It was funny when they used hornyposting in an official announcement. But using that in the site rules? What were they thinking? Lol.


Pretty fucking cringe ngl

"Commonly referred to as"

I have never heard of the term "Hornyposting" until Fandom brought it up. I just knew it as "Overly sexual", which always made sense. No one needs or wants to know that someone's touching themselves to anything.

The fact that "hornyposting" was put in official rules makes it clear this was likely a rushed or half-assed job. You don't usually put weird ass words in official rules.

I've hardly been to PH since they got rid of 70% of their videos.

Yes, even actual porn sites have been cracking down on porn...

they only deleted videos with unverified people

because posting someone's porn without consent is bad

I remember jeffhardyb0yz in his last topic saying he would reveal who he was by the end of the year as well. There is also a selfie thread on CE were people are posting pics of themselves maybe that falls under that rule too.

Unless that rule means one person doxxing someone else. If you post your pic/name maybe that is allowed.

Just get on with the reinstatement of censoring cuss words. Stop leading us on.

This is a christian website, now, after all.
How long ago were cuss words uncensored? I feel like its been a bit. I remember back in the middle-late 2000s you couldn't use ANY language of any sort I feel like, but that was also when this site was thriving and the user-base was probably a lot more kids/teens. I feel like the average user for this website now is AT LEAST 18+ so its not like were not all adults here or anything....

I would highly doubt any modern-day teenagers even know this site, let alone the forums exist.

So, just how much room do the mods have on the third point of rule 9?

  • Can we here on CE still talk about the legalization and decriminalization movements, or about how the legal system is incentivized to treat users of these substances (including those who started via a doctor's prescription for actual medical conditions) as dangerous, nigh-rabid animals rather than human beings suffering from major health problems?
  • Can discussions be had about media that prominently includes such substances (e.g. The Amazing Spider-Man vol. 1 #96-98, the "Green Goblin Reborn!" arc; Grand Theft Auto V's characters of Barry and Trevor, etc.)?
  • Does alcohol fall under the rule, too?

* Can we here on CE still talk about the legalization and decriminalization movements, or about how the legal system is incentivized to treat users of these substances (including those who started via a doctor's prescription for actual medical conditions) as dangerous, nigh-rabid animals rather than human beings suffering from major health problems?
* Can discussions be had about media that prominently includes such substances (e.g. The Amazing Spider-Man vol. 1 #96-98, the "Green Goblin Reborn!" arc; Grand Theft Auto V's characters of Barry and Trevor, etc.)?
* Is the three-digit number commonly associated with one of those substances forbidden from being typed out, even in a context separate from the substance itself?
* Does alcohol fall under the rule, too?
The wording of that rule hasnt changed so presumably neither has the situation in practice. This has always been one rule that has been pretty clear - general discussion of the subject (including legal status) or a celebrity's use of drugs is fine, talking about your own personal use is not (but will rarely get more than an NKL), and setting up deals is waaaay crossing the line. Discussing fictional use is also acceptable.

Alcohol and tobacco have always been exempt, but other legal substances - even ones with a similar long history in some cultures, such as kava - are not.

The way l understand it, l could be wrong, they first turn the board private for mods only.
Then they delete everything in it and turns off the ability to create topics.
They do this, instead of just deleting it, to prevent things to break anything that links to it.
Which means that yes, they can be re-opened as empty boards if they really want to.

I wish theyd add a play nice rule which basically just means dont be jerks to other people be nice and respectful.

You will always have people who dance around the ToS claiming that they arent directly insulting the personbut its obvious the purpose of said post is the demean that person and make them upset and/or sad.

I like when the rules are vague and open to interpretation and basic common sense deductive reasoning as opposed to be looked at like a math equation.

In that regard, these rules could still use some work but overall they are a vast improvement. I am eager to see where Fandom steers this site under these new guidelines.

I am very hopeful for the future

I suspect that this is a key reason why the new changes are being implemented. In order for this platform to survive it needs to attract a younger, more hoper audience.

According to that poll only about 6% of people are still in school. The other 94% are out of college.

I doubt they're going to mod anyone for a genuine mistake. Unless the user can show a history of correcting *you* on it (and even this one is iffy tbh, because not everyone pays attention to usernames; although the flip side is anyone who doesn't pay such attention should probably be defaulting to "they" rather than "he" when referring to other users) or has it somewhere unmissable like their sig, you probably won't get hit for a case like that I'd think.
