While I was checking the weather map enroute to MSP the other day, I came across this:

The new year brings newly redone rooms at top Vegas resorts - USATODAY.com

It talks about some $89 dollar rooms at the newly renovated MGM Grand and $200 renovated rooms at Bellagio.

And no, I didn't buy the paper!

Additional information you should consider when posting here:

Site Administrators and Moderators have the final say in editing or removing posts from this forum.

Abiding by the following guidelines will make everyone's experience of the forums more enjoyable. We're all here primarily to discuss the piloting profession; we all share in the good and the bad that this industry has to offer. Please use the "good neighbor" policy when posting to this site. If you wouldn't say it to your neighbor face to face, than don't say it here (and we are talking about a hypothetical neighbor that you like and respect, not necessarily your current neighbor).

Topics Not for Discussion

There are currently NO forums that provide a venue for discussing politics or religion. While DreamLaunch Media Ltd. and Airline Pilot Central embrace the diversity the world has to offer, these subjects often are very emotional and there are many different views. In our experience the wide range of views and emotions rarely contribute to a harmonious online community or beneficial contributions to the piloting profession.

Content

NO nudity or links to nudity is allowed, male or female. If you’re looking for porn, this is NOT the place. Any topic that is considered greater than PG-13, with or without images, will be closed and removed without question. User avatars or usernames with image content or suggestive phrases may be removed at the sole discretion of the site administrators.

Security

Any post that in the opinion of the site Administrators and Moderators poses a risk to security at ANY level will be removed without question. Loose lips sink ships.

Commercial Offers - For Sale Threads - Crash Pads - Site Promotion

The APC Forums are not for classified ads or a venue for webmasters to promote their web sites. Any solicitation, link, or promotion may be removed at the sole discretion of the administrators. If you wish to advertise on our forum please contact us to discuss affordable advertising rates.

User Accounts

Forum users are allowed one user account. Users posting under multiple accounts will be removed at the sole discretion of Airline Pilot Central. De-activating and/or canceling an account is as easy as walking away. User accounts without activity within the preceding year (365 days) will be deleted from the database.

Profanity

Airline Pilot Central Forums are presented as a professional resource which many users access from within a work environment. Posts that contain profanity or any language deemed Not Safe For Work (NSFW) will be removed at the moderators discretion. Airline Pilot Forums use an automated profanity filter to obfuscate common off color language. Intentional or creative misspelling does not relieve forum users from this section.

Discretion

What is objectionable to one person may not to be another; the Moderators will use their discretion in this respect. The site Administrators and Moderators carry sole discretion, and their decision will be final. Please respect their decisions. If you have issues with any Moderator decision, contact a Site Mod or Admin through the private message (PM) tool.

My "disrespect" was making the following point:

• This is a forum. People come here for the content. The web site does not create content. Posters add the content. Posters are not only the "customers" they add the value this site uses to sell advertising.
• The debate on whether over boob, under boob, side boob, or oblique boob really emphasizes just how subjective "offensive" truly is.
• Posters put work into their posts, even silly posts. Deleting someone else's work is offensive, and
• Generally, I am against censorship.
• No one is compelled to come to APC. Obviously, if it ceases to be fun, no one will come here. Randomly deleting posts isn't "fun" in my book.

SOPA could be the end of this place anyway. Posting of copyright material could result in liability against the web site owner & Admin. If current verbiage becomes law, then every post will have to be moderated before it is posted. Even much larger forum sites in the 100 million in revenue range (large, but not huge) have stated the law would force them to turn off their boards.

At a min, and that is what ER A's are saying.

Buzz,

I got a super great deal at the Tropicana last year via Hotwire. Recommend you give you Hotwire a try. Especially if you are going mid-week.

Have fun.

It's not like the hooters girls are in your actual hotel room...... (not that there's anything wrong with that!)

Bar,

Thanks for posting, and I read every word of it.

That said, I still like underboob.

Oblique boob sounds fun too, unless oblique means some kind of artsy French boob, or those nasty back boobs from Peopleofwalmart.

Bar, did you PM them? I posted something similar to what you did and never heard a word from these guys. I guess we should be happy we weren't banned for asking. For the record, I posted no pictures

Bucking Bar

I never posted any "offensive" pictures either. I got a rude PM out of the blue by CleeIB, who claims to be the Admin, for something that was not a violation of the TOS. He cited TOS that did not and do not exist to the best of my knowledge.

After a fueled debate back and forth in the Mod world, the rule is PG-13 as the TOS says. Some are irked and our juvenile behavior others are silent. At the end of the day, the leaders of this board like what this thread has become, but want it to remain within the TOS. Part of the TOS is any MOD or Admin can modify or delete posts period. They can also had our infractions as they see fit.

In the end the three DAL mods will continue to do what we do on the predominately DAL threads. I suspect that we will all see a little more discretion among all parties.

The Super Admin picked a fight.

His customers are angry and want an apology.
