Alas…the site is getting boring...


  • @ncscswitch:

    Please note that when you look at the main screen for the discussion boards it states that GD is for NON-POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS.

    I. General Rules

    1. All normal forum rules apply, in addition to anything listed here.

    2. The General Discussion (and Other Games) forum is for topics that are not Axis and Allies related.

    3. Fewer threads are better than many threads. If a thread is active and related to a particular topic, please do not create another thread on the same topic.

    4. Try to stay on topic. If a thread about a giant crab is started and the topic of the historical changes in earth’s gravity comes up in the dialogue, create another thread for discussion on earth’s gravity.

    5. Yanny reserves the right to add any rules to this set at his discretion.

    6. Any punitive matters will be handled at Yanny’s discretion.

    III. Political Debate

    1. Political Debate can get heated. As a general rule, debate should never get personal. Ad Hominum attacks will not be tolerated. The definition of an Ad Hominum attack is as follows: A comment intended to be derogatory toward a member of these forums. . If you think that you have been the target of an Ad Hominum attack, use the “Report to moderator” button.

    2. Provide links whenever possible. When linking to an article, do not post the full text of article, but leave the majority of the article for a reader to read on the linked page. This is a copyright issue.

    Can we get a little consistency, please?  :wink:
    And by that I mean, let us at least say how crappy politicians are.

    I think Jermo just owned you Switch. :wink:

    Well, he was right.  He just didn’t give a full answer.  :wink:

    I guess this means I have karma coming my way… :|


  • The reason PD got closed was it was to hard to moderate. I think we should have like 1 or two PD topics at a time. that way we can still have discussions but it can be easy to regulate. I think thats fair what do you think?


  • Or maybe a specific mod for the pd forums.


  • @M36:

    Or maybe a specific mod for the pd forums.

    We tried that, y’all did not like how I handled it :-P

    Oh and Jermo, the GD discussion rules pre-date the creation of PD, which originally included both but were split due to complaints by many site members who did not want to deal with the 90% political threads in GD.


  • @ncscswitch:

    I had no problem with it.  I also made a suggestion concerning options.

    I understand that.
    But excuse me if I find that a poor excuse - site members should avoid what they don’t want to see.  The internet is full of porn, but somehow I avoid it.


  • Not to criticize, only trying to give my contribution: why the site should be boring without Political Discussion.

    I am on this site for A&A and all that is related, and I am enjoying it very much!

    Naturally I think that Jermofoot is right, PD could be allowed, who do not want to read may avoid.

    But my points is: why being bored of the site for the lack of PD?

    you sure?  :wink:

    but Romulus that is a cool avatar/picture what is it?

    Thanks! He is Duke Fleed from a Japanese animated series UFO Robo Grendizer, created by Go Nagai.
    It is an old series, in Japan October 1975 – May 1976. Duke Feed was the only survivor of his planet destroyed by the forces of ruthless King Vega.
    He manages to steal the Grendizer, a war robot built by the force of King Vega, and run away, arriving on Earth. And then he fights for saving our world from the invasion force of King Vega.

    In the American version of Grendizer, Duke Fleed was called Orion Quest, while his human name was Johnny Bryant.

    In Italy I see it in the 1980-1982, when I wa sa child, and I like very much! In Italy the robot was called Goldrake and the Duke Fleed was called Actarus (That I believe is a very beautiful name!)

    I definitely came here with A&A on my mind.  I’ve even played a few games.  But the main reason I find it boring now is that my laptop (my main computer, i.e., the one I would game with) is a lemon that Toshiba has yet to own up to…going on 8 months now…
    I’ve honestly have had fun arguing here, and by far the most intense and enjoyable has been on the PD.

    Sure about what - avoiding porn, or the internet being full of it?

  • AVOID Porn?

    I thought that was the purpose of the Internet!


  • Im pretty sure that back when Al Gore invented the internet, he said its primary purpose was to find porn easier.


  • @M36:

    I am pretty sure you are right.  I mean back in the 80’s his wife was in the lead on that whole censorship/labeling of music thing, so Al had to come up with SOME way to get his fix despite what Tipper was trying to do with making our lives G rated  :evil:


  • Well, I never did like Al Gore that much, but his contribution of internet porn is by far one of the greatest contributions to mankind ever.

    If they get rid of the porn there would only be one website and it would be for an organization to bring back the porn.

    I stole that from Scrubs.

    We have all this technology and its primary purpose is to see naked people.

    its to mess kids up earlier.  old liberal ploy.

    even nickolodeon pressures kids to get on-line.  and the network is sure that kids will then see porn, b/c its impossible not to.  just type in sex to google.  and nickolodeon had kids get shot at their party last year.  damn liberals.
