Re: Policy Update : Heads up!
I personally think the concept of cuss words is silly and arbitrary. Why do we choose to get offended so much by random phonemes stapled together? Flipping someone the bird is another example of manufactured obscenity. I can't help but laugh when people get bent out of shape by that. But you know what? That's a cultural thing, not a RealGM thing. RealGM is exists within multiple cultures and does what it can to avoid offending. Who the Fritos am I to say how they should run their business?
Tom Gores' Securus faced a class action lawsuit in 2024. The company engaged in a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with county jails in Michigan which banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls.

Re: Policy Update : Heads up!
Have people never been on the Internet before?
I've tried following the Pistons sub on Reddit because that environment feels a lot more relaxed, but their posters are a lot less informed than what I see here.

Luckily this board has had AWESOME mods over the years save for one cocky jackass who flipped his middle finger at everyone.

FWIW, me too ... and I still needed to disable Flash. I used to use Safari and the ads on RealGM would crash my entire system (and I'm on a Mac, so that's actually pretty tough to do). On Chrome, the browser would just hang up until I got the "Unresponsive tab; do you want to kill?" message. Once I disabled Flash, I have had literally zero problems whatsoever.
i am not much of a computer guy and you very well may no a sh* ton more than me. But it maybe have to do with your OS if its older or another virus on your computer. I occasionally have lag problems(when f* toronto fans blow a load), but i never have ad pop ups or flash problems on a regular basis.
This is so far off **** topic that I felt the need to throw a couple of **** swears into this sentence for the filter to catch!![]()
I'm not a full on tech-geek computer guy, but I am a Mac-head 'cuz I've worked in graphics most of my life. The problem seems to be between Mac's newest couple of OS's and Flash. I've researched this, and apparently any Flash component made in Adobe's newest software will have problems in Mac browsers. Naturally, Apple claims it's all Adobe's fault and they don't need to fix the OS while Adobe claims it's all Apple's fault and they don't need to fix their software, so the end users wind up getting screwed while the billion dollar companies are in a pissing contest. But thank you for trying to help!
Edited to add on topic — hey, whaddya know? "Pissing" is an approved word!

Yeah that sub is pretty piss poor when it comes to great analysis. The guy that makes those long-winded posts about the team also gets on my nerves for whatever reason. It sounds informed but underneath it is a lot of patronizing and faux intellectualism to make himself sound better than he is.
You have to look at r/nba for decent content that gets pushed time to time.
