[Closed] What's the point in bannings?

Some of this thread is so vomit inducing that I'm seriously considering becoming a premier member just so I can leave offensive tags on the subject.

What would you like tagged sir?

Volvo For Sale?

[i]Am I the odd one out then, I've never been banned or even had a warning? Maybe it's cos I try to consider what I'm saying in the light of "real life" and how other people might interpret my words? I don't always get it right, to be fair, but I try...[/i]

You see, neither had my friend, and he's been posting on here since you and he had much longer usernames. He therefore thought he knew fairly well the tone of the forum, and the acceptable in-jokes. Turns out he didn't, or that what was once acceptable is not anymore. Everyday is a schoolday, and he'll return (tomorrow) a wiser poster.

So, you lack self awareness to such an extent that you don't think there's anything [i]sad[/i] about meta e-drama? You really want to waste time talking about a site you waste time on, on the site you waste time on?

I love this place, it's like a proto-internet.

volvo for sale is old and tired, trust me 😳

If you feel that you have to hold back, wouldn't it be fair to say that free speech is now being lost and you can't speak your mind for fear of upsetting someone? That can't be good. I'm all for free speech and the right to free speech, I am, however, against the personal insults. Calling someone an idiot becasue they are an idiot is factual rather than an insult, I did also apologise to some idiots I know for the slur on them.

Personally I struggle, I cope by method acting as Derek, it's the only way, I'd have been flung off and thermo nuked ten times over if I'd been myself. I use a dumbed down version of a yottie dinghy persona I had to create for that forum, it's part of the fun I find, being a total addict to these places, one ends up acting out various persona to suit the different fora.

Then I'm a piss taking bastard in real life, some might even say a total cock.. 😀

It would have been me that put the drawing pin on the Physics masters chair that got the whole class detention after they'd stopped weeping from the tear gas bomb that had gone off in my pocket.

Oh........OOOOHHHHHH 💡

Let's start with 'the circle-jerk', followed by 'it's running down your chin'. Ta

Am I the odd one out then, I've never been banned or even had a warning?

Nope, me neither

I'm trying, I'm deliberately courting controversy by pointing out that clotted cream is rubbish and that you're all moany moanfaces.

See you all in a while

Volvo for sale did make me laugh, what was it about?

Half a job, wrecker 🙂

That 1978 244DL you sold me has plenty of life left in it.

no idea on the volvo for sale, it was around for what felt like ages, then everyone started asking where it came from, i added it to about 4-5 threads when people were discussing tagging specifically and i gots me a warning.

HA! just remembered getting banned after posting a picture of a woman breastfeeding a cat.

*ahhh the good old days*

once recently for "obsessive arguing" after being warned off

That one I find hard to believe!

just remembered getting banned after posting a picture of a woman breastfeeding a cat.

Did you [i]really[/i] do that?
It is funny but exactly what would prompt you to that particular image?
I think your creativity should be encouraged and nurtured in order to satisfy my curiosity.

Sorry yossarian, I bottled the second one but I didn't want to tear the arse completely out of it. I have a feeling I'm on dodgy ground now.

just remembered getting banned after posting a picture of a woman breastfeeding a cat.

sure did, it was my profile picture on facebook for a long time, mighty disturbing as the woman in the photo looks like my sister and all my friends thought it was actually her (dodgy 30p style wimminz magazine - "i married my gran and now we're expecting conjoined triplets" type magazine).

I've never been banned. Never even had a warning.

God only knows how I've managed that over the years

too subtle Binners.

I've never been banned or warned either, maybe I should try harder lol

[i]once recently for "obsessive arguing" [/i]

I'd say you've got off lightly 😉

I had a warning recently - first on ein over 10 years on stw.

I posted a picture with a rude 😳 place name in it. It turned out it's not a real place. Who knew?

Like some others on here you've forgotten, 6 warnings is the answer.

Ooh - is there a league table????

warnings do end up in the spam folder - or at least mine two (???) did

Been to the black isle recently Druidh?

Ooh - is there a league table????

No.

Could be TJ spam folder TJ.

I think I've got a one warning to 3 ban ratio.

or 3 BPW.

I've had 6 warnings? Eek! Who knew?

Mind you, that might lend me some rufty tufty credibility and stop the big boys stealing my dinner money!

*swaggers around the forum, and gives yeti a wedgie *

The worse thing for me however was being told I'd caused someone to be banned, that really upset me

well.. that's what you get for reporting a piece of art..
I wasn't bothered by the ban but your attitude was all a bit Mary Whitehouse.. it was quite disturbing to be honest..

double post

binners you git you know I'm wearing a thong today!

I've had probably half a dozen warnings and two or three bans. Some were totally justified, some points I've questioned. What irks me slightly is that on any occassions I've emailed the mods back with a POV in the offence in question, they very rarely have the common courtesy to reply.

I was warned today for use of a word beginning with w and is slang for masturbating. It was stated as being in the STW swear filter. The filter must be broken then, as there was no attempt made by myself to get round it. I do accept however its not a word to be used on here in the future.

MUHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA! 😉

I feel like Gripper Stebson with my new found rufty tuftyness!

I once got a warning for posting something, which I hadn't

after checking out the offending thread it was the previous poster to me that had posted it
So l emailed back explaining their error

'spect l'll get the "doh, sorry" any day now - it'll be 3 or 4 years late but welcome all the same 🙂

Is this where the 'bighitters' hang out??? Or wrong thread??

STW Forum tagline should be
Never in one place ,have so many believed that, they are so right, about so many things.
The mods should ban intellectual narcissism,they'd be very busy.

intellectual narcissism

lol

...

I think I've been banned 3 times.

I haven't been banned yet from this place yet which surprises me, as I'm either a thread terminator, or my posts are removed swiftly before they cause too much unrest.
I've been in this country 18 months and I've noticed the rude and shock humour which goes down so well in Australia isn't taken too well around here.
I think there should be a subforum for banned people though to spend their time whilst are removed from the main forum.
I think I'd voluntarily spend more time in there anyway.
