I think they should just make backlot completely un-moderated. Whether or not they decide to leave it as a pay only feature!

i'm actually a firm believer that every forum needs one section that is completely rule free except for
-*warning* or *nsfw* mandatory for threads that require it, enforced by mods
-no illegal crap like bomb schematics or kiddie $$$$$$
and that's basically it.

I am in agreement with you flojo... We are all adults (argueable I know ) and paying members.... why should we be censored as to what we can talk about.. especially in the case of the offensive joke thread... That thread was clearly marked as to what it was, meaning if people dont like things of that nature they were warned not to look at it.... It was posted in the backlot forum, meaning members only, and only members over the age of 18....so where is the problem?

But as to any society we are subject to douschebags I like to call snipers.
Ill explain what a "Sniper" is.
So everyone know what a sniper is in the military, someone with highly skilled aim and focus, can hit damn near ANY target from "virtually" and point or distance. Tactical at taking out targets.
So a literal Sniper is someone who will sit and watch, someone who can and will get offended, by the smallest target, no matter how fast or slow moving, no matter how small or larger, no matter what it is.... The sniper's sensitivity is so intense that they can hit anything, and by that I mean they will get offended at anything and try to take the target out. They keep a very sharp look out and will be offended, will hit any opportunity you give them to be offended.

Examples of Dousche bag Snipers
Someone who goes into a strip club, and then becomes offended by the nudity.
Someone who clicks the offcorner forum and becomes offended by the jokes.
Someone who goes to a drag race and is offended by the dangerous speeds.
Someone who doesnt eat meat and then goes into a steakhouse and is offended by the menu.
And a story of snipers in the wild... I was at one of the hospitals I work for and seems a older white lady had filed a complaint against 2 younger black guys for using the "N" word. They were outside on a break and she happened to pass them in a parking lot, I guess and they exchanged the word in a form of endearment to each other, and she claimed this is racist and offensive to her. I dont understand how or why, she wasnt black, she was never enslaved,... but I guess she couldnt miss the opportunity to be offended by something.
