Just curious about the overzealous word-censoring

[OldGray]

When you guys set up the website, who turned up the automatic word-censoring up to ANGRY PREACHER level?

There may be members under 18, but you guys even censor words that you would hear in a sermon.  Are Chevy truck owners really that delicate?

this is a family oriented site. if you catch me at work (prison) im cursing like a sailor, in front of my kids im 100% pure lol. its kind of nice to be able to kick back and enjoy this site. i mean we dont deal with name calling or bickering and curse words on a site thats supposed to be helping each other out, you really dont need to curse.

Hey, it's not going to make me leave or anything... I am just surprised how strict it is.  Reminds me of being a kid and getting chewed out by my pal's crazy catholic grandma for basically nothing.  YOU HEATHENS!

I guess one man's floor is another man's ceiling.

I don't know what all they do at Budd's Creek....which is only 20 miles from me....But I have seen some trucks around this area going someplace...I am still working on mine so I haven't been driving it much.

I notice we get off of trucks now and then like our jobs and star wars and even personal stuff, which i think is fine, and even a nice break from the truck talk, which actually helps us to get to know each other a little better. However, i find it interesting that i never see anyone even in a friendly way compare sports teams or politics.

Well there is only one football team...Steelers  and as far as politics i am not gonna even breath politics with the way people are getting blown up today.

[philo_beddoe]

I agree, Patriots is the team! Lol. And i agree again, i wont dare talk politics or making America great again. Whoops.

Im from MA, so you know all the teams i like. But lets not talk sports unless its friendly or we can include chevy trucks somehow. 

Respectively....

I drove my M1028 to the Patriots / Miami game last weekend in Foxboro.

Nice Fitz....way to show up at Gilette!

Oh, and not to change old gray's post. Perhaps i'll start a new sports/chevy truck post.

[Irish_Alley]

lmao this post has taken a 180° turn. this is why i love this site, most things usually turn out good

[80Chevy4x4]

Ok time to turn it...Update on politics.........the rust has decided to take over the quarter panels even though the primer was elected to reign...the sander is getting his army together to overthrow the rust so the paint can hopefully reign in peace again.   LOL
