I was wondering what sort of language is and isn't acceptable on JamStudioForum. I know that the s-word and f-word both aren't allowed, but after a moderator used the a-word I'm not sure what the language limitations are. I'm very conservative morally, and am a bit of a puritan; I tend to shy away from websites that use what is intellectually garbage to express themselves. Is there a clear set of rules somewhere so I can know what the forum's limits are? Alternatively, you could just post a list of all the bad words you know, and I could report you and see which ones get edited. (That was a joke; I don't recommend you actually post such a list.)

To start with You didn't hear a moderator use an A-word. The  language filters built into Jamstudio wont let an A-word get in so be sure you get your story stright Vectizzle.Now if you are talking about a sign in a yard pic just say so.Some of you kids need to get a life.

If the word is filtered, then why would it be allowed in picture form? Or is there another a-word I don't know of? And yes, I am talking about a sign in a yard pic. I'm used to getting hostile responses for trying to get a sense of what the rules are, and then seeing that I help by reporting any violations. I'd think a moderator would be glad to have users interested in seeing the rules enforced. Besides, when representing a business it's not good policy to tell a customer to get a life.  Even if you're not financially affiliated with the brand, it's good form to be a good representative.

Then again, I hear rock is about rebellion, so maybe you'd get more customers if you treated them all like dirt. Try it and see how it works for you. Wink

Hello Vectizzle and Ant.
I feel the need to weigh in, here, seeing how I'll say I'm as guilty as anybody for using descriptive language stronger than you, Vectizzle, may wish to see in print. I will only speak for myself.
I guess when language, that at one time may have been considered to be foul or profane, gets used on a regular basis in tv, on radio, in newsprint, and the street, it becomes a little difficult to ignore. But it is when these words are used to belittle, to insult, to defeat, and power over any person or idea, is when the words actually become damaging and foul. And when these words are used without thought  and become modifiers for any old verb or noun that comes along...well that's just downright dumba$$ $#!+!
There are words I don't want to see in print, or hear next to me on the bus...it's the ignorance and stupidity that bother me.
And, Vectizzle, this sort of language, sometimes referred to as obscenity, foul, or bad, might be poor form but, really, there is absolutely nothing intellectual about it. Garbage? I'll grant that, but intellectual? Naw, no way...
We are here to have some fun, and that includes kicking back and going yeeeeeehaaaawwww every once in a while. We're living in a free world, and sometimes the price is just that you have to take a deep breath at some of the dumba$$ $#!+ you see and hear going on and let it out slowly, say "There but for the grace of God..." and walk on.
Rock. On.
Talk. On.
Yours in tolerance and understanding,
Wyatt

I swear a mean streak, so I don't particularly appreciate swear filters. I'm extremely pro-free speech, basically. But seeing as how this is a music creation website, I don't have a reason to use the stronger half of my vocabulary anyways.

 Grin I think that Wyatt has Prudy much said it all. The Doctor said I has a condition.

AAADD

KNOW THE SYMPTOMS......PLEASE READ!

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
Somehow I feel better even though I have it!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.   

As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table,
put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills
back
on the table and take out the garbage first..

But then I think,
since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table,
and see that there is only one check left.
My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the
can of Pepsi I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks,
but first I need to push the   Pepsi  aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Pepsi is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi,
a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye--they need water.

I put the Pepsi on the counter and
discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk,
but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter,
fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I'll be looking for
the remote,
but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,
so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
but first I'll   water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers,
but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to
remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:
the car isn't washed
the bills aren't paid
there is a warm can of
Pepsi sitting on the counter
the flowers don't have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all  day, and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem,
and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail....

Do me a favor.
Forward this message to everyone you know,
because I don't remember who the heck I've sent it
to. By the way what was we talking about?

lol funny Grin

Vectizzle dude
i'm a christian as well, but probably a little older than you. You will learn to be a little more tolerent, if you want to be a good witness you need to be more mature a bout these situations. being a tattle, complainer, and or a whiney baby doesn't make you a good witness for Jesus. The bible clearly states "be ye not offended". the way we win others to the lord is through love. love is not puffed up, easily angered, or other wise quick to find fault in others. Dude I only say this because you are very quick to judge be careful the same way you judge others is the way God will judge you. don't be so quick to point out others mistakes if you don't want yours pointed out as well.
