I'm kind of worried about the fandom.

    Again, not hating cloppers. I just don't want to see it myself.

    Turn on Google safe search and avoid going past page 3.

    A more absolute alternative is pouring salt into your own eye balls,
    But that may cause moderate discomfort.

    So that one thread where all the mods were discussing about whether or not we should be allowed to discuss porn is not allowed to have existed and all participating users, including the mods, are supposed to be banned?

    Besides, what happened to absolute freedom of speech in the US? You know, the one that can not be legally removed through any means?

    I concur,
    This has been a controlled and polite discussion (with hints of comical side notes),
    That discuss actual and relevant issues in a completely safe way.
    There is very little here that can be deemed inappropriate.

    This is also a international site with members across the world, one nation's laws and rights don't override anothers.

    Actually, EP is hosted on Glowhost's servers,
    Which are located in the United States, all such matters fall into the jurisdiction of the US.
    And further more: (Paragraph 2)

    The server is hosted in the US. Therefore, US (and only US) law applies here.

    Absolute freedom of speech is absolute.

    Welcome to the world of legal issues.

    I would like to point out,
    Legality issues involving intellectual property are an issue that concerns the fandom.
    SOPA, PIPA, The Charter of Rights and Freedoms, etc are all relevant.
    Albeit not clop.

    Wrong. This is our host: www.litespeedtech.com/

    We can deny the right to free speech, and can deny access of your account without giving any sort of warning or reason. It's quite a common practice with internet forums. Why? Because you're free to leave if you don't like it.

    And yes, let's not derail this thread anymore. If you have more questions go make your own thread.

    That's not even a server host. That's a software provider.

    And somehow I think that discussing the problems of a specific section of the fandom is HIGHLY relevant to the topic, if slightly more specific.

    I apologise for kind of starting the whole thing off. Although the conversation was pretty mature, discussing what to type into google may've been pushing it. Also, it was kind of getting derailed as well.

    We can always sit back, eat some pie, and wait for season 3. I'm sure the fandom will re-ignite for the better once it starts.:smile:

    100th!

    Also fandoms tend to get worse as the show goes on.

    That's typically because shows get worse as they go on.

    As for the fandom, as long as people enjoy it, then I think there will be good times and bad times, but we'll survive. We have so far!
