But you can't see the best part called ITN - in the news -

until you have a certain number of posts.

FMD.....why would I bother being involved in what is offered to newbies to get to something worth talking about.

Nah. It can do without me.

How come you never got anyone from there to enlist at the sewerage cemetery?

Never thought of it.
I hardly ever posted there except when I had technical problems with computers.
It was good way to get answers.

AUKUS nuclear submarine deal triggers accusations over cost and construction Roll Eyes

We can't afford those subs.
The whole idea is ridiculous.

Don't you have a conspiracy you can peddle somewhere else, Bobby? Australia can collectively afford these boats. It has been explained to you many times. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

"Winning" means you have to have some facts backing your argument. Appears that you don't, Bobby. Your banning will stay in place until you apologise and admit your error in assuming these boats will send us broke. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

It seems that I have upset a Moderator and are forbidden from using memes. So much for Freedom of Speech. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

What do you all think of this?

Possible the largest forum in Australia called Whirlpool is heavily moderated.

Example:

https://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/wp_rules#wp_pointlessposting

I am glad you posted this, Bobby. It is another website that I can bookmark to visit.

The rules are quite reasonable. There is no need to have posters posting pointlessly, to just to get their post count up. I think regular posters here at OzPol and PolAnimal do that for the sake of boasting their post count numbers.

It's all rebutted at the link I gave -

We are already over $1 trillion in debt.

We'll get only 8 subs for $368 billion.

Speaking of pointless posting, there is Brian and his repetitive memes of contempt for other posters. Particularly his yawning emojis and "tsk, tsk" responses. That would have you off the board at whirlpool, methinks.

Brian wouldn't last 5 posts there - a bit like Monk.

Unless you three made a conscientious effort to abide by the rules, none of you would last 5 posts there. Maybe if you were not to interact with each other, you would survive a lot longer.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

They don't tolerate the sorts of lies and baseless claims and conspiracies that are the backbone of everything you post Bobby. You would instantly lose access to their ITN section.

I don't think you want that sort of attention.

You'd be inviting people with the motivation and means to cancel this place because of the blatant racism you champion on here.

I had to take a break from there in 2017. I was banned for a short time not because of my posts, but the reactions I'd get from other people.

Turns out debunking the bullshit claims of others and triggering them into attacking you, creating a lot of work for the mods even though they didn't ever have to moderate my posts (unless I quote replied someone that they did have to mod) was enough for them to give me a break.

At least it was never death threats like here, but people would often get personal which would require the mods to step in.

People don't like their opinions being challenged by facts and reason, especially those who relied on conspiracies and lies to support a certain orange individual, they always lash out.

Seems the mods over there needed a safe space too.

But that was only temporary and I cooled off and let those nutters be over there.

Too bad they're not so lucky here.
