Ban Them

Posted

Every now and again we get a call for a particular person/topic/viewpoint to be banned from the board.

What's your personal favourite? it could be something that you strongly agree/disagree with or something that just winds you up or makes you laugh when you see it.

Here's my starter ranting_1.gif

Don't mind the capitols but the spelling of some of our friends on this website is abysmal, plus...now here we go..silly tit for tat threads with our lady members..just can't get it round my head just what the hell your talking about, obviously a lot of the people on this website know each other and the answers to questions become very silly and have nothing to with the original post ranting_1.gif:lol:

Bad spelling indeed?

"Just what the hell YOUR talking about" ? "Kettle and Pot" there my friend. Ever thought of getting a former teacher like "Sam" to check your drafts? Only joking. :huh:

Sorry mate...you have lost me on that one..are you getting me mixed up with someone else?

Always loathed with a passion any post, that asks what annoys you most about other posts/posters......... ranting_1.gif:huh::lol:

Edited by Brett

Problem with your homonyms BIGSOULMAN.

You used the word 'YOUR' which is the possessive of the pronoun 'YOU'

What you should have used is "YOU'RE" which is a contraction of the phrase YOU ARE.

A very common mistake but one which is less forgivable when it occurs in a post where the originator is complaining about other people's use of English.

You know what I hate, ex teachers who come over all snotty whenever given the opportunity to correct people. That said every time I pick someone up I'm p*ssed so always end up full of mistakes too. Think that's one for my hate list. That and people who correct other people's English ranting_1.gif

Point taken Andy...six of the strap for me!, getting back to Sam being a teacher, do you think he gave out 100 lines for not having the right matrix number on the run out ranting_1.gif

Godz this is not a dig at you. :huh: just pointing out that there may be a reason why.

I know of one person on this site that has had a major problem with reading & writing, we dont know people`s backgrounds or upbringing & they could be put off from joining in.

We all make mistakes when we are posting/replying due to emotions, distractions ect ect.

oops - fair enough Gav. I wouldn't dream of having a go at anyone who was genuinely dyslexic or had never learned to write properly. It was just meant to be gentle fun.

Let's concentrate on those who refuse to use lower case then :huh:

Amen brother. :huh:

the banning of viewpoints/topics/persons?-does this not show deeply-held intolerance, on the part of those who desire that someone be banned?..or , at least, that they take things a little TOO seriously....anyway, how could you ban the Topics-they did some good songs!!!

"the banning of viewpoints/topics/persons?-does this not show deeply-held intolerance"

No, its just funny. Like banning people with under 10 posts.

I OPE YOO DONT MEEN ME :huh:

If all bad spellers will be banned I fear it will become very few left on here! whistling.gif I have noticed that few seem to spell definitely properly, you always see definately, definatly defineatly, defanitly, etc. There are a few other 'key words' that few seem to get right, but this is one that I have noticed to be misspelled particularly often. I do agree that people who for some odd reason constantly have their caps lock key on be banned though, ban them now! :huh:

Something that winds me up? People not putting their names at the bottom of posts, just think it's polite to do so.

I couldn't agree more, too many clowns hiding behind stupid false names, some won't even put their name forward when confronted, very bad IMO.

If i was Mike, i'd ban Christian..............because he definitely hasn't done me a tape/Cd yet.....after nearly one year. :rolleyes:

Plus the fellow spells his name all in lower case....oh dear....

I know people read a thread and feel compelled to add their take on it quite quickly and the inbuilt spell checker here maybe a little touch and go if you are not a pc whizz. What could be an idea if you are replying to a post, or starting a new topic, is to write and spell check it in Word or sim (first) at your leisure. Then cut and paste it to the forum.

or of course learn to spell in the first place ..... spelling mistakes aren't important really if they are few and far between and honest mistakes ...

personally i find some peoples opinions more offensive than how they spell them

Davie

To me this thread began very tongue in cheek like many of Godz posts. It now looks like it has got out of control with many taking it very serious.

Personally I would ban all members who lets things get out of control and take it too serious. :rolleyes:

Shane

Why ban anyone? I quite like it when people start getting a bit steamed up. Without a bit of argy-bargy and a few strongly-held opinions it would become a PC-riddled Stepford Wives-type site

Let's have more abuse, not less

Yeah true. Although, would you ban them, really? Seriously though if you don't don't attach some seriousness to your spelling and continually post with howlers all over the place, the net result is, you end up looking a bit of a dick.

Actually having said I'd ban no-one I would ban Kev Bexter Roberts on grounds of ongoing smugness and self-promotion. If I've heard once how you're the world's best promoter and your events are the best there have ever been I've heard it a million times

Why not give it a fucking rest?

Ban the ban, but introduce exile - a kind of cyber "Elba" if you like. Can exile island please be somewhere warm and exotic please, and nowhere near Stoke ?

I will volunteer to be one of the first to behave badly so I can be sent away for a free holiday :lol::lol:

And good on 'im, he's right, there's no future in being too serious :lol:

:rolleyes::lol:

I'm all for having a battle "Royale" (Christian I've spelt Royal in the Northern Sheffield dialect) involving all warring factions, suggest we use a venue that is "Best" attended, then proceed to cut each other into ribbons, a bit like those early 70's Women's Guild meetings that I seem to remember from reading crap magazines in the Doctors surgery. Choice of weapons would need to be decided on, but as usual I will be choosing my trusty "Australian Dog Whip" the one armed with 8 power points. The Scottish members may need to be divided early on as they will probably all kill each other at the home coach station !

Lagerlout would need to be sealed in an iron cage, otherwise he would be to ungodly for us all, Janine would need her tongue stapling to her top lip as that weapon would be the most formidable on show, lastly Pete- S and Bexter would be used as hors doeuvres, just to please all and sundry.

Brett

:lol: EXCELLENT BRETT, MAY I SUGGEST WE ALL START POSTIN' IN CAPITALS AND IN OUR OWN LOCAL DIALECT.......RECKUN' THAT SHOULD CONFUSE A FEW :rolleyes:

I think the ability to spell is irrelevant to the content of the posts. I would like to think that SS members can look beyond spelling, punctuation and grammar. After all, none of would want to feel responsible for people being scared to post, for fear of being pulled up for their spelling.

As Shane said, it was meant to be a light hearted post, hopefully it will stay that way :rolleyes:

Brian? I thought you were Col? :rolleyes:

The people I'm really referring to by the way, are the ones who hide behind their secret identity to post derogatory, or inflamatory (Sh*t, now I'm worried if I'm gonna be pilloried if I spelt inflammatory incorrectly) remarks.
