Jeebs is in the box...

[Peregrine]

Sure as hell gives me a mental image I didn't need.

Keep in mind that if we banned people for creating bad mental images, this board would be a ghost town.

[cartman]

I will pay the entry fee in the next FOFC PokerStars tourney of anyone who can surpass Jeebs without themselves ending up in the box...

[gottimd]

[Blackadar]

Hate to see Jeeb's in the box b/c I'm sure it was an honest mistake, but it also is good to see that SkyDog's consistent.

[hhiipp]

Poor Jeebs, he's going to have a hard time adjusting to the next 2 weeks of torture.

This is just another in the long line of Eastern bias against posters here from Texas.

FIGHT THE POWER!

[Franklinnoble]

I could probably dola-post my way to Jeeb's level in two weeks - but I'd piss off everyone here, and probably get myself fired.

Time for a Revolution!!!!
Hmmm....maybe ''Free Jeebs'' shirts would be a profitable venture.

[KWhit]

In a related story, Internet traffic is way down since yesterday.

[Icy]

Well pretty stupid ban reason but if it's in the rules i can't blame Skydog, in the other hand, if i were the mod and a veteran guy who never did any harm to the community skipped a stupid rule, probably i would warn him before banning for 2 weeks (I don't know if skydog did it).

Also who is really lame is who reported him, are we in the school?? ohh deal teacher, Jeebers posted a bikini pic, can i get a better grade now for being a sucker?... come on guys, we are supposed to be adults and it's not that he posted a close blowjob.

Maybe the problem is not that you can't watch a bikini girl at your work, but that you should be working at work as it's for what you're being paid instead of reading a board. I can't stand the “nude women=pornography=devil” way of thinking.

EDITED:

Re-reading the rules i found this and i specially agree with RULE 2, so i wonder, was Jeeber acting like an asshat (that i doubt) or was it a mistake not trying to harm anybody?

Wow You must have a lot of character by now

SI

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

Does that mean I dont have any character?

You know, if skydog would have really wanted to send jeeb's a message, he would have just deleted a few posts

Actually, we've been down this road many times. This site has had issues where it is getting filtered at workplaces due to inappropriate links - and some have gotten in serious hot water over those links (not me). I'm not sure of the whole story, but I think someone came close to getting fired. So SkyDog instituted a zero-tolerance policy. It has nothing to do with "nude women=pornography=devil" shit. It has everything to do with "bad links/inappropriate pictures = spam filters = getting fired at work" shit.

As for the person who reported him, I'm thinking it was probably someone who wanted to see if the rules would be applied evenly. Or it was just someone alerting SkyDog to inappropriate content to get it the hell out of there and didn't think about Jeeb getting suspended. Or some shit like that. Hell, I've been in the box myself.

As for not looking at the website during work, we all can't be out on summer vacation. Some of us work for a living, so shut your pie-hole.

[Ben E Lou]

I guess people either think I'm kidding about the sticked "Guidelines" post, or they simply haven't read it. Everything that Blackie just explained is already explained. In fact, I *specifically* mentioned bikini photos. I really have no idea how the information below (copied and pasted from the thread above) could be made any more clear...


OK. Here are the basics:

1. No links to porn sites (hardcore or soft). Period. This includes hxxp links.

2. If you think a site has questionable content contained therein, use hxxp when posting a link.

3. Please be careful about posting pictures in a thread, even if they are pictures from a legit site like ESPN. Think of the FOFCer who is surfing sitting at the desk at his office.*

4. Please note that these are general guidelines. It just isn't feasible to attempt to write a set of rules that take into account every single possible linking scenario. The mods will make judgement calls on enforcement, and their decision is final.

*--And before you say, "Well, they shouldn't be surfing at work," consider that there are those who are allowed to surf the 'net during "down-times" at work, but if someone walks by and there's a picture of a woman in a bikini/underwear/skimpy clothes, they may get called into question.

OK. Now that the basics are out of the way, below I've copied and pasted some comments from the original thread that I found important to help people understand why we have this policy. The bottom line is this: it is a courtesy to other board members who may have different guidelines at work than you do. Here ya go:

It is my understanding that a number of these programs use what a site links to as one of their criteria for determining whether it is appropriate or not. I issued a suspension today to someone who posted such a link, and I won't hesitate to continue doing so.

She also suggested to stop actual direct links from this forum to whereever to use something like:

hxxp://www.yahoo.com/news/tiddlywinks/yaddayadda.htm

Then you can open up a new browser, copy/paste and change the in hxxp to http. This prevents direct linking from here in any way. So if you aren't sure, just do that.

Hope this helps.

The majority of companies would have no problem with employees occasionally visiting this site if we stuck to our normal content.

You got a point there and i underestand the reasons of that rule. The nude women.... shit was not reffered to Skydog rules but some country politics... i agree i should have been more explicit.

Again i think that it's better to delete the content and privately warn the guy specialy if he is a good member that doesn't try to damage the board or usually doesn't ignore the rules. Everybody can have a mistake and i think it's better to warn than to ban anybody, of course if the guy is an asshat as Skydog well wrote on the rules, he desservers to be banned, but i doubt that was Jeebers case.

A sucker in my books, it was not anything really offensive to have the urge to message the moderator.

