Oh other thing is that I have not or did not looked up the ip address at all because they are showing the same true color and attitude that it s coming from the same person as usual. You cannot fool us that easily. Thats what some hearing / deaf oralism did it all along in the past. I am not that stupid as you think.

At least moderator are doing a good job and be fair to all of us. Thank you again! ;)

How do you know? They easily have checked out in classrooms or in library or friends' computers at home. They may have asked their friends to print out hard copies or cut and paste on data memory sticks (USB Keys) and bring them to school.

I don’t know if you have noticed, but I do not post here when my children are home from school. Therefore they are not exposed to AD. Because of the safety blocks on most school computers, I doubt they would be able to access AD from school, due to all the inappropriate content on this website. Also, I know my children’s friends and their parents and I know what goes on in their homes. My children’s friends do not have access to the internet in their rooms, only in common areas such as the living room, just like it is at my house.

Eve, don't you admit that you have learnt more terrible/nasty infomation from the media, library books, orally infomation from your brothers/sisters/cousins and your friends at school. You have learnt more out of the world than living under the roof of your folks. I am sure that your kids would not inquire you since they know that you only provide very limited info. They can easily obtain more inform from outside of the world...

I have learned plenty in life, but as I said before, why do WE here at AD have to further contribute to the delinquency of minors?

Eve, if you do not like avatars, I strongly recommand you to visit the clean forum online websites. What's wrong with Disney forum? Don't you miss your AD friends with open-mind?

I thought this was supposed to be a DEAF-related forum? Why do DEAF and DIRTY have to be synonymous?

I strongly suggest you to STFU.

Such maturity! I strongly decline.

I can only assume you are referring to me. However, SM, you of all people should know my husband. You should know him because I met him in your very own chat site. Do you really believe that he has no internet access himself?

Hey Eve, Alex closed your stupid polls. You happy?

And that is his prerogative as the administrator of this site. However, you might notice that THIS poll wasn’t closed. Think about that. And just look how close the numbers are. I would say that there are enough people here offended by the material to warrant discontinuation of inappropriate avatars and signatures in the open forum. Furthermore, these numbers do not relate how many have actually LEFT AD due to the inappropriate content. Imagine how many more might come to AD if they felt comfortable that they would not be exposed to such material?
 
Simply said: Both personal and business Image are important for reputation. Offensivity (not a true word, but you get the drift) expands to the fullest potiental, whether it deems "profanity" even to the lightest degree, therefore all images related to sexual idea or preference should be limited to penisarium. It will render this argumentation moot and improve this alldeaf community image for more to come. Similiar to the community that we see out there in real life, there are buildings for various reasons and access depends on how old we are and sometimes how mature we are (in bars or sex store for instance).

How do you know? I think you missed something.

Don't you know that any kid can surf via the sidekick 2, Blackberries, new T-Mobile MDA and others wireless PDA with bluetooth. What about laptops with bluetooth and/or wireless cell? Any kids can meet at the mall or bookstore with coffee.

Why don't you visit any bookstore or library that they can easily find any nasty info via the Internet. Did you check the computers at the public library? Be sure to check the kids at the mall if they have cell phones/PDAs with web browsing...

Don't you know that AD has about 7,110+ members? Your Poll has about .9% voters. Toooooooooooo small. Too bad, you can not open your own polls and revise the long period.

I strongly believe that the majority of the AD popluation can assert....

(You may have forgotten your math skills, Let me explain you what majority of the AD memberhips is: you need to ask 3,555+ AllDdeaf individuals to revise the AD Policy).

Good Luck
 
I guess my children lead a very sheltered life then, because I DO know what they are exposed to. Besides, they are too busy with cheerleading, karate, acting, cotillion, rock climbing, chess club, and diving, to spend much time online in such trashy surroundings.

That's a pretty stupid comment.
 
I have to agree with Mookie. Even though I never did create another account with AD. I am capable of changing my grammer, and that I know how to fool around with IP address. It does not take much to fool administrator, and everybody else.

The only way can tell is time.

Alot of polls I have seen on AD is really mostly biased and surely turned me off. That is why I don't care about these polls. So is most other intellegent members too! They can tell if it is biased or not.

This time, I finally made my first polling thread and that is to give an example what neutral polling is all about.

Now figure out how many of those are active in the forum. Many of those 7,110 have never even posted ONCE! And many of them left for various reasons, some due to the inappropriate content of the forum. Since they are not here to voice their opinions, we will never know.

So far it is fairly even in the poll.

I havent forgotten a thing. As I previously stated, you are not going to get that many votes, since there are not that many active members. Alex is not stupid, he knows how to read the numbers. I only opened this poll to get an idea of how other's felt on the issue.

Well you admitted it while I didnt say it s you only. There are more people than one person if you mind.

Stop being so self centered all the time, please. Think of others that I always do.

Rolling my eyes!! For pete s sake!!!

Thats a real pretty stupid for anyone being so self centered all the time. Sighs!

Most users ever online was 3112, 11-14-2005 at 01:04 PM.

How do you know? You only had 58 counts on your poll as of my post date and time.

You need more than that....

Thank you so much. Sighs! It is actually out of control of their icons in some ways. RATED X should be in one room to be locked if they are willing to pay for it.
 
Since alldeaf is a forum and FREELY provided for BY ALEX, out of his OWN POCKET (for this software, bandwidth, space and so on) and ON HIS OWN TIME, I think it is BEST for him to express his own decision on how this should be dealt with. We should be GRATEFUL for his such generousity, not to rumble, argue or bash anybody or this forum on whether this should be that or otherwise. This is the GREAT privilege for us to meet, discuss, influence or to learn from others, WITHOUT CHARGE. In critical reading/writing point of view, polls are not a deciding factor on how policies should be changed or determined, it is just an opinion amongst us. Let's stop beating around the bush and give USEFUL suggestions TO ALEX and leave things up to him. Alex is VERY generous guy who tries to promote the image of deaf population and examplify them to the norms that WE CAN FUNCTION TOGETHER REASONABLY just as effective as the norms.
 
To Mookie and Tousi, please quit fighting about polls and start the constructive discussion that can help us.

Oh forgive me, generally when you are referring to “hearing / deaf oralism” you are referring to me. I tend to forget that you lash out at ALL oralists, not only me.

I agree, but Alex has also given us a feedback forum and even asked for us to vote on this certain issue. He does respect our opinions and we should be grateful for that.

Hey, Linux, good to see you. Your comment was unnecessary cos I was civil and that's fortunate because I was in the middle of the "civil war" these past three days or so, trying to defend the mission of AD while you weren't.
