Anyways, I have another three brand spanking new infraction points for my original post. From James, no less. By my thinking he thinking he is always right, I offended him, innit.

Apparently though I am wrong and he is right. What a beautiful illustration of sheer irony. I love when infraction points prove points.

Wait. So, you received infraction points for one of your posts in this thread?

I really do think the admins have it in for you.

Indeed it has. Such a fun game.

Look out for the little green robot hiding on top of a cliff in the newbie town. He doesn't do anything, yet he's always trying to grab your attention. Very strange.

People are being silly now.

When me and Sia were first made mods we were very strict.

I feel thats what the new mods are like, but i think they are doing a great job, at one point (during start of bb9) often i was the only mod on and there was so many people causing trouble it was hard to do it myself, until another came online..

Its great having a few more of them now, they are doing well as there is quite a lot of stupid offensive and unnecessary threads.

It got to lax at one point, people thinking they could get away from anything..

No that does not stand for Vicky

Im taking that as a compliment...as I dont quite understand what you meant arista...maybe because Ive had like 2 hours sleep

As somebody who has been on a couple of adult forums I think this place is pretty tolerant in many respects. I dont hang around long enough to pay too much attention but Ive seen mods baited in ways that would have gotten permanent bans for sure elsewhere. I've also witnessed outrageous homophobic insults that would be perm banned elswhere. Not just a paltry few days.

Ok Ive seen a couple of threads closed for debatable reasons but thats a judgement call. Somebody has to make it.

But its good for members like Jack to keep questioning how the wheels turn here. As long as he's doing it from a genuine place then it's all good. Im not here enough to really give a monkeys. But he is and seems to really care about the place and how it's run.

Jack just wants to tell dirty jokes!

People would not have been watching if they didn't think anything was going to happen. People were watching waiting for something to happen. Whilst its good that noone is harmed, I think most people are disappointed they didn't see anything at all whether or not they admit it. Its kind of like when you slow down on a motorway when theres a crash on the other side, and can't wait to tell someone about it. You don't consider for a second about the people involved in the crash ...

Anyway I don't think its getting any stricter, I just think there have been more moronic events lately than usual

I agree completely. It dosn't fundamentally make you a bad person but watching the news is a voyeuristic activity. News channels got huge ratings the day of 9/11 because it was an event. It was a spectacle. One derived directly from human misery. And by god, people sat watching that all day. Were the people watching the 9/11 coverage in Scunthorpe watching soley to keep updated in case Al Quabadeda set their sights on Scunthorpe? I highly doubt it.

... and people who were watching BBC News brag about seeing the second tower going down, because they saw it on live TV.

Some people are far too PC these days and speak what others want to hear.

WOMBAI · 01-03-2010, 03:03 PM

It is morbid curiosity!

Stu · 01-03-2010, 03:04 PM

E.g. voyeurism.

Enid · 01-03-2010, 03:07 PM

Schadenfreude is the word to describe that. We all love to watch others suffer - from silly little things like falling over, to crashing and burning to death. It's human nature. Nothing to be ashamed of.

I would be ashamed if I loved to watch someone burning to death! I don't think people other than sociopaths, as mentioned in another thread, would actually love to see that!

No, I have to disagree with you, I hate watching people suffer, I don't even watch the news

No I think we all do to some extent. Obviously, with some people it can become an obsession and quite sick, like me - I search for these things, FFS lol.

But it's all about survival, really. You see someone falling over, you laugh, not just because it's funny, but because you DIDN'T. You watch a tragic car crash and subconsciously think, "I've got one up on this dead guy". It may sound ridiculous, but it's true.

Nah, I don't enjoy it but is fascinates me, like not people burning to dead but death and all that stuff in general.

You might think like that but I certainly don't and I don't get how you can say that everyone thinks like that? All I know for sure is my own mind and what I think, and I hate seeing people suffer and do not get any enjoyment from it
