Fierce_LiNk Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Very interesting last day. Looks like we're not renewing the Falcao deal and I'm glad to see him go, tbh. Complete waste of time. Seems like a nice enough guy, but it just hasn't worked out. Not too fussed about our game, although I'm sad that Newcastle stay up and Hull go down. Newcastle are just a shambles of a club. Shocked at that Liverpool scoreline. Think Rodgers will be sacked now, the future doesn't look particularly good for the club with key players going. There's a lot of work that needs doing there.

dazzybee Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 So glad. Hate Rodgers so much, from that embarassing documentary, him claiming possession was some sort of victory, to him saying Spurs should've been challenging for the title after spending 100m - YOU WERE SAYING, BRENDAN? To the world's most irritating one armed salute celebration and ultimately to him just not being very good but thinking he's incredible. I want him to stay though.

nekunando Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Eugh.. finished below Spurs The only positive I can really take from Liverpool's heavy defeat today is that it highlights to everyone involved with the club just how much needs to be done get it where it needs to be!

Not saying he will/would go there, but if Ancelotti did manage Liverpool, I think he'd be able to win them the league. Excellent manager. Back to Milan, maybe? PSG?

jayseven Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 because it is silly, unnecessary, and inefficient. Pointless. Futile. All these things are endeavors that we should as a species try to avoid.

bob Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 But that's his thing. You don't ask other members to stop writing in coloured text, even though that's pointless and inefficient? Given that he is one of the members of these forums who is constantly arguing with others, i don't think teaching him to swear is a particularly good idea.

jayseven Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I think that one man's silliness cannot be excused simply because other sillimen are allowed to continue in their own ways. Neither can I confirm or deny any activity relating to colour-coded user submissions. In any case, simply because a situation that falls under the remit has been overlooked does not therefore allow other similar situations to be equally overlooked. If a user wishes to align a specific colour to their messages then, while I believe it is futile, they are allowed to portray it as if it is part of their character, for it is an aesthetic and does not alter the message they portray. However, if they wish to spend their own time in self-censoring their messages, then they are breaching a different area of interest (for me). If you feel the need to censor your own message then you are falling into one of few finite categories. You may feel that swearing in public is bad, or you may be used to operating on forums where swearing is disallowed. I can't think of many more circumstances than that. If you feel that swearing is BAD then you shouldn't even allude to swearing, because the word 'fuck' alludes to a certain schema of intent/meaning, and the 'word' 'f**k' doesn't allude to anything OTHER than 'fuck', it merely relies on the recipient to have previously seen/heard the intended word. Which is a class of people formerly known as "adults". I believe that Wii is used to posting on forums where he has to censor his language. I believe that he has adjusted his general web behaviour to fit the strict parameters of this forum(s)(forii). I do not believe that he does it out of personal moral correctness. As such, I feel it is my duty to inform him that he has additional rights while posting within these forums. He can post freely without fear of retribution -- something that may have added to his behaviour in the first place; a fear that posting blatant swear words would lead to a banning. I also wish for him to understand that his opinion/beliefs are slightly diminished because the censoring is seen as childish, and that perhaps if he can find a way to write the cursewords in full or find a way to express his opinion without the need to swear at all his opinion may be taken more seriously. There are, as always, active contributors to all threads on n-e, but there are, also, threads that are read by external individuals who aren't members. They may take his opinion more seriously if they see that he is an adult who is able to swear without the permission of others. I also believe that the time taken to select a colour-response is far less than the time it takes to hold SHIFT and select the symbols required in self-censorship. In any case, I do believe that colour-messages are a different beast to censorship, and I would be happy to argue the difference elsewhere (we can pretend we're lords) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, I do believe that colour-messages are a different beast to censorship, and I would be happy to argue the difference elsewhere (we can pretend we're lords) This self censorship stems from a long, long time ago. There was a time I got a warning for swearing. It wasn't directed at anyone but ever since I substitute these in * $ 1 # @ 0 € instead. I've never forgotten that PM. The infraction was minor but I contested it which I've learnt is futile. The infraction wasn't from you but I did have correspondence with you privately regarding the matter. I said others do it and nothing happens, it was an absolutely ridiculous warning and still maintain so. This is part of what you wrote in a PM and I quote: "13) Swearing, and use of slurs about race or sexual orientation are prohibited. Slanderous, defamatory, obscene, indecent, lewd, pornographic, abusive, insulting, threatening, harassing or obnoxious comments and/or images are not tolerated, nor is making light of serious issues such as rape." I've a very long memory and ever since then I censor my swearing. The very fact that you're telling me not to censor and almost encouraging me to swear proves it was wrong that I got that warning in the first place. : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayseven Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 @Wii yes that was in 2012. The full extent of the infraction was your wording and 'flaming' of another person on these boards. What is morally right and fair, on these forums, is decided by the admins and moderators, and stated in the forum rules. Please note; 12) Attacking, harassing or "flaming" of others is not tolerated. Remain friendly and civil at all times. Be helpful when possible. Treat others the way you would like to be treated. 13) Swearing, and use of slurs about race or sexual orientation are prohibited. Slanderous, defamatory, obscene, indecent, lewd, pornographic, abusive, insulting, threatening, harassing or obnoxious comments and/or images are not tolerated, nor is making light of serious issues such as rape. Whilst these are not exhaustive lists, they do attempt to cover a range of potential instances of rule violations. Please note that we govern based upon the 'spirit of the law' - so arguing about semantics or other pedantry is irrelevant. Please take into account the following rules; 1) Use of the forums is a privilege, not a right. Forum administrators reserve the right to remove those that we do not want to be part of our community. 2) Instructions given by the moderator team are to be followed. You were given a temporary infraction after receiving a verbal warning for the way you were talking to others. As I said before, in the spirit of the forum rules (and coming from a mod) I believe you should swear properly because you look silly otherwise.
