Admin: This is why I need you to ban me

[mavsluva]

Admin,

I wrote you on Tuesday in an attempt to have my user account banned from this site. You told me that you would gladly do so if I were to give you a good, legitimate reason for doing so. We'll, here's your answer.

The Adult Forum - PLEASE understand that I have nothing against anyone who's a fan of this kind of material. I do, however, have to look out for myself because believe it or not, being a member of this forum makes me guilty by association of whatever material can be found within it.

It's a very small world out there, and now even smaller with the world at our fingertips via the Internet. I'm not ready to accept the fact that a member of my church could possibly log on to this site and see David the "Youth Minister" as a member of a forum that contains pornography. So it's in my best interest to be banned from this site immediately.

I have lots of pictures of myself on this site and I will ask that all of my posts and threads be removed if possible. That would really help me out if it can be done. I chose to post this message via a thread rather than via PM so I could have proof of my intentions in leaving this site (should the site administrator choose NOT to remove my posts and threads).


Most of you know that I talk a clean living on this site and have done so now for over two years. Well, I'm more concerned about walking the good walk than I am talking the good talk.

Grace and Peace as always and good luck to all,
Mavsluva

I hate to see you go Mav's and do what ever you feel you have to.

I can understand what you are saying but being a member of a site about steroids is ok but not one with a small adult section?

[StoneGRMI]

Why does the adult section make you look any worse than being a member of a forum that supports something illegal? Whether or not you have used (I know you haven't) or not it still links you to something illegal. Just curious...

PS: I hope you can work something out within yourself to be apart of this community because from many of your posts you seem to help a lot of people and we need more of that here, not less.

I've posted the fact that I do NOT use steriods in about 20% of my posts. I do this for this very reason.

I post the fact that I do not use steriods all of the time to protect my rear. I don't just do this to drive the steriod users crazy.

Then you should post that you don't look at porn in 21% of your posts and call it a day.

[305GUY]

i understand what you're saying about being a youth minister and all.. so i respect whatever decision you decide to make. just funny that now we can speak about religion but it comes with some porn too.. lol.. i hope to see you stick around...

[RA]

Im unsure why you need to leave mavs. Its like anything else. You dont like the program dont turn it on...you dont like the music switch the radio. I could go on but you get my point. No one is forcing you to view that section and being a member here doesnt mean you condone it.

[C_Bino]

Well I cant ban you but if you like I will go delete all of your photos.

[bigboy003]

Mav i totally agree with you, i feel like if i wanted to look at a porn site then i know where to go, this community should not be about porn, but educating people... i think that having an XXX section takes away from that and makes this board trashy...just my two cents...

[mavsluva]

Then you should post that you don't look at porn in 21% of your posts and call it a day.

It's not that easy. It's like I said. I'm not ready to jeopardize what I bring to my church because I'm guilty by association in regards to this site. There comes a time in life where you can't have everything so you're then forced to put your needs in front of your wants.

[LawMan018]

Lol... I'd hate to see you go Mavsluva as you hold a lot of wisdom that much of us appreciate on this forum. If it gets you to stay I'd stand by you in deleting the XXX forum.

[kfrost06]

Sad to see you go Mav! I too enjoyed your post. I don't like the forum anymore than you but I will simply refuse to go there. Hopefully it will not attact the perverts to the rest of the forums else it will drag down the entire site. I sent you my e-mail, stay in touch

Best wishes,
kfrost06

[perfectbeast2001]

Shame, I would rather keep mav and lose the porn.

[mavsluva]

Well I cant ban you but if you like I will go delete all of your photos.

PLEASE do so Bino. I knew I could count on you, man.

Thanks.

[mavsluva]

I'm not worried about me wanting to view it. I just can't be part of the crime so I have to go. I will lose my status as Youth Minister of my church if I get seen on this board.

you may not mean it that way. But honestly what are we doing wrong? That you are guilty by association. I'm not guilty of anything because i looked at a picture

[C_Bino]

No prob. I'll just go cook all my meals and then do it. Cuz I will prolly be at it for a few hours lol.

[C_Bino]

Wait, Mavs my man. How much do you want gone? Like ALL of your threads and posts? Or just photos?

[mavsluva]

You don't get it. Church Ministry and pornography are like water and oil. They don't mix! I'm not allowed to be a part of a place that promotes pornorgraphy. It's that simple.

[mavsluva]

Any and ALL of everything that pertains to me.

[C_Bino]

Ok done. Lets watch ur post count disappear.

[Mogamedogz]

I just can't be part of the crime so I have to go.

Looking at Tits and Ass is a crime?? (Seriously asking).

[mavsluva]

You also don't get it. It's a crime for me to be a part of a site that promotes pornography. You're not committing a crime by any means. I, on the other hand, am doing so and could potentially lose my position as a Youth Minister.

[m8intl]

You don't get it. Church Ministry and pornography are like water and oil. They don't mix! I'm not allowed to be a part of a place that promotes pornorgraphy. It's that simple.

But you're aloud to be a part of a place that promotes illegeal drug use because you don't condone it, right?

Didn't Jesus hang around prostitutes. Well, stick around and cleanse our wicked souls.

In all seriousness, why can't you change your avy, take down your pictures if they're a cause for concern, and stay?

[305GUY]

how do people not get it.. he's a youth minister, he has pics of himself all over a steroid site(which is bad enough imo, whether all natty or not). throw in some porn and hes asking for some serious trouble in his profession if word gets out.. pretty simple..

[DSM4Life]

But there is no problem with you being on a forum that talks about the use of illegal drugs (regaurdless if you use or not) ! God the church is funny.

On top of that, doesn't god give you free will ? Don't you have enough self control to just not log in and post ?

[stocky121]

i understand what your saying mavs. It's not enough to make me leave i just ignore it and refuse to post in that section

[Titleist]

Sad to see you go Mavs, but I see where you're coming from.

I'll still see you at AF.

Hey man, you're gay and I accept and respect you regardless of that. I'll ask that you do the same for me.

I never thought it would be so difficult to do what's best for me and my family.

You also don't get it by the way. I'm not worried about what I'll do. I'm worried about jeopardizing my ministry career over something that does not even pertain to my interest anyways. It's just not worth it to me.

do what you have to mate

You said it best.

[SMAN12b]

Mavs, I respect your wishes and your conviction BUT isn't there another solution that woudn't mean leaving????

Sure take your pics off the site

But why not change your username so NO ONE at your church or anywhere else could know its YOU????

No one says you ever have to go in the adult section.

put a signature at the bottom of your posts stateing you do not use steroids or condone the use of illegal substances or pornographic material

Just doesn't make sense on an ANONYMOUS message board that you would have to leave

Sorry to see you go if you do!!!

[DSM4Life]

First off i more then respect you but i still don't understand your reasoning behind this thread. Why not just leave and never return again ? Or just email the admin and leave it at that.

[mavsluva]

do what you have to mate

Indeed I will.

If those who oppose my needs want to take over my mortgage and other bills, then please just understand my circumstance and respect it at the same time. Because that's all I would do for you should the circumstance be in someone elses possession.

[crazycrab]

I agree !!! You can get porn anywhere

[number twelve]

its gonna be sad to see you go mavs, i always valued your posts for their honesty and insight

[SMAN12b]

Well for one he has his pictures on here so leaving wouldnt change that unless he asked admin to delete them

if he is that worried, just leaving and not returning woudnt change that he has hundreds of posts on here
