Iron Zombius, please stop posting shit that I can find myself on www.news.com.au

[Sydo]

That is all.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I do like that it can sometimes stimulate discussion.

 

[Iron Zombius]

That is all.

well, go read it then and come back with something to say...

 

[Stonewall]

I don't see how posting a thread complaining about it is any less annoying.

I think posting news items that interest is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, provided the starter of the thread also starts off the discussion. rather than just the article itself.

 

[Shannow]

Agrees with Stonewall

 

[Sydo]

Fair enough.. I think I'm just getting old and grumpy.
Sorry dudes. So how 'bout those Knicks, huh?

 

[Iron Zombius]

The whole point of the article posts is to promote discussion, be it that they are human intrest, political or any other form of article that is posted. It gives a reference point for people to start a discussion on a level playing field so to speak. If people choose to go off and read further information and research further, they are free to do so. If not, they dont.

This forum is a public forum, where by no one has there posts screened by a moderator to ensure that they suitable for posting, therefore anyone has the chance to post, reply and comment on whatever topic they see fit.

If someone does not like the content of a said post, be it mine, Spiff, Winmar, goreripper or anyone else they have the choice to either read it and say nothing, or ignore it totally. I personally choose not to comment on a topic if it does not intrest me, or I dont feel I know enough about the subject to make an informed and objective comment.

Would the same request to stop posting be made to Brian if he continually posted about CD's for sale for example, or Sprouse Goose posting topics about the upcomming NRL season? Somehow, I think not.

I will continue to use this forum in the same way I have been. This is Maiden Downunder, not "The World according to certain members" If you dont like something....dont read it.

 

[Goreripper]

WB Sydo.

 

[Spiff]

I was getting a bit annoyed with the posts as well to be honest. I just ignore them now.

Maybe you can start a new thread where everyone can just talk about news stories, and one can post links (yes, links - not just copying the article without attribution). You know, like the YouTube one. I dunno.

 

[Spiff]

Oh, and when there's a discussion about NRL or Australian Idol or Big Brother (the latter two of which we won't be seeing again) they're single threads which go for multiple pages.

I like what you're trying to do, Zomb-Zomb, I just think the execution could be better.

 

[Mark]

I thought the subjects were a bit weird to be posting, but fuck at least someone was creating new threads. I think Mr Zombius should continue as he has been.

 

[Bucko]

same here .....

Fuck, wish I realised that sooner.

So how about them Knicks eh?

Although it should be noted that should anyone post anything inappropriate here (which I consider basically anything where kids are exploited; you know, the nasty shit) they can and will be deleted. But IZ is right, generally this forum is moderator-free.

Who made you the fucking boss?? :Smug:

 

[KoichCPA]

Iron Zombius is like the iron lung here.

Blitzy is a staph infection.

Spiff is a nurse who offers happy endings for catheter insertions.

 

[Spiff]

Sounds like I got off lightly!
