I don't mind profanity, as long as the quote is good. A random-ass pointless quote should go, profanity or not.

It's not about what YOU mind seeing. I mentioned before that our members are pretty much immune to the F-bombs. But it looks bad to new visitors and VIPs or casual visitors who are being shown the site. I vote to only allow general audiences 'classic movie quotes' and keep the profane (even if they are funny) quotes out.

I reported him. We should really be on the lookout for bots. We should talk to Bunny to see if there is any way to put some better anti-bot protection here.

I think , first and foremost, that the stupid Transformers ones have to go. Second, I don't think profanity is an issue, as I've stated before. We can't cap movies with violence and gore and then eliminate foul language because of it's offensive potential, that makes no sense. As far as professionalism goes, I think it's right to want to make the site look more professional and uniform, but taking swears out is just going to make the place look silly.
The ones I'd like to see go from the like are the Transformers quote (both of them, actually), most of the Shoot 'em Up quotes, maybe the Superbad one cause the humor presents a generation gap. The quotes from Terminator, Lock Stock, Snatch and Lord of War should stay and never be taken down because they are either from good movies or they are just memorable quotes, their length or adult language content be damned. |

Anyway, I imagine that people who find profanity offensive probably find guns and violence just as offensive, in which case they're likely to think of our site as "bad", regardless of the profanity. Have you ever met anyone who liked firearms but was vehemently opposed to the use of 4-letter words? I sure haven't. Maybe this is anecdotal, but everyone I've ever known who shoots guns also swears more than I do. That being said, you are still going to need to tone down your own swearing. Aside from the fact that you sound awkward doing it, I find it annoying because you're playing a stereotype of how Americans speak. We don't walk around saying, "What the motherfuck?"

I just don't usually think of "actors" and "VIPs" as synonymous (since I have friends who are actors, all of whom are hardly "VIPs").
