I don't tend to swear much, but I don't particularly mind if others want to, as long as it isn't a personal attack aimed at me (or another member of the forum)

yes, it got so bad they actually re edited your posts..trying to change what you have said! lol.... freedom!!

Just to clarify, it's been stated by Sean that swearing is completely allowed. Insulting people isn't.

daman · 11-02-2007, 09:31 PM

f.... off is considered an offense and is awarded with 1 point !!!!

is it ok to swear? ... well if it means so much its not a problem, you can use swear words.... but as long as they are not insults to other members, this is just the way this forum works... we don't want bullies here... simple as that. its for everyone and we don't want anyone moving in and making it there own... we are here to keep it everyones forum

I have been PM'd numerous links to your work over at the www.davidickeforum.com, and you have been involved in a ridiculous degree of "trolling" and "bullying" yourself, over the last twelve months.

I simply cannot let what you have written here go without comment. The hypocrisy is stupefying.

jimijams · 11-02-2007, 11:24 PM

The moderators seemed to have deleted another thread so I'll pose my question again here..

Moderators why is acceptable to call somebody with an unpopular opinion a cock and a troll? Cosmonaut raises valid points although in a less than tactful way doesn't mean he deserved to be attacked for it..
If you set rules you have to apply them across the board with impartiality, whats good for the goose is good for the gander..
What say..?

Yes and some people get their efforts at "trolling" (not MY choice of words btw) rewarded by being promoted to Moderator.

Let's change cultures - some French wish good luck to someone else before an event by saying "shit," ooops, I mean "merde." but I wonder if they would feel lucky if we called them a "piece of merde."

I made this thread before I was "promoted" to Moderator. I don't think what I posted was bad, evil, or mean-spirited. However, the host of this website has made clear what is and isn't appropiate and I have abided by that in interest of harmony. Asking me not to make dark humor threads in the general chat section is not the end of the world, and I'd expect the same mature understanding from yourself. There are for more important battles to fight.

When someone uses intentionally incendiary language, with the purpose of ruffling feathers, not only it offensive, it creates its own world of drama. Instead of fighting the conduct rules in this house (please put your clothes on, for example), it'd be better if members could fight the common enemy (you know the ones that are programming us, poisoning our air, plan to microchip us) with information.

That is a comment on a particular posting style but dosen't go anywhere near answering my original question..

Why is it acceptable to be insulting to some posters and not others..?

king · 12-02-2007, 12:07 AM

it sure looks like that we have more chiefs than Indians here.

i propose that we elevate 2/3 of users to moderator level, just to be safe.

with 666 moderators and 333 forum users we should be in lot better shape.

you know, we cannot have this place overrun with trolls posting uncensored shite.

and, to be even more safe -- we should do a mental screening
of all potential offenders.
this would entail a rigorous mental test that each forum member would have to undertake when he or she submit an application for forum membership.

afterall, we do not want this place to be like that other David Icke forum.
That place is a complete nut house where people can get away with anything, even expressing their own and often wrong opinion and not obeying any rules.

you can never be too sure. we need not have that kind of thing on this forum.

who is with me?

Okay, sorry, didn't mean to skirt. I haven't noticed this yet but will be sure to keep a keener out for it now. Thanks for the criticism.

The thread in question has now been placed in the memory hole so maybe one of the mods who contributed to said thread could comment..
