I just wanted to enquire what types of wind-ups were meant to be excluded by mods/admins from the Utd forum...





...As opposed to being conducted by them for example. ;)
 
feck are you on about this time?

Simple really:

Due to loads of complaints, and jointly decided cafe policy, the mods and admins were seeking to improve the standards of posting on the cafe.

This included trying to stop the wind-ups that occurred in Footie fora. (eg. fake scores in the matchday.)

I'm reasonably certain that the main Utd forum was one where they said they would take steps to stop wind-ups.

I was just wondering whether this only included certain types of wind-ups since we've recently had a mod/admin publicising the fact he has been doing this in a thread in that forum.

Fair enough.
 
Noodle is funny at his wind ups though
 
Is this related the the Saha Lyon thread?

Was that a wind up in the end?
 
Internet forums without windups are likes pubs with out beer.
 
He's still pissed about Noddle in the OH thread.

Let it go.
 
He wound you up good didn't he?

You look like you're being a smartarse popping up and saying this though.

A bit of banter is a good thing and makes it a little more fun. Allow it.

I'm fine with banter.

Name-calling is generally felt to be part & parcel of internet debate - even though I tend to stick to argument.

However, accusations of dishonesty against another poster whilst refusing/failing to advance evidence are rather different.

To continually do this and be met simply by argument until an abuse of power allows the slanderer to alter their opponent's tagline is pretty low behaviour. To have to resort to such lengths in order to get anywhere in a wind-up is an indication of just how inadequate the wind-up merchant is.

Doing this when they are supposed to be excluding people who commit wind-ups from the forum is consistent with their established dishonest approach to internet 'debate'.

Actually you arsehole - you're the one who should be looking at 'what you're doing'!
.

So a bunch of pillocks who couldn't construct a coherent argument if their lives depended on it get their way...

Listen arsehole...

You're just a 'tag along' pillock, incapable of adding anything concrete to a debate.

So your opinions count for shit. You're a dickhead, with the moral sense of a diseased prawn

Actually - with a few notable exceptions:

feck OFF THE LOT OF YOU!!!!
 

And I think you'll find every single one of your intended negative examples occur when, after 2 days of Noods falsely accusing me of dishonesty (with various sidekicks goading him on {hi Plech!}) he'd just abused his privilege by changing my tagline - to some hilarity from people who hate to have to construct an argument when debating - and who were hurling their own abuse.

Surely not! I hear you shout! Surely Plech, like his mate Noods, would never misrepresent another poster in a dishonest manner. :D

So I managed to retain the procedures of civilised debate for a couple of days with people either abusing me or telling me I shouldn't be actually bothering to argue - then when I get shafted because the pillock happens to be able to change taglines I'm not supposed to complain. :rolleyes:

Honestly mate you have to let it go. You act like a 12 year old.
 
Plech and FeedingSeagulls are going to end up in bed together, you can cut the sexual tension with a gigantic green and white dildo.

You'll Never Wank Alone.

Plech and Feedingseagulls are clearly the same person. So, in fact, "they" will wank alone.

Indeed, I suggest a tagline change. Plech should receive the tagline "Feedingseagulls" and FS should receive the tagline "Plechazunga".
 
:lol: when the rest of us tell each other to feck off, and call each other pricks, dickheads and arseholes, we're uncivilized... when you do so it's an official substantiated claim.

Hypocrite, and idiot
:lol::lol::lol:

So we have:

You having consistently accused me of dishonesty on the basis of no (or fabricated) evidence.

You repetitively complaining about my personality and posting style over many months/years.

You selectively quoting a few insults made by me carefully excluding the context - they were made after over 90 posts in that thread generally constituting reasoned argument - even in response to false allegations of dishonesty by various posters. It was the abuse of power and the way that was embraced by others that finally produced a few insults.

You recently choosing only to quote part of a point I was making to make it seem much worse.

Therefore - you have been dishonest whilst accusing me of the same (similar to Noods).



After all that, I DO reckon the term 'arsehole' is justified to describe you.

I think you might actually be cracking up mate
 
Top - I like that, you didn't make that yourself did you!? Very good.

Nope I only drew the wind up mechanism and the noodle hair, here's Lizardking pissing himself:

Here I only drew the pants and the pee
 
Still waiting for a mod/admin to tell us all exactly what sorts of wind-ups are and are not allowed.

Amusing targeted wind-ups of people acting like irritating bellends = encouraged

Unamusing untargeted wind-ups attempting to snare anyone = discouraged
 
Do you do cartoons for newspapers Top?
Nope - I haven't made the cartoons above, I've just edited them to fit the thread by adding a wind up mechanism to the seagull and long curly hair to the angry man - and pants and pee on the lizard.
