It is a shame. God, ohh should I have wrote the G word. Anyway the sub-forum was comedy and we told a few "litttle Johnny" jokes and now they have been removed. Are there that many prudes out there who control what is seen by the masses? Apparently freedom of speech doesn't exist on this web-site. If you don't like what you read you have a choice not to read it again but my god removing them so the rest of us without sticks in our rear ends is just wrong. Who is to say what is tasteful or not? Our first ammendment right gives us this right. Whats next are you gonna take our guns? God save the queen! But "little Johnny" is dead.:bonk:

Freedom of speech always has to be tempered with responsibility. We have a good number of 13 - 14 - 15 year olds on here who are learning about what it means to be an outdoorsman.

Again here is the sticky at the top of this forum-
Ground Rules for posting here and Terms of Service
The rules below apply to everyone regardless of prior donations to the site or payments for premium site features:

1. Rudeness to other members and especially sponsors will not be tolerated. Difference of opinion is fine and is to be expected but out-right nasty rude exchange will not be tolerated and don't be surprized when they are promptly deleted.

2. Any post that has racial overtones will be promptly deleted and that user who made it considered for removal.

3. This is a family site. We have male and female members of all ages. I expect that your posts recognize this fact. Any post that involves sexually objectionable language or content will be deleted, and the poster will receive a strike. It is the judgment call of the Administrators and Moderators as to what constitutes objectionable, so if you are unsure whether or not your post is appropriate for a family audience, do not post it.

4. Posts can and will be censored as needed.

5. Any post that is intentionally made to degrade or disrupt the flow of the thread and/or posts that (in the opinion of the moderating staff) are meant to be or are malicious in content will result in a official warning. Trolls (see definition) will be promptly removed.

6. Personal conflicts and grudges that have occurred among members outside of this site should stay that way. Keep it off the site. This is supposed to be a positive place for thoughts about the outdoors, not a soap opera.

Finally, a personal attack on anyone, by anyone else whether it be because of a grudge at an outing or over a high charged topic in the forums, will be deleted by myself or a super moderator,.... no questions asked. We don't care who you are,... moderator, long time user, or first time poster. Personal messages also fall under this rule. Personal messages can be reviewed to verify what has happened.

7. Any user of these boards including moderators will be permanently banned upon receiving three warnings (strikes) as determined from the collective moderation staff.

We still maintain the right to ban anyone immediately, no questions asked, but to date have done this very sparingly and have never taken this action (without warnings) with an established user.

8. All posts made within the forums become the property of GreatLakesOutdoors.com LLC (the posts themselves only, not the intellectual content) after they are made and may be stored indefinitely at our discretion.

9. Advertising by anyone who is not a paid advertiser is prohibited.

What Goggleye said is true...I look at it like this: It's a site created by Steve and we're all visitors to it. I've even deleted one of my jokes because, after I looked at it, I remembered that there are kids looking at the site and thought it would be inappropriate.

Yes you both are correct and I do appoligise for my racy post. I sometimes think all kids do is look at the internet for porn but that really isn't the case. If I had this available to me when I was a kid I would have been on it more than I am now.
