Sorry I missed your first question and thanks for reposting it here.
Before I answer your question, please let me post a couple things from the guidelines.
#1 - Avoid cases of unprovoked rudeness to others. No place for it here. Yes, with the dynamic nature of the threads and topics, tempers will flare and things will become heated from time to time. You may often encounter individuals who become passionate or emotional when expressing one's opinion or point of view. That's all understood and perfectly acceptable within reason…….but, start slamming or bashing another member and be met with consequences.
#3 - Disrespect to others, IN GENERAL, will be considered an item of low tolerance, especially when posting in our coed forums. Follow the Golden Rule and treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. This applies to fellow members as well as staff. We do not require that you have respect for us, but we do require that you treat us respectfully in the public forums. If you feel the need to vent, gripe, or blow off some steam regarding a staff member's action or decision, we ask that you keep it private. Email, RTM, or the PM system would be the appropriate avenue to take in such cases. In cases where you would like to request additional clarity about a staff decision, you are free to pursue an answer in either a public forum or private means of communication. If handled publicly, post your inquiry in a respectful manner.
#4 - Blatant insults or hostility toward another member will be met with staff intervention. This applies to using our coed forums for name calling, personal attacks, or vulgar slang terms to describe fellow members. If you have legitimate concerns about another member here, share them tactfully in the appropriate private forums or with staff.
Now with these guidelines in mind, let us take a look at post #1

From my point of view, it looks like you are asking or encouraging people to violate the guidelines stated above (unintentionally I'm sure) and if they were not disrespecting someone it would be off-topic. Unfortunately, as clever as that was, any post in the public forums (especially in co-ed areas) must conform with the guidelines. For example, you are not allowed to speculate on member's health issues even if you were to start a thread called "<insert members name> suffers from rectal itch - Discuss". Anyone doing so would be subject to warnings, points or even a ban. So, I decided that it would be in everyone's best interest to close the thread and let those who enjoy a no-filter, no rules thread know that the Spider Hole is the only area (it being a private invite only posting area) where that could happen here on ECCIE.
I do hope that answers your question and I apologize for any confusion it may have caused you. As always, I will strive to be better.
