you newbie

Well, bugger me! I never knew that. Hm, better check out all these other ones too.

EDIT: Well, I never. I've now discovered that the little page that comes up that has all the emoticons listed, isn't just an aide-memoire for the codes - if you click the icon it transfers the code directly to you post. Nice.

Can't say anyone is doing much wrong. I did have a problem for a while much like Winja stated earlier, which I thought myself was unacceptable and a gross mis-use of control. Yes, sometime people will post things here on this site that may upset others. But the last time I checked the legislation, its called freedom of speech. This contry is by far way too concirned with being PC and individual rights, to the extent when others' rights, morals and responsibility has been forgotten or ignored. The fastest way to get me off this site is to also adopt a PC stratigy(sp). I'm weel known in my place of work as the one who challenges PC thinking, its great as it generally is a load of rubbish when I consider: why I work there, who I'm helping, logic and most importantly, common sense. :spudwave:

[Waylander]

Not attacking you or anything just that you're arguments about rights and such can go both ways. So we promote just the rights of the person posting the stuff and ignore the rights of the ones reading it? There really is no middle ground though the majority of us Mods constantly try to find it. As Frosty said, damned if we do damned if we dont.

I don't have a problem per se with the mods keeping things from going "too far" (worth bearing in mind that there are some young folk hang out here, too).

But i do think that maybe there should be a note made when it's done - just "Post moderated" or some such. Gets jolly confusing otherwise - in the ZINGing thread I thought at first I'd posted into the wrong thread , and part of my post made no sense because the posts it referred to were now gone.

[Ixion]

quoting the last post is usually deleted --the reason being quite simply because it all uses up space in the bosses puter-Hey Im no technogeek I dont know the right words.
..

There is sometimes a reason behind that though. Some folk, like me, take quite a while assembling a post - because I have to keep stopping through the process when pesky people want me to do werk - just cos I get paid for it, unreasonable ain't it.

So when I start a post I don't know whether it's going to end up directly after the post I'm responding to or not. While I'm putting it together , another half dozen quicker off the mark folk may get in ahead of me. And if I don't quote , it can end up with the post being unintelligable or confusing. (OK, more unintelligable and confusing than usual)

Which said , if it does end up immediately after the post it refers to, and the quote is long, I'll go back and edit it.

I totally agree, that if a moderater alters someones thread, then they should state it they have altered the thread. Then the person in question can then PM the moderator and find out the real reason why, if they are not happy with the changes.

THERES LOTS OF THINGS THAT WOULD BE FAIR AND NICE BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS IS SPANKMES HOUSE , ITS HIS RULES , HE CAN DO WHAT HE WANTS , HE CAN CLOSE ACCOUNTS , HE CAN CLOSE THE SITE , HE CAN CHANGE THE RULES THEN CHANGE THEM BACK , HE CAN APPLY DIFFERENT RULES TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE CAUSE WE ARE ALL GUESTS
