Just tell an Admin you want it changed.

They will do it without a problem.

Thanks J'Pol.

A pleasure - it may take a wee while, no more than a few hours usually.

They do it when the board is quiet, to save slowing things down too much.

i hate censorship but feel that a line has to be drawn somewhere..e.g. child porn.
children have to be protected at all costs, however that doesn&#39;t mean that a consenting adult should be barred from watching / saying what he wants ( this is where responsibility comes in )
when lived in the UK i used to hate watching movies on the BBC as they were edited for family viewing...even after the watershed.
Now i have no great wish to view pornography (honest it&#39;s true) however i remember virginia bottomly banning a satelite channel called red hot dutch in the UK (even though you needed a special decoder to get it)..her statement...we have to protect children from pornography. well i agree totally with that however as stated the channel needed a special decoder and it was broadcast from midnight to 4 am when children were asleep...so do we deny the right of sensible mature adults to their freedom because of one or two undiciplined households?.
since moving to the USA i have had to endure jokes about gaining the freedom to the right to agree with the american way. Even in the land of free speech censors are at work. it happens in government as well as the media.(i&#39;m not old enough to remember the comunist witch hunt) Why can&#39;t they release the kennedy files ?
i have no great issue with open broadcast tv cutting out a few 4 letter words but i do have issue with someone telling me i can&#39;t see something because it doesn&#39;t meet their "morals". As i said we have to draw a line at some point or the unacceptable will become normal, we just have to find that line.
it all boils down to personal freedom which is one of the most important things we have but then i shouldn&#39;t have the personal freedom to adversely affect someone elses life. Nobody of adult age should be barred from watching adult porn just as nobdy should be forced to watch it.
i don&#39;t know about everyone but i can make my own choices, if i don&#39;t like a tv show i can turn to another channel or turn it off...simple.
if i don&#39;t like a book i won&#39;t read it.
i don&#39;t know exactly where it happened but last year in an American town there was a book burning incident....was the book evil and deserving of such treatment?..you decide


the book was harry potter.....as i asked where should that line be drawn?
