Bravo! I'm with you. It's democratic; they have the right to try to advertise here; I have the right to flag 'em. Thanks, Tony.

John

I so agree. They can try but it's up to us as a community to say we don't want 'em. Majority rules right? I'm starting now, gonna go through all them blogs and flag all of 'em that I think don't belong. Of course, I hope it's not just my opinion that decides, it needs to be a community decision.

What I saw this morning upon logging in was a real eye opener...good grief I didn't want to see that...I'm with you I'm not here for the ads or the occasional porn pop up ninnies...I'd prefer they just go away....I might start keeping a pair of dark sun glasses handy in case of emergency...I'll call them my thoughts shades.

LMAO! Pita you are such a ray of sunshine! It's up to us to make sure we let it be known we don't want that crap here in our community. Guess I can live with the occasional ad. But porn? Come on! I never had occasion to see the boobies you had trouble with, glad I didn't I get too many of them at home! ROFLMAO! (BP joke I guess. Or maybe just my sick head! Ask STL!)

Excellent question. And should they? Freedom of speech you know? Thin the community should rule. Vote, flag it as innapropriate.

I knew what you meant. e have no control over that. unfortunately it's up to the webmaster's to remove it. All we can do is vote.

They flag most of my stuff... I just keep writing hahhaha. Good post.

Hey Tony,
Yes it's a good idea to use it, so long as it is for extreme stuff. Often the best way to deal with some of the 'trash' is to ignore it and walk away.

Hope you are well :)

I've walked away long enough. Time to reclaim our community. I'll be very careful about what I flag but obvisous spam, porn or oturight personal attacks are fare game. Until I learn a better way I'm gonna voice my opinion by flagging them! Guess they can flag me in return! It would probably serve me right!

EasyToSay - If we ignore it, we'll just get more of it ... others will think that it's accepted and add theirs to the site too.
I'm with you, Tony51203, somebody needs to know that we don't support this stuff.

Great! Let's let it be known! No more trash (ESPECIALLY PORN) on Thoughts! It's OUR community and we've gotta do what we can to keep it clean!

Oh, and just call me Tony. the numbers are optional, even superfluous! LOL!

I come here to vent!! I get my porn elsewhere! Dammit, can i combine venting therapy and porn? dont' think so.

i think the porn belongs somewhere else. LMFAO - I am so frigging drunk! Went out to adelphia's and I'm wasted man!

what was it
what was it,
somebody tell me,
you are all talking about 'it' but what is or was it?
and is it gone? did someone make it go away and where did it go, and will it come back?
I ask a simple question
but no one will answer it

Lets just say a dog would have recognized the position. You're better off not seeing it. I think "they" finally got rid of it!

Yay you! I'm with you! hets start a Revolution!

Revolution Number 9, Number 9, Number 9

Viva la revolution!
