Spade said: Will you ever tell your kid, "Dear, don't forget to wipe your a** after you take a dump." I would advice every parent to tell that to their young child. You just made this personal. I tried very hard to put this thread up not as @yoyoyoyoyo vs Spade, but your above post just turned it into one. So now I will reply as per your tone. What exactly offended you in the post? Use of the word 'arse'?, if so than its you who is less mature then 10-12 yr old. Arse or ass (buttocks) is english word and a part of the body and is taught to children as well. Neither was the use of it offensive nor the context in which it was used derogatory. You say I have taken my humour far: Kindly provide examples and don't just talk in air; I would be really interested to see what is too far in your opinion. I know its personal for you, because in the same time, elsewhere in the forum (not OFF-Topic) I can show you example of much worse usage, and you have not even lifted your fingernail. Just because you don't get my brand of humour, does not mean its not right. You may not understand the context behind it or just perhaps you put value on different brand of humour, perhaps slapstick is more of your cup of tea. BUT that gives you no right to set the threshold or the limit of how the humour should be laid down. Every person is different. Respect that. As long as no one is harming the spirit of the forum as per the rules, which I don't believe I was, it shouldn't matter how a person uses his/her words. You are guilty of excessive moral policing, and are having a difficult time admitting to it. You are a fiscal, and you have powers, but don't get to set moral guidelines for everyone. We all are educated people here and can think for ourselves. As per the @'s role. I have tremendous respect and admiration for those who do this job. I have seen many @'s come and go with their own brand of censorship, but no one was guilty of unnecessary moral policing. I have been pulled up before, and at one occasion i did realize the folly and made sure it did not happen. But so far you still have not been able to point out what exactly was offensive. If you feel there is too much crap (your words) and you can't be bothered with your fingers, perhaps its time to retrospect and step backwards from being a @. My PL mates are very active and few are @'s, who I truly applaud for giving guidance to many in the forum while also trolling time to time. As for the trolling part, not all trolling is bad, or else all memes and witty remarks would be outlawed in every forum on internet. Trolling is a way to express yourself... its reality and its here to stay. except it. What it shouldn't do is harm the conversation from deviating. or moving forward. Since you probably haven't checked, I am usually very careful on how i comment, If i want to use humour, I might answer the question directly in a funny/sarcastic (my brand, perhaps not yours) way or AFTER the main question IS answered. Trolls are of every kind, some who are just offensive and disruptive, some who add the conversation. Your job is to determine that, not put all in one basket you call URU. So don't moral police on what YOU like don't say around children, this is not a community from where you stay, but rather a global one. Understanding sensibilities and having a birds eye view is the level of maturity most @'s have or need it on a internet forum, regardless of whether it is Striker Manager or any other. No man, ar*e isn't defined in the oxford, I hope you bought the correct one. I will keep on censoring that one and anything like it, doesn't matter, I take it now as an addition to my daily lookouts. It doesn't seem to me you really know what goes on behind, appreciating is one thing and co-operating is another, the latter just went flying out of the window when you made this post (which I have to tell you is in the wrong forum). It isn't personal, anyone who begins reading this thread knows who started it all, it's my patience towards looking at threads going off-topic which has simply exhausted. Yes you know right and you know all, someone who has no clues of how many pointless threads I delete in the forums has just claimed to know it all. Well why not, I never mention what/why I delete/edit unnecessary things. The moral policing thing? Those are forum rules just like every other forums outside do. You and I have to live by them, and same with everyone. If I can stop some random user from hijacking a thread, nothing tells me not to stop you from doing the same thing. The final verdict is you and anyone who wants to, to take these dirty trolling tricks to the off-topic or as it already is known to everyone, I am free to ban anyone who does this. I won't be asked to step down for such minor issues, not a single question would be asked, because I did the right thing, I did what the rules have asked me to. I am not stepping down any time soon either, because nothing as of yet has gone wrong from my side. Thanks for telling me that you do contribute in a positive way, I might have overlooked them or they just don't appear on my screen. I have said enough, I am going to censor any form of abuse/sexual content, edit things that don't follow the guidelines, and drop my hammer as and when it is required for me to. End of my story. I have tons of sh*t to do rather than get involved in such petty bust-ups. Who cares? |

Oyewale said: In summary; major points so far, Excessive moral policing. Lack of or inadequate or poor moderation. >reply??? Nothing. Moral policing is a result of users' lack of awareness about the rules. If I were to stop editing unnecessary posts right now, we'd be looking at ourselves ridiculing that user(that is how we now want to have fun, times have changed). |

I have tons of sh*t to do rather than get involved in such petty bust-ups. Who cares? Cheers to your myopic view. So we cant say 'arse'.... but you can say 'crap' and 'shit'. Great rules!!! Don't pass judgements when you can't handle a little criticism yourself. P.S. Arse... is the British word for Ass and yes it is in Oxford Dictionary. I would have linked it here, but then it would have given you just another reason to throw your ego boosting self written lawbook at me. It's alright, they might teach you the word in the next grade at school. (now thats classic trolling; also taking the conversation forward) P.S.S. Yes its the correct forum, I had a doubt about your ability (confirmed) and question to the players about how the grey area can be clarified for both @'s and managers so misunderstandings can be avoided. Do yourself a favour and close the thread now. Cheers. Edited by Spade 22-08-2015 20:34 |

Spade said: Whatever....... No problem, I'll do one- http://grammarist.com/usage/arse-ass/ Crap and shit = Not considered vulgar in any part of the world. Ar*e = basic vulgar slang. Anything on or above basic vulgarity needs censoring. This btw should go in the general, there was never a doubt in your mind but a rant and probably something mixed in it you needed to spit out. Now you need a little help realizing who made personal attacks. If you have any further "doubts", appear in my inbox with a short message and wait for my reply. Have fun trolling in the off-topic. I'll still ban another off-topic troll on these three forums. Edited today: I will not be closing pointless threads anymore, but from now on when I receive reports of flooding messages and other trolling habits of people, the punishment gets tougher from my side.
