Be a saviour of this forum
Mods, you must be able to tell that some people add real stories here , add value, add entertainment.. add the sort of content that used to make me roar with laughter...

And then there is Brayndedd, Janet A, Shambolic and sundry other wastes of blood and organs. People who only live to hurt others.
Seriously. get rid of the troll scum or lose those of us who came here to add value. Your site is dying and you are failing in your duties.

The problem is......
...the principle of Freedom of Speech.

If the mods censor comments, they become the saviours of b3tans who are sane and rational, but they also set themselves up for a damned good kicking by denying the right to contribute inanities, profanities, bigotry, racism, homophobia and just about every other -obia I can think of. Oh let's not forget the insidious piss-taking of the mentally handicapped too.

Yes, the board is screaming out for rationality, but for every 50 or so really trite (alright?) comments, there's the odd gem which still makes me laugh. It's a shame that brains can't be engaged before fingers hit keyboards.

I'm with your sentiments, but many people died in order to preserve the very principe that you wish to deny others. There are no winners, only losers.

Mainly the ones you mentioned in your post.

The universal principles of freedom of speech dont and never have applied to private forums.. if they did I'd have the right to put the truth about many social issues into the pages of the Daily Mail.

A government can't (or at least shouldn't) stop its citizens speaking their minds (except if they think certain naughty people are actually kinda ok!). A Private entity has the total right to police behaviour on its virtual property.

And its visitors have the right not to visit.

I'm conflicted
On one hand, you're absolutely right. But on the other hand WAHHH WAHHH WAHHH WAHHH

He's got a point though.
If you browse back through the last few weeks I only have stories on the popular page of ... well ... most of them actually. But I'm sure apart from that he has a point. I'm almost certainly horrible and ruining everything.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Tue 14 May 2013, 19:15, closed)

It's subjective though, isn't it?
I find the 'troll' posts funny. I read your post as,'Waaaaaaaah, QOTW should be what I want it to be, and people should bend over backwards to do my bidding, WWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH'.

Do you have any shares or controlling interest in this site?
What's that Skip? You don't?

So answer me this: why should anyone in charge even listen to your opinion, never mind carry out your campaign of pointless bigotry against "scum", i.e. users who aren't to your personal taste?

Wipe your eyes, log out and go back to the Daily Mail forums, there's a good lad.

I've changed my mind, I'm a 100% behind the OP. Let's get rid of the scum that infest this place.

All those 'wastes of organs' have all made me roar with laughter. But never have laughed at a cunt moaning about how it used to be better in the old days

It was better in the olden days though.

( Infidel , shit and wrong, Tue 14 May 2013, 20:51, closed)

To accuse people of trolling and in the same breath
call people scum and a waste of blood and organs seems to me hypocritical at best.
Your open letter to the mods is wasted. If they wanted rid of your accusees they would have taken action without your prompting, unless maybe you think nobody is watching us.
I think the people you mention provide a valuable service of making sure the rest of us don't get too pompous They've certainly helped me in that respect.
You don't even have to use ignore to avoid being upset. You have identified people whose posts you don't want to read. Dont read them!
And please try not to be quite so precious.
Thank you.

thanks for your valuable insight.
i hope you die in a fire. it's ok for me to say that, right? since you called me a waste of skin and organs, and that.

There's this utopian village, right, where justice is upheld by police who redefine laws daily, depending on what side of the bed the populace got out of.
Strangely enough, anyone who's been on holiday and comes back can't figure out what the fuck is going on.

You should post this on /talk.
This level of quality moaning deserves the widest possible audience.

Be careful, though. Someone from there called me a rude name, and it took me months to recover.
