urghh. thanks for that swimming pool metaphor. Think I'm gonna be sick.
at the idea of being in a swimming pool with you lot (not the turd) 😉
🙂
I've really never felt the need to report anyone's post on here, to me it seems like the policy of a schoolyard - Sir, sir! somebody said something horrid and may of made Jimmy cry
I simply ignore anything I don't like and move on. It's not like anyone is forced to read any particular post.
I don't take offence very easily and I certainly don't take offence by proxy either, there seems to be one or two posters who go around looking for something to be offended by and then making a big noise about it.
Get on with your own life would be my advice, if you were asking 🙂
As for this being real life? do me a favour.............
But this is real life for a lot of people on here. I've reported you for being offensive.
Point(s) being laboured? Conclusion - everyone relax.

Probably the most depressing post I've ever read.
Are there [i]really[/i] people who actually take this tiny little forum in one tiny corner of the interwebs seriously? 😯

Would you expected anything less on here?

Well Mark claims that "this is real life" so I guess yes. Do you not agree then ?
For me it's nothing like real life, for a start, I don't dislike anyone at all on here. And yet I can't help feeling that if I met some of the punters on here in real life, I'd probably think that we were right ****ers. After all the real world's full of people that I don't like.
been banned twice, once because smurfmatthew commented on the size of my friends breasts and the second time was for posting a picture of a woman breastfeeding a cat.
the pole dancing video annoyed me as she was wearing more than most people would wear to the beach, it was a video for an arts competition (no sexual moves at all, just technical skill as she won miss pole dance UK and now teaches all over the world) and up until SM's post everyone was playing well and commenting on ability not looks.
the breastfeeding cat was an image from one of those 30p wimmins mags like 'look!' 'now!' or 'shock!', no nipple showing (it was well and truly in the cats mouth)... fair enough i suppose, somebody was obviously upset by it!
not sure why i'm typing this other than its fun to mention breasts on a friday 🙂

I will report this post while secretly thanking you for it... 😉

I guess that's the problem with having the users "mod" the content. Some folk have the ability to be outraged at trivia.

Oh how I miss the Friday A&A - wonder who reported that ?? 8)
If only you lot knew....

Reckon you can break post reporting down in to 3 camps
1. Guardians - those who see it as a responsibility to report gender sterotyping, bad language, racial abuse etc. Fair enough I suppose as long as the 'report post' button gets hit after a little bit of thought as to the context of the comment.
2. Delicates - those 'gentle' souls who are quite willing to start fights but back out of open confrontation and would rather revert to moderation to get their way. I suspect that these people have an internet persona that is quite different to how they behave in real life.
3. Axe grinders - people without a pair of fully developed testicles who decide they don't like someone and make a point of causing trouble for them.
NB. And before anyone specific gets upset, calm down - this is a general observation. You know who you are.
I don't want to get into a fight about it Yossarian but I feel that your post is stereotyping too much so I've reported it.
you guardian, you 😉
He's just called all the female members Axe Grinders. Definitely reporting that.
Nah... I didn't think about it so your stereotype is incorrect. Sorry.
LOL at Darcy... at least he didn't say battle axe grinders.
I reported a post 2 days ago and it didn't fall into any of your handy little pigeon holes.
I just read 8 highly interesting pages and I'm still no wiser is it a case of you can have an opinion only don't even consider having it on this forum
or you just not allowed to have an opinion and if you don't like it f... Off

how exactly am I meant to know the content before reading it? A bit like me screaming f off at you and arguing you dont need to listen
As for this being real life? do me a favour...
well you are at odds with the owners and the people who run this ...does the forum just self generate without someone having to do something in their real life ? when it was hacked was it not real for STW? Users seemed a tad annoyed as well. People have been sued for what they have written on the Internet. In what sense is it not real? You may be confusing taking it seriously and real here.

Edit: Threeundred!!!

bizarrely 🙄 - I was talking about my life not theirs so I'm quite comfortable being at odds with them - if it's OK with you that is?

You can have an opinion so long as it does not fall foul of the rules in the way you express it. You need to remember its not a private conversation.

do me a favour...
Go on then, I'm in a good mood - what do you need?
I've never reported anyone (bar spammers), I'm confident there will always be folk more upset about stuff than me.
reporting folk for being offensive I get, what I struggle with is getting reported when I am clearly having a laugh.
I mean FFS who reported my "big hitters" thread? You really need to get out more and get a life.
Who wants a favour? Have I killfiled them? Will you do me a favour DD?

A simple complaint form would suffice maybe points for insults rather than an immediate ban
Why picture no work.?.?
not sure why the eye roll there tbh ...could we not at least work up to being dismissive of each other ?

I am pretty sure you just won over your doubters with that.
JY you miss my point - of course a lot of my output here is a complete waste of time aimed at amusing myself and others...but if it's not really offensive to a proper grown up then why report it?
There's more value in it to me than "pics of red frame with green wheels please" threads.
cynic-alreporting folk for being offensive I get, what I struggle with is getting reported when I am clearly having a laugh.
This is the bit you seem to find hard to understand - what you consider having a laugh can be highly offensive to others. Its not your intent that counts - its the effect upon others,
The joke I told that I got banned for is funny -and I was clearly having a laugh. However the ban was appropriate 'cos it was offensive
It was me Al. I just report all your posts. I do it on Mleh as well.
Really though the mods probably just shut it down to stop everyone arguing.
Red frame, green wheels?
YUK
Fair point TJ but I still don't see what was offensive about my big hitters threads or humerous pokes at Fred (and you) for instance...I trust Fred to be big enough (and you) not to be reporting them
