I knew, when I saw the thread, what was about to happen. (Here's how far away and distant I've been - I missed that picture of the cleaning brush. I thought it was a quill pen and ink well. for taking names. )
Let me try this again....
I do think I've lost this battle. Just going try one more time...
(think I'll leave with the puppies and daisies.... got a feeling this thread cannot be saved )When the rain falleth it falleth from a great height
Usually most commentary when it becomes defiling and debased on a level of lavatory wordage, it may be taken at face value, involved offending someone at some level, or be taken in a humorous light, such as, for example (and not directed at any one individual or Hubber intended, purely mentioned for commentary purpose;
Please take this <object prepared for inclusion into a specific insertion point> and Royally <make motion, usually in a forward manner, and then removed after a short period, then repeated for a duration> go <mentioning of various forms of sexual conduct or activity> self <intended to be the recipient of said object and motion mentioned above> .....
Some how just doesn't express well enough when said in that mannerWell Lorlie, I may have been in a position to use the usual, short version, yet I think THAT would have gotten me a ban from here pronto...... So I chose the creative option
Lavatory talk?
What now we are not supposed to discuss science?
Oh duh just noticed lavatory not laboratory. LOL I am not a worm nor any other bulbous headed creature with a long tail whose name rhymes with one.
I am willing to bet it will be resurrected on the third day.
Jesus Christ! I forgot about that bit.
Give it enough centuries......people may write a book about it
Hay-Seuss?
Sounds like an illegal immigrant to me.
LOL Lisa. Yes, indeed. The word "pooh" does show up on the banned list.
You could also offend some readers with references to Winnie the Pooh, the bear who is oh-so-fond of eating out of the honeypotShove your Latin up your arse!
...ducking! out
*walking in....
this thread is so going down!
*walking out....Thanks for clearing that up, mega-I admire you for reading this entire thread to sort it all out. And thanks, Randy, for your words-I guess I got a tad miffed when I saw that word 'idiot' bandied about.
I think this all goes to show that there are some people more 'exalted' than others-of course there's some sort of hierarchy here. I'm not really savvy when it comes to computers-the Internet, especially-and put my feelings 'out there' when it's not necessary.
*Back off from the machine, Laurel*
...and I did, for a couple of hours, did some reading and gardening, took a long walk, and feel much more free of all the perceived or real BS.
Love youse guys!

hey - I just re-read over this last thread to determine what was going on with elite hubber bashing - and it all started when stevennix said something about elite hubbers - but I don't think he was refering to the elite VOLUNTEERS hubbers - he was talking about people that seem to get away with alot of borderline bad stuff. If he were here I'm sure he'd clear this up and say - no, he doesn't think the hubbers who volunteer and have the little e for elite are idiots (half of them) - no he was talking about those who sometimes break rules but don't get called on it - which is actually because nobody bothers to report them because they're popular. get it? I know for a fact he doesn't think the volunteer hubbers are idiots. i'm sure. that is, I think so
so its all a beeeeeg misunderstaning!

Should HubPages go multi-lingual?
I think it should.Here is why.It will improve the quality of the HubPages.

HubPages Staff Protocol for Answering on the Forums
