Richard's jest posts - Page 2

Scaly piscine · 04-07-2007, 04:33 AM

It became more of a thing when Richard would say something complete ridiculous or obviously wrong and then he'd use some line about it being a joke later on when we all knew he meant it.

All his posts are ****ing awful, but that's just my opinon.

No, you just thought I meant it. Believe it or not, I know better than you what I mean and what I don't.

I choose not to believe this.

Haha, so how many of my posts do you tend to read then? Can barely once recall our paths crossing, myself.

Ignoring your vendetta....

I can confirm that a few people around CW share that view.

If it was someone else who did it, rather than Richard, this thread wouldn't exist, simple as.

The bigger issue here is that people are systematically having a go at him all the time, which makes CW a worse place to be. I understand that he can push a nose out of joint here and there, but some the criticism he cops is completely unnecessary. In my opinion.

That's completely un-called for, and is hardly the sort of comment you should be making to any member on the site. I bet you wouldn't like it if another member said that about yourself.

You've been warned in the past about your forum behaviour so I would suggest we don't have to have to step in, in regard to a post of yours again.

I'm well aware they do:

They're all wrong, however.

Or worse, people can think you're being 100% serious. That's something that needs to be avoided at all costs.

And that's absolute bull****, frankly.

That's untrue, there's about a hundred of us who say it to him constantly.

Perhaps, but even so, it isn't appropriate.

On a slightly unrealted note is swearing in general okay now in the forums? Because clearly ever page has tonnes of swearing in it and nothing is happening with it??

Do we have the new mods so the matters can be ignored or what?

dontcloseyoureyes · 04-07-2007, 06:03 AM

The rules were stated a while back as though as long as you don't try to avoid the filter, and don't directly abuse anyone, then it's okay. If swearing's not allowed and there's a filter, it defeats the purpose.

In the past i personally have been given a warning for swearing and i don't see that happening anymore and its freaking ridiculous.
