We have been thinking of some changes lately that we can do to GliderCENTRAL to keep up with the times while keeping the board on the same course and keeping our rule 4 policy. In the beginning of the year we took a small step to test the waters with some changes for GliderCENTRAL which can be found here. We think we have come up with some changes that everyone may appreciate, and this is a much larger step for us! First thing here is we are trying to move more to a "PG" rated board instead of a "G" rated board as many things have changed over the years. We are now seeing more words considered non G rated being used on News and TV shows. We have decided to remove some words off of the censor and have debated removing more, but we just dont see how allowing those words to be posted is needed at this time. We have also discussed on how far GliderCENTRAL should be going to protect and keep younger viewers from stumbling across things. In today's world a parent should have checks put in their computer to limit their access to areas of the internet, back in the day this was not something parents did or was practical for them. If they can read or see that info via posted here, they can also read it anywhere on the web. Parents should be restricting blogs, news sites, video sites, and photo sites not us. So we have decided that we will be allowing links to news sites, blogs, and sites such as esty as long as the page being linked to complies with rule 4. What does this mean? As long as the initial page being linked complies with rule 4 it will be ok. As always we will rely on notifications to help us if such content is found. The next change we plan on doing is to allow the use of non glider related videos to be posted here on GC in Community Hall. We will also be allowing the use of other video hosting providers such as photobucket, vimeo, yahoo after Eddie is able to code those video providers in. All videos must be embedded though. The last change we plan on making is some new smilies that will either replace some that we have that will stay constant, or find seasonal ones meaning Eddie would swap the images out a few times a year. Not seasonal as in thanksgiving, christmas, etc. Just something to bring change every once in a while to the board. Here is what we have come up with for the rule changes. The left side is the old rule and the right side is what will become the new rules for both rules 4 & 7. On the left the red means it's been removed and not on the new. On the right the red means it was added to the line and the green box means newly added to section. http://www.glidercentral.net/image2/rule_comp.png(click for larger view) Sometime later we will make the changes to the rules page and sometime tomorrow night users will need to click the box agreeing to the rules.

I love this. Not gonna lie, I was kind of offended (but tried not to be)when I got in trouble ( ) for saying, "H***" (<-- and I used the asterisks) I'm not a potty mouth I swear! I mean I don't swear!

I mean I don't swear! Please don't ever be offended when you get a pm from a mod, its usually just a friendly reminder of the rules and to let you know why your post was edited. If a word comes up as censored that usually means the word is not allowed here so when posted that way it looks to be skirting the censor and a pm is sent to say why it was edited

I guess offended isn't the exact word I was looking for...more like defensive, like, "Hey I'm one of the good guys, I'm with you! I'm a mom and I'd never say anything here that I wouldn't say in front of my own kids!"

bring on the new smiles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We know you all are anxious for those, and we're working on them. We need to get a couple of other things nailed down first.
Hopefully, by the weekend we'll have the smilies in place. Weekend is here...

These things take time, y'all. There are several changes going on at once. You guys don't think smilies should take precedence, do you?
Good things come to those who wait.
