lol omg.

Ahh...
Well I think a disclaimer on some threads would be appropriate or a new Terms and Conditions clause for members.
Something along the lines of acknowledging that while the majority of people in the forums are mature they will make poor effort in showing it. Members should also take heed that more than often sadistic and poor taste in humour is often displayed for the viewing of others, but you may reply with similar distaste for vengence.

Something like that anyways...

Um... you're not above the ''read before you open yer' mouth'' rule... It was obviously a satire. And I hope you do ban all of us. Then you can sit here alone and wallow in it.

Raa: I'm pretty sure he was being funny/sarcastic too.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

Eh? That's not the typical way Sarnie tries to make hunour...  Except for the multiple exclamation points.

Either way. I feel like defying authority tonight, and I really don't know why.

Sarcasm? What's that? :D

BTW, I forgot to mention that nuking Never Neverland back to the stone age might also be an option. ;)

I think it'd be a lot better to make a 'Debate Floor' forum for all political/economics/religion discussion. I've seen this on another forum and it works pretty well, since only the people who want to discuss the issues ever see the threads on them. To reduce clutter on the main page, it could even be a subforum of Hard Light.

The only problem I see is finding someone to moderate it.

I think we'd rather everyone just avoided being such complete asses, rather than trying to find new and inventive ways for them to discuss the same things. I for one have no problem with political threads and what have you - if people want to discuss that then that's fine by me.

What's getting on my nerves is that certain members don't know where to draw the line... when to shut up. As has already been said - banning is a much easier option. Less hassle for us and instantly effective.

It's also fun ;)

Shrike, he can just use a bot to lock every thread at a random number of posts, I wonder how long it'd take before people figured it out ;)

Heh. I would (mod it), but I don't think the administration would like it much... (I'd be fair! I pwomise!)

Admins regularly check the Hard Light forum and close threads when necessary. Finding moderators would not be a problem.

Liberator in particular feeling under pressure because of some of his views,


If Liberator would not frequently make personal attacks against everybody who disagrees with him, then perhaps he would have some sympathy. As it stands right now, I doubt it.

I think he is getting exactly what he deserves.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Heh, you could at least have replaced some of the '!'s with '1's, I'd have probably got the message then :p
