Thread: Inappropriate comments

I think we would like to keep it to where you're 8 or 10 year old son or daughter could be looking over your shoulder while you surf SRP and there is nothing you have to worry about them seeing on here.

I've noticed in general people just being rude IMO. Newbs are asking question, and getting smart replies. Just the other day someone wanted to leave SRP, and I could guess why by the comments that followed.

Well said Bruno and a big "Thank You" to all the Mods! Y'all are doing a great job.

I think the whole point is that SRP should be a safe comfortable environment for ALL members. Rude posts, whether they pertain to gender, politics, religion etc, have no place here. The key IMO is gentlemanlike behaviour.

Joking and picking at each other out of fun is fine. Beligerent, obnoxious, or crude..4chan would be better suited for you. As far as someone being rude to a newbee, I'm sorry to hear that, everyone needs to keep in mind that at one point YOU were that person asking rudimental questions too, so keep that in mind, or don't post in the beginners sections, plain and simple folks. Personally I like posting and replying to folks in the beginners forum, helping out those new people like others did for me...pay it forward guys!

I am a knuckle head at times and when I get a chance to lighten the mood I often will. I would hope it never comes off as inappropriate, but I want to share a concept:

"Appropriate" and "offensive" sometimes are defined differently in different parts of the world.

Politely mentioning to someone when their post seems rude or offensive can be a real service to those of us that may draw the line in a different place trust my integrity when I say, I never intend to agitate anyone here

Ditto to that

Indeed, I have been reprimanded in the past for some crude "joviality" with the guys here. I understand the need for universal respect and decency. I must add some threads are destined to go downhill, as in a current one in the ladies forum. I think sometime the mods must take the advise of Barney Fife and "Nip it in the bud", so to speak. Moving, for example, and advising new members should be taken on by mods, mentors, and members. Many times a friendly PM will get the job done. Sometimes topping off the thread with a new one just will not bury it. Some guys just don't know when to quit and those who post for attention are rewarded with plenty. If this is not tolerated by the community in general, things will go better and some fun-lovers and activists will still be in our midst instead of being banned.
It's all about the blades, Gents. All about the blades. JMHO.

The problem is some of those fun lovers and activists just don't get it even when you try and point the way...they are where they are for a reason.
But I must agree...it's all about the blades, hence the title of this great forum Straight Razor Place If more people remembered that there wouldn't even be a need for threads like this. And as someone already mentioned, this is the internet, and there are many sites you can go to get your fill of senseless banter.

It's far from unusual these days to overhear hear young women using language and discussing subjects that would make a sailor blush. That aside, I agree that a gentleman should always behave like the person his dog thinks he is. To be honest I think that making fun of someone can often be worse than a crude remark, but firmly agree that neither have any place on SRP.
