Eutychus, what do you mean?

Ok:Discussion about child porn (which was closed becasue of p2p discussion and IMHO some other people being silly).

Now when Trader opened a thread asking why the originial was closed(Link )
Sayeth Eutychus

Now, I don’t undrstand why I was supposedly the main factor in it. It was more Trader and other people than me. That’s bullshit saying that I should be the one on thin ice when I didn’t do anything wrong.

Yes i can be a bit silly - but my heart is in the right place. My chest.

Thing that pissed me off was point 2. P2P is not to be discussed.

So, it is ok to Discuss pederphilla and its popularity but not P2P

Pfftt … look my mind is a dangerous weapon, just let me leave it unload ok ?

paedophilia
Unloaded
Sorry - i am sleepy and need a nap

Smiley Death : Read the thread again. In the future I would suggest that any posts you make in a thread as potentially volitile as one on child porn be kept strictly to the subject matter at hand. Strictly. I also noted your comment in this thread. As you know, accusations of trollery are not to be brought to the board, but are to be brought to the attention of the moderators and administrators through e-mail.

trader_of_shots : Do a search. This had been discussed here ad infinitum ad adsurbum ad nauseum. You may not like our policy, but it is our policy. If you don’t like it please feel free to find another message board where your dangerous weapon can be unloaded in someone elses shooting gallery.

I can see how the could be breaking the rules a little bit, bt I don’t see why I’d be on thin ice.

night all.

Uh, because that’s what happens when you break rules?

SmileyDeath - Shiz man relax… so they ban me or they ban you … what’s the drama, it is their choice completely.

For me, i am not going to curve anything or hold my tongue anymore then i normally would.

I think its better to be true to yourself then get angry at other peoples intolerances :slight_smile:

Remember these mods have been here a lot longer then you or me and most likely have not have the social exposure that you or I have had.

Who knows, they may not work, they may not even be human - but they do know how to ban.

Minor infraction equal near ban?

I don’t think so.

I’m afraid to ask what your idea of “social exposure” is, but I think I can already say with certainty that mine indeed has been different.

Remember SmileyDeath, thou art mortal!

In fact you are correct. The mods are fairly sophisticated AI “sprites” designed to give the vBulletin based SDMB board a more “human” feel as moderators interacting with users as “people” with real life lives and discrete personalities rather than simply calling them ModSeries 2003 or BanBot V.2. I commend you for having to insight to ferret out this little known fact.

:: meep ::

Are they being left here as mice for the cats to play with? The mice and the cats all need to know.

Point of order. Moderators do not ban. Administrators ban.
(Of course, Administrators do tend to listen to the suggestions of Moderators who are stuck with the day-to-day task of cleaning up puddles of juvenile sophistry along with a host of other problems.)

I think he means…

Don’t make me stop the car…

…and come back there and smack the shit out of yas

Yeah, but when you constantly post OPs in the wrong forum so the mods need to move them (in other words, you’ve made them do lots o’ unnecessary work already), you tend to have your name remembered, so a little rule breaking gets more notice.

God, last night was truly a night to remember–I think Smiley and trader added about 100 posts each to their count.

Surreal.

You can talk about the ethics or problem of internet piracy, but not actually where to go and how to do it.

Ditto child porn/paedophilia.

It’s a fairly simple rule, designed to keep the board owners (Chigago Reader) out of trouble.

I just want someone to explain to me what fauxpas meant. Even his explanation confused me!

And then:

Does this mean something about masturbation and religion? If so, how is it funny? I don’t get it. I couldn’t ask in the old thread, since it’s closed.

Heloise, deconstructed babble is still babble, IMHO.
