Also, lets not forget the predecessor to HPR, TWATech radio :-). I think the explicit tag is nice as it lets folks who might run part15 radio stations a way to automatically keep their feeds sort of clear of harder content than they want to air, but this is of course a marginal use-case. Howeve

I want to be clear that I don't actually enjoy vulgarity for the sake of vulgarity. It definitely dilutes the content. On Dec 13, 2016, Mike Ray wrote: >On 13/12/2016 18:58, Dave Lee wrote: >> I have to disagree with this to a point. >> >> I think that having an explicit tag for the odd context

Couple thoughts from my comfy chair: I think that anyone that cares about sorting out the kinds of offensive material should, like VidAngel, create their own derivative stream with all the things that might offend called out. That way, people that are offended by various words, topics, or atti

The question is, how to do we provide information to you (and others) that this might contain “aggressive” language, while not restricting what folks say? Do we add a “very explicit” tag? An Explicit-o-meter™? I can’t help but feel that if the answer we come up with is “censorship” then we need

I have to disagree with this to a point. I think that having an explicit tag for the odd contextual swear word is fine, and I may want to listen to those episodes, so I'm not going to filter out episodes on the basis of the explicit tag. However, having just listened to the episode in question, I

I concur, HPR is a network for people to express themselves, and while I strongly believe in a censorship-free HPR, that doesn’t mean that we have the right to force someone to listen to explicit material if they do not wish to. This ‘explicit’ tag gives people a piece of information to make tha

I do not like the "explicit tag" at all... I understand the use for certain distribution systems, but certainly do not like to even think about "clean" or "explicit" unless I wish to... we have been over this before... what is "explicit" in your environment? how many tags do we need? In the prev

I appreciate that HPR does not censor submissions. HPR is for adults who have the ability to decide what they will listen to. I dont mind occasional foul language, and I think it is OK for spaceman to submit episodes that many consider offensive. Because of his language and tone, I have decided
