This has been brought up a lot recently with the revived push for new members.
Too many random BS posts (be it crude, sexual, etc.) are flooding the boards in random places. Certain threads are understandable (like in LR&AR), but to post about "tit hats" in a "Letters of Recommendation" thread is getting annoying. I understand that this is the internet, yadda yadda, and I don't necessarily mind random crude humor...but we will not attract new members by continuing such childish e-behavior. BUT!!!... we mods have been chastised in the past for doing such things as controlling excessive language. SO, what's it going to be? Free for all and no new members? or Mods keeping things as the rules say & have a more friendly messageboard to attract newer members?
