Mudplugger Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Have to say I am with you on this one Pharisee, I am not aware of any guidelines for the content of the signatures but obviously the audience which can access the topices should be considered after all it is a family sport. Don't really think it's necessary to have any sort of Official intervention just a little more thought about the content of them and how the majority will view them. Somedays you are a pigeon and others you are a statue ! Quote Link to comment
+Kouros Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Personally, I would think that the forums should be treated like caches - leave nothing that you wouldn't want a child to accidentally come across. ------ An it harm none, do what ye will Quote Link to comment

Keep this sort of rubbish for your school playground. I agree 100% with you John. It was suggested to Mike Blitz a couple of weeks ago that his sig line was not appropriate to these forums. He chose to ignore that friendly advice. I thought I would highlight the issue by coming up with one equally inappropriate. I apologise for the content of the sig. line that I used, but at least it has brought the issue into discussion. Jamie. Quote Link to comment
+Tim & June Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Agreed all round. Michael's sig is to say the least, very close to the mark. However, Waspman's sig was beyond the bounds of decency, so we have edited it out. In view of the posts above, perhaps Michael will take the hint and clean his up. Quote Link to comment

Michael, we have now recieved a number of complaints about your sig. line and it does not show us in a very good light to any to any of the powers that be that might be looking through our forums. We have not deleted your post because the nature of it was not offensive, rather distastefull and not the right sort of thing for this forum. Tim & June (Winchester) See June, I told you that sign which said 'Unsuitable for Motor Vehicles' was wrong ! Quote Link to comment

My sig was made in all good intentions of being jokey and not serious in the slightest. In light of this, I'll be off for a bit (or longer if I feel like it). Believe it or not I do have better things to do than type this message, what with my SATS starting tomorrow and all the other stuff that'll probably keep me occupied til about mid June. No more time of mine will probably be spent on these forums til then. I'll (maybe) carry on finding caches if and when I feel like it.

In Michael's defence, it was suggested when he was away for a few days in Wales with the church, which is why nothing happened instantly. In fact, he's been quite busy (away from caching) recently... as he said, he's got SATs at the moment. Mind you, we did go caching together on Saturday, for the first time in about 3 or 4 weeks. I'm about to go and "Scout around" a site: on Friday, I'm doing a GPS / Geocache session with the local scouts, so need to set them their own multi-cache to find.... today it's planning, then I'll quickly lay the trail before they arrive, on Friday!

They are full of stuff much worse than what I've seen here. Lighten up a bit guys and gals, live and let live. If you don't find the sig lines funny, don't laugh. Lets have less of the 'If I don't like it then no one else can' If you have children who are so sheltered and naive that they would be shocked at what has been written then keep them away from these areas.

Whats wrong with that is that some of your fellow cachers find the verses offensive regardless of what you think of them. That's reason enough not to use them. A courtesy issue I would have thought. quote:I've only just started at this game but it's great fun ain't it? Yep! Rich mobilis in mobili Quote Link to comment

Not really, Michael Jackson was a pop star, you will need to use the net to find out about him and children as it is probably not appropriate to do so on this forum. Quote Link to comment
