Default where have the regulars gone...??

due to the strictness of late I have noticed a decline of regular 'banter' uses dissapearing...

I used to enjoy a bit of laugh/banter but seeing as that has been taken away and you are now liable for a ban just by typing "repost".. lately most posts seem boring or just posted by muppets

Purely out of interest, where have these users gone, likes of Phil Imma etc...

I recently got 8 points for calling someone "jumped up"... talk about getting pushed out LOL rediculous.

Yes. I, like most (or so I thought) often call cigarettes fags.
Guess someone complained I was having a dig at homosexuals, pretty sad really.

well as no doubt this is not what the admin would like to hear/read, this will be put in the sin bin or politics room.

Its not a knock at PF, just feedback, because if it continues to be as strict as it is, either a lot of users will use another popular board or they will all be banned LOL...

No doubt people wish I would just fuck off..

Yeah but 'the good old days' are exactly that, consigned to history. If you let go of the past and try to enjoy it for what it is now then you may get to like it again. This is still one of the best forums around.

Westy i couldn't give a rats ass who comes and goes BUT isnt it what u put in while ur on a site ? and does banter have to be nasty sniping at people to get a reaction from others or having a grin at anothers exspence and going to far ?

im not saying thats u but the was a lot of that to recently and it was putting a lot of user's off posting ! is that fair

it just seems either most cant just live and let live or need to have a stage for some reason

and that is imho not a mod by the rules post if u understand me

I'm still here, but I'm personally fed up with people whinging and trying to bring down the site (yes that includes you Westy). This place is what you make it, and a minority make it shit .

FYI Spadge decided the same thing and moved into BMWs to get away from the whingers.

As to moaning about the infractions being given out, this is down to YOU lot. We're not omnipotent, so the MAJORITY (95%) of the infractions are dished out due to the reporting system that alerts us to problems. Before this was in place, there were lots of posts / comments that slipped through the net, but because of the new system NOTHING gets through, and the only difference being, the mods now chose whether action is or isn't required from YOUR alerts.

Basically you're the police, the mods are the jury and Stu is the judge. If you think things are too strict, stop acting like cunts and giving people cause to report you. Treat people as you would want to be treated and the forum will be a much nicer place.

I understand there has to be certain rules put in place, but i personally dont understand why someone would complain about whats been typed on the internet or what theyve been called. What does it matter really? I dont give a crap what anyone says about me or what anyone thinks of me to be honest, whether its face to face or on an internet forum. Who gives a shit!

And C4llyT- you know you werent talking about cigarettes.

Perhaps people have gone because theres too many people bitching and moaning.

If you want 'serious discussion' and the muppet room is so far beneath you, then it shouldnt be hard to post within the rules.
