Anyone can join in too so wadda ya thin'

What does it take to get a thread locked or chopped?  Would it be worthwhile to get some standard responses and put together a poll?

Do you think admin is being nasty only cuz there are problems in the Philippines right now?

inquiring minds, etc

The threat of legal action.

 

[ips]

yes anything else such as personal attack via written word seems generally acceptable. ?

If you post anything that could be or is libellous, or unnecessarily "mean", the post or thread could get pulled.

 

[ips]

ha, I have had "mean" posts and they didn't get deleted

 

[Sian]

You're not the litigious type Ips.  

I asked for the other one to be closed and Matt saw fit to do so.

 

[ips]

true.

I only know its true cos I just googled "litigious" ?

 

[Wonko the Sane]

ha, I have had "mean" posts and they didn't get deleted

That is nothing but a simple fact!  I personally have found some, it not most, of your posts to be mean spirited, abusive, demeaning, lacking in any semblance of a common reality, and poorly spelled and punctuated.  If I were litigious I'd have you up on slander, elder abuse, and promoting facts from an alternate universe.  

I'll think about it for a while and get back to you with how I really feel about it.

hew:

think this'll get deleted?

No you've not!!! You are just a very sensitive little buttercup...

 

[ips]

No you've not!!! You are just a very sensitive little buttercup...

this is true I cannot deny it ?

 

[Wonko the Sane]

I think that if we had some confirmation from your dog it would be more believable.

Just back after a week without any internet access. It just has to be something that sensitive toes don't like Charlie  

I think that if people are being abused online then yes lets us stop that happening... in all the time I have been on this site I have never seen anybody being treated in such a way... yes there have been heated debates and some slanging matches but I don't think that I have ever seen one where anybody had the right to say I want that chopped out of the site. Oh wait there was the "what ever happened to" thread about Mr Coley... he took a total roasting.. I don't know if half of what was said was true but his standing in the community took a hammering on here.

The only ones that I've noted in the past had some content relative to She Who Cannot Be Named.  I cannot guess at whose bhest that action may have been taken.  But if you just don't write that name then you're prolly safe.

Forums by their very nature whether Greek, Roman or internet are places to discuss ideas, views and opinions.  Ideas, views and opinions do not mean fact, so how any court can uphold any litigation bought forward from something said on a forum is madness.

If I find something offensive on the internet I just click the little X in the top right hand corner of the window and it goes away. its pretty simple.

I don't like liver...so I don't eat liver.

I know we don't have the freedom of speech laws that the US does but we do or at least should live in a free country....freedom is the right to offend and be offended.

 

[Wonko the Sane]

from something said on a forum is madness.

ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT I'M INSANE???

 

[Xaphan]

Mind you i think the powers that be are pushing him close to the edge!!
