TechnicolorGreenEyes Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I am offended by some of the opinions of people on this site. I'd like to propose that all posts are screened by a mod/admin before they are approved. This will avoid people getting offended, seeing as that is now the main goal of the forum, to avoid offense.

Coldplay Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 We will also have to wait 3 days for each post to appear, which will make everyone leave. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_squared Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 It's actually what Admin find offensive that is relevant, nothing else. They've made the correct decision IMO.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechnicolorGreenEyes Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 I could say **** till the cows came home until you complained. So is it really what the admin find offensive? Or is it just until someone complains about it? One word is not more offensive than an entire post. Mark's posts are more offensive than the word ****. If **** has been banned on the grounds of offense then the same logic should be applied to opinions, you'd hate to be hypocrites now wouldn't you?

I don't know if anyone actually complained about those words this time, but it wasn't me. However, I totally applaud anyone that did, and totally support Ian's decision. 2. Opinions don't matter, only Admin's views. If they deem something offensive, they will do something about it, as they have in this case.:smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicolorGreenEyes Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Alright then, but someone complained and that's why they dealt with it, if the Admin actually had a problem with swearing, why was it allowed in the first place? Admin's views are opinions you absolute cretin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 nathan, your freedom and rights ends when those enters other person "home" and vice versa. having freedom of speech here, shouldn't give the right to use bad words constantly for whatever the cause is, or start endless fights. admins and mod decitions are their decitions, why do we have to give our views about them? do you like we tell you how to wear your clothes just for you are on this board? NO. freedom abuse here has lead us to that point, just if some people would had know how to behave it won't have had happened. and i had not complained about that bad usage, there was no need to, as it was obvious and everyone has sentenced themselves along those last months so... anyways if you don't like it, do leave and move on.

coldplayisawesome Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 why don't we just ban banning? oh wait... :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnicolorGreenEyes Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Yeah you're right, lets give ourselves LESS rights, it's for our own good OPPRESSION FOR THE WIN. They are entitled to change things and I am entitled to suggest/challenge things, it's how public forums work, if Ian would gladly justify why **** is banned but I am still allowed to attack people and cause offense as long as I don't use a "bad" word then I would be happy, it's not going to happen though because he is a spineless ****.

TechnicolorGreenEyes Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Hahahahahahaha. (@Mark) I've made my point, I don't really give a fuck what else is said in here by Mark.

colduser Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I hate the c-word. However, I believe in the freedom of people to use it and for the freedom of people to ignore it. Unfortunately though, Ian trumps us all. When we sign up to use this forum, there is a warning about inappropriate language or something like that. It is what it is. Not worth getting banned over Nathan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
