Abuse Discussion

[endless psych]

The majority of internet users do not join sites without any prior exploration or knowledge of them. Hence "lurkers".

Its rare for anyone to sign up for anything without at least a cursory knowledge of it - unless they are a spammer of course.

This place is full of talented, clever, cultured and interesting individuals. It also happens to house a couple of fannies

And there's a surprising amount of overlap there.

You're seriously, seriously over-reacting here. For the hundreth time, the joke about Gary Glitter wasn't meant in an offensive way, it was about the costume the boy was wearing in the picture - no one was twisting any knife into anyone.

[MarkMono]

There was no knife.

All this 'it's Forbes site so if you don't like it don't post' is pish as well - so we can't even have a discussion with Forbes about stuff like this.

TURN OFF THE PC IF YOU DON'T LIKE FORBES VIEW!!!!

Man there was much better abuse bing thrown about back in the day. See here for example. http://www.altnation.com/forums/cath...cing-dude.html

Actually I don't know as I've not seen the original thread. Has anyone saved a copy of it that they can PM me?

I've said in the past that Altnation as a forum is going nowhere in it's current state and is just a playground for a set of established regulars so slating new users that aren't going to improve the quality of the site isn't something I see as a big deal. Obviously the site owner isn't gonna agree with me on that though.

In fairness though surely banning JZY is cutting off your nose to spite your face. He's easily one of the funniets posters on here and is surely a bigger draw than some Gary Glitter looking loser. You've gotta protect the money players.

So sorry forbes for this bit....


Thecastrator is a complete and utter fud. The pish that comes out his mouth is painful on the eyes. That stuff about the adverts, if you dont like it fuck off and dont come back. Nae cunt likes you, not even your burd.

im with you on this 1 mate
the site belongs to and is run by Forbes, so his site his rules
anyone who doesn't like it then get tae fuck

and yes Thecastrator is a whalloper

[AWESOMEUS MAXIMUS]

Remember when Forbes unsuccessfully tried to remove Pete from Altnation forever?

This whole thing is besides the point.
His costume did look like Gary Glitter's, so fuck?

It really did. And I'm sorry he didn't find that funny, but no one was being malicious about it.

This is like if I threw a strop over folk taking the piss out of me for wearing that leopard print cowboy hat I used to have. Well don't put up pics of yourself in a leopard print cowboy hat if you're sensitive about it then

I'm sure the guy gets much harsher remarks about that outfit every time he steps outside wearing it. And they probably don't come with either.

The bottom line is, you can't moderate the entire internet with your own ideals, unless you are China.
