New No Holds Barred Forum

[Fred Weiss]

At the request of some members, we have created a No Holds Barred Forum here at Signs 101. The rules and theme are pretty straightforward:

Discussion about anything you like. Totally uncensored. Solve the problems of the planet or make a complete a$$ out of yourself. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!In order for this to work and not to have members who do not wish to be exposed to this free-for-all effected, we have created a joinable user group for those who do want to be able to see it and access it. If you don't join the user group, you will not even be aware of the new forum. To join, go to your User CP > Miscellaneous > Group Memberships. Here's a link (http://www.signs101.com/forums/profile.php?do=editusergroups) for the instruction impaired.

You must be a Registered Member, Contributing Member or Merchant Member to join the No Holds Barred Access User Group.

Nope. The Dept. of Homeland Security says no ... they want to monitor the posts. :Big Laugh

[Day Sign Co]

Keeping you busy today Fred? I'm glad my kids have grown up and left:Big Laugh

[signmeup]

Poop. Oh well....I wonder how many members will sign up? Can you provide a count every so often?

[DARLAK]

[DARLAK]

Keeping you busy today Fred? I'm glad my kids have grown up and left

the funny part is, this should make life easier... now if there are any 'problems'

BAM! send them to the bad zone and forget about them.....

[gabagoo]

Now if I hit new posts and I have joined this user group will those posts appear mixed in with the rest?

Sounds like a conspiracy! I think it is a set up......................All who join will be banned and forced to eat with the Furbys!

Yes. The only way around that is to unjoin the group and then rejoin whenever you want.

i don't see it, since this really is a forum not related to sign questions, they are really not a newbie...unless they were just born that is...

Hey Fred,

I think that the new forum is cool, and I understand that the NO-CENSORSHIP is what everyone wanted, but how do you keep it from going too far?? Should you maybe restrict explicit (to a certain degree) images?? I can imagine someone posting some filth in there that really should be considered unacceptable to be on this forum AT ALL. Just a thought

27 at last count

that's too funny, lets make things harder for fred by now making the no-holds barred forum a no-holds barred-but fred has to watch everything forum...

simply put if it offends you, leave the group and you are never to see anything that offends you.

i have faith that anything gross or discussting will just be ignored by the members...

this forum is for the political or religious type threads that have existed on this site, that didn't meet proper guidelines, they now have proper safe haven...

it is like anything else in this world - abuse it and it will hurt you, abuse it again and you may loose your life or in this case membership....

[Doyle]

I'll just keep my mouth shut, I suppose that if there are any restrictions, they will be put into place when and if it becomes a problem, or the whole group will be removed.

[mark in tx]

As long as it doesn't turn into 4chan /b/, it should be alright.

[Bigdawg]

...if there are any restrictions, they will be put into place when and if it becomes a problem, or the whole group will be removed.
That's my thoughts on it... remember everyone this is an experiment - subject to change...

[Techman]

remove the whole thing.. This has been tested on hundreds of boards in the cyber world. It usually end badly.

[Day Sign Co]

No way the adm. will have to work twice as hard

[DARLAK]

techman has spoken.... make it so

i'm 99% sure if it...

You post those naked furbies all the time....I fail to see the difference.

[skyhigh]

Now if I hit new posts and I have joined this user group will those posts appear mixed in with the rest?

How will we identify the "no holds" threads? Will they have a naked furby beside the thread title?

[skyhigh]

Well holy SHI....oops, this isn't in a "No Holds Barred" thread. Anyways, I just noticed...or I guess I did know and forgot, there is a thread listing below the title.

Wow, Fred has his sssstuff together.

[THATgirl]

way to go Fred! It is nice to see you are so open to new suggestions. thanks for doing an outstanding job on this forum.

[geb]

I give you credit Fred, you certainly are a fair person and willing to try different things. Personally I appreciate what you and Stacy do on a daily basis for 101, some days look very bright, some dreary, but you have moderated fairly in my opinion, and the board has risen and continues to rise daily. Well done.

Pornographic pictures will not be permitted




I am not half as much against female nudity as I'd like to be.

[DARLAK]
