OT: I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but apparently I have the pottiest mouth in the East, and, anyway, it looks like the old Wonkette banlist is back — it wasn't present in the old Wonkville — which means if you use the wrong sequences of letters, your comments do that "pending for moderation" then disappear thing. Should we (I) sweetly ask Pixel if we can get it removed, or am I the only one who has a pressing need to be a filthmonster? If no one else cares, won't bother New Dad.
Oh, that word's banned here? Yeah, in that case it might need to be removed. It's been a long time since I saw a joke about that on Wonkville and it actually blocks legitimate words, one of which actually might have use in a gun post.
Or math/sciencey stuff! Also too, some of the other stuff on the banned list make it impossible to discuss Game of Thrones. Or p0rn.
yes, on this page and on the main one, I can't talk about areas of math that involve sines, cosines and tangents…and seriously? Fuck.
The past two days have been Nice/Fun Time dominated so I haven't gotten my badmouth on. You mean bloody curse stuff, or words related to a certain famous child and status thereof?
Or spammy stuff?
I'd rather not have a word filter.
I haven't explored the limits of it (we could try!), but, yeah, the ones they used to have on the main page seem to be blacklisted — the T word, but also a word referring to non-consensual sex, and sex between siblings (I swear, I had a good reason to bring those up). I'm not sure what is on the list, but I think we're a small and select enough group that we could probably be trusted without any list, right?
Well once we actually have mods other than Pixel we can deal with it if anyone new comes around and takes it too far, so that would help if we don't have a list as well.
……..I guess I agreed with that while you posted.
Well it seems like we're on the same page, at least!
Yes.
[ I admit I did play the T game some when they first went frenzied over it, b.c. { asshole? } protest response to their being frenzied, but truly their rules so accepted it . Otherwise not interested in the issue ] Do we have mods yet? I'm not as far as I know, maybe wise on Shy's part. If there's the occasional troll or something that wanted to use those words for irrelevant purposes, a mod could work that.
We don't yet, but Pixel was mentioning the possibility a while back so he didn't have to approve everyone's first three posts and the like himself.
I emailed him yesterday and volunteered, but haven't heard back. With the three post rule, it might be good if one of us regulars is a mod, whoever he picks, since I'm sure he's too busy to pay us much mind.
I don't like the possibility of one among us having too much power, but that's just me.
Well, he asked who wanted to be admins yesterday. I assumed we all volunteered. I mean, ideally, we would all be mods.
That's why I didn't volunteer. Everything's kosher, as far as I'm concerned.
I figured we needed at least one person for that, just to approve people's first submissions more than anything else. I didn't apply, but only because I have a tendency to get distracted for like a week or two on other things then come back. Honestly, I'd be okay with basically anyone here but that might just be me. I'm not sure anything other than that will be needed in reality.

Just looked at the front page of the NYT's web site to see the white house illuminated in a rainbow. F A R O U T.
Niagara Falls and the Empire State Building, too. Tonight's all about the rainbow.
Wait, Niagara Falls? Did we just have an international gay-light?
I think the falls themselves are in Canada, run by some independent non-profit park thing. TIL they do all kinds of special light things, including for our Independence Day, Canada Day, lots of stuff, kind of like the Empire State Bldg.
The horseshoe falls are on the Canadian side. the "linear" falls are the americian ones. Have you been?
No, I'm single
Hah! First time I saw them it was a family vacation- tent camping. We were on The Maid of the Mist when a tornado hit (!!!). Second time was wintertime when I was at RIT. Beautiful in the winter too. Highly recommended. Me and the (quasi) missus have never been there, together.
(Apparently, Niagara does the rainbow lights every June 1st for Pride month, at least the last few years, but they brought it back special today, since, well, they could.)
It's those beautiful Canucks.. : D
Cool. Saw that somewhere and thought it was P-Shop

