yeah, I would accept that if it was on /board.
But this is a story/conversation based board. As I said, it might be the letter of the law, but it's the rules we live by over here, and we ask all posters to do teh same. if you don't like it, go back to /board. Or /talk. Or mumsnet.

HES GOT A VERY IMPORTANT POINT TO MAKE

So you're actively encouraging people to take the piss at work instead of doing what they're paid to do?
If people are complaining about it, then it's something that could get them in trouble at work, so it's something they shouldn't be doing at work and as such they should be the ones to fuck off.

Oh come on, BD, you're not here on a mission from our employers to make us work harder.
You're doing it for shits and giggles.

I'm just trying to point out the absurdity of this "no pictures" rule.

( BraynDedd Natasha Kaplinsky's labia majora, Thu 4 Apr 2013, 16:29, Reply)

So some people came over, posted some pictures. The pictures were modded.
The people complained about the pictures being modded. It was explained the most people on this board prefer not to have pictures, certainly not on the main page. Those people came back, posted more pictures, complained again when those pictures got modded. Now you're here, posting pictures and complaining that they get modded.

Somebody is certainly being absurd, this is true.
( Kroney, Thu 4 Apr 2013, 16:31, Reply)

If it was actually a rule we wouldn't be able to post pictures at all, like on /talk.
As it is, it's just people who think they can get away with pissing about when they should be working complaining when something might get them caught pissing about when they should be working.

there's no law against pissing on your own bed
but you kind of choose not to do it, you know?

I'm not personally encourage people to do anything.
I'm not getting in a pissing competition with you, either.

I've told you what we want you to do if you're going to stay here. Either stop fucking moaning and join in, or fuck off.

Then don't start pissing and moaning when this happens again.

I think you are welcome to stick around and continue to moan.

Blatent troll is blatent.
Surely you can see the logic behind the rule?

For example, I can go on any site I want, I have different tabs open. I can spend some time on here, it's not dictated by a figure, but if comedy pictures come up, then it's blate that I'm not concentrating that time to work (such as a task could be running in the background or waiting for someone to get back to me)......

And it makes all the other "not-work-but-allowed-and-semi-relivent" stuff seem totally slack. Eg, if this was full of pictures, then people would think that [for example, a site with a new CSS technique, that is relivent to me] would fall under the same catagory.

Right, except I don't know of a single workplace that lets people dick about when they're on the clock.
There is not a single reason for anyone to ever be on here while working.

"Reasonable" personal internet use is common

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Thu 4 Apr 2013, 16:44, Reply)

Yeah, for checking emails, news, that sort of thing.
Dicking about on a site founded upon giant cartoon willies probably doesn't fall within that remit.

I've never worked in a place where I can't have my own internet time.
It encouriges me to be up to date with the tech/web industries, and as a coder yourself, you should know the value of fucking off for 10 minutes or even an hour.
