Petition to the Toady One.
« on: October 10, 2009, 04:28:20 pm »

Can it be a bannable offense, or censored words, to name any country or religion. Because holy fuck, I'll give everyone here a blowjob if there is a single thread on either of those that isn't mindless bashing and flaming.

No no, it must be a bannable offense to verbally abuse another country or religion. I assume that's what you meant? It reads like you think it should be a bannablle offense to say the name of any country or religion.

EDIT: Oh, and the Australia thread seems to be going okayish.

...Right.  So we now won't be able to say our nationalities?  Man, such filters would make this like communist-somwhereville.

Like I said, insulting any country or religion should be dealt with harshly.

And it already is. I''m rather against filtering countries and religions. It all seems rather severe and would create work for the Toad.

I'd rather just keep the thread locking/deleting ways. It works for a while, plus toady has more to do then ban possible donators.

In my opinion dealing with the problem forcefully is the better solution. Not all donators post after all.

 I say just maintain an atmosphere of chill. We do not insult each other here nor their beliefs/nationalities. There should be a system where people can express their dissatisfaction towards countries/belief systems themselves and not the people under it. Such an understanding would cut down on a lot of the problem. We just need respect for eachother.

Yeah, we should be directing our anger at random inanimate objects and faceless organisations ("THEM!") rather than each other.

The only problem with all that is that everyone that has got on the bashing train doesn't see a diffrence.

I'm not quite sure what you all mean, or what the fuss is all about.

Most of the people who insult people for their religion or nationality are the sort of people who don't see the difference between the people of an organisation and the organisation itself.

I heartily condone the emplacement of a direct banning of the Country/Region bashing matter.

Thus, I sign this Petition.

The petition is actually the immediate banning of someone who utters a religion and/or countries name as far as I can tell, or the censoring of the name of a country and/or religion.

I think.

I haven't noticed this happening much personally.  I think this is an absolutely horrible idea.  It's basically thought policing.  I like the fact that I can post here without worrying that some easily offended moron might take my post as an insult and get me banned.

Some people are offended by the truth.
