Although, when warm it tastes like badger piss.

Badger piss????? yave you tasted it?

You'd be surprised what I've tasted.

I'll save mArc the truoble:

Stop chatting.  This thread is for actual complaints.

I'd like to lodge a complaint regarding Fred acting in an illegally mod-like manner.

[Reply #205 on:]

Ben's avatar is racist.

[Reply #206 on:]

I demand an explanation for that.

[Reply #207 on:]

Explanation: It was a joke. Or was it?

Yeah, but what I said was funny. Were you complaining about me? because if not, it really shouldnt have been in the complaint thread.

[Reply #209 on:]

Not a complaint as such, but since the TEST and Music threads fill up so quickly nowadays, is there any chance of a return to the 30-page rule?

It was reduced to 20 because they were getting too big and started to get buggy. They were (one of) the cause(s) of the great off-topic crash.

[Reply #211 on:]

I know that because I originally suggested it.  However, lately we have had a few complaints regarding how fast these threads are moving.  Reinstating the 30-rule, will stop them moving so fast.

I think the cause wasn't just the level of spam, so I think it's "swings and roundabouts".  Just wanted to table the suggestion.   

Next person to complain will be directed to this post. 

[Reply #212 on:]

What about a 25 page rule or something if 30 pages is too big?

[Reply #213 on:]

Solution:

If they want the threads to stop going by so fast, they should stop posting crap and make sure what they're posting has a point.

[Reply #214 on:]

yeah for example, post at least 2 or 3 songs in music thread, because music thread just full of one song posts...

That's a totally unfounded accusation!

[Reply #216 on:]

Travis:  You're preaching to the converted here, there any many that should take your advice.

Margy: The Listening Thread is what it's for, I have tried many many times to expand the musical discussion, and everytime it's been totally futile.  We have discussed over and over about the validity of having it, and everytime we have good reasons. 

My suggestion to you (to further avoid any repeat of the Pot:Kettle:Black accusations you are sure to get if you comment on Spammers), is this:

Lead by example.

[Reply #217 on:]

Preach it Brotha Melllvar!

I also request that Marg stop trying to be a moderator.  You are not and the day you become one will be my last day at PEEL.  Half of the time, you don't know what you are talking about.  Let Moderators and Administrators handle things, not yourself.

[Reply #218 on:]

Listen to the pastry.

[Reply #219 on:]

I'd like to complain about these cupcakes which allegedly contain pastry. When I ask for a cupcake, I want nothing but cake, in a cup.

I have an idea to combat the page limit being reached so quickly. It involves banning test threads, and.. uh..

That will be all.

It's not just Marg, there are plenty of people that act that way, many much worse than her.

I didn't want to reply first time, but I think I should now. D_C, I'm not trying to be Moderator, but if you think so, prove your point by quoting my posts. You are posting once a month and i don't think you read all my posts. Since you're not quoting my posts, its just namecalling. I dont want to quote your words in chat because you just called me names instead of explaining your post. Please stop your bitching about me without any reason, or at least try to prove your point.
(P.s. I don't want any fight with you again,please don't start it.)

Just because I'm not constantly posting, doesn't mean I'm not reading posts.  I don't post only once a month.  I post when I feel there is something I can actually say rather than just spewing things out to up my post count.  I used to do that and I think it's stupid and I wish I hadn't. 

As for proof, I don't need to quote you because almost every post I seem to find of yours is showing me this. 

Tweek:  She's the only one I notice.  I'm not saying there aren't more, but she's the most predominant.

About test-threads: the "What are you listening to"-threads fill up faster than the test-threads. So logically, if we ban test-threads, those would have to go too.

[Reply #227 on:]

I created a monster with those, didn't I?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I guess this makes you the newest member of an exclusive group, so far the only other members are Just Chris and FYP.

I have no problem with that.

[Reply #230 on:]

i do have a problem with that. (and not only because i make about 50% of my posts in that thread  )

the problem is: through this thread, i've got to known a lot of cool bands (examples include shellac or tenacious d) and i think that's a pretty cool thing.
of course we could counter this by having serious discussion about musicians/bands or a thread with reviews of records we bought, but all these threads were already made and spammed with dumb comments.
i say: unless we come up with a better solution, we should keep these threads.

I completely agree.  I'm totally up for the idea of review and recommending bands/songs to fellow PEELers (and having a thread thereof) - however, there are always close-minded philistines who will post mush in it.

While the listening thread exists it is serving a good purpose.  I'm always up for expanding the discussion and suggesting new things, I have tried to do this.

[Reply #232 on:]

^Loki started a music review and discussion thread. I posted a review of an album I liked,  others tried discussing music in a semi-rational manner, but that was quickly glossed over by the inevitable what do you think is cuter?  Sum 41 or a basket full of puppies? type of posts and the thread faded into obscurity.

[Reply #233 on:]

On the "What are you ____" thing, I really prefer having a *real* "what are you ____" thread where people would just sum up their five things to say instead of clogging up the offtopic board with five threads and going on posting rampage.

One other thing (user names): The Penis jokes got old, and the Child Molester one just a bit later seems to be attracting flocks of others thinking it's funny. I disabled these two accounts. We do have young readers who might be put off joining in for getting these things wrong.

[Reply #234 on:]

But Juliet, Spice weasel, and a dozen others who curse all the time are kid-friendly.

Plus, there is iliketowankalot.

Futurama is a show for mature audiences, and contains sexual humor, about homosexuality (we are sure it's a woman this time, right? and There's only one kind of woman you'll attract with my body, Fry), rape (death by snu-snu!), penis size, and other naughty topics.

I had to register a new email account to register this name here.

And someone just told me there were a couple of big threads about masterbating and breasts and things like that.

[Reply #235 on:]

Which is exactly why we don't need more of it.

[Reply #236 on:]

Come now Marc, it seems quite hypocritical to watch such a mature-audience oriented show and run a message board about it where it's acceptable for Red5 to threaten to bludgeon people with his 20 inch cock, and for Wankalot and Juliet to talk about masturbation, to allow threads devoted to masturbation and discussion of erogenous body parts, and whatnot - and then to smack down a new account for milder offenses than that.

[Reply #237 on:]

The thing is, I don't remember one of the posts to be constructive. If they weren't full of sexual innuendo, they'd have been spamming the threads. I first saw Mr Penis and thought I'd wait to see what happened. Related or not, Child Molester signed on a few hours later. There's something like a quota regarding these things. Too much of it is degenerating. Just like I closed and merged all the anatomy threads when they started to clog and dominate off-topic.

I gotta stick up for Mr Penis, you gotta love penis(in a non gay way) he reminds me of a young me, in fact I had planned to retire and let Penis taker over as the new wanker but now I'm going to have to put off thoses plans for a few more years.

[Reply #239 on:]

i dont see what the big problem is, its just a name. If people are offended by the word penis well maybe there not ready to take a step out of there house.
