Not a Poll

Because

I want to know why....


But

What are your thoughts on only allowing ACTIVE players on the scoreboard to post in forums?

Definitely against it. Sometimes old time players come to say a hello, I find it nice, and it may be the prelude to a come back. Blocking them for posting is reducing the chance they come back.

I am against it.

Even though, at times when there are a series of posts that annoy me for whatever reason and I shake my head and wonder what the poster comes here for when they dont even play the game i still dont think it is necessary.

The main reason that thought crosses my mind is because I might be annoyed by that person, but in reality an active player could easily do the same thing.

So I think you would need a good reason to do it.

Agree with Donelladan's reason not to too.

Against it, for the old player coming back to say hi etc
Plus if they're only active in forum isn't that still positive activity generated ?

Hmm, not exactly subtle TeeGee. Is this about my dislike of Nazism?

Well, if you "assume", that kind of cuts both ways as the saying goes.

I think it's a fair question though. Being banned for using the word "gay" while letting other posters commerate Nazis seems like an odd moderating choice.

I'd like to hear TeeGee's take on the issues. Does this have anything to do with my thread opposing Nazism in the forums?

The site doesn't revolve around you, you pompously self-centered ass. Between the two of us, I'm by far the more famous anti-game forum dweller, yet even I am not so conceited as to think this idea is about getting rid of me. Seriously, if they wanted to be rid of either of us, they'd simply ban us, rather than coming up with some silly rule which is so very easily gotten around by PLAYING A SINGLE GAME. You're a moron.

Bollocks.

At least he is supporting your right to be an ass.

And thats not so much a thread as threads... and not so much "threads opposing Nazism" as "posts opposing Nazism" in threads not otherwise mentioning Nazism.

But yeah, that could have something to do with it.

However, it seems most respondents so far actually support your right to do this

(Actually here's a thought. On another site I used to frequent, you couldn't type the word "Nazi" in the forum.).

No need for the tantrum mate, nor the bizarre grandiosity. Simply posting "bollocks" won't get you to grow a pair, no matter how often you wish.

It's a tough one. If someone dresses up as a Nazi, and openly says that they're doing so because they like Nazi war criminals, should you be polite and not mention it? I'm genuinely of the opinion that celebrating the Nazis is sick.

It genuinely angers me. I don't think it should be forgotten.

I could be more polite- but when someone puts their name into a discussion supporting the SS, that, to me, says that the Holocaust is a matter of discussion.

It's weird for me that people can ignore the elephant(s) in the room while palling around.

Dude, I'd have picked up on the mistaken double reply first. It's almost as if you're not actually paying attention.

Why do I get the feeling that you find homosexuality indistinguishable from being annoying, and trolling?

When you find that they run together, you might have a problem.

Just, saying.

But yeah, get your priorities right.

Cheers, MG.

I do get worked up over the Nazi stuff, and I share your confusion about their sympathisers.

I really don't get the people who don't find it an issue.

That's well put. You've probably seen the quote in my sig. I'd rather speak out than play along.
