How "Safe" Do You Feel On This Forum?

[Xander]

I think on the internet, as in real life thinking before you speak/post is kinda important, and if there's a chance it might get you banned, and you care about being here, don't do it. I often think a lot before I post cos I guess I'm a bit obsessive like with I am with most things, and if I think something might come across a bit offensive to someone I'll change it and just let it go. So yeah, I feel safe xD

People don't get banned for nothing.

You just have lower standards than the rest of us.

"You" as in "Devil Man"

or

"You" as in "Non-Staff" people?

If you have to ask you'll never know.

Thats the kind of answer i'd expect from someone so snobbish about their "perception" of art.

Or is it just too diffcult to answer directly instead of attempting, and failing, to be witty?

And Xander, point taken. Good point.

You know very well that's not an appropriate thing to say. And I like her, so be mean to her again and I'll personally beat you. ~Shlup

[The Mighty Sabotender]

I'm surprised that I haven't been banned already.

I really couldnt care less if I got banned. I just post what I feel like, which just happens to be ok in the eyes of the staff.

I think another thing is knowing when to stop. Too many people often to want to have the last word cos they feel like then they have won or something and I think thats when people get carried away and banned/thread closed etc. Its more difficult to give in. And if you get banned you won't be feeling so cocky XD

[Mirage]

I'll feel safe until I get a warning.

[Christmas]

The best thing is dun get anything started in the first thing.

[Chloe.]

[Rocket Edge]

You see, this is the thing I dont get. There is some 'sophisticated' flaming that goes on around here which people get away with, especially in EoEo which is no different to the way most regular people get banned.

Some people, when they get angry or annoyed because of personal attacks will respond with something like 'Oh my God, You smurfin' suck, I hope you die, go die in a river, thx, you suck!' and boom! They are gone. But look at some of the 'debates' in EoEo which is the exact same thing but using different vocabulary to insult the Posters. Saying stuff like 'I find your opinions bizarre and insulting, and I think you are ignorant and ill-informed' is pretty much the same thing as 'You're smurfin' st00pid!'. Yet it goes totally unpunished.

You see what I am saying? Double standards and showing the same rudeness.
