    Mmhmm. That is essentially what it comes down to in the end.

    Instead of the word F*ck, try some alternatives that you think would work. Just make sure they aren't so offensive, and you'll be fine!

    I'm not sure why, but I find this utterly hilarious.

    If you want, you can PM me, or Skype me, and I can help you with some more, er, polite ways of saying such things.


    . . . Or do as Saikyo suggests. He's smarter.

    Second of all, the report button. It's there for a reason. Please use it. I edited it.

    I have nothing further to add to the actual conversation at this time. Please carry on.

    I'm not going to report something I don't think needs to be reported by me. If someone else wants to, that's fine.




    Back on topic, I find it quite common that emotions are expressed better through profanity, but it still ain't right to do.

    Actually, it does need to be reported by you, or any member. It's there because moderators aren't omnipresent.

    While that post was a bit outrageous for language, it doesn't necessarily have to be deleted. You can report it, and if deemed so, it could simply be edited with a warning like ePony courteously did.

    Pheh. I haven't touched that report button in a long time. Might as well start again, I assume.

    Yes, please do. This goes out to everyone.

    Before I became a moderator, I reported profanity all the time. Why? Because I didn't have the sufficient privileges to do anything about it myself. Sure, I could tell the member like you did about it, and believe me, that's very helpful. I appreciate that. However, it doesn't guarantee it will be edited. That's where a moderator comes in. We have the sufficient privileges to edit such things. By reporting it to us, you are helping us. I'm going to quote a moderator from a different forum, "We are mods with an M, not gods with a G." We can't keep an eye on every little thing. We also depend on you guys for assisting us. In short, allow us to help you out.

    Also, please don't associate reporting a post with someone getting in trouble. I'm not going to discipline someone for a small case of profanity if it isn't recurring. That'd make me a silly mod-pony. :p

    Anyway, I think that wraps up this little conversation. I don't want to turn this into a debate about profanity and proper post-handling protocols.

    Thanks for understanding! ^^

    That was my fear, I apologize. I thought reporting someone would get someone in trouble in this case. I'll be sure to use it more often now that I know about this!

    Back on topic~!

    I live in austrias countryside.
    I also don't like anyone in the area where I live (even family)
    I never loved anyone that I met in person (except my second ex who broke up with me on the meetup that was on the WE )
    I'm also in closet irl.
    I would prefer someone that lives not too far because such long distances almost never work out in the end.

    The country is a hard place to be gay, or anything other than straight. You don't say how old you are, but is moving a possibility? Not an easy thought, I know, but the alternatives are living quietly like you are now, or searching the internet for a partner (wouldn't really suggest that), or talking to people that might be interested (also very risky).

    And when you say you don't like anyone in the area, do you mean there's no one you're close to, even as a friend?

    Hmm, need a little more information - such as your ability to travel, how close you are to a more metropolitan area, things like that. You said you have had at least two ex's - how'd you meet them?

    Well 20 and moving might be possible but the thing is i cannot know where the right one is ad moving is expensive.
    I really want someone to hug and such so long distance will not work.
    no interesting ppl here.
    Not even a friend.
    Only friend I had before I got internet lives hours of driving away from me.
    Well my first ex trough a ponysite and some ppl there made a skype group then I met him and after some time
    he asked me out even tough I was interested in someone else (straight guy) and well I gave him a chance and
    soon I grew attached.
    My second one in the germanthread on ponychan.
    Which was distance wise not so bad.
    All through ponies xD
    Well the biggest city in austria is a few hours of driving away.
    I was there this weekend.
    Even if its the biggest city in austria, how should I know if the right one is there?

    You really don't.
    Life is about taking chances and hoping for the best.
    Otherwise life ends up being a string of missed
    Opportunities.
    Same basic idea for just about everything in life.
    Take a chance and see what comes of it;
    Though make sure to weigh the odds
    Of the change you're taking before hand.
    Otherwise you're going to end up gambling away your life.

    Please anypony, help me, I'm desperate! :,(
    I have had a relationship with a mare over the net for some time now, I love her deeply, it's just that she lives so far away (on the other side of the atlantic).

    She has been avoiding showing me any pictures of her, but I didn't care, the chatting we had was more than enough to fill my heart with love and joy. Today though, I showed her a picture of myself, and I got extremely curious to see what she looked like, so I asked. Her anwser was that she doesen't have a camera, she doesn't have a webcam or a mic, and she doesen't have any pictures at all at her PC because it was new.

    So I asked about her Facebook, here's when everything got really wierd. She suddenly wrote messages about not using FB anymore, I told her I still wanted to look at her profile, but she just said she doesen't use it anymore and she's going to delete it. I understood she was hiding something, thinking that she may be extremely shy about what I'll think about her look. So I asked her what was wrong?

    Her question was: Are you straight or are you bi?

    I think you can see where this is going, and your probably right. :( She's a dude, who had lied to me all this time.
    The thing is I still love him. But how the hell can I love a dude when I'm straight??? I'm not even sure what I am anymore, I'm not attracted to guys. What in the name of celestia am I going to do?

    Ofcourse our chat continued, there were a lots of questions and *crys*. He tells me he feels bad and understands why I hate him, but I don't.
    Anypony here who's experienced with this kind of stuff please give me advice, I don't know what to do. I love a guy who I am not attracted to (and haven't seen, actually) IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? :,(((( I feel desperate

    Hey Alex, sorry to hear you're so troubled.

    I think I can relate somewhat.
    Me and Miggy are in a relationship, and we are half way around the world from each other :'(

    We started talking on skype, just casual friendly talk, but it quickly (like 8 or so days) escalated into into rather homosexual ideas ( we both knew the other was a guy).
    Now before meeting him, I would have considered myself straight (I think he would as well), but perhaps a little bi-curious, but now I see it as not sticking to that label, I find myself straight with the exception of Miggy, he's just such a brilliant person, we have so much in common, and he has helped me get through depressive episodes so many times, but I still kinda struggle thinking about sexual activity with another guy.

    I suggest doing what you feel is right. If you still love him, stick with him, tell him how you feel, and I think he'll feel honoured by the fact that you still love him, even if you consider yourself straight.

    I would just like to say as well that I have seen no picture of Miggy, I don't think i've shown him any of mine, but we've talked via skype call several times, and yet I still love him. So i can safely say that I love him purely on his personality and characteristics, which is much more important than physical appearance.

    Hope I've helped at least a bit.
