We don't consciously filter swearing and subject matter, but it's always seemed to me that we have a fairly family friendly style of conversation here. But I'm sure there are certain specific criteria that need to be met to not have the site deemed to have "adult material". |

I won't clog up the thread with side posts, but when I said I was gonna block google, and all google related sites at 11am our time today it only took 7 minutes for someone to ask "why can't i get to google on the computer but it works from my phone" ...lol so i unblocked it and said "it works for me" and the one person said "yep, musta been a glitch, thank you for looking into that for me"---hahahaha |
