MONEY INCORPORATED DIGEST #50
|
||
RELEASED 8 AUGUST 1995
|
||
WRITTEN BY: SLEEPY
|
||
|
||
|
||
TODAY'S TOPIC: WHY AOL.SUCKS or AOL's Secret TOS
|
||
|
||
MONEY INCORPORATED ARE: SLEEPY
|
||
SONIC FURY
|
||
CCRIDER
|
||
THE BIG CHEESE
|
||
JULIO
|
||
SEXECUTIONER
|
||
OFFIECER FRIENDLY
|
||
|
||
While re-aquainting myself with the net after being absent for almost 18
|
||
months, I have noticed a shocking trend. AOL has opened the floodgates, and
|
||
themorons have come tumbling out! Keeping with the Money Inc. tradition of
|
||
hating people for no reason, (they ARE stupid though), I have become a staunch
|
||
ssupported of alt.aol-sucks. Until AOL allows us access to their shit,
|
||
instead of being the town leech, I will continue to fight the war.
|
||
|
||
This is an internal AOL memo indicating what, specifically, "bad words" are. Most of these words
|
||
are sexual slang, but some others - most notably those relating to homosexuality - are also deleted.
|
||
Note also the policies, footnotes, and rating systems in this document.
|
||
|
||
It is impossible to contend that this document isn't a censorship system.
|
||
|
||
|
||
VULGARITY GUIDELINES
|
||
|
||
This section contains examples of vulgar, conditionally vulgar, and acceptable phrases and
|
||
subjects. Synonyms of these are usually unacceptable. Gender should not be taken into account; if
|
||
"men on men" is not allowed, neither is "women on men". Asterisks and other symbols cannot be
|
||
used to "mask" a violation if any letters of the vulgarity are still present. "F--- you" is vulgar, but
|
||
"my *** hurts" is okay.
|
||
|
||
Staff should use judgement in warning members who ask if certain things are vulgar. If the
|
||
member appears genuine, the staffer should answer the question via IM or E-Mail, or refer the
|
||
member to Keyword: TOS if they feel uncomfortable answering; they should also suggest that the
|
||
member restrict future questions to E-Mail or IMs. If the member begins to use the "question"
|
||
format to spout vulgarity, the member should be given a friendly reminder to keep such things to
|
||
private communication. If the member continues, a warning is in order.
|
||
|
||
If a phrase comes up that is not listed here, use your judgement to decide
|
||
whether to warn the member, and send E-Mail to your online supervisor to
|
||
obtain an official decision.

||
Key:
|
||
|
||
VULGAR: Unconditionally vulgar.
|
||
|
||
ROOMS: Vulgar in room names or screen names.
|
||
|
||
ROOMS (SEXUAL): Vulgar in room names or screen names if possibly sexual.
|
||
These words are only allowed in screen names or room names if other phrases
|
||
clearly make them not sexual. For instance, a member may not create a room
|
||
"Oral," but "Oral Roberts" is permitted. " Slaves here" is not allowed, but
|
||
"Free the slaves" is. "Jimmy69" would be fine, but "Ilike69" would have to
|
||
be deleted.
|
||
|
||
OK: Acceptable. These words do not, in and of themselves, constitute
|
||
vulgarity or sexual connotations.
|
||
|
||
1 * who want *: If referring to people, this is not allowed in room names.
|
||
For instance, "Men who want women" is vulgar, while " Men who want a car" is
|
||
not.
|
||
|
||
2. Bitch: Vulgar if an insultable person, place, or thing is being called a
|
||
bitch. "Life's a bitch" is fine, "My mom is a bitch" is vulgar.
|
||
|
||
3. Come/cum: Vulgar if used in a possibly sexual manner. "Cum over here"
|
||
is fine, "I come when I think if you" isn't.
|
||
|
||
4. GIF/Graphic Exchange: While not vulgar, this is not allowed in room
|
||
names due to the probability of illegal GIFs being exchanged.
|
||
|
||
5. Suck/Ass/Fart/Piss: Vulgar if used in a possibly or probably
|
||
sexual/vulgar manner ("suck me", "kiss my ass", "I just farted"), or if an
|
||
insultable person, place, or thing is said to be this. "The Redskins suck"
|
||
is fine, "Life sucks" is fine, "Jimmy sucks" is not fine. "Nirvana Kicks ass"
|
||
is OK, "Jenny is an ass" is not. "Rich is an old fart" is OK, "You should
|
||
hear my brother Fart" is not. "I'm pissed off" is OK, "Piss on you" is not.
|
||
Exception: A member may say that AOL, or any manifestation such as the
|
||
Hosts/Forum Staff, sucks.
|
||
|
||
6. Anti-AOL: We do not want to appear to censor members who speak out
|
||
against us. Anti-AOL comments, or comments protesting manifestations of AOL
|
||
such as Hosts, should not warrant a warning. However, comments which insult
|
||
or harass individual Guides or AOL employees should warrent a warning.
|
||
|
||
7. Racial Issues: Racial slurs are not allowed. Rooms promoting racism
|
||
(KKK Unite) are not allowed, but discussion of racial issues (KKK Discussion)
|
||
are.
|
||
|
||
8. Hot, wet: These are borderline words. Use your judgement, and consider
|
||
it vulgar if they're talking about "hot" as in sex, or "wet" as in feminine
|
||
moisture. Hot men/women/cars/videos/etc. are fine, as "hot" could be
|
||
referring to "good looking" or some other non-sexual thing.
|
||
|
||
9. Nudity: Discussion of nudity is fine; nude room names are a judgement
|
||
call.
|
||
|
||
10. Sex: This is a judgement call. "Sexy" is fine, as an adjective. The
|
||
word should never appear in room names or screen names as a noun (ILikeSex).
|
||
In other situations, use the context to determine whether the member was
|
||
committing a TOS violation. For instance, "Hey babe, anyone here wanna have
|
||
sex" would be a violation. "I didn't let my child see the movie because of
|
||
the sex in it" would not be a violation.
|
||
|
||
11. Dykes/Queers: This is OK if a member is refering to themselves. If it
|
||
is used "against" someone then it is warnable. However, this word requires
|
||
judgement.
|
||
|
||
There you have it, I have nothing to add to that slightly humorous memo.
