Why did the time thread disappear?

Radiation · 14 Mar 2011 at 19:43

Was it a forum malfunction or deleted?

I think i was the last to post, weird...

Anewbe4u · 14 Mar 2011 at 19:45

Because some people clearly found it offensive that some people had thought too much about how they would rape and pillage.

To be honest, I thought it was just a laugh.

daelo · 14 Mar 2011 at 19:45

much like the "dont you just hate it when" joke thread about the earthquake was deleted.. inappropriate and would offend the majority of people on here..?

It figures when there are thousands of people viewing a thread but only a small handfull post within ...

If you mean the stopping time thread, probs because the closet rapists came out in too much force.

Radiation · 14 Mar 2011 at 19:48

Ok i see, deleting might of been a bit much though, a friendly warning would have been better.

I wanted to get into the science behind it, ah well...

The Dons seem to have been out in force a lot more recently, a lot more suspensions, thread locking/deleting going on than usual. Sure I read that Spie was wanting to take a more hardline approach but not sure why.

Radiation · 14 Mar 2011 at 19:54

These forums have always been rather strict and i don't think its in a good way.

Check out the escapist, laugh at a sexist joke and you get suspended for a few days.

Because lately people have been getting away with far more than what I recall from first joining these forums.

Threads that encourage closet peados, rapists, weirdos and outright nutjobs to air their fantasies should be removed.

probably bc theres been a lot of bad mouthing of ocuk recently (some would say with good reason), the dons used to tolerate a little but i think there trying to stop it 24/7 now.

and i think in general there reading a lot more threads and discovering in the process that some people take it a little too far lol, apart from the motors forum of course ><

Radiation · 14 Mar 2011 at 20:01

I didn't realize how the forums had been, i've not really been on much lately.

+1.

I think that it is a sad indictment of society that when asked the Question "If you can stop time, what would you do?" the first thing that enters your head is molesting another person in some way.

One of the Dons (Freefaller perhaps) mentioned it in a thread, probably in the Motors section.

JBod · 14 Mar 2011 at 20:23

I stopped time, went to the data centre then hacked the server. On the way back I used a rusty bread knife to violate all the people who thought it funny to rape if they could stop time.

Lucky I only use my powers for good.

Partially agree but you were a bit sneaky....

Threads on paedos and rapists ok i see that makes sense...and you then lump in with them... the "weirdos and the nutjobs"

which one is it i wonder...

I think its fair to suggest that what people say on a forum and would do in real life is possibly not the same.

I'd hope so anyway

I quite agree, but it is still indicative of society that the first thought is to harm.

I was not expecting a deconstruction of my post!

I am not sure I see a problem either. Not all weirdos are nutjobs. Not all weirdos/nutjobs are peados... etc...

Perhaps I should have just said paedos, rapists and other undesirables? :eek:
