Jamba Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 @Shorty Web page forwarding seems to have stopped. However I'm still getting the occasional pop-up or back ground audio happening. I assume it's part of what going on with ad.yieldmanager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emasher Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Just happened to me again today. It only seems to happen when I log in, usually when I'm typing in my username or something like that. I'm using Firefox 8 for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 What’s the exact story behind the similarly styled signatures from the staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 What’s the exact story behind the similarly styled signatures from the staff? Knee is a big boy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Knee is a big boy now. Is that some cryptic way of saying N-E is 14 years old? Yeah, I got that, was just wondering if there was anything more about the signatures, the design of it (the letters that is), and the games featured on the background. Cube has Excite truck for example. Their favourite games perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 @Fresh designed them and they're just based around his design style de jour. He asked us if we have a particular news/review etc we've done and wanted to commemorate. I just had Yoshi because I like Yoshi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog-amoto Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 What does the +quote button do? When I press it, it just turns blue and goes minus? Always seen it there, never been curious enough to click...until now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It's for quoting several people at once. Click it on all the posts you want to quote in a thread and then click on the Post Reply button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesley Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Was my rape joke deleted? I'm confused to whether I posted it or not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yeah it was deleted, I never saw it, take it up with Mokong if you're miffed. You're using the word 'joke' rather liberally though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Incredible. You're right, it wasn't a joke. I was being serious. I was seriously suggesting a man should rape his daughter. Obviously. EDIT: Actually, fuck it. I'm acting like I have the right of free speech on this forum. It's a forum owned by some guy, so it's private and you guys can delete what you want I suppose. And so I'd rather not be apart of that. Edited February 15, 2012 by Wesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 From the rules 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. Those rules have been there for over four years. It is a shame if you feel that you can't, or do not wish to adhere to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 But people swear all the time? And people make rape jokes? The rape joke itself wasn't even based on a real event; so it's hardly making light of the issue of rape. Anyway, like I said, I'd prefer not to spend time here anymore. You're all pleasant, and this isn't an angry, "FU GUYZ!" thang or anything. Just... you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Obviously we're lenient on swearing, but the difference between prohibition and 'not tolerated' is supposed to be emphasised in the rule. I gotta say, there's no need to make a big deal out of this. It's not like we're exactly strong on the censorship around here. We're also not a machine, or a hive-mind, and it's up to admins and mods to make decisions at their discretion. I would imagine Mokong simply wasn't happy reading jokes that trivialise something so unpleasant, and hasn't noticed if it's been done in the past by others. He chose to nip it in the bud, rather than draw it out or give you an infraction or anything like that. I don't think there's any need for sulking/storming off, every online community has their rules. If you feel that you can't be a part of this forum anymore, it will be a shame to see you go.

Wesley Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Fair enough. Like I said, it's not a storming out type thing. I'll probably be back here later on; just not right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Huh, I'd completely forgotten that rule. Swearing and rape jokes are pretty common in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Would you like me to begin retroactively enforcing the rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Not at all. I am very happy that there's so much room for expression and humour. With the exception of abuse, harassment etc. I'm not actually a supporter of that kind of rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I have amended the rule a little. Video games can be played and enjoyed by kids of all ages, and we generally wanted to reflect a 'family friendly' environment.

Video games can be played and enjoyed by kids of all ages, and we generally wanted to reflect a 'family friendly' environment. Oh, I know. And I respect that. I was actually just commenting on the fact that I'd forgotten how strict the rules were compared to how leniently they're enforced. Again, I am very glad that things are this way.

Ashley Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 I don't think anyone actually reads the rules. Most people know generally what's (dis)allowed on a forum, and that it's down to the modmins. Other than when we do enforce it people moan.
