So, yes, you are being paranoid. And KrustyPants and myself are new-users to this site... thanks for the great welcome! Censored posting, insinuations that I sent the post etc... nahh, doesn't bother me anyway, there are well established 'cliques' here. But read my original post again, and you should agree that moderators should keep a step back, and let adults post their own views (even if they are taking the piss) and let the thread flow whatever way the people posting want to. Or maybe you wont agree... after all I'm just a noob! heheh :rolleyes:
I see... you seem to be rather argumentative about this, where I was only pointing out what seemed to be (at best) a startling coincidence - especially as you seem willing to fight your friend's corner for him; it would appear that he had no problem posting before this proverbial rap-on-the-knuckles, so why not now? - but if a coincidence is indeed what you say it is, then fair enough. Can you not see how it might seem worthy of mentioning - especially considering how many have gone down this route before - I'm sure you must have seen a few examples?
As regards the rest, well, as I said, I didn't see the original post, which makes reasonable comment on that impossible. However, I think that if you look around the boards a bit more, you'll find that there's quite a lot of what you're campaigning for - plenty of humour, some threads that go a bit mad, and so on.
...and this says what, exactly, about your character? Is it meant to paint you in a good light?Originally posted by Wolfie
I only have one account here, Wolfie, and I dont use any fake names or anything to post 'mad-****' coz it wouldn't bother me posting anything from this account anyway.
One last question though - why, tell me, if this perceived agression doesn't bother you, did you go to the trouble of replying with a thread where you insist on throwing mud around to see what'll stick? If you're looking for an argument, pick a fight with someone in a bar; if you're looking for a discussion, then, by all means, stay here. But please consider your potential audience (kids, etc.) before you post any 'mad-****'.
Regards,

not yo uagain, as for the personal issues forum, it is an extremely serious forum, and i think every topic there should be given the respect it deserves
Boston, arse bandit, the 'issue' in the personal forum was about a guy who **** 4-5 times a day... now maybe you think that is a serious issue, but I (and anyone else with a sense of humour) would see that it was not. and should have the piss taken out of it immediately.

If it wasnt serious then it shouldnt be there, you have just proved the mods right for locking it. theres a humor board, go check it out0 -

Truth be told, the moniker was chosen, for three reasons - the first being what you've written above, and the second is that it's relatively harmless as these things go, and the third, well, the third's an in-joke with my and my friends that I won't go into. On the other hand, what the hell is "The Pleasurer" about? I had a nice little paragraph worked out here with the intention of saying something about it, but I've decided it's not worth the aggravation.Originally posted by The Pleasurer
if i were you i'd follow suit and ask one of your friends to help you solve the mysteries of the message board because it's blatantly obvious from your humourless replies that you are in urgent need of a sense of humour with regard to these message boards.wolfie as far as i can see is making fair points and not abusing anybody(apart from the idiot that goes by the name of boston who's looking for arguments)
to sum up,STOP BEING SO PRECIOUS ABOUT THE BOARD.
Curiously, my last two posts on that subject were intended to be humourous, but it demonstrates an important point about how writing something down is so different to saying it to someone's face, or even speaking over the phone, to a lesser extent; that is, that it's much more difficult to assess a person's mood when they write something, especially if it's typed.
If you talk to someone face-to-face, you can read body language, gestures, and so on (studies have shown that the basic emotions manifest themselves the same way in all humans); if you talk to them without seeing them, you can sometimes sense stress or ill-placed delays in their speech patterns; hell, if they write it by hand, you can even determine a certain amount by how hard their handwriting, and the amount of pressure they used, but a typed message is very difficult in this respect, as the best jokes are often subtle, so sometimes people get it, sometimes they don't. It's just like that. Smilies/emoticons help, but they're far from foolproof. Evidently, you fell for the same trap you seem so convinced I fell for, but that's all well and good. These things happen.
I happen to agree with Wolfie's last post; I don't necessarily approve wholeheartedly with his approach up until now, but his intentions are honourable enough, and that's good enough for me. On the subject of Boston, well, from seeing him in action, I know for a fact that he's more than capable of fighting his corner; he's one of the characters that keeps this place interesting, if you ask me.
Can we agree to just drop this? I'm not in the mood for an argument right now...

P.S.> I should probably mention, in reference to this:
...that actually, the stars/title aren't part of a voting system - you'll clear the newbie tag after (I think) 10 posts. The stars grow in number with each title (each one granted at different post counts), and I believe the different colours are to say what the user is - user, moderator or admin, or something like that. It seems that for both of us, to varying extents, it's just as well no-one has to like us!Originally posted by The Pleasurer
ps i'm new here,any chance of voting for me so i can get rid of this newbie tag and become a cool newbie,
your's the pleasurer

I wrote a good post on this (if I do say so myself) on another thread...coudln't be arsed looking for it. The whole point of having different forums is to separate content. If we wanted boards where we could just post anything, we'd just have one big After Hours board, and that'd be no fun would it?
Personal Issues was set up as a serious forum to help people with problems. The mods have decided that making fun of people's problems, or indeed of the people themselves is not on and is always removed.
After Hours deals with anything not already categorised and there is plenty of funny stuff posted up there, and people are pretty much free to post what they want, DonkeysLad, I don't see why you think they're not. The only things that will be removed from any board are :
Porn, esp. animal/child/sadistic
Personal Attacks (see 'flaming')
Commercial Advertising (see 'spam')
Relentless, Pointless posting (also see 'spam')
Exceptions to these rules are:
Borderline Porn (see 'Slydice Special' card)
Personal Attacks will more or less be allowed on the Admin board
Personal Advertising ('My band is playing a gig tomorrow, please come')
Spam is allowed in the Recycle bin and on private boards (see 'SMAK attack' and 'richindub2' cards).
Whether your post is removed or not depends on whether it contains any of the above, where it's posted, and who it's directed at (if anyone). Plenty of the Mods know eachother, and so personal jibes and minor spam is tolerated by their friends. Double Standards? Yes. Put up with it for a few months, and soon you'll be allowed bend the rules just like them.
There's no protective 'click' here. Boards.ie keeps on growing and the admins are happy to see it, but with larger popullations, comes more problems, which calls for more crackdowns on troublemakers. After all, if we didn't it'd just be like some of those crap American boards full of spam and posts fawnig over Tori Amos :rolleyes:
We don't want that do we??
