    The actress thread gets pulled but 10 pages of t-bagging is just fine ? ? ?

    I'm confused :confused:

    In all honesty... I love this site... But you'll find there are things that don't make very much sense... I presume you'll find this in every aspect of life.

    Certain topics really don't need to be brought up on a site like this. After all, there are a lot of younger people here and we want to encourage youth into this sport. They can learn all about those things at deer camp if they like, but we don't need to promote them.

    Honestly, the tea bagging thread went a bit too far and I can take some of the blame for that. I saw it and didn't lock it, which I should have.

    So, carry on, but keep it clean and remember who some of our audience is.

    I think maybe the OP thought it was ironic that the owner of this site... Participated in one... but closed the other...

    I think it was the location that set the actress one off. Instead it was posted in the Bowhunting page. The T-bad thing was at least in the proper place.

    People forget that this is NOT public forum that needs to allow free speech. They can censor and do whatever they please which includes changing the rules on the fly as they see fit.

    Quite honestly they give a pretty long leash in most cases and then give that choke collar a yank once in a while.

    IMO, all is well.

    Dan you are doing fine. I was waiting for that thread to go south and turn bad but it never really did. Everyone was reasonably well behaved considering the topic.

    One was about harmless drunken pranks, the other blatantly objectified women.
    While both seemed to tread thin ice, I can understand the difference.

    Monitoring will help keep this site from being like every other site. Thank you.

    Agreed. I would also like to point out that talking about other people like these very real women, using their names, is far different than talking about what YOU did with nameless friends. Would you like to see a group of men talking about YOUR wife/sister/mother/etc, using her name, like that in a public forum? I know I wouldn't appreciate it.

    Of course there is a difference, but I think it can be agreed upon that both were in poor taste and don't belong on this Forum.

    I'm with Dan on the Teabagging thread - we let it go on for too long and should've removed it immediately when we saw it. While I don't personally object to the content of either thread, it's our job to make sure we keep this place as clean as possible.

    I'm sorry for bringing such tension and unrest among the BH family. I will never forgive myself.

    I'm not sure exactly what happened. But I know it must be Vito's fault. That kid is trouble.

    I would say if the owners want to close or move threads, so be it. Its their playground and we are just here to visit and play by their rules. I have a lot of respect for what they do. Can you imagine trying to keep a handle on this bunch!?

    I also think Justin should ban himself for a few days for admitting that he took part in some questionable pranks in college. As for Hooker, well......I dont even want to go there.

    Rules are rules and we must follow them if we want to be on here. I also think that the staff here dose a good job of enforcing things on the site and they try to let us do what we do without interference. I'm sure that if it wasn't for the youngsters on the site things would be a bit different. Having kids myself I can respect them trying to keep it as clean as possible and I think they do a good job of balancing keeping it clean and letting us do what we do.

    So as long as we condone Gay actions it ok? Or at least ok longer? Not saying I care about either thread as I had no problem with them, but when enforcing said "rules" It's Not ok for guys to talk about woman... but perfectly acceptable to rub our testicles on each other faces...?? As originally stated... a little confusing.

    Really I had no problem with either thread... just giving my .02

    Neither thread was acceptable for this Forum, which is why they were both removed. Yes, we let the teabagging post go on longer than it should have because we're trying our best to not have an overly heavy hand with what we regulate. After a few PMs from members regarding the content of the post it was removed. I'm not sure what part of that is hard to understand.
