People from all sides had access to it but with no clear guidelines here on whats okay and not okay I took it down.
Offensive in nature I suppose.
Tired of problems.
Maybe we can all talk about it and if someone wants it back we can set up another one.
I'm quite happy being who I am...and Inks is happy I'm not a guy.
You guys are way too much sometimes.
Whatever floats your boat.
Now - how do I move these 230 posts?
Sorry people. We're all here now right?
Boy, what a mess. Plus this damn computer is slower than hell tonight. Thanks for catching that OTiS. :smile: :wink:
Do you have any idea TMK?

but it I almost had a heart attack.
guys can we move forward with a "code of conduct"
By participating in the CoolerCrew folders and AbleMinds "live message service", you agree to the following Code of Conduct of CoolerCrew folders:
• “Freedom of Speech”:
While we believe very much in the freedom of speech & expression, you DO NOT have an absolute right to say whatever you want in this community. Posts and comments that are meant to incite conflicts between members or outside parties are strictly prohibited. CoolerCrew Moderators have the absolute right to edit, modify, close or delete any content found in this community. While this rarely, if ever happens, we will not tolerate individuals or groups creating problems with the overall membership.
• Abuse / Flaming / Derogatory Comments:
Abusive Comments, Flaming, or derogatory insults or comments are strictly against the rules. If you disagree with another memberÂ’s point of view, do so in a mature and civil manner. If someone posts to discuss their personal problems or seeks help from other forums members, please do not respond unless you have something positive or helpful to add. If you find yourself being flamed or insulted by another member, please do not dignify that person with a response. Notify a moderator and let us handle it. If you feel you must respond to a flame or insult directly, please do NOT do so on the board. Use Private Messaging, but make sure you do NOT threaten any member.
• Language & Profanity:
While we understand the majority of members are grown adults, we do occasionally have young adults and children that visit CoolerCrew to communicate with others in similar circumstances as their own. Further, many people are offended by vulgar language. If you feel you must swear to get your point across, please consider censoring your language appropriately so as to not be overly offensive. (e.g., “S***!”) Replacing one or two letters in an expletive by using ASCII characters (! For I, etc) is not an acceptable solution.
• Impersonating Members & Accessing other’s Accounts:
You may not impersonate another board member or create an account for the purpose of provoking other users. This includes creating an account very similar to another member as to confuse others by the similarity in names. Accessing or using someone elseÂ’s account or attempting to access another memberÂ’s account is strictly prohibited.
• User Accounts:
A maximum of TWO accounts is allowed per person. If you are found to be using three or more accounts, one or more of them will be blocked and you may be banned from CoolerCrew all together depending on the situation. The bottom line here is to register one or two accounts and stick with it. If you are having issues with an account name please let a Moderators know as soon as possible.
• Posting Personal Contact Information (Address / Phone Number):
You may not post other CoolerCrew members personal contact information such as home address, work address, home telephone number, work telephone number, etc., in the public forums. ANYONE, including guests to CoolerCrew, can read the public forums - this policy is in place for your safety and protection.
• Threats, Racism & Sexism:
Threads or replies promoting or expressing intolerant views towards “minorities” (race, religion, sexual preference, interracial couples, etc.) will not be tolerated.
It is the policy of CoolerCrew threads and folders that forms of unwelcomed sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, or harassment in any form will not be tolerated.
• Deleting Posts and Closing Threads:
CoolerCrew Moderators has the right to close or remove any post or thread we deem inappropriate.
I know Terry wanted a "we have a right to change rules clause"

OK..tweeked...I'm done adding stuff.
this is covered in the "freedom of speech" section.
Threads or replies promoting or expressing intolerant views towards “minorities” (race, religion, sexual preference, interracial couples, etc.) will not be tolerated.

The rest is simply editing for clarity.
Are we ready with this? Where will this go?
I'd like to open up discussion on two things though:
The swearing: (e.g., “S***!”) Replacing one or two letters in an expletive by using ASCII characters (! For I, etc) is not an acceptable solution.
and the adding of a members full name to the part of Posting Personal Contact Information
Granted they know more swear words than I do, but I believe that is the intent.

I have done that a time or two myself, but I do see where it would not be appropriate for kids to be reading.
I think its something we can go ahead and edit ourselves if we think its over the top..
maybe just say something like it could be edited.

I also gave a heading for the adult material that was included in the language point.
Any other suggestions?
I like it.
