FallowEarth Posted November 30, 2006 CID Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hey all, I realize that we have seen a lot of changes here at TMN. But one thing we should not do is let it go. Let's keep things clean here, so that we are not detracting from the appeal of this site to potential members. Below is attached a picture. The 3 topics show titles which are not totally appropriate. I'm referring to "Ass" "Pissed" and "LMFAO". Although we usually let swearing slide in the forum, it is not necessary to broadcast in the topic titles. We are, first and foremost, a technical help forum. Let's bring that back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I promise to exercise more restraint IMHO we have of topic, we have tech stuff, do people google LMFAO and get TMN ?, so whats the reasoning behind this thinking , OK keep it clean , that I fully agree with that , good natured banter off topic is the heart of TMN, IMHO , there are as you know many Tech forums out on the Internet ,if you cant take the off topic , it ain't compulsory reading BTW but TMN is unique in it's friendly formula , Imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill do my best to remember to keep clean titles from now on i guess, but as i said i dont think words like rofl lmfao or something are inappropriate for post titles.

Sparticus Posted November 30, 2006 CID Share Posted November 30, 2006 I think that if someone wishes to express them selves lightly INSIDE the thread thats fine. I don't think that the titles should include inappropriate language . (Piss or ass, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan314 Posted December 1, 2006 CID Share Posted December 1, 2006 I think that if someone wishes to express them selves lightly INSIDE the thread thats fine. I don't think that the titles should include Piss, or ass. Agreed again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that the titles should include Piss, or ass. sound logic from both members , OK TMN is maybe in the dolldrums at the moment , yes there have been changes, most tech problems have now been sorted I guess for m/s problems with Xp they have just about been solved well as best as they can be, I think a lot of members bypass the Help topic, I do , not being that Tech minded, so maybe you guys with the knowledge should pay more attention there ,(please ) well it saves me from being a Pratt there personally I think we should thank not only Ca3le for putting up with us , but also Mr. Gates for his up and coming Vista I am sure it will keep the Tech mined members busy for A few years and if Water /Tdawnaz stops teasing us guys , that will be the death toll of TMN , IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted December 1, 2006 CID Share Posted December 1, 2006 So my silly turn. What does LMFAO mean. There should be a terminology dictionary in here under the guides section. Maybe another good start would be to start "Speaking English"! I feel so dumb asking all the time what something means. I guess the worst part is I don't even understand the first post to even agree or disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
