[ADMIN] Keep it in your pants and off my screen.

There's been something I've become increasingly aware of over the past couple of months. It's something that used to occur only occasionally so it was was easily tuned out or dismissed.

Not so much, now.

Yeah, those comments.

You haven't bought me flowers or chocolate, why the hell are you telling me about your intimate condition?

I admit I failed to address this issue properly when it began to bother me, largely because I felt like a hyprocite. I make dirty jokes and drop innuendo without batting an eye. And I like to. But it made me feel as if I didn't have a leg to stand on here.

Damn, I can be dumb! The difference is clear. easy. non-negotiable.

Allowable commentary is not personal or intimate while directed at an individual or object (real or fiction). It should never be personal or intimate. Meaning, don't give me nasty image of you... That's personal. It's intimate. It might be a joke on your part, or just one (not)clever/dirty way of saying 'she's hot', but spare the rest of us. We don't need that level of detail. There are more appropriate ways to express 'she's hot'. This isn't the 5th grade boy's locker room. It's an open, public forum and using that type of commentary, say, in the case of Kaname, is not just disgusting, it's disrespectful to the community at large.

FMP has quite a few hot ladies. And hot guys. And somehow most of the people here have managed to express their admiration for them without resorting to penis cliches or descriptions of er.. well, I deleted what I originally typed here for lack of appropriateness. It sets the example for what you should do if you type something nasty.

Now that a formal comment has been made on this topic, this is something that will generate warnings and the rest. If you aren't sure, and think you might PM one of us to ask, then you probably shouldn't bother in the first place.

Jae,

AMEN. That childish behavior has been making me uncomfortable.

Please check out my reply to the other thread

My intent last night was to lock one of these, but I forgot

I'll lock this one, and leave the other open for comments.

I don't want people to be uncomfy here, or really disgusted reading member comments, but I'll need help in determining a standard.