You work for a living, and get paid for it, i doubt you get paid for reading forums so i'm sorry but even if most of us do it, you're not right here

[DaddyTorgo]

ya know i gotta agree with Icy. And I understand that the forum gets most of its traffic from people reading during work, but ya know what...we ought to be able to post whatever we want on here...and if you have a work where that's a problem, well maybe what Icy said is true...you shouldn't be surfing, you should be working. I mean really, it's hard for me to feel sorry for guys who get in trouble for surfing internet forums at work that have pictures of say even scantily clad women on them. Basically those people should know enough that they shouldn't be surfing forums at work, because odds are that is what is getting them in trouble more than the fact there are pictures of women in bathing suits. So basically, as much as I am cool with the whole linking policy (because really it's pretty petty not to be), if it's going to be a problem at your work for you to be looking at a website that has women in bikinis maybe you ought to log out of the forum and do some goddamn work. That is what you're getting paid to do, no?

amazingly enough, people CAN do their jobs AND surf without hurting their work. This board is about FOF, period. shit like the simpson thread should be deleted before it gets a reply.

take a hint, people around here for the most part care enough about their fellow fofc'er to try and NOT get theminto trouble.

Blackie is right this time.

shut yer pie hole and follow the rules.

[DaddyTorgo]

bite me. i never said i wouldn't follow the rules. in fact if you actually read you'd see that i said that i do follow the rules and i don't have a problem with them. i'm just sayin...if people are worried about gettin in trouble at work for what they view on the internet, maybe they ought to concentrate on actually...ya know...WORKING. and as for this thread being about FOF only...you realize RendeR that if only FOF...hell if only text-sim threads were present we'd get like 1/100 of the traffic that we do.

so don't tell me to shut my pie hole...shut your face fool

[RendeR]

You're trying to tell the MAJORITY of posters on this board that they shouldn't be doing so when they have the opportunity at work, therfor you're a selfish little prick and need to shut the fuck up.

To get pissy at the *at work* posters because you have some inflated sense of moral superiority because you don't post or read while at work is pathetic. Don't deride others piss boy, because you'll simply get it back 10-fold.

fucking self ritieous piece of shit.

If people can get away with saying things like this, but somebody gets two weeks for a bikini picture then I think something is wrong...

Its real fucking easy to say, you want some? he sits there and jumps on people browsing and posting at work because, what? It forces him to follow rules he doesn't like?

Too Fuking Bad, deal with it or get the fuck off the board.

I don't much like the rules either, but I follow them as well as I can when in a rage. I simply DETEST people that post self indulgent whiney assed shit like torgo and icy have in this thread for no other reason than to deride others. Their posts have NO real merit in the discussion. THey simply jump on people they seem to feel "superior" to because of the work situation.

They can kiss my lily white ass. I won't sit back and let self important pricks get off shit like that without at least hearing how fucking pathetic I believe it is.

Its real fucking easy to post things like this on a message board. you don't like it, ignore my ass and you won't be bothered ducky boy. Your opinion of me carries about enough weight to hold down a kleenex in a tornado.

RendeR...seeing as how you misspelled righteous and therefore i seriously doubt that you have a job where you are allowed to post at work. And I never said I didn't post or read at work FWIW, I just said that I wouldn't complain about it if say I was spending my company's time looking on a message board and got called onto the rug for it.

and i'm not quite sure how me saying that people that might get in trouble for reading the board at work should focus more on doing their work then reading the board makes me selfish? If anything it makes me altruistic dimwit. I'm looking out for the welfare of others.

and GWB...i fully understand there is downtime at work. I'm just saying that if I got in trouble for reading a messageboard at work, for whatever reason, I'd take it like a man as my own fault instead of trying to pass the buck.

and don't worry TargetPractice, I'm sure RendeR is just some self-important schmuck with an overinflated sense of his own importance. I deal with a million like him everyday. I've long since learned not to pay attention to the actual words coming out of their mouths and to instead realize that their life is indeed truly sad if that's how they derive their sense of satisfaction and superiority.

Saying shit like this doesn't get this site banned from workplaces, affecting MORE than just one or two people.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, you JUST D O N ' T G E T IT DO Y O U!!!!


This isn't ABOUT getting in trouble at work. Do you READ the fucking poists skydog makes???????


There are screeners out there that will completely BLOCK fofc from getting through to any NUMBER of people if it catches things like links to images, links to unsafe sites etc etc etc.

The images were the problem, they will get entire company networks to block fofc. This isn't about any ONE person, its about the whole FUCKING COMMUNITY YOU NITWIT.

Will you PLEASE get off your fucking high horse and think about someone besides your own self important ass?

GET THE POINT RIGHT and perhaps someone will listen to what you have to say.

So is whether or not the post will get FOFC blocked at a particular workplace the only reason for suspending people anymore? Right now you are being a total jerk and troll. Maybe the board would be better off if FOFC was banned from certain workplaces and people like you couldn't detract from it anymore.

wow, and not one reply to my obviously witty remark.

Just remember this folks. It may only be a bikini pic, but think of the site that it is hosted by. If you post an inline picture in a topic that links to a questionable site you will be given time in the box. Is that so hard to understand? If it comes from a questionable site then hxxp the picture, and dont put the img tags around it.

How will images get FOFC blocked on company networks if they come from work safe websites that filters don't have problems with? During the Olympics pictures in a volleyball thread were deleted even though they came from Yahoo. This particular rule was added precisely to protect the individual and any trouble/embarrassment somebody might face if a coworker just happened to catch him ogling them.

hey...ya know i'm the first to jump on RendeR for the WAY in which he's making his point, but as he just shared, he's having a seriously shitty day, so how about we just all let this go, alright? water under the bridge...cut the dude some slack and everyone take a big chill pill
