Site's too big now. Too many people. A segment of the population are basically retarded, assholes, or retarded assholes.  More people=more retarded assholes.



Not the answer you wanted to hear, but best of luck controlling it.

I hate reading that. This will blow over eventually, and things will return to a more civil normal. Make sure the staff has clear direction on what to do, and this will cease to be a problem soon.

We are not going to go over the top PC on things. Some things you can find humor and some you can't. Now this shit might fall into the category of poor taste, but is it really in the same vein as making light of a murder? I guess I look at some of these are more "Darwin Award" type situations where maybe a little levity and irony are ok to point out.

The question should be internalized. When you go to post something, would you be ok if it was your son/daughter? Your spouse? Your parents? If you can still find a little humor in it, then post it. If you find yourself thinking it's probably borderline, then don't. It's your account and you are posting this at your own risk. Most likely it will be a warning and a temp lock, but if it's way over the line, you wont be coming back.

Question:

What about the typical GD threads where people make tasteless quips about how person died?

"She had a shocking experience" if someone died of electrocution sorta thing.


Just curios.

You know why it exists and will continue.  So much good has been done on every level by the members here. And that will continue.

You also know that there are some people who once got a ticket for doing 60 in a school zone that will hate police for the rest of their miserable lives. As well as LEO that have become jaded and will carry that with them forever. Human nature.

The site is fine. Trust the staff and mods to do what they do. They do a good job of herding cats here.

If so, pretty messed up.

I respect those that serve.

They serve for.....freedom. For better or worse.

Anyone should be able to say anything they want. Heads blown off and petty thief kids burnt alive and posted here to watch is fine? But saying mean things about someone else that died is off limits? Got it.

Another thread type which can go either way. The issue here is that people need to know what our enemies are doing without sugar coating things. So while beheading threads are vile and shocking, they are not making light of an innocent's death. (Again innocent is in the eye of the beholder.) So most of these are fine, maybe some are not. I have avoided them for a while and don't know the last time I read one.

Kind of hard to find where the "line" is here. Either making light of or posting flippant "oh well" comments about an innocent person's demise is wrong or it isn't. Things like the Dinkheller video get posted for knowledge/training value too, but those kinds of comments clearly wouldn't fly in those threads.
