Is this still classed as a family site?

As already said, Zefan solely said the reason for his banning was due to the sig. If you're calling me a liar, then you're calling him too. I didn't just make it up for the sake of it.

Would Basmic's sig be allowed now?

Plus other warnings, it even says it in that thread he linked.

Asked to remove the sig, to which he did, then made numerous (two threads) about it complaining.

That's what I got from it.

Perhaps you should read the link I posted again, Zefan did not solely say the reason for his banning was down to a signature.
I'm not calling you a liar, I'm confused as to why you've posted something so factually inaccurate.
 
To be fair to the mods they are keeping a pretty close eye on the Babes thread, ive already seen a few pictures that have been deleted, i dont think theres anything there so far that you wouldnt see on a tv ad in the middle of the day (apart from some of those cam whore style photos, which are full of frighteningly ugly women).

Annoying theres no male equivelent though.

Make a male equivalent then....If its not allowed it'll be removed surely.
 
This thread is really quite long for something that didn't even need to be posted in the first place.

I assume the majority verdict on this issue is that we would all hit it?
 
There's a boatload of posts been removed from the babe thread. Lots and lots. There's been suspensions too for explicit images.

This forum is a family friendly forum, and if anyone has a problem seeing people in their pants they should really take a long, hard look at themselves.

This kind of question should be directed at the mod team via email.
 
i wouldn't of thought many kids would be interested in overclocking anyway? i certainly wouldn't have bothered visiting the forums if it hadn't been for buying some bits from ocuk and trying to OC my pc.

define kids?

i know theres a few 13/14 year olds on here, who are intrested in PC's and therefore arrived here.

We could have an ugly women thread to make people feel better

get it organised! :D

If people think that kids of 13/14 aren't already looking at all sorts of porn online then they are living in some sort of fantasy land. The stuff int he babe thread is ultra tame, you could probably argue half of it is art / modeling.
 
I think there is some inconsistancy on this forum but the majority stick to the rules and on the whole it is a "safe" forum.
 
I don't really agree with the "babe" thread, but mainly because I don't see the point of it. It isn't anything new for ocuk, in fact I think that the forums have become quite a bit less smutty over the last couple of years. There has been mention of Feeks birthday recently and the album of photos that he posted is from 2005 - only one of those photos was deemed too explicit for the forums.

I certainly haven't noticed any difference in the tone of the forums in the last couple of months since the OP has joined though. It just sounds like she has been talking to the banned members who seem to still be obesessed with this place.

Ah, you just can't leave this place behind though you see....it's that addictive...obviously :p

It is a tad pointless though, then again most threads in GD are :)
 
My theory on the babe thread and general relaxation of rules of what you can post i.e. daytime tv suitable, is it is a measure to stop people drifting away from this site and onto competitors sites, given the econimc climate. Just a theory, will probably get shot down in flames. Its what I'd do though.

Please stay here and buy stuff, Spie has to eat.

Sounds like a very plausible theory. Shot down in flames, never, something worse, thread closed and deleted.

I know that I'm old and my standards for this sort of forum are at odds with many but I really don't see any logic in saying "it's the internet"; the vast majority of the internet is full of porn, bad manners, racism etc etc but there is absolutely NO reason to bring it here and then say 'don't click if you don't like it' ....... the opposite should be the case ... ie if you want that sort of **** there are any number of places that will cater for you; but while here, act in a civilised, adult manner.

Spurious arguments trying to justify posting **** 'for a laugh' or that kids know all about this stuff anyway, do not hold up; You wouldn't talk about these things (anal sex etc) in a family gathering so why do it here except to show how clever you are in front of the kiddies?

I am not a prude and much of this stuff does not offend me personally; I do swear and I like a drink too but I can go elsewhere to view dodgy pics/videos, have a laugh with my mates and buy the occasional gallon of ale .... I don't want to join in with the schoolboy lavatorial humour or smart arsed (and usually very old) repartee that consists of just bad taste and no intellectual (witty) content.

People will always push the boundaries but I'm afraid that I wouldn't want my children reading some of the posts on here.

As I pointed out earlier, Spie's said his bit on the matter and people should take note of that.
 
Whens'a your Dolmio day?

The rules are not lilely to change any time soon so you'll just have to get used to it.
