A Humble Request (Please Read)

Dear Readers of BSD,
We have been quite successful in building a very vibrant and active community in this little corner of the internet. And with the season approaching I think we can all expect to see participation increase as more people join and participate in the community. This is a great thing.
I've always taken pride in how civil and respectful this community is when compared to other blogs and message boards on the internet. You are all to be commended on that. But as new people join they aren't always aware of the culture of mutual respect we share toward other individuals. So I depend on all of you to welcome new members and show them what is acceptable and what is not.
On that note, I received a complaint via email this morning about some of the foul language going on in the comments. This came from an gentleman who likes to read BSD with his grandson.
I'm not pleased with the mental image of somebody shielding BSD from their kids for fear of what they might see here. So I respectfully ask you all to please keep the foul language to an absolute minimum. I understand we cover a man's game that can often times be heated and violent. There will be times during a particular moment after a bad play or learning of bad news that people will slip and say things they probably shouldn't. But it's a game that little kids love just as much as we do, and I want people to feel comfortable in letting their kids read BSD.
So here are some simple guidelines.
- If you wouldn't say it in front of a room full of third graders, don't say it here. If you wouldn't hear it or see it on network television, don't post it here. I don't care how funny it is.
- Respond to trolls in a respectful manner or do not respond to them at all. They come here to instigate a fight. Don't give it to them. Flag the comment to bring it to our attention and let the mods take care of it.
- Please help police yourselves. I can start issuing warnings and dropping ban hammers left and right, but I really don't want to do that. Mods who do that quickly earn reputations for being intolerant of differing opinions. Peer pressure is a much more effective motivator. So I ask that when you see somebody say something inappropriate that you leave a respectful response letting them know they are out of line.
I hate to put restrictions on the community, but I think this is for the best for everyone's interests. There's no reason why we can't enjoy talking about Penn State athletics without foul language. If you have any questions I can address them in the comments.
Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.
Mike

Agree, and thanks.
I brought this up a few weeks back in a comment, and was told by a few to ‘man up’, as this was a football blog, football ain’t for wimps, blah, blah, blah.
Still not sure what profanity has to do with any of those things, so, yeah – I’m with ya.

Does this mean...
No more Bacon Bras?
How could Nixon know so little about Watergate and so much about football ?
I was just about to ask the same thing...
Can we still post (barely) non-nudity pictures such as bacon bra or kitten in the bra?

Barely non-nude = clothed
Sounds pretty cut-and-dry to me.

Without re-posting the pic….this is what I mean.

It seems that the casual use of the word ‘barely’ has approached the same level of required discretion as an honest discussion of Zug around these parts…

NO NO NO...they're perfectly fine
They do not contain swear words or nudity…so I will happily post away with STB pics – maybe with every single comment.
Mark my words – not a single thread, fanpost or fanshot will pass without one of Buggy’s infamous STB pics!

One Caveat
Any time I get an email complaint or a flag from a reader it will be addressed in some way. It will either be done publicly like this or I will do it in a private email, a formal warning, or a complete ban. Anyone who feels strongly enough and cares about this community enough to take the time to draft an email laying out their concerns deserves some kind of response on my end. I owe that to them. So if I get a complaint about one of your comments, you can bet you will be called into the principle’s office.

I hope
That doesn’t invite a barrage of private email tattle-tales.
I hope that readers still opt first for public postings of cultural/behavioral concerns, rather than running first to the principal. I’ve loved the self-policing m.o. here and would hope that if the Granddad had posted his request to our community at large, it would have been reacted to favorably by the public.
Just hoping this doesn’t set up a counter-intuitive precedent. I’ll take all my reprimands publicly please.

I see your point
I hope it doesn’t come to that either. My first wish is that all issues are policed publicly by the community first.
Let me be clear that I’m not calling for a complete overhaul of BSD here. For the vast majority of you just keep doing what you’re doing and everything will be fine. If everyone just keeps in mind that kids are reading these posts and comments in an appropriate manner we’ll have nothing to worry about.

Could we still have an occasional post designated as NSFK...
(not safe for kids)? We could all save up our jokes, comments & pictures that are questionable till the next NSFK post comes along. I imagine it will still be no worse than R-rated since kids would read it if they wanted to.
Born and raised in the shadow of Mount Nittany
Another gray area
Links are another story. Am I justified in warning or banning someone for posting a link to something NSFW or NSFK?
I really don’t know the answer. It’s like what the judge said about pornography. I can’t describe it, but I know it when I see it.
Just use your judgement. If it adds value to the community I’ll probably allow it. Throwing links around simply for shock value probably doesn’t have a place here.
And again, any complaint will be addressed.

foul language
While I agree it should be kept to a minimum, I guess I never realized it was a problem (or even a norm) here.
Let's Go State
I think sometimes we reply so quickly on a hot button issue
that we do not even think about what language we’re using, we’re used to talking like guys discussing football and we don’t think that kids could be reading our posts.
by GoingDeep on Aug 13, 2009 12:06 PM EDT up reply actions
This is all well and good
But can we address the more pressing issue of a bookmark icon? I hate that little blank white page icon in my tab. BHGP has an icon. just sayin.
$0.02
This is one of the best behaved college football blogs, in terms of the volume of comments compared to the inflammatory stuff in the comments. Additionally, it’s very rare that we post any foul language in the main posts (as much as I’d like to, sometimes). In fact, the only sports blog I routinely read that has a lesser degree of comment swearing is Beerleaguer, which is ridiculous because it’s a Phillies blog and…well, Philly.
I don’t think it’s necessary to get into the “this is okay, this is not, this is acceptable, this gets you banned” weeds. Everyone does a pretty good job here, and should be commended for it.
Perpetual offenders are a different story.