No, that's perfectly normal paranoia. Everyone in the universe has that.
Becca tried to ban me repeatedly when she became Editrix 'cause I was being a turd (I really was). I was testing the limits with stupid 'tard' comments. The banhammer didn't work. I was suprised, and then I probably shut up after that.
You beautiful hippie! (That was lovely. Thank you.)
At least I have an excuse!
I'm 18 with 32 years' experience
there's got to be some sort of Bayesian filtering going on. It just ate a couple image posts, probably based upon URL info (nothing obvious0
I used the term "fucking" as an adjective on the main page today and it ate my first post. Posted exact same thing 2 minutes later and it was fine. Fat electrons? Sunspots?
thanks Obama
Is 'pigfucker' on the list?
I hope not b.c. that's one of my first go -to's.
OT as well but I now want to quote to you the weirdest reason I've ever seen for someone not liking this gay marriage ruling.
The decision's reasoning affirms the christian/neoliberal marriage project that refuses to attend to poverty at any level other than the married couple. Also it makes marriage sound gross
LOL. Well, I'm pretty sure marriage is either gross or it isn't, no matter what the Supreme Court says. But the first sentence is so confusing — is this person saying that liberals only want to help poor people if they are married? I… no, I don't know what he or she is saying.
Apparently we're all just part of the right-wing Christian conspiracy (he calls right-wing neoliberal) trying to keep poor people down by wanting gay marriage. It was also added that this was a clear attack on #blacklivesmatter by some strange logic. I want to note that I've seen this guy make comments for a couple of years pretty routinely and I'm pretty sure he's actually not a troll.
Ah, yeah, I've seen some people who are passionate about certain civil rights issues being less than gracious today, as though somehow this victory harms the fight for anything else, when it's so the opposite of that.
Oh, fer sure, but I'm pretty sure today's ruling didn't make marriage obligatory. Or did it? Shit, I better read more than the last paragraph. There may be fine print I am unaware of.
It was mostly a carryover from the main page where they had a troll problem for a while (until they started doing that moderate comments thing, and now I don't know how it works with disqus).
I have actually moderated at one place before. I was like 16 and it was known for being spammed by invasions of Brazilians. Maybe I'm cut out for this after all.

I haven't come across it yet, but if you want to ask about it go ahead. I'm sure I'll trip over something by accident at some point.
I would note which words are banned, but that would, of course, tri…uh, set off the ban.

No Maid of the Mist, too!
She's out with her girlfriend tonight, sorry!
The Maid of the Mist is out with her Missus
Why are there so many…songs…about rainbows?

Ah, youth. Crap, none of us can be trusted with being a mod, can we?
least of all me. that's why I'd be perfect!
I would totally trust Zip as the Mod.
It's better than Cats, I want to see it again and again.

My brain melted.

Ah, yeah, I've seen some people who are passionate about certain civil rights issues being less than gracious today, as though somehow this victory harms the fight for anything else, when it's so the opposite of that.
But it's clearly impossible for humans to think about one thing at once! Oh look, a chicken!
Helping one group does not mean you have to shortchange others. Sad POV indeed.
BTW, I'm totes OK with you including anime pix like that along with your posts
I'm actually amazed that it took 90 comments for someone to post something about the pic.
Well, I like to give my more thoughtful comments before I remind everyone that I still essentially have the brain of a 12 year old.
Pardon my Gen X, but Marriage is Always Gross. However, Everyone Should Have the Right to Love!
Oh, fer sure, but I'm pretty sure today's ruling didn't make marriage obligatory. Or did it? Shit, I better read more than the last paragraph. There may be fine print I am unaware of.
I think everyone was too distracted by Scalia's dissent to actually read the real fine print.
Yeah, see my earlier post. It's truly disgusting that he's on the high court, but every now and then there's a huge victory.
I'm caught in between you X-Men and the Baby Boomers, and me and my sweetie are still not married! Huzzah!
Hey, can we get another Blue Crossword?
I actually hadn't thought about that.
It was mostly a carryover from the main page where they had a troll problem for a while (until they started doing that moderate comments thing, and now I don't know how it works with disqus).
that was lame
One of the scarier moments in recent memory. Thank goodness they never actually found us.
There's an extension for that.
No, it wasn't. If it could be an all-Blues crossword I would sign right up. A Blue Crossword, however, is different.
I'm just glad it wasn't /b/
Brazilians
We can call it Blue's Clues!
I enjoyed that when Kid Glass was little. Although, let me get this straight, the dog can't really talk but the soap and the mailbox can? Brown acid?
He might possibly cynically like that. (first clue=adverbs)
that's what she said.
That was a riot too.
They didn't like it so much when we visited their site.
I have actually moderated at one place before. I was like 16 and it was known for being spammed by invasions of Brazilians. Maybe I'm cut out for this after all.
