The last few days I've seen flaming, foul language, discriminatory behaviour, porn, and a lot of new spam topics in the Lounge.
Now I know that the Lounge is pretty much a "free" section of the forum, but it's getting out of hand I think.
I think that we Mods need to be a bit more strict from now on, so don't be surprised if there are topics closed or deleted. :)
Please post what you think about this; your reply will be deleted if you are against it. :D
Agree!
definatly been too much spam and flaming going on - seems to be a few trolls here now....
Yes, its about time something like this is done. Lets try & get the board back to what it used to be like :)
All Mods are now equiped with flame-proof vests and whips! :lol:
Man, what an image!
I've taught them well :lol: :PQuote:

Seems like you're gonna have a lot of work on your hands... And some angry PMs too!
Anyway, go on, do your best!
Agree ;)
Then you should be made a Mod! ;)
You'd ban everyonewho opposed bookworld! :lol:
If that was the case, we'd only have about 100 members left by the end of the week :lol:Quote:

is that a bad thing?... :-" :shifty:
No not really!! (Or should I say, of course it is. Each & every single member is respectable ;)
Only joking kids :P
I'm just new, but I have to agree with the consensus here, there is way too much gratuitous swearing here. No-one has a problem with cursing every so often, but it's not a punctuation mark. The mods shouldn't have to deal with that, they have enough to do.
I agree w/ the swearing issue,but some of the other issues need to have a grey area that everyone can stand in.
You cant censor everything ,the has to be some amount of freedom of speech.Something that can be comprimised between everyone.
good idea bende. thank you :)
:( vb closed my topic it had very good exploites and definitions on stuff like
Ddos and stuff :(
Except Bender of course, who is more comfortable in this...Quote:

no offence!
Why do people assume that because someone isnīt constantly swearing or being abusive they are not relaxed.
Interesting observation, mofo. :DQuote:

I bunged some posts on which were obvious nonsense. They are called jokes - you laugh - you don't - that's called being individual - but all the ones I posted were read by decent numbers of folks.
The lounge is about talking about anything you like as I understand it - If your not interested in the subject - dont click it. But don't start deciding what others should and should not read, based on your own personal values, unless of course it's obviously vindictive or offensive.
If you do you have become a politically correct Hitler. What ever you think of the posts I put on, for instance - they may not have been politically correct but there was certainly no malicious intent.
One persons spam is another persons roast beef - and tough shit to the vegetarians! If there is no freedom of speech possible here in the lounge - forget it - this part of the forum is a failure!
Spam to me means offering one thing and actually giving something else - usually negative in style. If you get me?
Full Respect to all.
:D
Quick point on swearing. When used for every other word I agree it sucks!
When used selectively for humourous or emotional effect no problem.
:blink:

Thank you SF&LA
That's interesting, you are supporting people's freedom expression, whilst telling them what they shouldn't do.Quote:

Closing a topic in an early stage can prevent a lot of problems ,
bad stuff can seemingly provide a freecard for(other) bad elements.
If need be the topic can imo always be restarted :in another tone. ;)

That's deep word play! Though superficial at best! I would never wish to have the power thanks. You want action I want words. The words you speek are fine - the possible actions are the dangerous bit.
But have to say this is one of the best strings around.

It's neither deep nor superficial, though I do appreciate the effort you make in being oxymoronic.
".... don't start deciding what others should and should not read ...." is an instruction. (As opposed to I would prefer it if you did not ... etc)
So you are giving an an instructiuon to the reader and then go on to invite him to do just the thing you have instructed him not to. You are just attempting to confuse with your fancy-dan word play, the very thing you accuse me of.
I'm suspect most got the point I made - even if they disagree.
Stop chewing so hard on that English language text book, and chill...............
Unless it's givin you a jumbo boner of course! In which case please continue with my blessing.
A victory in this conversation will mean more to you than me - so please accept it with my blessing! You are clearly a superior and righteous being and I kneel before you most humbly.
Your obedient servant!
Victory ?
:)
there always must be a victor !!
just look at Linekar for fuck's sake.
Where would the Remington Shaver Corp be with Victor (Victor Kiam)
