Simply redefine the “shock posting” rules, now that we have our comm bans, to limit ANYTHING which could be identified by a reasonable person as “offensive” to being linked to rather than embedded. That way there are no surprises for people. And by “reasonable” I mean p much any level-headed person, probably someone who doesn’t play this game at all; you guys can use your judgment to determine what a reasonable person might say. It might involve some RP on your parts, but I think you guys can do it. I believe in you.

We tried that. That’s how it used to be. And lots of people complained.

Take for example goatse:

goatse no longer frightens me but I’m using its name because everyone and their mother knows what it is.

Not true. I never knew what it was before I came to this site. You bumume everyone knows what it is, but you’re wrong.

That’s why we discussed this topic ad nauseum.
