KazGT6 06/04/17 3:53:20 PM #1:	Do the mods on this site care about talk about illegal activities like prostitution or illegal drugs? I've heard that for like prostitution talk they couldn't care less about that shit even if it is illegal. What about talk of illegal drugs? Does that stuff ever get modded in your opinion? Kinda seems like to me it's only when usually, a user is stealing from another, usually not another user though. --- "Do you think love can bloom, even on a battlefield?"--Metal Gear Solid <cite>KazGT6 posted [p:880401170] in So what is...

Entity13 06/04/17 5:06:07 PM #16:	Also saying "You know" as a joke where the punchline is literally the ambiguity. That's apparently illegal activities, and explaining the joke, nailing so hard the point that the punchline is the ambiguity, is somehow an admission of guilt. Unless you're Icoyar, I'm sure.
