I don't think I'm the one who should apologise here.
Imagine if you will a small pub. It's a "local" pub but it's clientele come in all shapes, genders & sizes, from all walks of life and all corners of the globe.

One corner of the pub is reserved for those who like a good natter. It can get a bit repetitious and the humor is a mix of frat-boy and in-jokes but it's usually all in good fun. Another corner is set aside for those who like to share information with each other. They can be a lively bunch but mostly keep to themselves. In the 3rd corner we find those who can make funny moving pictures and draw spunking magenta cocks on other pics. Speaks for itself really. Funny shit to look at all day, everyday.
Finally we come to the story-tellers corner. This is a spot where the windbags do tend to gather. The landlord or a pub employee usually sets the topic (apparently thru some sort of democratic process) and the clients take turns telling their (sometimes true) tales based upon the topic.

When I first frequented this bar - mainly as purely a listener rather than a talker in the story corner, most of the story tellers would tell their tales and aside from some vigorous ribbing the audience would make their comments.
Things slowly started to change. It seemed as tho the most negative minded of the nattering mob, having got bored with the tautological banter where they were wanted something else, so many of them drifted over to the story-tellers corner.

This was also around the time that I became more of a teller than a listener. It also seems to be when some of the pubs problems started.[Maybe there is some correlation there - good-onya for spotting it!]
As story tellers told their tales they were often shouted down by the natterers or abused out-rightly as the natterers then took over the tales with their in jokes. To the point that there were even jokes about outdoor structures that store garden tools.
Surely jokes about the landlord's proclivity to stick his digits inside children would be funnier than that? No?
I mean these guys really are like flies on shit.
These days you head down to the pub and as you walk in the front door you pretty much get called a cunt for ordering your drink.

There have been many more people apart from me who have made far more effort to basically spoil the experience for everyone else, aside from their little cadre of in-jokers (however they seem just as happy to turn on each other too!).
So I'd like to apologise for my part in making this a shit pub. Because I decided I was sick of hearing the the same old dribbly shit-giving from a bunch of people who rarely actually head down to the pub to tell a story and have a laugh at others' stories and instead head down to the pub to hang pointless shit on the people there to share a story.

How many of us would actually listen and talk to these people in RL if they behaved the way they do online?

No you fucking don't. You might whisper to your mates but you don't have the bottle or the backup to take the piss out of someone in a pub. To be fair, I wouldn't either. Taking the piss out of someone in the pub generally leads to fisticuffs. Something to be avoided unless I have no other choice.

Way to miss the point, Dr. Einstein.
Why would anyone bother taking the time to write something funny?

The standard reaction now is for one of you shitflinging chimps to either; aggressively accuse the poster of lying, which wasn't entertaining the first time you did it, so the 1,00th time is almost physically painful, or to just hijack the whole thing and drag it off into yet another bickering match.

Ringofyre certianly has posted interesting and amusing stuff in the past. He rarely does it now, and I know exactly why. He has explained it very precisely in this thread.

You on the other hand don't get it. You still think calling people liars, cunts, or lying cunts is worth doing.

Anyway, to go back to the analogy, what you've managed to do is chase all the interesting posters out of the pub. Now you're complaining that it's full of idiots. Well, you're hogging the bar there son, if you want something better, move aside.
(username failed moderation, Mon 21 Jan 2013, 9:21, closed)

I've seen plenty of responses from AB and others acknowledging stories that are funny.
If it doesn't happen as often it is probably because a page full of "Great story mate!" posts is a lot duller than, say, calling an obvious liar a liar and them getting upset by it.

How we fix it
is very simple.

Basically, you can't respond to a post until you've posted yourself on that week's entry.

If the entry you post is obviously shit (an in-joke, a dreadful pun rather than a good one) or just complete nonsense - it gets removed and your right to reply to QoTW for that week is suspended.

If your reply is just "LIES" or any form of in-joke - it gets deleted. No more responses for you to QoTW for that week.

3 strikes and you're out. Three reasons to delete your posts or responses, and you and your IP address are banned forever.

Fuck up your first post to QoTW by breaking these rules - banned forever.

That would fix it pure and simple. Mods - are you listening

How come Windypig isn't a MOD?
Doesn't he finger enough dogs for you? Eh? You people disgust me.

The man clearly doesn't have a fucking clue how to run a pub.
Or indeed how to post on a comedy forum without getting extremely upset and having a massive internet breakdown. I hope you can talk some sense into him windy.

It's
evolution, and to be expected. And whilst a glass of whine seems appropriate, QOTW's entertainment value is ultimately whatever one wishes it to be.

I'm the chap in the corner with the soda water reading the paper.

That's not your 1st "soda water" is it?

Genuine mistake, sorry
*wipes ringofyre's jacket, leaves print stains*

*knocks over said's drink*

*trips over table leg, falls into next table, knocks drinks over punters*

*gets up, slips, falls over pool cue rack, cue hits jukebox which starts playing yakkity sax*

*gets hit in face by cream pie*

*makes for door*

Sorry!

It's like complaining that telly's crap.
Switch it off, then.

You could always take a leaf out of your own book
You did choose to comment on this thread. You could have ignored it.
Or are you the guardian of B3TA now?

Yes I am, and you'd do well to remember that.

Maybe, just maybe,
he's not the one who's upset?
This whole thread is a complete waste of time, isn't it?
( monster munch person, man, woman... camera... TV?, Mon 21 Jan 2013, 13:36, closed)

I think the accusations about people being upset is a tad overused.
It seems to be the stock answer for the hard-of-thinking.

Personally I think this thread has sort of proven the point Ringo was trying to make. Although I'll probably be accused of flouncing, being upset, boring, or using the Legless gambit instead of a witty or God forbid intelligent reply being said in response.

You seem a little upset, here.

Too subtle.

(Kliper Filllets Getting noticed by twats on the internet since, Wed 23 Jan 2013, 7:08, closed)

Honestly?
I've never received any of this 'abuse' stuff on anything I've posted, as infrequently as I bother.

Also, everything you post is tedious and awful.
( cs1ca, Mon 21 Jan 2013, 14:03, closed)

You appear to have totally gotten QOTW all wrong by posting amusing stories.
You fucking cunt,

It's worse than that.

I get the taking the piss bit, too.

This pub you are asking me to imagine,
it's not a real pub is it?
It's creepy when you get metaphorical on us.

I've got nothing to share
just wanted to have a post here as everyone else seems to be doing so.
(ParaSitius is an Optimistic Pessimist, Mon 21 Jan 2013, 16:05, closed)

There are probably more posts here than the rest of the QOTW combined.

I like it when a post goes nuclear,
but it's just not the same without JMG flooding it with Steve Macdonald pictures (the token efforts, above, are just that).

This is great for racking up my "ignore" column.

Have one on the house.
