Technically though, being that I'm 17, I'm recognized by my state as an adult, so I feel special. :D

cool - now we can execute you!

The request for banning someone was the catalyst that led to this thread which is to discuss a way to better define THE RULES...This thread wasn't really about whether or not someone should be banned...But, about what should be considered a 'bannable offense' and whether his comment would have been considered such...

In that case:

I think you should come up with a no-insult policy like... three strikes and you're out. On the first and second insult (be it serious or a "joke") the person would get a warning. On the third, get banned.

I don't see the point of insulting users at Forums, or even making nasty jokes about someone. Those who do it should definatelly be banned. We're here with the common goal of talking about Horror (and the facts of life occasionally :P), those who don't share this goal and just want to act childish or pick a fight should go somewhere else.

I understand your point...But, you gotta be realistic...

I mean, if we wanna tell someone "Hey, you're being a dick, knock it off"...We should be able to

Or...What if someone tells us a funny story about how they wimped out on something...like a horror movie or a roller coaster ride, or something...Shouldn't we be able to say, "Man, you're such a pussy"?

I mean seriously...We insult each other here CONSTANTLY...You don't do that with your friends and family in real life?....It USUALLY isn't perceived as a malicious attack...

This place wouldn't even be the same anymore...And...We would have no members left


This is a horror forum...We've ALL watched the movies and heard the language on a regular basis...This isn't Disney...

Okay, lets clear this whole thing up:

the "It Stops Now" thread will be left up as a guideline, no more, no less. Every incident will be taken on a case by case basis, with banning being meeted out by mods as they see necessary.

So Sayeth the spider.

In that case, the best thing is to analyse each case individually, like the guy riding the pig over there said.

Good luck admins :D

And...Thank you, too :)


So...Pretty much...Just keep doing things the way we HAVE been doing them...

With the new added stipulation of:

Okay...After all of this...Here are my overall suggestions (Thanks Vod and Hammerfan)


PLEASE consider WHO you are speaking to when you make a statement, and whether or not they may respond negatively to it.....If you KNOW that the comment you intend to make WILL create a war with someone, do NOT make that comment to (or about) that person....

Some people can handle it...Some people will play along with you...Some people will hit you right back in a funny, or intelligent way...And some may hit back with the same force you give them, and THEN...let...it...go

But...Some people just have to be left alone

So, pretty much, if you know you are going to cause a shitstorm...You are fucking up...Just stop

If you throw a rock at a Poodle, it will most likely yap and whimper...But, if you throw a rock at a Rottweiler, chances are you may be eaten....So, we choose not to throw the rock...We should be intelliigent enough to figure this out...

Fair enough?

[Vodstok]

wow.. Mouth off and affect change. i like this :)

Next.. Send me money!

Rayne has done this and knows it feels GOOD to give to Vod, so send me some cash. no checks please, money orders are fine.

[The Flayed One]

I want a recount! Some of the voters in Florida didn't understand the question properly!

[VampiricClown]

Sounds fair to me...

One thing I must ask though. You said the poodle and rottweiler....What would be the medium dog that just don't give a shit? :confused:
