Call to end innuendo

“Ok, it is time for all the innuendo thread titles and messages to stop. I’ve been lenient about this in the past, but as part of my crack down on trolling, I’m going to start enforcing restrictions against posters who frequently spoil the message board with middle school humor. We’ve had plenty of discussions about what is/is not appropriate, and obvious innuendo is out. I’ve sent regular posters on extended leaves in the past and I am prepared to do that again. Just because the Internet is so called “anonymous” does not mean that morals and ethics are thrown out the window. Think before you post and realize that this site gets plenty of traffic. That means your mother, wife, children, co-workers, friends and relatives may see what you are posting. Leave no trace on the trail, and leave no trace on Trail Talk.”

“Thanks, Matt. I'm all for your crackdown. Returning today from over a month in the mountains, things did look cleaner. That is, until some of posters got carried away.

If possible, could you post or send by e-mail to me some links to some of those discussions. Thanks.”

“RIGHT ON!!!!”

“could you also do something about all the thread title misspellings? makes us anal-retentives go crazy. ;)”

“I'm in.

though I really don't associate with threads that are to far off the beaten path (pardon the pun) so I'm not exactly sure what is going on.............call me nieve.”

“hey how about spell check............for Tea that is”

“What drew me to this message board from the other was the humor. Some of the parody threads are just plain hillarious. I remember reading my first thread here and laughing harder than I ever had on the other site. But hey, it's your site Matt. Do what you want. Just thought I'd put in my $0.02”

“End innuendo? Wow, life just wouldn't be the same. There would be two shows on TV....... and your friend's mom would talk like Donna Reed.

>8-O EEEEEEEEK!!

But of course, do what you think you must, Matt. It's your site. I however, did split a gut when I read Strat's thread about, well, you know what. Appropriate? Probably not. Funny? I split a gut and spit out food I was eating, I was laughing so hard.......”

“"mother, wife, children, co-workers, friends and relatives"

and dont forget


SPONSORS

its a commercial site, in case anyone hadnt noticed. but they do get away with alot on commercial television.

this is matts site. he has the right to request from us anything he wants. but anyone other than matt demanding that ppl clean up their language is just plain presumptious.”

“I agree with Tarbubblebaby!

You're the man Matt.”

“brown-noser”

“Has anyone listened to syndicated morning radio lately? "Johnboy & Billy"? "Lex & Terry"? The Federal Communications Commission is totally out to lunch as far as any kind of decency is concerned. 'Money talks and you-know-what walks' is still the law of the land, I suppose. I wonder, how many children are listening to that?


Tangent Alert....

FYI... I just heard on the news that Total Information Awareness isn't dead. Congress didn't kill it; they only stopped it from being implemented. It's still being developed.

It's also gotten a name change (for marketing purposes?). They get to keep their neat-o acronym, tho'... Terrorist Information Awareness (even though it'll be YOUR information that they will be collecting).

I wonder what they'll be collecting from sites like this. Nothing? Something? Anything?What's to inhibit them?


If they're really out to get you, are you still paranoid?”

Lots of jokes and one liners about bodily functions and hair in weird spots.”

“<clousseauvoice>NUT ennymore!</clousseauvoice>”

“Man...a forum like this is really gonna screw up their data and show some major deviations...LOL. I mean, just the thread "What if Victoria's Secret made backpacking clothes" is really going to screw up their data.”

“I'm not really a fan of innuendo; I'm just not that kind of guy. You might ask bacpac, though.”

“Yall do realize the "matt, the wabmaster" is no the real "Matt The Webmaster" don't you?
Sounds like some of yall actually thought it was.”

“errrrrrrr...”

“I hope the TT Matrix didn't fall under that guise!”

“oh well I was hoping to read the George Foreman thread before it got deleted - sigh - too late again”

“I would like to see who started a thread next to each thread title in small print like I have seen in other forums. Is that possible?”

“uhhhhm......i have no idea what he's talkin about....

