There was a good thread talking about this forum being a wall, for anyone to paste anything, to a highly regulated public forum. Yes, you can say, ignore, everyone has their own opinion etc. I value that, but not to the detriment of others. An opinion can be valued, true or false, agreed or disagreed, if properly put forward in a clear concise manner. Shouting, harassing, spamming, are just not valid behaviour. Just think back to all the LeeTahBar threads with pictures and pages of spams in his thread. Even if he had a point to make, its lost in all those "white" noise. No one ever bothers looking through them knowing how bad it can get. Moderations are needed just because anyone can be an idiot in an online forum like this.

Kiddo,
To start with, this thread was always a tongue-in-cheek. :p
I agree with you, this being an open forum, anything goes.
But hey, Sam is actually acting on some of our peeves and tweaking the forum setup.
Let's see where it goes from here, enjoy while it lasts!
Maxi,
There're always threads like this and there always will be. I believe Sam too believe in freedom of expression which he hosted this forum based on. There isnt much to tweak, you'll miss the fun if things get sterile.
LOL! Infract those who dare post the legendary "hold mic" pic!
You managed to find another 8 points

It doesnt matters what others says or has to say. Words sometimes hurt but it cant kill, it'll not be detrimental to anyone.
If you cant agree to disagree, cant accept opinion differences and cant ignore virtually, just identify those nicks and use the ignore function then you wont get to see their post at all and you'll be happier.
Trolls, flamers with profanity, flame baits, nuisance whatever like it not there always will be. Idiots or not it's their style, they just want to have fun and that's what they are like it or not. So long as you ignore, they'll die off after a while.
wah lau eh, die off? can u remember those times? almost every post will have a faggot screaming ejay this or cheating housewife that. and then the rest will have this sinkie loser shouting must be balless sinkie must be balless sinkie.
Well, they died off eventually, not around anymore isnt it?
So do you know who are the real life enemies of LTB in this forum who are posting caricature pictures and vulgarities whenever he posts?
no, only because this 'OA' has been infracting and keeping them banned.
it appears that they're back...

Sam's coffee shop never closed. All it did was move to a different location.
It was moved because Delphi management interfered with my editorial policy.
Some kind soul did up your points. You are now an "Inf".
At first, I thought it was those who got infracted. Went to the folder and didn't see being infracted.
I concluded that it must stand for "Infantile".
And delphi classified your old site as an adult site because spammers like leetahbar posted pictures of anuses, and both he and his detractors kept polluting the forum with pictures of snakes, pigs, and faeces.
Your editorial policy should be to keep spammers out because they drive traffic down over time.
I had no issue with the classification. The issue I had was with the interference from Delphi management. Even Gay bashing wasn't permitted by Delphi and some members who took the resident faggot to task had their nicks banned.
That's horrendous!
What's the point of having a forum if we cannot even laugh at Leetahbar and Ramseth gobbling each other's cocks?
did they also interfere with other delphiforums? there are so many which don't seem to have that kind of problems.
perhaps netizens fr singapore are the worst kinds that cannot take on arguments or proper sharing of opinions.
my own free forum in delphi doesn't encounter such problem. maybe the same spammers and trolls fr your site haven't discovered it yet.
I still have one forum running on Delphi and it never had any problems either. It all the depends on the genre of the forum and the sorts of characters that contribute. The fact that many members of the Delphi forum actually complained to Walt Howe about the content of the forum didn't help matters.
The coffee shop was a free-for-all and many of the posts were slanderous, blasphemous and bigoted and at least 20% of the content violated the Delphi TOS at http://www.delphiforums.com/agreement.htm
I therefore didn't have a leg to stand on. The easiest thing to do was to move.
Yes, but most of those posts were contributed by you...:(
and now in your new forum, they are acting out as mini-walt howe. since creating clones to up their points give a false sense of support but enable them to abuse the infraction once a certain level of points is reached , doesn't this aggravate matter and defeat what a "free speech forum" suppose to be?
if it's a free speech forum, all redundant gadgetry to muffle opinions should be disabled. i ve look into SDP site. they claim that they are for free speeches but rarely do we see any honest criticisms about them getting posted.
please do not allow this forum to degenerate into another SDP's mouthpiece. singapore already lacking the aveneues for free expression. speakers' corner is just a farce. again, this fake avenue of "free" speech is most abused, exploited and utilised by SDP.
i ve just checked on that leetahbar and realise he's banned. permanently?? for what reasons?
thank goodness! i just realise i can easily use the ignore key to block some very nuisance trolls.
