Kreeos 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 I really, really want a 24 hr lock starting right about now. Almost 10 pages of arguments, 6 swear words, and many a angry debater has turned this thread into an out of control political wrestling ring. PLEASE temporarily lock this thread. Pfft. Six swears is nothing. You should see the last message board I frequented. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Six swears is nothing. You should see the last message board I frequented. But this is a graphics board with a rule that states this is a "family friendly board". There are 8 year olds here. Nothing to "Pfft." at! "Six swears" is something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They swear worse than I do and I sear like a sailor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ash 10 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 we can evolve beyond our pettiness. I agree with this statement but communism is NOT the answer. USSR failed, And China is NOT really communism anymore.... etc. Why should I be forced through the sweat of my brow to put food on your table so that you can do nothing? I would rather not work than be forced into labor for your benefit. Where/who do you think some of our tax $ goes to?? :? My eye started bleeding after read so many page on this. No new PDN work thanks to all of you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rubrica 14 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 Thank you for unlocking this, David. I wasn't here, but I won't ask what happened, because that'll start it all up again. Now then, I have an idea for a new thread, see the Sanctuary if you want to hear it, as after an hour of tribulation at swimming lessons, I am too tired to rewrite it.

david.atwell 286 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 Actually, that was BoltBait. Now, here's the deal: The argument and all related matters are now the topic. Since this is the thread, that means that they are not allowed. At all. Violation of this will result in a warn, then a ban. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Brown 41 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 @Rubrica, I don't really like the idea unless some other threads close. If not we would have: [*:5m36es4c]The off-topic thread for neither rants nor good news.[*:5m36es4c]The rants thread for rants.[*:5m36es4c]The sanctuary for good news.[*:5m36es4c]Your thread for posts that include rants and good news. That just seems a bit over-categorised in a useless way to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simon Brown 41 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 I see what you mean, but there are many people who almost always have one of the reasons I posted. But does a post really need to be seperated from the rants thread, the sanctuary and the off-topic just because it includes a rant and good news?

david.atwell 286 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 No, I don't think it does. :-) We have Rants, Sanctuary, and Offtopic, and I think that's enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since this is the thread, that means that they are not allowed. At all. Violation of this will result in a warn, then a ban. Am I hearing you correctly here? No arguments? Does this encompass reasonable debate, or debate that does not get out of hand? What if you respond to a comment, which turns into a debate? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
david.atwell 286 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 Nothing has changed; The moratorium does not encompass reasonable argument or debate. We're all fairly mature here. We need to act like it. I said "THE argument," not "ANY argument." :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
