Why ban everyone who says something you don't like. The person that is offended by it should just read past that particular post and move on.
Free speech rules!

There will be enough banning when we get the internet filter.

It's the internet, people will troll you and they will say things to get people riled up.

If every little thing that offends you on the internet got banned, there'd be little left to read.

Ignore stupidity.

I really think bobbys idea of each thread being moderated by it's starter will eventually be how forums work in the future! Shocked

Thanks Death,
I should patent the idea.
I was the first person in the world to think of it.

Find a programmer and reach for the stars: it's a great idea that I'm sure is a technical nightmare but you know what they said: WHAT'S POSSIBLE IS DONE. WHATS IMPOSSIBLE WILL BE DONE!

Wink

IT'S A POWERFUL IDEA ALRIGHT: IMAGINE IT'S USABILITY AND,... IT WOULD ACTUALLY MAKE FORUMS WORTH VISITING MATE IT IS THAT GRAND OF AN IDEA!

"O DIVINE ART OF SUBTLETY"(The Art of War!!)

Then, now the world could actually bother with forums as the troll problem would be under complete control, democracy might flourish and what then...

Buddy, you owe the world this gift! Cheesy

Just don't forget to pay the rent Wink

Always plenty of programmers looking for projects to enhance their skills/cut their teeth btw! Cool

You can't patent something if you have already gone public with it.

NOT a new idea at all. At least not to me. But my discussion with M was more to do with the unsuitability of same. before this came up here. Why would ANYONE want to post to a thread run by, Matty, OR Batty ??

We all get annoyed and do a bit of name calling, never mind. But in the last few days the threads have turned toxic, and in particular the racist and bigoted banter. I don't know if people think it funny to stir up this kind of feeling but it is appalling and denigrates all of us on this form. I feel sick when i read some of the race hate and intolerance that claim to be Australian. You are all far from Australian and need to look deep within yourselves and consider are you using you anonymity to express opinions you would not argue face to face because you know how repugnant they are.

I notice that when freediver and tolerator have a discussion they dont call each other names but they both call me names or @ least try to insult me whenever they interact with me. Suspicious? SOB
