Funny, I've realized that I've fallen into the typical caricature of the American (as shown by our TV) - violence is ok but sex is a no-no! LOL.

Anyway, anybody with ideas on this it would be appreciated. TNZ is different from the rest of the board, certainly - but how much is too much?

• Let all political discussion alone, as long as it doesn't dissolve into a two-person pissing and flaming contest.
  
• Close all threads dealing with the advocation of rape, genocide, or other major criminal offenses.
  
• No porn or porn links, obviously.
  
• Never resume image posting. It's just too risky, especially with posters age 13 and under having access to that forum.
  
• Seriously enforce a limit of three new threads per day. I know that Enterpriser's reduced posting new threads, but others may not be so willing.

Can't say I agree with that one.

First of all, it wouldn't take too much of a stretch to argue that the current Israeli policy is in fact the destruction of the Palestinian people. Immoral as it may be, genocide is a not an uncommon strategy for pacifying an enemy. Whether it's the Nazis in Europe, or the American Army in the 19th Century West, it happens again and again. Euphamisms like "Manifest Destiny" are sometimes used, but the bottom line is the same. And it needs to be debated.

Secondly, I would assume that if I started a thread about hunting down and killing Osama bin Laden it wouldn't be locked. If I started a thread about hunting down and killing Rick Berman, I expect it probably would be. Some leeway is required.

Third, as for the rape threads, I find them distasteful as well. But for better or worse sex is one of the primary topic areas in TNZ and the value of free discussion on the topic outweighs the value of forcing our values on the degenerates who post Rape Kira stuff.
