I bet the opposite because the cheztapo's favoured son, willy-i-am, is looking at a 2 week or longer ban next time he can't control his inner imbecile, and what would P88 be without the diarrhoea?

Speaking of come backs, you haven't answered my question in the free speech thread.

As far as I'm concerned if I'm banned two more times I'm outta here. It'll effectively be a month then two months afterwards.

Why bother at that point. Chez bans me more often than he changes underwear so it's just a matter of time. You guys can have all the fun you want soon enough.

We literally have a red coat, cigarette addicted, motorola using, ****e mod. Chez, why don't you stick to watching premier league darts with your lads and going out for "cheeky pints", because you are quite "****e" at modding.

This is what I imagine you look like.

2. The forum welcomes discussion of a wide variety of topics (current events, political issues, societal issues, philosophical issues, etc.). However, posts espousing the following viewpoints are not allowed in this forum:
white supremacy
homophobia
pro-pedophilia
misogyny
racism
bigotry towards minorities or religious groups
islamophobia
anti-semitism
hate speech

Oh wow now nobody will be able to constantly clown both of you for clearly tolerating if not outright agreeing with those viewpoints now that you've cribbed a list of things that seem to make the silly kids make stuff up to be mean and put it as a rule!

We will try hard to allow all criticism of the mods but OTT attacks are liable to be modded

The mods are bound by the rules as well. If we overstep then let us know.

any chance whoever keeps closing threads can actually leave a message saying why the threads are being closed?

Sooo...no personal attacks anymore in this place?

If so, it's a sad state of events.

I remember when this forum was explicitly intended to be where personal attacks and trolling could exist. The times, they were good.

The rules say:

Quote:

Threads will be moderated to keep them on topic and focused on the arguments/issues. Posts that focus on attacking the arguer or rehashing previous forum squabbles are not allowed.

In the new rules thread, I wrote this:

Quote:

I think obviously one of the consequences of allowing controversial viewpoints to a larger extent than P is that arguments are going to be more heated, and that's probably natural. People are going to tell you what they think of your views. I don't think the moderation in this regard is going to change very much, but I would suggest that the goal of moderation is to keep some semblance of order, and on-topic posting. There is some leeway to tell other posters exactly what you think about their views (again within the site-rules which forbid abuse, harassment, and threats...), but if threads devolve into content-less sniping between a couple of posters you can still expect to be moderated.

The upshot of all that, from my point of view, is that the point of moderation is not to go around moderating every post that expresses anger or hostility to another poster. The point is to keep threads from becoming complete ****-shows. So, no, you can't go around making dozens of posts just for the sake of calling other people *******s, with no other content. But that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to make your feelings about people and their posts pretty clear. It's more of a "stay on topic" rule than a "be extra polite" rule.

I think we might need an LC thread. I asked chez and whosnext about it just now. Any other opinions? It wouldn't be a !!! thread, but you could post about TP in it :P

I'd add to that, that keeping the anger or hostility to the issues being discussed, current posts/directly relevant older posts and the posters involved in the discussion count as part of engagement. The more people depart from that the more modding they should expect the dreaded green text or worse. (it's a re-working of the old pertinent argy bargy rule)
