How come this thread is not closed?

Given how 'down' Boards is on any type of illegal activity being discussed and promoted on fora, how come this thread is allowed?...

These graffiti taggers are making Dublin look like the Bronx, all they look for is 'fame' and this thread is just giving them the oxygen of publicity.

Have you hit the 'report this post' icon?

Why do you want to censor art?

Goodshape

Haven't read the whole thread but I've just skimmed over the last page and there seems to be as many detractors as there is praise. Sort of like, oh I dunno, a discussion maybe.

Locking these threads on sight isn't going to stop the artists, but it will stop people from both sides getting their opinions heard.

Just my 2c

Cos its "art" that wasnt commisioned by a customer or patron,is not produced on the property of the artist,is devaluing property and is against the law.

Since when was boards a democracy?I posted about Liberty Cap mushrooms and the thread was locked aftre three posts.I wasnt advocating drying or preparing them in any way that would be construed as illegal or actionable.The thread about grafiti has people who are destroying property and breaking the law being given a free rein to air thier opinions.Whay not have a shoplifting thread/I'm sure we'd soon get a discussion going,or better yet a thread where drug dealers can shoot the breeze about what they do.

And because it's not a democracy your opinion matters more than mine?

Just giving my opinion, nothing more.

It would be my further opinion that a thread on Liberty Caps should be allowed, as they grow wild in this country, but I don't see that happening. And there's a fair difference between shoplifting / drug dealing and graffiti, which can be nice if it's done well.

Not really.Shoplifting and drug dealing are both anti-social activities which the law declares to be illegal.In addition,open drug dealing in an area doesnt do much for its public perception anymore than scrawling all over walls does.In the end as with all crimes the taxpayer ends up footing the bill for it while the proponants get to air thier egos in public.

Well, the thread is called: Who is Grift and who are the ICN crew? so it's kind of going a little off topic with the for/against arguments. And in fairness, it's 635 post pointing out the same arguments over and over. It's kind of run it's course anyway.

Dave!

Report it and shut the hell up

Oh so art is only art if someone pays for it?

DublinWriter. Since you clearly don't object to the thread (you know where the report post button is, you know that's how to complain about a thread) this is presumably yet more "Look at me" antics from you.

Go ask for a private forum called Look At DublinWriter instead.
