well, i can understand that i guess, but in other threads i've seen people posting about smoking pot in multiple posts, which is illegal in at least the united states, and that wasn't censored at all. so it's not like they're trying to be family-friendly all around.
plus, if they're moderating every thread anyway (which it seems like they are, or are trying to), i think posts to legal porn sites shouldn't be an issue, and they can remove the crazy offensive stuff as they go like they have been. i mean, they were able to find the thread about the porn links, which clearly says NSFW and "adult" in the title, so it's not like they would have a hard time removing actually offensive parts of it, as they've proven by removing pretty much every post in here that has any value.
if they're going to censor porn, they're going to have to censor talking about weed, and anyone cursing, if "family friendly" is the goal here.
but i think android knowledge is the goal here, and what mobile video sites work is a perfectly valid topic IMHO. way more so than dropping your J in the car and using the LED flashlight to find it (for example). just sayin. still love the forums, i just think that rule is poorly thought out.
and i'll ask again in case anyone has any idea - *where* exactly is this rule posted? nobody's been able to point me to it yet.
