Deathray 2,940 Posted April 17, 2016 At the minute admins seem to let trolls run amok round this place and it makes actually talking about death related stuff incredibly difficult. A number of high-profile members have already been scared away by the plague of Zyklon and the Don (geddit?). Can we seriously consider instituted house rules and a team of moderators to enforce them to avoid this situation continuing? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted April 17, 2016 Oh the irony of my OP being liked by two of the fucking trolls themselves.Me? When did I ever do anything? I told Zorders like two times to shut up and that's all. I ain't got time for this shit. And it's not like I spent weeks calling everybody cunts. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although you offered your condolences to a certain someone in the Death In The Family thread so you've clear got a bit of a wicked troll in you somewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not particularly sane and therein may lie the catch! Though it does seem to me, over the years I've been here, the older posters have been fairly welcoming to a whole lot of newer posters: DJL, Bibliogryphon, and Shaun to name but three. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR976evil 906 Posted April 17, 2016 All I'll say is, lately I've become very tired of visiting these forums, dominated as they are of late by certain persons clogging them up with relentless streams of infantile drivel.

Phantom 2,533 Posted April 18, 2016 Ban Zorders. Restore peace. That's my plan. RadGuy for Mod 2016! If you ban Zorders, you'll also need to ban KilliersElf as they're one and the same. Not sure what compelled him to do this, but since he's blocked by me, it seems so pointless. KilliersElf added you as a friend Today, 12:56 AM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted April 18, 2016 As a relatively new member of the forum, I tend to just ignore a lot of the fairly pointless back and forth. Plenty of the regulars seem thoroughly decent folk, have welcomed me without question and have had some back and forth with me on a variety of topics and I'm certainly not on here to cause any aggro (surely people have better things to do with their life?) I do have an argumentative streak in me, but choose not to post on some of the more controversial topics because I cba defending my possession for a month. Whether that makes those particular topics 'off limits' to newbies I don't know but as I'm sure I've done nothing to break any of what I'd imagine would be the proposed 'House Rules' it doesn't matter to me either way if they're imposed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weren't you the one calling me and ( I think) Hein cunts etc as well as other members? We (Admins) had the discussion as I had put a lifetime ban on you. Hein relented and let you back. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted April 18, 2016 Fuck sakes deathers, a terrible thread (this from one that's started a few). The majority of the regulars are of an age that we know we'll never ride through Paris, in a sports car , with the warm wind in our hair. Except baldy lfn apparently. I don't think we have a desire for moderation. The young shavers on the other hand, want moderation. I take it this is because they were treated like weans in school , and miss a firm hand steering their course in life. As good a reason for the reintroduction of capital corporal punishment in primrary as any. Instead of whining like a bitch, why not be more welcoming to new members ? Just a thought.... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,533 Posted April 18, 2016 I just wonder when everyone became so quick to be offended by everything. Earliest I can think of was late 80s with a girl in my class at college where any comment made by the lecturers she'd deem racist, sexist, ageist or fuck-knows-whatist. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Earliest I can think of was late 80s with a girl in my class at college where any comment made by the lecturers she'd deem racist, sexist, ageist or fuck-knows-whatist. I genuinely blame the baby boomers. Although my parents were born earlier , I was a late bairn, so born in the summer of lurve. All those hippy cunts that were the parents of my schoolmates, instilled that peace shite into some of them, which fits with your timeline. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
