Bring back degsy...

togster

I would like to voice my outrage at degsy's banning. It happened in the thunderdrome like....

Terry

Yeah, I agree. But let's wait until the 17th.

Mr Magnolia

Doesn't matter where it happened. One of the people who owns the site banned him.

He's back in on 17-08-2007 anyway.

togster

Oh rite. Fair enough. 17 is not so far away.

togster

OK but hold on. So there are rules in the thunderdrome now or?? Not being an ass, i always assumed that it was a free for all as there is no charter? Owners or not, maybe a warning about what is or isn't acceptable would be a good idea albeit that would take the fun out of the aforementioned forum.

\o/ he's back on my birthday.

Who told you that the tunderdome had no rules? Keeping in mind its the admins that determine such things. Certain rules apply accross all forums

No one told me i just assumed it. There is no charter and you can call whoever whatever you want. Keeping in mind what??? Where are these certain rules that apply across all forums.?? Just wondering like..

Common taste and decency. This isn't something awful. Degsy pushed the limits and got smashed down for it. So yea, you persumed wrong.

Pushed what limits?? Where are these limits. Thats my point. If they are there for everyone to see then i wouldn't have a problem. And as for persuming wrong, you still have to prove to me how i persumed wrong i.e charter/rules etc. My problem is that the thunderdrome shouldn't be regulated without a charter if it does in fact have rules.

"Common taste and decency" i could show you many posts where this is seriously lacking too but its in the thunderdrome.

Boston

You don't see others posting what Degsy did, so clearly the vast majority of people know not to. The problem with charters and lists of rules is that some people then proceed to think they're the only rules, ergo the absence of a charter means there are not rules. You where wrong in your presumption that no rules applied to the thunderdome, the proof is in the fact degsy was banned.

Fysh

Even in the absence of a charter, boards.ie has always operated on a pretty much Safe-For-Work basis (at least that's my understanding of it). So while the Thunderdome is a lot more lax about calling people all sorts of fun expletives, when it comes to posting images the rule reverts back to "would you feel comfortable viewing that picture in a work environment?". And, well, pics of people pooing fall well outside that remit (and it's not even a close call) hence banning.

Now i know i was wrong yeah after the fact. The basis of your argument like many more you have made on this site is flawed. So what your saying is that if there is no charter then its up to whoever to decide whatever. So my point is why have charters at all in other fora if thats the case.

Yes, I've confirmed everything. Where is the New Thread button??

cheers

Not who ever, the admins. You're not going to win an arguement saying the admins should be bound to a charter or even have to put one forward. Go to a forum with a charter, I'll doubt you'll find "don't post scat images" in it, yet somehow most peopel ahve the cop on not to do it. Its a mystery to me.

Im not saying they should be bound by a charter. Im saying they should be bound by lack of one. A lack of a charter would suggest a no rule forum. Every other forum has a charter specific or not to that forum. When i saw the image i too thought it was OTT but its the thunderdrome. You can talk about raping each others sisters and mothers. I PERSUMED it was ok.

ON THE TOP OF THE PAGE

Dragan

I find it very difficult to believe that someone is arguing the toss about a picture being posted of some taking a ****.

Common sense. Don't get me wrong, i like Degsy and have met him.

But come on to ****.

togster

Its feedback or have the rules changed here too.

You have to go into the forum (which in this case is Feedback) to see the 'new thread' button. So click whatever forum you wish, and at the top underneath the link 'User CP' there will be a button with this on it:



So then post away.

/Damn you Boston.

THE not THIS.
Chip and shoulder are two words which spring to mind Boston. Your tone in this and other threads is childish. Looking for an argument. I accept the admins own the site. I never suggested otherwise.

I had a great pic of a cat taking a dump with a clever caption but it doesn't seem appropriate to post it. Oh well...

Talliesin

I know. Let's postpone the debate about whether you can post scat porn on boards until after it stops being considered obscene under Irish law and subject to criminal prosecution.

:rolleyes:

The_B_Man

lol wait a sec.

someone posted a picture of themselves takin a crap? lol classic! glad i didnt see it tho.

Agamemnon

Nah, it was a picture of some random punter pinching one off, not any poster. I think Degsy shouldn't have been banned though. In the past, other dodgy stuff, like links to Tubgirl, were just deleted, and no-one was banned.

You know the urge you get to Google something, even though you know you probably should'nt ? I just did !!

Karl Hungus

Mostly anyone who's posted Tubgirl has been banned. I don't know where you're getting those facts, Agamemnon.

At this stage I've gone beyond simply bring desensitised to Tubgirl, and now I think she's actually quite hot. I mean, if you look past her rather unsavoury activity, she's got a seriously gorgeous ass, and she's obviously flexable. I mean, I certainly would. I'd prefer if she had a shower first though.
