Is the Lounge Witty or Insulting? YOU DECIDE!

Is the Lounge Witty or Insulting? YOU DECIDE!

Sometimes, cultural differences mean that humour can be misinterpreted. If you are a noob here, and are not 'in' on the jokes, does it put you off or do you think that it’s not a problem?

There have been a few times where some members have been upset by comments made by other members that some may interpret as funny and others interpret as insulting

The question is, is it a problem? Is it ok? Is it hilarious? YOU DECIDE

We don’t want a big brother state to tell us what is funny, here or irl. However, we are a Global community and we should respect the opinions of the board members as to how far we all go.

It is surely good manners to stop when asked to, but people should not be over sensitive to the odd piss-take.

We really want to know what people think here, so off topic posts will be deleted. (Some could be used as examples….. ;)


Cheers,

geptards rod yeah!

I never get offended by a joke.Most of the time i dont get it or think its funny,or maybe just dont care.
I can see why a noob would get scared or offended because of the leetsness here.
-Cunt

yes

I think the Lounge should be more insulting.

does this have anything to do with that thread spider dude made about your box being full??

Since the day I joined, I've felt really insulted a total amount of three times.

Two of these three times were because of a mod's post. Feckin' mods :dry:

Shut your face, j00.

/ban

i only get offended by junnos posts or posts when baz brings a man home from the pub, or when busyman posts about his massive e-cock, or when tesco tries to cyber me in pms, or when canadians post a reply of simply :lol smiley: or when... well thats about it really.

Hey, great idea to single out those who can't handle a bit of piss-taking.

I am so going to target anyone who posts in this thread that they get offended and/or insulted by posts made in the lounge.

Whether this post is deleted or not :happy:

stop tryn to piss on me manker i cant take it.

I feel like this thread is directed at me and my mates.

I feel insulted.

Fuck you all, I'm chucking a Yogi.

I was the man in the pub, dumb fuck :lol:

you must be strong

Off the top of my head I can think of a few dozen forums that have "no-holds barred" sub-forums like The Lounge that are just terrible dens of racism/sexism/homophobia or full of cunts like Linkin Park. Whilst this place ain't going to win any polictical correctness awards I think things are kept reasonable and fun around here (mostly by the members themselves).

Strong like Cheese!

can cheese lift a fat tax dodging dutch bastard?

canadians

I was well pissed off the other night by a thread, I was well blown

well bad!

It blew out of hand big time & should have been stoped, but no it was for all to see, two members should have been banned full stop! :(

sorry to post this, but it got me!

who should have been banned baz?

No one mate, Sorry for my post.

All in all I have a great time on FST,
Now UKF has gone & I resigned from The Club my last home is FST
I'm like a brick wall at times & yes I do get post shy
If my threads & some posts offend then i'm sorry, sometimes i just don't think

I love this place because I can have a laugh & chill

Has it got that bad in here? Maybe its time for the yearly cull!

I think it's a mixture.

I think many folk's attitude on here is "I'm going to fuck with you. Conform and like it...'cause I'm still going to fuck with you. Why? 'Cause I can."

If the person conforms, then it's witty.

If he/she doesn't, it's insulting.

Either way, the board has changed to this and I say it's the way the mods wanted it. If a person doesn't like it, they are probably in the minority and I'd say a forum like genmay.com be more to their liking.

There was a fella named imasoldier or something that said he didn't like what the Lounge has become so he left. He asked a question and simply didn't get any serious answers. No biggie.

I really don't understand what the purpose of the poll is. Mods can look in the threads a judge for themselves. The Lounge is not the place to take anything seriously. Maybe that should be put on the front as a disclaimer if you've been getting complaints. :idunno:

I think if someone feels insulted, tell the other person to go fuck themselves and move on. No need for a poll. Everyone on here is not a trolling git.

FUCK YOU!!!

Oh I'm just kidding.:P

Its like anything in life if you come on to be a butt head you get treated like one, if looking for a bit of fun its great . I'v been guilty of both .:whistling

My favorite part about the lounge is its not as moderated as the others .

Insulting:dabs:


The fact that you geptards think you can talk to me:snooty:

>at the poll.

2 people will need to be killed. Bo get your guns out. Sara tell us the 2 people who voted for option 1. ziggy get ready!! :angry:

You're a glebe:dabs:

I really think we should all practice to be more insalting...added with a little extra inpepering. That's what gives the necessary seasoning...

I think that as long as someone hasn't intended to insult smb with his/her says there is no issue on our hand ... else the one who does such things should be punished as the moderators think its best

If you want serious then fuck orf to the drawing room,everything else is just babycham for the brain.

Everybody has their buttons. There are a couple of things I find hard to laugh at because they hit too close to home but if that's the case I just steer clear of threads that would touch a nerve. Having said that I can't think of anything that has made me feel that way here.

This place feels like somewhere I don't have to worry so much about what makes me laugh; and ok so there are threads that will offend some but you have to take things in the spirit they were meant. I kind of hope I'm right in thinking that what's posted doesn't really reflect what someone would do irl - just the fact that they like a larf.

Who's SMB, don't you mean SMG, but what's Buffy got to do with it.

Blade > Buffy :dry:

edit: there should be some question curlys in there somewhere.

Back from my strop, or going to bed ... whatever.

It seems to me that it's mods/forum stars that get the brunt of any piss taking. Frequently it's established members but hardly ever new members - the lounge dynamic seems fine to me, there are enough regulars to keep it busy and new blood comes along fairly frequently and is very welcome (staleness is a bitch). This section is probably busier than the rest of the forum sections put together.

I think there's been a bitch session in Team Chat (if it was in here, they'd get ripped to shreds for being gay) and it's been decided that something needs to be done about the nasty chaps who simply don't respect authoritah!

Tough.

Every forum has it's in-jokes and members who sometimes take things too far - and participants who have particularly cutting humour. It's just that with this forum, while all the mods are sterling members, none of them seem to be able to stand up to a handful of members (yeah, myself included) who think it's fun to take the piss out of them.

Obviously, no-one is going to get banned or moderated for this, so whatcha gonna do. I suspect nothing.

The lounge has moderated itself for almost two years. A handful of people have cried and left because of cutting remarks. Many more have laughed and stayed.

:glag:

The lounge hasn't changed in all the time i've been here. I see your nearly winning in the poll manker :smilie4:
