Poll: Should links to Twitter / X be banned on Overclockers?

[Azza]

With (frankly) idiotic posts like the above I’m amazed that the mods actually bother to volunteer their spare time to keep the forum not only going but civil.
I mean out of all the things to spend your free time on, just imagine trawling through the dross on SC when it comes to election time (where ever it may be).
Whatever happened to being appreciative?

I genuinely laughed out loud at that comment, given the dross you post from Twitter on here.

Feek edited a post which removed key context about 70 posts in. A gaggle of right-leaning mods missed the context and couldn't understand why Hero Elon was being discussed. Accusations of me being an idiot went wild. Conjecture that Feek thought it was a typo because why would anyone dislike Elon. Nazi salutes. Reddit is not a forum. OCUK is not a shop.

Legend cheers.

Only if all the other social media "sources" are blocked too.

Just to repeat and add to this.

If you're going to ban one social media platform then in fairness they all should be banned.

I think OCUK will be on the wrong side of history of this one. I'll drop back in to say "told you so!".

Ah, so you actually want Twitter to be owned by a Nazi just so you can stick it to everyone that disagrees with you banning a single social media source. Glad we finally got there.

Lol

Lmao even

History is, and always has been, written by the victors. Expect no less from this particular sociopolitical minutia.

Remember when the world tried to boycott X before and everyone reckoned x would be dead in months.

Are we trying that again? Second attempt might be successful.

Its not dead though, its very busy, dont you believe suppressed thought is a bad idea and leads to bad things happening?

 

[Minusorange]

But if you don't report them, how will we know?

As I said I'm not a snitch, if everybody reports everybody for every minor infraction imagine how much work you would all have to do, it's life people say things I don't like, I move on unless it's injustice like I am seeing

I’ve deleted a couple of posts that are skirting into using offensive language / contain character attacks.

And clearly you do know, you've just chosen to hand a mere deletion of offensive posts rather than give jail time

Don't get me wrong I don't have axe to grind or anything against you guys/girls/X as moderators, I just want to see equal treatment and equal punishment and a bit less trying to steer discussion in certain directions, although maybe this thread proves some control is needed

Honestly a bit confused about this thread now. Isn’t this question being asked exactly because of Musk's ownership of it and his recent behaviour? However, it seems discussion about Musk is not allowed/discouraged.

What even is there to even have a discussion about in here in that case? It may as well just be a poll.

I appreciate the mods don’t want two threads about Musk, but it seems a valid crossover does it not?

 

[Armageus]

I feel I have no choice because it doesn't seem possible to have a civil debate on OCUK forums. People obviously don't agree with my position but I believe I have kept things civil. It's not possible to have a civilised debate when people are throwing insults without being called out for it. It's even more difficult when the mods start joining in.

You can't start a civil debate with an entirely biased view of "After Musks fascist salut"

 

[potatolord]

What about just banning the letter "x", and see how that goes first?

While you're at it, ban "j", too! It's not even in the proper alphabet!

 

[C Kent]

NBA has gone full blown anti Lord Elon and anti Lord Zuckerberg. Is this allowable expansion to topic or also banned?

Do you want FB/IG/Threads also banned, or is the Zuck still on your 'good guy' list?

 

[UTmaniac]

It is Irrelevant that they post under their real names if they face no consequences. UK law is irrelevant if the fines are simply sweeped away as the cost doing business.

Ifs, buts and maybes.

Bro you're missing his point. He's saying it's mental.

 

[Kenai]

Maybe we can reach a compromise - the moderators create an OcUK Forums subreddit and then ban X posts on it?

Riddle me this...why not? The leader of the company did a nazi salute (peer reviewed by people smarter than you and I). Parts of the internet have responded by blocking X to signal they do not like the leadership style.

OP didn't create the random randomly this morning - it was trending news.

Maybe lovelyhead can start one and be the moderator

How about we be normal and just let people decide what they want to consume ?

That will make searching the pr0n section even harder ()

Na, that doesn’t work. Just leads to an obesity/health crisis and the NHS breaking.

Careful. It has been made clear that you are an idiot if you think there is ANY correlation and it is a mere spelling mistake.
