Addition to the rules?

Most unlike you to type this. Have you been dragged down already?

It's a left-wing conspiracy. Obviously.

It will never fly, without a right-wing conspiracy to go with it...

I'm sure Mr Ixion can dig up one of those easily enough.

I always keep a spare pair in my saddlebags. Left and right, in the appropriate bag.

On the flipside of threads being sent to PD, there are the threads that probably should be but are not.

eg. Mk II - Speak ONLY in song LYRICS.


Out of interest, these seem to be the most appropriate definitions:
pointless: serving no useful purpose; having no excuse for being
drivel: childish, silly, or meaningless talk or thinking


And why is the The firearm thread still sticky?

Read the first post in that thread, and join the dots, Sherlock.

So, my dear Watson, there was a popular thread on another site owned by SpankMe on the same topic. I still fail to understand why the thread is sticky.
If a thread is popular, it will keep it's place at the top of the page without it being sticky.

I wasn't trying to pick a fight, but I do appreciate your implication that I'm stupid.

Like the SV site, Kiwi Biker is also a Spankme-owned site. If He decides to have a gun porn thread and to make that a sticky, that is His decision. This is not a democracy.

[Slingshot]

This is not a democracy.

So the appropriate answer to my first question would have been along the lines of: "This is SpankMe's site, and it's SpankMe's thread so if SpankMe wants to make it sticky, then SpankMe will make it sticky."

And I'm well aware that this site is not a democracy, that's why I asked a simple question rather than demanding the post was unstickyed.

Clearly I need to be painfully explicit at times.

You probably wouldn't come across as a cock if you were more explicit, but then again...maybe not.

Thank you for your sage words of advice, Mr Kettle.

I've said it before and I'll say it again I have never seen a need for the mods to do anything but sit back and relax, have a cup of tea and watch the witty repartee and totally the leave the threads alone. Natural conversation will prevail, if people don't like a thread they'll leave it alone and go to another one and the first will die a natural death.

Why the need for any of this dicking around anyway? Off topic be damned, in whose eyes can peoples' comments be discarded so easily. If you treated someone like that face to face you'd probably get a smack in the face.

That's why Libertarianism is such a bad idea. People need to be controlled, and Limits established.

This thread is, unfortunately, turning into a perfect example of how something gets taken off topic.

Gubb makes a request -> some people explain -> thread turns into something else, ie one person pushing their own agenda instead of starting their own thread.

Haven't looked at those threads and don't intend to. There is nothing that says things have to be justified to Ixion. Explaining why a thread is moved to the thread originator is a courtesy that doesn't extend to the sites self appointed Policeman.

Mate, some of you mods just need to reply like I do sometimes when someone is asking aload of bollocks. "I dont give a fuck" usually works well. I see that the site members are on the rag again because the weather has been mint so no excuse this time for not being able to ride.
FFS PEOPLE, THIS IS THE INTERNET! WHO CARES???
