I'm suggesting a place where moderators have no banning/infracting rights, but can still delete spam.

Somewhere, where we can actually swear... and get away with stuff which we can't in other boards.

The moderators can remove spam, and merge posts etc.

This board will be for the older users of otland...
 
I think that it may be good idea, as Hydepark but without post counting and only for chit-chat like threads (otherwise, everything will move to hydepark).

About infractions for swearing. I think they apply only, when whole post is just swearing, without any useful message, or it hits someone particular (or a group of people).

Our rules aren't just created because someone thought they should be, they are the same rules you should follow when you talk with people face to face.
 
@Stian: Not everyone likes to emo nerd ethug forums...I went to 4chan ONCE and left in 2 mins...never been back, no plans either...

5 ppl who said no...aren't old enough to swear yet, sad =(
 
I haven't read the previous post but what you guys want is a board where you can use a offensive language, what for? What if someone try to make a polite post that make sences in that board, maybe he'll get jumped by everyone?

I would never do this if this was my forum.

That's the whole purpose of the suggestion... huh :rolleyes:. To be in a place where you don't have to fear about swearing, But at the same time you can be polite or what ever you want to be, that's up to you... There would be no "U NED TO INSULT TO POST IN THIS SEKTION", it's just a rule-less spot where you can swear freely.

If you don't like it you could simply use any of the other boards.

#Thread
Needless to say, I'm in... total love with the suggestion.

Swearing is okay, as long as you don't insult anyone.

"and get way with stuff which we can't in other boards"
racism, pr0n, ebay, insult, torrents, cracked software, ? be more specific! Voted yes btw
 
Well, they want piracy and stuff I guess since we obiously allow swearing (all moderators that have posted say so). I don't see the point having a moderated spam board?

Nope, at least I don't.

Not... I can recall some cases from the past years/months where users got infractions for swearing and so on.

I don't see the point of living, do you? Whats the point that brought us all here... why do we all keep living if we're going to die someday. Whats the point of x, whats the point of Y... if you keep trying to find the point of everything it will lead you nowhere. We just have to let things flow.

I sign this idea to 100%, im pretty afraid of swearing here on otland, so always when you see me swearing, i always got this bad character (*) i hate when i have to type that..

Agree with you.
 
I was a legend on the AnandTech forums back in the day...

Anyways, AnandTech's OffTopic board was off the hook and indeed very !@%$ing awesome. However, is there enough mature adolescents and well adjusted adults present here to warrant this?

also->

4chan... my god, if you're going to add to the cancer at least warn people to use a memory-spaced sandbox cacheless browser to view it? Lest you end up technically harboring child porn in your machine if you happen to stay long enough and manage to get past the second page?
 
No, such kind of a board will not be added. Swearing will not be allowed here. Not even on a separate board. Thread closed.
