Doesn't matter if it's nonsense or not, that's part of the debate (proving it to be nonsense). Are you trying to get my thread deleted LT? . It would be a fun example of irony but I've not actually had an answer yet!

It's quite funny that alot of the people agreeing with you are the people who are always reporting posts from these threads........how do we win that one?

That is for sure an odd and surprising one Niamh,I myself don't think I have ever really reported a post as such.
Although there have been times I have got into some difficulty at times.

I is why I myself would always support what admin. and the mods do as to threads.

How do you win that one you ask, I haven't a clue so you have my sympathy as to dealing with that.
It really is a puzzler from what you say in your post above.

The plot thickens. Is everyone just reporting each other?

"How very dare you!" *report* "you pig! "

" who are you calling a pig, you unimaginable bastard??" *report*

Still. Shame on all of you!

I think I've only ever reported one post to be fair, someone saying "some members *blah blah*" on a thread where people had already been told to cut it out. And I immediately regretted it. Made me feel like a tattle-tale .

I report Toy Soldier all the time. As a child I stepped on my super sergeant army ranger action man and I have foot related horror flashbacks every time I see his *shudder* name

Doesn't this belong in the "Niamh's strange fetishes" subforum?

Oh no never mind. Just checked and it's already full.

I know all of the backdoors.

I also know secret ways into subforums.

I usually try and just let it go. But lately it's become an issue. I've bumped the reminder in serious debates. Warned people in the threads. Cleaned them up and yet the constant sniping and digs continue. I do think the threads should be made but please (this isn't aimed at the OP or any member it's just in general) leave the personal comments out.

[Niamh.]

Yeah I agree with Eoin, it's become a problem lately and as Ammi said as well it's stopping other people from wanting to read and contribute to the Serious debate section because it just seems to become full of the same arguments and personal attacks between the same members

[Crimson Dynamo]

yes personal comments should be taken out. I called bobnot a bigot and he was right to report that as its not on

but all the other stuff makes it interesting - i dont want everyone saying "yes LT whilst i disagree I respectfully respect your right to have that opinion, you really are a great poster but on this issue I have to take issue with your assertion that Irish people are inherently pugnacious"

i mean

zzzzz

they fecking are tho

It's quite funny that a lot of 'sniping' threads start with 'It's quite funny'

This is relevant to me lately due to the closing of my KH thread, It really annoys me when the old chestnut of it puts people off posting in SD comes up, those who post in SD do because they have an opinion on a subject, if anyone really wanted to have a say they would.
Kaz is right SD is becoming too clinical, yes I've reported posts and I make no apology for that if any thread gets personal then I would advocate that, yet the KH thread was effectively ethnically cleansed with all counter argument removed.. what's the point in that? It ceases to be a debate then.

That's just the point though. That thread was closed, cleaned, reopened a warning about it and then yet again reports come in. I don't understand why you don't get that. It was discussed in admin. I closed it because it was becoming. Place to snipe and have a dig. There was plenty of warning about that specific thread yet people blatantly ignored it.

To be fair though - a couple of us DO get too involved and the editing of the thread was no different to the way that similar threads had been 'cleansed' in the past, so I don't really understand the 'umbrage' at this one.

I have had long, detailed posts removed which were 99% relevant to the thread topic but transgressed on 1%, and I have had posts removed which left those I was debating with with the 'last word', and it's not a satisfying feeling when this happens, but hey, that's life. Best to move on and all learn from this.

That's a pretty honest post Kirk
