Major Sig Issue

as i can see from his posts where ecksor's opinions lie, i'll leave it alone.

I've just been pointing out where one user has been repeatedly misusing a word (I think he was looking for the phrase 'willfully ignorant') and where you've failed to follow the thread of one of the arguments. Perhaps more time reading the posts and less time coming up with gigantic signatures? Considering that I'm the one being parodied in the signature I think I should sit on the fence wrt how suitable it is, don't you?

No they refer to Ecksor

Ecksors dancing, ecksors facist (sorry TC, I know there is some dissociation with facists and nazis) admining.

noone is saying wasn't hitler great or anything of the sort.

If there is any nazi reference then it is in a negative light.

Why am i getting so many freaking notifications of reply to this thread ? am I not ment to get just the one until until I visit the thread again ? I opened my inbox to find all these notificiations.

Hell I got one just now as I am typing. But I dont want to unsubscribe from it yet

There may be other replies also, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the board again.

Also

can anyone point out the mention or reference to hitler in the sig?

can you give me a positive light on a nazi reference ?

If me and a gang of my mates get a sig together slaggin off another friend about something which may be offensive to others yet a joke to us is that ok?

i think if your actually on boards at the time you can recieve more then one reply to a thread, ecksor responded to me on a thread on had on this topic before, if you are away from boards logged out and what not you should just get one reply

for some reason i sometimes recieve multiple replies to threads regardless of whether i'm logged into boards or not

Did you understand what I said? Did you understand why I said it? You don't appear to.


Does anyone object to the signature who isn't demonstrating themselves to be clinically stupid? This thread gets closed RSN if someone doesn't come up with something to redeem this debate.

Ah, righteous indignation. I'd imagine there are plenty of sources on the Internet that portray such notions in a positive light. stormfront.org perhaps?

Draupnir

Im not clinically stupid ecksor, I find offence

ferdi

personal insults ecksor? i thought more of you than that.

Third_Echelon

getting back to the issue at hand...

Are the admins gonna remove the nazi swastikas from sigs? Isn't this supposed to be a community forum where people from all walks of life can express their opinions and views without getting offended by such symbols of opression and hatred?

and before you start going on about the buddism link... dont!

ecksor

Yeah, that's what I meant. Anyone else?

DRakE

but the buddist said we could!

ecksor

Draupnir finds offense. How unexpected.

ferdi complains about personal insults. I'll promise not to insult if you do!

Third_Echelon wants me to oppress users by removing a symbol of oppression.

I think this is irony.

I think not. Apparently it's ok as long as some find it funny.

so the nazi swastika isnt a sign of hatred and opression??? and it doesnt offend people???

free speech and choice etc doesnt come into when you do not condone nazism... by having it there you would be saying that nazism was a good thing and that you supported it...

would you wear a man utd jersey if you supported liverpool?? i think not... if you dont support it why would you wear its symbol???

Ah it's all becoming clear now...

This was just a ruse to discuss soccer in another forum while ths soccer forum is closed...

Very clever!

My sister has a tattoo of the Playboy bunny, it doesn't mean she's a stripper.

jill_valentine

She's a bank teller.

Time for thread closure methinks.

jill_valentine

no, it just means she has no class

Hold on, I thought personal insults were beyond the pale? You don't see how that might cause offence?

ferdi

i never said that.....;)

ecksor

Ok, ferdi banned for that last comment, I'm sure Jill Valentine's sister is a classy lady and I won't have her virtue sullied on here. I encourage Jill to post pictures of this tattoo at her earliest convenience.

This thread is closed.

Well being german/irish i take my sig in the full context its meant. tbh its not like im a jack booted skin headed neo socialist nazi hell bent on destroying all the jewish people....... now the IJC is another matter .If I had the swastika on its own i would definitly see peoples problems with it and tbh i would never use it on its own but in this case its more satire on ecksors unique brand of adminning . Aslo im fairly sure a boards user has a picture of good old uncle adolf as their avatar with a tag of "Hail victory" who tbh is more of a historical monster than a symbol adopted by the nazi party.

He was asked politely to remove it and did. He was also modding the French board so I felt it was particularly dubious. I'd also ask you to remove that sig as I dont think it's helping or particularly pleasant. I won cut it but I do frown on it, I know several people who lost friends and family to the nazis and thats a little close for comfort personally. Thats a personal emotional response too, not an intellectual one or policy for the site.

I read this after I removed the signatures from Drake and Funky. They are offensive, and I have no problems demodding or disusering people who cross the line.
