Arse Maniac! 38,164 Posts | Was there anything came out of the idea to move the servers elsewhere? Btw, I cross-posted this in Hanging Out, I think as many members as possible should see this. Maybe a link on the main page after you sign in would help? -- ~*~HANDICAPPER GENERAL~*~ UNITED HEADBANGERS OF MOIDAH SCOTTISH VIKING SQUIPMUNK MAFIA © ™ I KILL j00! : ISO 6807-1984 | |

USS Intercourse Sweden 5,388 Posts | Time to move the site? But I suppose it won't do much, you still need to go through VISA or similar.. I guess there aren't any other options for payment either? -- | |

Saz & Tarts Chewtoy Senior Moderator United States 13,632 Posts | Glampers: Was there anything came out of the idea to move the servers elsewhere? Aren't credit card companies international? If that is their policy, moving the servers wouldn't affect anything. Although if not, ther would only be a problem for US users then.

Arse Maniac! 38,164 Posts | It might help with the "freedom of speech" issue, I'm at a loss as to what to do about Visa, unless someone wants to start a credit company that will take the payments... -- ~*~HANDICAPPER GENERAL~*~ UNITED HEADBANGERS OF MOIDAH SCOTTISH VIKING SQUIPMUNK MAFIA © ™ I KILL j00! : ISO 6807-1984 | |

Forum Maniac United States 13,372 Posts | As Joseph Heller said in Good as Gold: "All change is for the worst!"

| Forum Maniac Croatia 2,445 Posts | Is the plan to delete the words only or would they be replaced - something similar to the A Fish thing. Maybe asterisks or something? Just wondering in terms of readibility for stuff that already exists. Cat | |

Forum Regular United States 631 Posts | Thanks to Aiken and to Glampers for posting this here. And of course, unimaginable as it is that as adults we can not discuss what we wish in an open forum, rather for, or against. It's better than allowing something that would result in this site being shut down or cause any of the site admins trouble. -- ~~:~~"Normal people SCARE me."~~:~~ | |

| Forum Maniac United States 4,285 Posts | I am really sorry to hear that I mean my stuff that I have posted is very far out. I put up a disclaimer and I know I offend people sometimes but for me its just making people laugh. I was looking over my old posts and its strange how censorship happens and people who are adults are treated like third-graders. I am really sorry and thanks for posting this Aiken. -- | |

| Forum Apprentice United States 460 Posts | Hmm... I don't know what else to suggest. Splitting the site in two really wouldn't be sneaky (n my view) as much as it's a simple way to get the "naughty words" off the pay site... I thought it was a pretty good idea myself! This action by Visa seems especially bizarre to me because it seems like it would cause the closing of websites that are set-up as support networks for victims of a number of violent sex crimes that happened to accept credit card donations, ect. I mean, you do have to discuss this stuff if your site asks people to donate... Also, it seems a subscription-based web site that dealt with mental health and offered a "dictionary of mental illnesses" would have to close too. Hmm... I'm really shocked there are no laws that deny Visa the ability to leverage this type of direct control over its merchants. This move on Visa's part is much too broad as I understand it. Best of luck to you in finding a solution! | |
