Hmmm.

You are standing on the pavement at Oriental Bay.

You turn to the guy next to you,and say,"Fuck,it's windy today."

Why does he assume that you mean it's windy in Oriental Bay?

Weird.

Perhaps if YOU don't like it, you could ask me to leave.

Incorrect and fairly crap analogy.

I have seen the type of behaviour I mention on other boards. If somebody takes it to mean that I mean AF, then they're all the more foolish for it.

Please don't try and think your clever, most of us have been around forums longer than have probobly had internet access.


Iv seen many forums come and go, all have been dictatorships of some form or another, all have been aurthoratian and all have had members who tried in some form or another to rebel against it.

Some are just out right thick, easy to spot and quickly delt with. Others are more subtle, being indirect and often skirting around the issue useing only vauge refernces, and others have even succeded in becoming admins on the forum, leading it to a complete and total collapse.

But all have one thing in common, they are insecure attention seekers and thier behaviour is always destructive to the comunity spirit that forums need to survive.


The very nature of forums require a dictorial approach from the admin and very strict and heavily enforced set of rules for the members.

If you believe otherwise then please start your own forum and prove otherwise.


But don't become one of those people who feels a need to rebel against a system that dosn't need it. You will not win.

As you wish. Any transgressions by moderators will now be taken through any official channels.

[taranaki]

We are the official channels.Get over it,or go away.

[zebrathree]

It's been sorted. Please leave it alone.
