Objectionable links

[Gawain of Orkeny]

It is fair to mention that you ignored my posts from 24 hours ago asking you to edit your links. You also ignored my PM from 16 hours ago asking you to edit your links. (I have a read-receipt.)

I didnt read your post. I did however read your pm I admit. Also exactly what you meant by edit was unclear and I was quite tird at the time. As soon as I logged on today BKS pmed me and I responed immeadatly. Whats objectionable to you or BKS is not to me so I left it to him to edit. I though you had this power as well.

My notes were polite, gave ample reasons, and cited forum rules. You complety ignored everything and made no effort whatsoever to contact me and work the situation out.

Again I thought if you really had a problem you could just delete them. There is no working the situtation out as I doubt you would change your mind.

I don't think it's fair of you to complain like this. You made zero effort to remedy the situation.

I did I put it in the hands of BKS. Sorry I didnt jump fast enough for you.

Pictures of torture, really?

Does Abu Gharib ring a bell for one. How about the video of Marines shooting a man?

Well it's hard to work the situation out if you presume I won't listen to you and therefore don't speak to me about it. I am certainly reasonable enough to listen to your viewpoint.

Sorry I didnt jump fast enough for you.

Oh please, nobody is asking you to bow down or jump to commands. But there are clearly stated rules and you should not act so surprised when the staff asks you to observe them. The zero tolerance rule for swearing in the Frontroom is very clearly posted and constantly enforced both publicly and ruthlessly. I doubt you got to 10,000+ posts by not knowing what's going on around you in the forums.

IM(not so)HO, I think you are going out of your way to pick a fight and I don't see any benefit in it for anyone. The zero tolerance rule regarding swearing is in effect and will remain so until further notice. So please be advised, that in the Frontroom - and the Backroom as well as posted by Ser Clegane - there is zero tolerance for swearing.

I think that's clear enough.

Zero tolerance is zero tolerance is it not? Havent the ridiculus things about kids getting arresseted or suspended for having a toy gun or giving another student an aspirin demonstrated the folly of such positions?

My point is only that I didnt do it fast enough for you.

I didnt swear Sgt Ermey did I even warned others that they might find the link objectionable. You didnt see any cursing from looking at my post you had to act upon it.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Argh, that was an accident. I apologise for that, my finger slipped.

I'd be happy for you to re-post the unobjectionable ones.

I missed the Goodfellas clip, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Now since all the objectionable material has been removed can you and Beruit explain why this thread is locked? !!!!!!!!!!!!

The thread was closed by me because it was turning into a scrap-fest of accusations and counter-accusations, completely out of line with the atmosphere of the Frontroom. BKS may re-open the thread at his discretion of course.

The Frontroom rules have been posted and made abundantly clear and still people act surprised when they are enforced. Bad language, bad manners and general nastiness are out of place in the Frontroom and are not permitted.

Let us make it abundantly clear again - The Peace & Love atmosphere of the Frontroom will be enforced by sword point if required. The rules are posted, the rules are clear, the rules will be ruthlessly enforced and we make no apologies for it.

Erm, no.. what is Abu Gharib? Video of Marines shooting a man?

[Strike For The South]

Erm, no.. what is Abu Gharib? Video of Marines shooting a man?

was that sarcasm And Gawian let the mods do what they need to there are young impreshenable minds on this board (BP JAG Mikeus) and this is only a forum life will go on my friend

[TosaInu]

This is about Frontroom -> moved.

[Byzantine Prince]

there are young impressionable minds on this board (BP

Who are you calling impressionable!?!?!?

[Del Arroyo]

You know Beirut there is such a thing as soft-touch, there is such a thing as restraint. Running around stomping on every tiny thing may not be the most effective way to enforce rules-- people will get annoyed. I mean, you obviously will WIN, but you're not really contributing to the well-being of the boards.

The "this is just a board" mantra applies to moderators as well as patrons, IMO. It is just a board!

DA

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

No - it is the very best board out there, and things must be done to maintain that status.

Agreed. That's why we don't stomp on every tiny thing in The Frontroom.

Just swearing, religion and politics. The rest of the entire breadth of the known universe and all that it has contained for the past 15,000,000,000 years is open to discussion.

I think that's pretty fair.

JAG is Gawain. I think.

Anyway, Gawain does have a point, in a way- most kids who have the intellegence to post here have heard all the words we don't want them using (aside from the really bad ones- namely references to race or genatalia.) However, that is the catch- if cursing is allowed, then the truly offensive words will find their way onto the Org, so a policy of suppresion becomes necessary.

Indeed. There is no such thing as "light cursing", or at least not for long. So it is better to forbid all swearwords, since they are not necessary for conversation. If someone does feel inhibited by this, there are plenty of other forums where he or she can swear to his heart's desire.
