What is appropriate content for DonationCoder?

CodeTRUCKER:
but the point for this thread is that porn is a very real factor in our daily lives with how it drives the market forwards.

Not really.  The point of the thread, at least my intent, was given that the "water" here is a little dirtier than what some folks systems can assimilate, was it possible to do something to make it less troubling on the digestion.  At the end of the day it appears that I'm the only one getting Montezuma's Revenge for the present.  So I gracefully bowed out in deference to the masses.

app103:
I have never been offended by letters of the alphabet, nor am I offended when they are strung together as words. I find no single word offensive.

What I can be offended by is the messages, concepts, and ideas that can be conveyed with words...the big picture.

I have seen and heard some of the most offensive profane garbage said with 'clean language' and some perfectly acceptable messages with lots of 'profanity'.

I personally think if you are offended by the individual words, you might be putting too much focus on them and possibly missing the message (at least in part) that they are meant to express.

Now about a tagging system...

I have never really liked tagging systems except in gmail where I tag things in a way that makes sense to ME and nobody else. But I am the only one that will see the tags in my email so it doesn't matter what I call everything.

On the other hand, a public tagging system other than some very simple predefined tags that could occasionally be used but don't have to be used is ok, while expecting me to come up with tags to describe the content of my posts will never work.

I will not use a tagging system like that. I hate using tagging systems like that. I have deleted and relabeled the content on my blog a gazillion times, retagging everything way too many times. I have come to the conclusion that I hate tags, except in rare cases.

If I am going to be required to tag every post a make with a bunch of stuff, either someone will be yelling at me all the time for not doing it or I just won't post any more. (or both)

And do we really need one like that? I happen to think the search on this forum is quite good, now...and I would prefer to use that.

If it is for internal use as mouser described, I don't mind. I just don't want to be forced to classify my thoughts beyond thinking about what section of the forum they should be posted in.

A preview before the tinyurl link should sort this out (e.g http://preview.tinyurl.com/p7a2v). See http://tinyurl.com/preview.php for details.

What's a preview and would it have prevented me (and others) from stumbling into Renegade's "Dark Dungeon?" (just teasing :) ).  Seriously, my concept of a "Preview" is essentially an abbreviated (size or duration) of the real deal.  I don't get how that would help?  I must be missing something.
