In the recent past there have been a couple links and pictures that have been questionable in content. I firmly believe that we are all responsible enough to handle these posts, however that is not the issue.
The issue is that Harvey needs sponsors to keep this site going, and we should all want to do everything possible to encourage sponsors to donate to what most of us believe to be the best site on the internet.
I am just asking that you think twice before posting anything questionable here so that moderators don't have to try to delete them before sponsors or potential sponsors see them.

I kinda liked the flashyourrack thing, but that's a good point, there has been some questionable stuff that could sink the site.

In our world today there is very little material that can be called truly offensive even to the most open minded or rebellious person, but I do agree that people should def respect other people when it comes to other peoples values and morals

There was also a couple of pictures uploaded with people lighting up. I dont care at all and find it funny, but sponsors might not like it. Good thinking Rebel!

I agree with Rebel,
Some in-appropriate content would be telling us how high you got or what chick/guy you got laid with.
A serious intelligent discussion about drugs and whatnot is perfectly ok.
SO next time think about what you are about to post and if you think it isn't offensive post it. If you think 'hey they can't censor me' well you just may have to look for a new site because Harvey can't get sponsors and will ultimalely run out of funds to keep this site going.

This site will never be corporate and censored. Rebel just wants people to use your head when posting. It would be great if we could attrack a few sponsors, harvey would really apreciate it!

ski2824, I'm not asking you to do any more than what you agreed to when you first became a memeber of the site.

Everyone else, Thanx. I appreciate it, but more importantly, I'm sure Harvey appreciates it.

I like palm trees.
I like to ski, but I hate the freakin' cold. Us indian people weren't built for the cold. Why can't ski hills have palm trees?

Eh sorry for posting myself blazed out of my mind, it seemed a lot funnier at the time, plus you have to consider the fact that it was 4/20, what did you expect?

Rebel is not saying that the site is going to become 'corporate' and will have to censor anything.. I think that people get so hung up with anti-capitalism that they think that anything related to a corporation is the devil.

If a company, be it a corporation, sole-proprietership, or a hobo, wishes to advertise on the site, then what's the problem? Does this mean that our site has gone corporate? No... but why does it matter? Has anything changed? No. You still are bound by the terms of agreement you signed when you joined the site.

If you are concerned about becoming corporate and leaving to another site, would it be better to not have any business relations with anyone and have to shut down, forcing you to go to another site? If Freeze, a corporation, decided to advertise on the site, would you run away to another one worrying about Newschoolers.com becoming too corporate?

We do not want material on this site that is distasteful, racist, sexist, whatever, and that actually has nothing to do with sponsors. Even if NS had no advertising and couldn't care less about anything in the business world, we STILL wouldn't allow it.

Yea free condoms would be awesome, but look at the average age group on here. Most of these kids don't even know where their penis is :)

Burns: We don't have to be adversaries Homer, we both want a fair union
contract...
Homer's Brain: Why is Mr. Burns being so nice to me?
Burns: ...and if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours...
Homer's Brain: Wait a minute, is he coming onto me?
Burns: I mean, if I should slip something into your pocket, what's the harm?
Homer's Brain: Oh my God! He IS coming onto me!'
Burns: After all, negotiations make strange bed-fellows.
Homer's Brain: (Screams)
Homer: Sorry Mr. Burns, but I don't go in for these backdoor shenanigans. Sure
I'm flattered, maybe even a little curious, but the answer is no!

ski2824: In 1999, they made digital signatures legally binding. That means that if you are at a page that says 'By clicking this link, you agree...' and you click that link, you are signing a legally binding contract. When you joined NS, you signed a contract agreeing to 'No pornography'. If you did not agree with the terms of becoming a member, you had the choice to leave without registering. It is my obligation on my side of the contract to see that content that disagrees with the contract be removed.
