Racism/Bigotry/Sectarianism etc in any form is not allowed on this board.

There are only 2 places that you can get away with any type of expression that can be construed as racist/bigotted/sectarian etc etc.

1/ The Funnies..............as humour is often ugly, and everything there is an attempt at humour, even if distasteful.

2/ World Events............IF you can back it up with some type of argument, to show that its a valid point to the debate in question.




Anyone that posts in World Events racist/bigotted/sectarian comments, just for the hell of it:

eg "Gays should just be shot"
"Muslims are evil"

Will have there warning level increased in the MOD Control panel.....I do not intend to PM everyone that does it, i'll just do it.

If the warning panel takes that member into Moderation due to other abuses.....Tough.

This is NOT meant to stop debate; views that are racist etc, but are being expressed as a point of view, with an argument in support...will be treated as such....part of the debate.

This Rule is meant to stop members posting a one off line of hate, with no contribution to any ongoing discussion.

So you noticed that something very undesirable got into the World Events forum last night. I think it was because I forgot to lock the back gate before retiring.

In short, the need for this thread is all my fault.

Yes you can be somewhat h4r5h at times. But most of us take it in good spirit, as it is normally intended..

I wonder how one goes about seeing just how close to moderation one is. Is the mods member meter measuring mechanism private or can we be told.

I noticed that the cows had wandered off through that open gate, hobbes. Poor Daisy may never be the same.

Oh Hobbesy Hobbesy......tsk tsk....

Of course, you cannot resist playing..... B)

Some people just need to be told the rules. (Good post Ratfaced) Others generally deserve it :ph34r: :lol:

[j2k4]

Hobbes is meekness incarnate.

That has always caused him problems.

Rat Faced is moderation incarnate, which should help Hobbes.

It all speaks well for our communal concern for each other&#39;s continued good grace in this forum. :)

What he said.

[j2k4]

We are (some of us, apparently), overtly assuming or revealing "incarnate" identities.

I am bereft; I don&#39;t know that I possess one. :(

I believe, as Popeye, that, I yam what I yam".

I could be wrong. :huh:

[ilw]

Are all the good ones taken :unsure: I think with some practice i could make a good Vengeance or Evil Incarnate :devil:

Practice away-

Clocker may offer his tutelage in matters "evil".

I could ask for you, if you&#39;re afraid-he is, after all, pretty evil. ;)

Who do you think I learnt from? :D

If we need god knows how many incarnate, I&#39;d be a Bastard or Scouse Incarnate (Hell, what&#39;s the difference? :D ;)).

I already got some training from JPaul on "using intelligence as a weapon of debate" (or "smart-arse comments" ;) )

[j2k4]

I would hereafter like to be referred to as "Pecksniffian Crassitude Incarnate", or "PCI" for short. :)

I would have thought that the "rules" in question go without saying - but, never surprised and yet allways amazed as i am, they allways are, or at least most times broken. Can someone enlighten this oldfart as to what makes people think they can get away with it on these boards - or am i just out of touch with street life?

Even joking has gotten mighty tougher these days. Is it "cool" or what?

On the other hand - i remember way back when i used to...............yawn...

Peace

I just wanted the last word. I doubt if anyone will even read this it is so old. I&#39;m going to run around naked, leave the toilet seat up and be a general shit, in here.

Busyman has a good point, why bump the only pinned thread. That makes no sense.
