Saint Peter

Off Limits

Recommended Posts

Dear Mod/Mods,

 

I won't even mention which post was deleted yesterday.

 

However here is a place to discuss what's off limits as the post's particular subject is probably discussed in every home and workplace in the UK.

 

So the question is "What is to taboo for Deathlist ?"

id say getting to the extreme where someone starts to want to take things into their own hands in order to increase success would be particuallly taboo i personally would keep clear if it got to that extreme

Hello 'Dead O'Gonner',

 

You posted on the particular post that was removed yesterday. Can't mention the subject, however it involves a country surrounded by Spain and has beach.

 

Was that post taboo?

It's not actually surrounded by Spain it's neighbouring Spain.

Ok surrounded by Spain and the Sea to be fully correct :rolleyes:

 

As France and Andorra neighbour Spain, then that leaves you guessing between two soverign states.

 

Hell, I don't want any drive by ranters knowing what I am talking about (I hardly know myself) :)

Taboo around here has generally meant kids famous for being ill and/or missing, or other such posts likely to bring in ranters on a scale that ceases to be funny. Also taking on a spat with other posters gets you offed rapidly. Racism, blatant sexism etc etc also have a short shelf life, along with posting links to porn, SPAM or similar sites.

 

Other than that mind, it's a muthaf*****g free for all!

Why can't we write "Portugal"? There, I just did it and my computer didn't blow up. Oh, wait, now I get it (see point 2 below).

 

Not sure there are specific guidelines on what is acceptable for a thread or post, but some general themes that have emerged are:

 

no links to spam, pr0n or any of that rubbish - these will be removed immediately;

 

steer clear of threads about missing/kidnapped/dying/dead children. This is mainly to avoid lunatic ranters, Myra Hindley types etc. coming on to the site, and to show that there are some limits to our bad taste;

 

no Nazis;

 

no giving out personal details about any other DL member unless it's with that person's blessing;

 

if you want to try to meet up with other DL'ers, do so via a PM, not a thread which the Emlyn Hughes fan club might read and then lie in wait with pitchforks;

 

If you post too much or poorly or make some inaccurate or inane statement you'll likely get slagged off for it, but those are more misteps than strictly verboten (oops, almost violated point 3 above)

Damn and blast!! Can't you make an exception for me? You let Himmler get away with posting for ages.

However the post was focused how inept the parents are/were and why they seem to avoid blame. If it had been some family with less means, they would have been hounded for at least child neglect. Probably too much said already. :rolleyes:

 

Me thinks there is a lot of folks with the same sentiments....

... So the question is "What is to taboo for Deathlist ?"

That may well be a question by virtue of the use of the word "what" and a correctly-placed punctuation mark, but it's not one which makes any sense. The judicious addition of another "o", however, would have made the question perfectly comprehensible. I would suggest that, for those of us for whom Engrish is a first ranguage, confusion between "to" and "too" should be considered taboo.

 

It's always worth remembering that we like to keep it subtle and classy here at DL; saying you'd like to sk**l-f**k J0s1e Gr0v3's rott1ng c0rps3 would, I imagine, be too taboo for this forum and it'll probably earn you a warning, so don't do it...

 

In other news, the bridleway which runs next to my house has been made "off limits" by the local council, who have deemed it "unsafe" following recent heavy rain. This is, of course, utter nonsense; the product of some feeble-minded local official's minor power-trip following a complaint from some equally brain-dead local busybody, keen to cash in on the "Tewkesbury Effect". The bridleway is perfectly safe for all except blind toddlers with phenomenally poor self-preservation instincts, who happen to be walking alone in the countryside and are pathologically attracted to the sound of rushing water.

Guest I speak Engrish to
I would suggest that, for those of us for whom Engrish is a first ranguage, confusion between "to" and "too" should be considered taboo.

 

Try as I might, I can't seem to find ranguage in the dictionary. Would you care to elaborate? I could come to the conclusion that you are talking of a rain gauge owing to the follow on comment about the weather. However I was under the impression that all weather talk should be confined to the Patrick Moore thread.

Indeed, Star Crossed. Subtlety and Understatement is the way of the Deathlist.

 

Less is more (to quote The Unwritten Rules).

 

That is a maxim which some recently-joined members would do well to learn.

What was the deleted post about?

I assume from the posts above this one that the post Saint Peter had deleted was about Madeline McCann.

If so I cannot imagine what the detail of the post was that caused it to be deleted.

Could anyone tell me, without actually using the bit of the post that was obviously too offensive to read, why the post had to be deleted?

The post was not offensive.

The mods just couldn't be arsed dealing with the problem that Peter created.

It would have attracted masses of ranters and would generally have been more trouble than it was worth.

Don't think it was so much the masses of ranters Windsor, that can be dealt with, media attention can't however in such a sensitive case, that could lead to closure and no, I'm not the mod that deleted the post before anyone asks.

Cheers Windsor, for clarifying the reason. Probably mildly offensive comment but amusing was "Dr Shipman had a responsible job, he saved the NHS millions !!".

 

However events seem to be pointing towards what the ex-post was suggesting :rolleyes:

 

I will watch with interest and won't utter the "Unmentionable"........

I don't think the Shipman remark bothered anyone.

 

But as Lady Grendel and Windsor so rightly point out, there are certain subjects best avoided as they could lead to the getting hold of of wrong ends of sticks and knee-jerk reactions on the part of those not blessed with the requisite intellectual eminence to grasp the purpose and meaning of deathlist.

 

 

Present company excepted.