Nittany Point of View
I am glad you gave some guidelines
It is hard to bounce from here to EDSBS, Black Heart Gold Pants(the dirtiest blog out there), and some of the forums on the pay sites and decide what is appropriate for each site. The best thing about this blog is the civility with which we treat each other and I am happy to abide.

"...goon-a-la-goun-ga...gung-ga-la-gun-ga...he said; there will be no money exchanged..."
Well, if you're going to 8 home games that reduces the risk of you saying something stupid
I’ll be employing that method. I’m also good for the away games as well since I don’t have a laptop and can’t simultaneously watch a game and participate in the thread, so that helps as well.
You poor soul...

Put a tarp on that circus! - showtime @ BSD
Actually I should have been more clear
I CAN watch a game and type since my TV was right next to my desk and computer last semester (I’m expecting a similar setup this fall), but they are perpendicular to each other. So I can’t have the two parallel and be able to focus on both at the same time. But yes, the “dinosaur” is sometimes a nuisance, but it was purchased when I was going to be living at home and commuting for two years, and wanted to use it to play computer games as well as do school stuff, so I needed something a bit more powerful.
I remember my life before BSD too...
When I would do things like play computer games, and arrange my room in a sensible manner. Now when I rearrange my room I MUST have a TV and computer side by side drawing weird looks from anyone entering the room.

Too bad George Carlin isn't among us anymore, RIP
We could really use a 7 (maybe more than that??) dirty words/things you can’t say on BSD.
I very rarely go above the S-word on here (and I try to keep the S’s to a minimum), and more often than not it’s “damn” or a derivative (but I don’t even know if damn doesn’t fly with a 3rd grader. It is in the bible, after all). But never the less, I will try to keep it down.
It may be sacreligious, but since Zug is everything and nothing, the name could be used as a swear

Or...

Since when did things not catch on?
Especially involving The Supreme Overlord.
As an aside, it gets a little awkward when I’m playing NCAA10 with my roommate and refer to Zug as The Supreme Overlord and then have to explain it.

Rather than invent new words
I have often used phrases that mean the exact same thing. For example, Mark Dantonio, I would refer to him as “a certain organ unique to the male anatomy”.
There’s also “that call was bull excrement”.
And who hasn’t been referred to as a “pain in the derriere”?
Probably some other substitutes that are avaiable. I’ll bet there a lot of commenters here that could come up with some that are pretty fracking funny, too.

I gotta say
that I can’t think of anything that I’ve ever read on this site I’d find remotely offensive (or that wasn’t later apologized for!) You’re more likely to find offensive banter on a site like cnnsi or yahoo than here. That speaks volumes for the type of people that post here (and in general, PSU fans).
I hate when people have to use their (grand)kids to ruin something. I already have to make concessions everywhere else in my daily life for other peoples kids, now a relatively clean site like this is under attack too?! You want offensive (and hilarious)? Go read Kissing Suzy Kolber or some of the posting on Deadspin. Then come back here and explain how what goes on here is corrupting your kids.

Maybe they live far apart and both follow the blog.
I have a lot of family members that check in on BSD just to make sure I’m alive from time to time. It’s an underrated way to stay in touch.
It’s cheaper than calling, and it’s less mindless than sitting around playing video games all day. It might even be called good clean fun for the most part. I guess there aren’t many things like that out there, and I’d hate to spoil it for someone.
I am still cursing from time to time though. But I’ll make a concered effort to make sure it adds some manner of “literary value” to the post. Rather than just having it be gratuitous.
I think I know what drew the email, and my guess was a big part of the problem was that it was [a] dirty, and [b] just didn’t add much.

But since it’s all total speculation on my part, I don’t want to call anybody out. Which I really would not be doing anyway, because I didn’t think it was offensive.

This all reminded me of the scene from 'Better Off Dead'
Where the mailman comes up to the house and asks the younger brother, Badger, “What’s a little boy like you doing reading big boy smut like this?” as he reads their mail, throwing most of it away before he gets to the house.
I didn’t really think someone in third grade would get more than 5% of the jokes or references on this site, as the writing, topics, and comments are really geared towards the 18-40 year old crowd. I mean, there’s a LOT of non-football stuff here, and the football stuff that is here is often of the “big boy smut” variety.
But, more power to a kid who wants to learn about PSU football!!!

Lee Harvey, you and your dirty mind, we would never do something like using a players name in a way that makes it sound like two parts of human anatomy! You’re crazy! ;-)

You'll be like that nutty
Christian right organization I read about back during the summer Olympics. The news reader on the site automatically converts any “naughty” language to something more acceptable. Any stories about a certain American sprinter had his name changed from Tyson Gay to Tyson Homosexual.

No, they'll be fine
especially since they’ll also be the name of their own hit TV series – “Coxson and Kuntz”. It’s sorta like how there’s nothing wrong with saying “Turner and Hooch” or “Penn and Teller”.
Or something like that.

Why is Snoop not leading
them to a pool full of jello?

Because he's a man who knows he's in Show Business
That there, that’s for the cameras, and Snoop knows when to kick back and take in.
Now, after the show….then it’s on.

Actually, I think Snoop is just keeping his distance
I think he’s smart enough to know that when you’re around Paris Hilton there is a three foot “Quarantine Zone” surrounding her that you don’t want to cross for fear of infection of some exotic mutant super bug. Whoever that other chick is (looks kinda like Carmen Elektra) has about three weeks left.

Yeah, another GIS post semi-fail
from jtothep. Was lookin for a screenshot of Amy Smart & Carmen Elektra kissing in Starsky & Hutch, but posted this….who might as you say be Paris instead.
