Beware if you frequent the FTL BBS

You're probably thinking FTL supporters are being rounded up, but it's nothing so dramatic.
The adolescents there have taken to including hardcore pornography in their signatures  ::)

Some of the pics -- and the associated comments -- are admittedly hilarious.
But really, they're all over threads not otherwise marked as "NSFW", and which, as such, can get you in trouble at work (or even while at home, but behind a corporate VPN out of necessity).

Anyway, I know that, like myself, some Undergrounders post over there, so be forwarned.

You can always hit the "Report to moderator" link and an admin can go in and change their signature images to portraits of Hillary.

That's wussy -- and besides, Lindsey is on top of things. She knows what's down, or will soon. It's her forum to moderate, and her call.


And no, I will not make the obligatory comparison between Hillary and porn.

There is no comparison, porn is useful for some folk and much less objectionable
in general.

Wow . . . that pencil picture is pretty fucked up.  I don't blame you for leaving.

Fluff and Stuff

As long as you don't leave, BRAD!  We love you.

:D  Gosh, it must have been a year since I posted on the FTL BBS.

Fluff and Stuff

It didn't have anything to do with me, did it?  Since our 1-1 talk about my posting on the FTL BBS I have tried to be better.  I don't want to let you down...

Braddogg

Gosh, you give yourself so much credit ;)  I don't remember the conversation, was it when we were NHLF roomies?  I simply ran out of time, started posting more over here.

Puke

I always have signatures turned off.
I can't see a thing.

Braddogg

When you turn off signatures, does that also block the avatars underneath their names?

Brasky

Yeah?  I'll have to watch for that.

On the profile page, under the "Look and Layout Preferences" tab, you can turn off other users' avatars and signatures.  I know it's a huge inconvenience to most people there for work-related and visceral-related purposes, but there's really not much that can be done.  I have to say again that I don't think it would have been brought to this level had it not been given so much negative attention.  Unfortunately like the rest of the folks over there, I have to ride it out as well.  Since the software has those features, I don't think we're going to remove their pictures.  I can try to go through and mark every thread they've posted in as NSFW, but I really feel that it would be an exercise in futility for all involved.  I can't help it if certain users don't have respect for other users, but I apologize to those who won't be able to use our forums over there for a while.   :-\

What is FTL BBS?
How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?