8x”

“innuendo, n, a hint or sly remark, usually derogatory; insinuation.

tilt, 1. v, to slope; incline 2. bacpac's bytch.”

“How about an end to all inappropriate talk including that which includes racial and ethnic slander?

Or is it politically correct(here) to slander a people such as the Irish or Polish or Germans or Norwegians or, pray tell, even the French?”

“Well if that wasn't really Matt the webmaster, let's bring on the innuendo! Let's start rockin' the trailer!”

“STOP IT, you country fool!!!

You knock the trailer off the blocks all them dogs are gonna die!!!”

“As a country fool, I am offended by your insensitivty, Tom. Why just ther other day I put a new set of tires on the roof and re-arranged the old appliances in the yard.”

“Don't forget to mow.”

“Mow?”

“It covers up the dead spots in the yard.”

“Re-arranged the old appliances?

Anal, huh?

Can't anyone find anything wrong with Merliners?”

“I thought an innuendo was an Italian suppository?”

“I just hope you don't chill the board too much, Matt.

I can appreciate an approach akin to FCC vs. Pacifica, but I hope we don't get to the point where this looks like the other board.”

“So, maybe there's a secret forum where all the moderators get together and chat, and bp2go has been giving Matt a hard time for the freewheeling nature of thebackpacker, so Matt is just trying to to crack down a little to get bp2go off his back.

I know, I know, I probably just earned myself a "temporary vacation". Sigh.”

“Hmmmm,,, the "moderator conspiracy".....that sounds plausible.”

“Hey, look, I can still post. Woohoo!”

“Queen
Innuendo (1991)
Innuendo

While the sun hangs in the sky and the desert has sand
While the waves crash in the sea and meet the land
While there's a wind and the stars and the rainbow
Till the mountains crumble into the plain
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
Tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin' yeah
Just passing our time
While we live according to race, colour or creed
While we rule by blind madness and pure greed
Our lives dictated by tradition, superstition, false religion
Through the eons, and on and on
Oh yes we'll keep on tryin'
We'll tread that fine line
Oh we'll keep on tryin'
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

Through the sorrow all through our splendour
Don't take offence at my innuendo

You can be anything you want to be
Just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be
Be free with your tempo, be free be free
Surrender your ego - be free, be free to yourself

Oooh, ooh -
If there's a God or any kind of justice under the sky
If there's a point, if there's a reason to live or die
If there's an answer to the questions we feel bound to ask
Show yourself - destroy our fears - release your mask
Oh yes we'll keep on trying
Hey tread that fine line
Yeah we'll keep on smiling yeah
And whatever will be - will be
We'll just keep on trying
We'll just keep on trying
Till the end of time
Till the end of time
Till the end of time”

“lol @ mtn gal!

so waht's this hubub about sacks and violins?”

“First they came for the innuendo
and I did not speak out
because it was only innuendo.
Then they came for satire
and I did not speak out
because I don’t do satire.
Then they came for the haiku
and I did not speak out
because I hate haiku.
Then they came for the vowels
and there was nothing
to post anymore.”

“MHJRTPDFK?”

“the jokes and thread degeneration is fun and all..but you gotta admit the false threads, and other stupid crap was getting childish..even from my point of view..and when a mind on the level of a 3rd grader says your a retardhead..that's saying alot.”

“Can we also get rid of the worthless annual “Boohoo, Jimmi Hendrix is dead!” threads. What a waste of space!”

“LOL @ Violin!”

“Nigal-
Last JMH's birhtday was the big 6 0.

Awwww, you don't like him because he dressed like a hippy, huh?

Hippiphobe!”

“lost....”

“I think Viokin has hit it on the head. Combine that with the post by Bit about a secret moderator's society, and you have the answer! They sit there and go "yeah, well, you should see this one poster on MY site. The other day I was randomly deleting posts, and...."”

“WHAT?!
HENDRIX IS DEAD?!!”

“I agreee!
