Banning is important. Sometimes it is not fair but members do need some form of realisation that being offensive wont be tolerated!
I know members have been banned unfairly a few times but mods are human and they make mistakes sometimes.
Anyway.. Go mods *fist pumps*

they are good when they don't give out infractions for **** reasons.

Sometimes the reasons are a bit strange yes

MrGaryy · 17-02-2010, 06:04 PM

Well...some of the mods anyway.

Jack_ · 17-02-2010, 06:07 PM

Ban trolls and people who constantly insult without being provoked, yes, by all means.

But for the love of God, I wish they'd stop banning people who (a) have a different opinion or (b) have a different sense of humour.

But hey, we may as well call it thisispoliticallycorrect.com

Here we go again. Should we have another major singer death or a new earthquake in a poor country to talk about something else ? Seriously, it's irritating now.

How did I know you were going to make an extra topic to contribute to this developing drama?

I'm with Jack on this one. Active flaming is bad, but active flaming of stupid people and trolls should be encouraged. If they leave, this place becomes better for everybody.

Simples.

Stacey. · 17-02-2010, 06:08 PM

some mods are alright!

Shaun · 17-02-2010, 06:08 PM

oh Jack_, if this is a continuation of the annoyance with the removal of Josef Fritzl threads - please move on. Even as a joke, which I can tolerate (though some cannot, and that's their prerogative), it's very old now.

Enid · 17-02-2010, 06:08 PM

I wish they'd ban you.

Yeah it's very very very very old now. Every running joke has to stop sooner or later.

The 2 points you stated.. Difference in opinion and different sence of humour.
If your opinion or sence of humour could be considered insulting or hurtful to someone then infractions do get given.

I shouldn't have to move on. It's a forum and the idea is that we post what we want to post, and discuss what we want to discuss.

Other than the mods in question not finding that sort of humour funny, there's no reason as to why they should be removed.

It's like banning discussion of Jedward, because the mods don't like them. What would be the point?

Some people may and understandably take offence to fritzl jokes, thats why.
Though i wasnt here to see it.

But with a single thread for all jokes like that, people wouldn't have to view it, so wouldn't have to be offended.

By all means, if I'm offending someone, stop me. But if there are ways of me getting around that (a thread), then let me.

Shaun · 17-02-2010, 06:15 PM

It wasn't just the moderators, if I recall correctly, that found it offensive though, was it?

Whilst I don't really give a **** about offensive humour - since I love Mock the Week, Frankie Boyle, etc, it does have a time and a place (you wouldn't dare see it on TV pre-watershed) and unfortunately there're sensitive minds on this site.

Even so...enough Fritzl for now. Can't we all move on...

If it was about something else than Josef Fritlz, I would have got your point. I love nasty jokes, I do, but I know it can hurt or offend people sometimes. We don't really know the other members and what they're like in real life so you don't know if it could hurt them or not. Like I just told Patrick in a PM, you can voice your opinion, and that's very important, but there is a difference between saying what you think and being nasty or hurtful.
