Why are the mods so uptight and deprived of a sense of humor

Magpie Mania.

I am not weighing into this debate you are having with Chris. However take this as a final warning on an issue I recieve countless complaints about. Keep typing in all caps lock and you will find yourself on moderator preview. It is annoying, hard on the eyes and complained about numerous times

Your not weighing into the debate but after writing in caps lock for over six months with not the slightest word you are now giving me this warning five minutes after my last post slightly coincidental wouldnt you say.Perhaps I can become an advisor to you moderators.

De modded myself a while ago only came back to it today.

I remember talking to you about it in a thread and stating how annoying it is months ago. Seeing a wall of Caps lock text reminded me hence the post.

On the upside your posts are now something which doesn't make people want to scroll over them to save their retinas some work.

But if you would prefer to call conspiracy in spite of this fact than I am not stopping you

Thats good. It now means they can read it without having to look at all caps posts.

We are lucky on this forum. Between the voice of the people and the man on the ground with links to the players. They should just take the club website offline now. It is redundant

Funnily enough your posts are not in caps now.

Maybe it is magic my young cracticus tibicen.

As for weighing in. One would assume any reasonable individual can see that this is quite seperate to any spat you are having with Chris. If you wish to carry on with that than that is your choice as it's not something I am involved in

anyone catch QI last night?

Godwin's Law:

Godwin's law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies or Godwin's law of Nazi Analogies)[1][2] is a humorous observation made by Mike Godwin in 1990 which has become an Internet adage. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."[3][2]
>
Godwin's law is often cited in online discussions as a deterrent against the use of arguments in the widespread reductio ad Hitlerum form. The rule does not make any statement about whether any particular reference or comparison to Adolf Hitler or the Nazis might be appropriate, but only asserts that the likelihood of such a reference or comparison arising increases as the discussion progresses. It is precisely because such a comparison or reference may sometimes be appropriate, Godwin has argued[4] that overuse of Nazi and Hitler comparisons should be avoided, because it robs the valid comparisons of their impact.
>
Although in one of its early forms Godwin's law referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions,[5] the law is now applied to any threaded online discussion: electronic mailing lists, message boards, chat rooms, and more recently blog comment threads, wiki talk pages, and social networking sites.

wow… Like kul asked... **if anyone has any ideas on what we can do to give the users here a better expirience, we are all ears. I, just like kul sincerely mean that.** we have put alot of work and time into this site and only want the best for every member.

Without weighing into the arguement too much, please keep in mind that we have a very active forum. While you might feel something isn't offensive, others may. This is something you need to respect ron. I am by all means a very easy going person and have very relaxed views on many things in life, but when push comes to shove, this is a community... In which it is much larger than me and my own personal beliefs, as it is yours.

We would love to keep everyone here happy and welcome... We want it to be a family friendly site, were people of all ages can enjoy.

If you find being apart of this community difficult, i am sorry, but we won't change the rules for one individual.

well said kaiser.

there is one certain forum that was closed down and being investigated because of the content in those forums.

i heard about a forum like that. I have never seen it though. I was told you need a password or something to see it. I was told that someone was pretending to be me on there.
