New forum rules...

[Guest]

Hi folks, I want to introduce a new forum policy..I don't want to sound too quick off the mark as I'm just in the admin door, but the new policy will be a 3 strikes policy.

It's something myself and other staff and members feel strongly about , that would be racism and picking on the unemployed, some of the stuff I see is a nonsense ...and when these issues are discussed, some paint all others on benefits as being scrounges.

This along with blaming coloured folk and immigrants for all our country's troubles really annoys me,i don't want such hatred on theses boards.

From tomorrow anyone making any more ridicules claims will be give a strike for every one post made slandering , insulting and making libel against other people who may be coloured , an immigrant or folk on benefits will receive a maximum of 3 strikes and they are out.

Once they get to 3 strikes they shall be subject to sanctions..that being a 24 hour ban.

I know it's a bit early to dish out forum rules, but they are there for a reason,

FFS!.....Not even i'm,as bad as to advocate something like that!  

[scrat]

I can't see why we cannot just take them to the stocks and subject them to a damn fine pelting, all this mambe pandering around is most upsetting!

[Guest]

.....Personal abuse sanctions!      

Way To Go! ::ftlcheer:: ::ftlcheer:: ::ftlcheer:: 

[Guest]

Congratulations and welcome on you're promotion to the team. I'm sure you will be a worthy addition - well done.

Thanks Irn, delighted to be on the team

Sorry for putting up that set of forum rules quick, but we did speak about the problem and how out of hand it's becoming..we don't want colored or unemployed would be posters being scared of by some.

It's the only rule I would like to apply
Hope nobody thinks I'm being too bossy!

Quite right Scrat...and if we could, we would!  

[Guest]

Ha! Ha!

[Guest]

Well, start as you mean to go on JD lol

I'm sure some won't see it that way lol

Would you like to introduce yourself. So, is that what you want it to be. If you note, JD's status has been reset to Admin.

Yeah, I'd just like to point out that here in Texas it's still March 31 for five and a half hours -- but yeah, bad timing on my part.

[Eilzel]

Seriously?

I'd be careful with that rule because it seems awfully open to the personal interpretation of individuals and we could find many RW posters thrown out very fast if not careful.

I don't support many RW ideas either but I prefer debate to shutting it down.

For instance, smelly's recent racist question and Andy's regular threads on immigrants- would these warrant strikes? Because they shouldn't, they create debate even the views of some are repulsive.

I hope this isn't the start of some destructive cull that wastes the traffic here, cause that would be real shame after many successful months of debate

[Guest]

Im in total agreement with what Les says.
Can someone either Ben or JD explain the change in policy please? Ben has previously said he only bans in extreme circumstances and its permanent.

Can you explain your change of thinking on this Ben?

[Raggamuffin]

I assume the new rules will also apply to hatred against Christians, like posts accusing them of being murderers.

Yeah, before you know it you'll be murdering gay people with impunity again, like you did for most of written history!

[Guest]

great news this , its raining here but now the sun has just come out .

come on everyone lets debate the weather today what's it like there

No   the truth stands        

Anyway in my capacity as moderator I will oppose any bans  :-:bravo:-: :-:bravo:-: :-:bravo:-: :-:bravo:-: :-:bravo:-:

You're accusing members of this forum of being murderers?

[Guest]

it shows what a joke it is , still it is nice for people looking for a new forum to join i can imagine comments like ([size=12.571428298950195]Yeah, before you know it you'll be murdering gay people with impunity again, like you did for most of written history!)[/size]
[size=12.571428298950195]and ( well i hope you get cancer and die a slow and painful death )[/size]


[size=12.571428298950195]this will give them all the reason to join , who wouldn't want to be accused of being a murderer and having death wished on them ?[/size]


[size=12.571428298950195]this is the niceboard [/size]

[veya_victaous]

@VOD
U might not hurt a fly   but that husband of yours     

                         

@ragga
no but based on the historical evidence when Christians do have political power  A LOT of innocent people who happen to disagree with their imaginary friend get Burnt at the stake..

or brutally tortured ....



for some reason they seem to focus on the anus      

[groomsy]

so i cant lie about how good looking i am?

damn!

 you posted your picture lol

ya i know that makes it harder lol

[eddie]

You are going to have a very boring nodding dog forum with everyone agreeing.

You've just shot yourself in the foot.

[Raggamuffin]

I think you're missing the point veya. Hatred against some groups is not allowed here, but hatred against other groups is allowed. It basically depends on the opinion of the forum owner and the new admin.

So opinion isn't allowed then?

What do you think Eddie should i ban JD for 24hrs

[groomsy]

So opinion isn't allowed then?

opinions are, just i believe constant slandering isnt, bickering back and forth name calling gets annoying

[eddie]

opinions are, just i believe constant slandering isnt, bickering back and forth name calling gets annoying

But some people are of the opinion that blacks are thieves whites are paedos and green men are really yellow.

This isn't a forum for free speech it's "say it our way or be banned"

[Guest]

@veya , i wouldn't hurt an ant lol spiders die if they come anywhere near me i hate them , my hubby has strong opinions that is true but he wouldn't harm anyone .

You never........

So the Red under my bed cannot be discussed.  How stinkingly boring.

[eddie]

@veya , i wouldn't hurt an ant lol spiders die if they come anywhere near me i hate them , my hubby has strong opinions that is true but he wouldn't harm anyone .

Anyone with any sense of imagination and strong opinions will soon be out or have left of their own accord (or died of boredom)

This will become like a knitting circle soon.

Your time, HF's time, Andy's time, possibly mine, all numbered.

[Guest]

I am with eddie here - what is this need to sanction people because they have different opinions. So what if someone says they think blue an inferior colour? I disagree with them, I find the idea nasty and repellant - but that is their genuine opinion to which they are entitled.

Hmmm.  Michael Jackson was a freak who was probably also a paedo. Barack Obama's a complete tosser who couldn't organise a kids' birthday party at MacDonalds.

That's two strikes....   

[nicko]

it's april 1st.

[gerber]

White rabbits.

It's all going to depend what is said Eilzel...and I'll be honest here...moreover by whom...there will be some exceptions,with the like of our better RW posters like Herbs and Edmund.

But some really hateful stuff is out the window form now on

While your somewhat a back up singer for BA Tess...you don't quite sing his tune ...so you still have your three strikes

[Raggamuffin]

So posters who are perceived to be "left wing" can spout all the hatred they like against anyone they like?

[Raggamuffin]

Didn't Ben once say that white British men are paedos? That's OK because he's not talking about "coloured" people, yes?

[Guest]

I never said that, for heavens' sake , some are trying to turn this into something else, I'm just here to help out if need be, to nice of Ben to ask me.

I'll still be the lovely JD we all know!  

[eddie]

Black men often sing flat live. Watch X factor and shows like that.
With the exception of Jackson and Lionel Ritchie.

True fact.

You've singled out "RW" posters, and furthermore, you've said it depends on who's making any such posts.

...yes, the poster's who make ridiculous claims that things like ADHD , autism and Aspergers don't exist...claims made by one or two on the right.

So now you're adding posts about those things too. So that's any negative posts about "coloured" people, people on benefits, immigrants, and those who say they have ADHD, autism, and aspergers.

Anything else?

Oh, and those aren't "RW" subjects, they're just opinions of people who you perceive to be "RW".
