    Good luck getting your Google Ads account back.

    Ive had to deal with it and it takes an act of god to get them to reinstate the account.

    Also the swear words are a load of crap, Tons of other boards have swears and have google ads. Something else is up.

Or their youtube service to find all kinds of videos that contain every cuss word in the book, and when counted up would be about 50% vocabulary used in said video...................... Now all then sudden they dont like curse words....... Seriously W.T.F.

      I'm torn. Like most other folks around here I genuinely appreciate the effort that James and the crew do to facilitate this forum and also make it a point to patronize forum sponsors whenever I can. That being said, revising r3v's language policies for the purposes of appeasing power hungry, bossy douchebags really rubs me the wrong way.

      I don't like it cause it slows my reading down. I have to read over the sentence inserting words until it makes sense.

      Now, setting up an autocorrect that substitutes curse words for funny phrases/substitute word would be swell.

      Sucks cause it was my favorite site, but I have found myself trolling other forms more due to the "PC" direction the site is going. I personally don't live to "PC" standards and do want to do it while relaxing on line during my own personal time..
      So to those who make the rules :finger:

      I've noticed that r3v was my favorite but I have been slowly migrating to other forums. R3V had this kick ass swag to it but it's faded away.
      Don't get me wrong. I will always love r3v and hate most of you at the same time. Thanks to everyone that keeps this bad boy alive!

          PERKELE !!!


          also, not being able to say bull**** is ridiculous, I know most ppl probably know what's under the "*"'s ... but still ..... common ...


          Also, can we still type like normal and if a "swear" happen to slip in here and there it's still all mm'kay to mods.. I mean the "bad" words that make baby jesus cry all get "*"'d now, so..?


          edit: but it's not a big deal, a game server I play on have the no swear rule and you adapt xD

            My guess is lots of traffic from Jalopnik looked around on R3V. Those people had no idea such internet tom-foolery existed, I suspect. I can imagine complaints, to google, from many demographic groups. That brings on the heat. Complaints=reaction.

            I wonder if a petition will help. lol

            Also, maybe the under-age drinking thread and weed chatter. Maybe the religious threads...maybe, maybe, maybe, etc.

            Strong-handed of google, not to specify the issues.

            The wildness of the webs was fun while it lasted. /rant

            I think R3v is a fantastic site! Thanks to the people that make this site possible.

            QFT

            How valuable are the google ads?

            Could the site run with it's own rules for a small fee from it's members?

              My small site was making 100 bucks a month from G-ADS with probably 1/100 of the traffic that r3v has.

                They replaced the f-word with "Frack" on Battlestar Galactica, and I'm pretty sure everyone still knew what was being inferred.

                Not sure why this is causing such an uproar.

                    I don't usually use profanity in my postings but it saddens me that most words are no longer an option.

                    It does however make me happy that I can still call someone a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffle without being censored.

                    I'm tired of censorship in general. James has posted that he doesn't care, and I believe this to be the stance of 95% of sane adults. It's other 5% of people who cry that are ruining the world. I'm exhausted with this ongoing PC trend.

                      I'm away from r3v for 2 days and no more swearing or asses!?!?

                      In all seriousness though r3v still offers its users more freedom then any other BMW forum (of a comparable size) that I've been on :up:

                        Come on guys. Is swearing really necessary?

                        Take this as a challenge, not a challenge not to swear, but a challenge to come up with hilarious substitutions for swear words!

                        Maybe r3v could have a swear jar where you pay like a dollar for every word you use. LOL.

                          By the way we are going to be banning your Avatar due to the fact that it offends nonmembers here at R3v..

                          Shame on you.
