The Codex can't have fallen so low, can it? This place used to have standards, and even deep in the murk of tubgirl and goatse, there used to be at least some unwritten rules.

If you allow pictures like this - well... it speaks for itself.

Why are you so riled up about this picture? Did your grandfather die by falling into a pit or something?

Today my History class took a field trip to the Museum of Tolerance. Its a museum showing kids not to be prejudiced and all that good stuff. Anyways, one exhibit is two doors next to each other. One door has a sign hanging over it saying "Those with prejudice walk through this door" The other door's sign said "Those without prejudice walk through this door". Obviously the door for people without prejudice isn't openable because as the tour guide says "Everyone has prejudice". So, I start tugging on the door and say "What the hell is wrong with this damn door, did some damn Jew make this?" and the tour guide kicked me out and I had to sit in the bus for 15 minutes (the rest of the trip). When we get back my history teacher found out what I did and had a fit and I get suspended. What a fucking way to end a week.

I was writing this thing about TNP was just a dumb kid worth keeping around for the fun till I realized I'd mixed him up with Walkin' Dude yet again. I have no idea why I get them mixed up. Same with Koki and Riso, sheek and general samov, etc.

Yeah, no idea either, but it happens all the time for me, too.

As much as I hate Nazi ass holes ( my name is actually taken from a rasputina song about fictitious girls who would use plants found around the birkenau encampment to ease the pain of prisoners, something I felt deeply touched by) but free speech is free fucking speech. That means any hate filled, stupid bullshit anyone can come up with. You have the right to call him a douch, and the admins can ban him or anything else since they run the site, but since they have not I assume they plan to uphold some semblance of free speech.

So get rid of that pic already, I'd appreciate if Nicolai would just do it himself. I understand how it's meant to be funny, and I've no hard feelings, but certain things shouldn't be trivialized so easily.
Maybe if you hadn't killed the Jews we wouldn't have an excuse to post those kinds of image. Hmm, ever think about that, you nazi fucks?

This kind of humor gets tiresome very quickly.
Oh wait, that was sarcasm, right? Then it's cool, obviously.

That was before you started making threads about sexual orientations, sharing your furry fantasies, and added that link to your signature.

Uh, no. Why? See the quote below.

Sounds wonderful.

Ok, let's sort it out. The picture is gone. Nico, be a doll and don't post it again. Riso is banned (look at the plus side, now we can rename the thread to "Unban TNP and Riso!"). Did I miss something?

What, banning someone because of an insult? Delete spam, but for god's sake stop banning people. If the codex goes to shit and dies, ah well, everything comes to an end, but if it first becomes just another moderated forum, then it will die in disfigurement and shame.

EDIT: Yes, really, I don't see why you are prepared to break your policies and ban people because of their views or because a single insult, but you allow all the shitty (although somewhat funny) spam to live. Clean up some of that shit, and lets have a few nice discussions, like not so very long ago.

Riso was warned twice. Apparently he's a slow learner, but that's hardly my problem, is it?

You say it like I ban people every week.

It *is* a moderated forum now. Live with it. Or stop posting shit, in which case you'll hardly notice the moderation.

Welcome to teh future!

Yes, because free speech should only protect the shit we wanna hear and agree with right? I mean it was made so that I could proclaim my love of apple pie and Disney without fear of reprisal.

Fair enough then.

Well, you seem to be implying that you will ban sheek in that other thread.

I don't post the shit, never liked forums really. This is the first one that really interested me, because of the free atmosphere, and because no one was allowed to get away with stupid claims, in fact the would be beaten to a pulp, not just argued with. I loved the way people violently disagreed with me. That really puts one's ideas to the test.

Of course the moderation is fine on its own, but it's the *atmosphere* of the place that I am afraid for. Will people stop saying what they think, stop beating down (or trying) those they disagree with? Will there be a slight fear, a slight politeness in the tone of the posters? Will we pause a bit before we post to check if our post is "acceptable"? That would suck.
And not to mention that I really enjoyed TNP's more thought-out posts, and that anyone who can't take an uncalled-for insult should not be posting on the codex in the first place (or at least it used to be that way).

I don't really care what free speech is and isn't for. Originally the Codex was an unmoderated site where all opinions were welcome. That was when it was a discussion site, known for the the strength of its discussions and well thought through arguments. These days one can mistake it for the Bethesda forums, unfortunately.

I will never edit, remove, or silence in any way an intelligent post. That's the true freedom of speech, aint it? Do you care if I remove some dumb shit or throw out a few spammers? Will that offend your delicate sensibilities?

No, I'm implying that I will send his new thread on a one way trip to Retardo Land.

Sure. But this mechanism that once protected the intellectual purity of discussions and kept morons under control is now gone. Your suggestion? Do nothing? Watch the morons overrun this place?

The atmosphere is long gone.

But that's what we used to have. Fear and a pause. Is my post good enough? Thought through well enough? Any holes that I overlooked that would pointed to me immediately? Am I making an idiot out of myself? Am I knowledgeable enough?

Fair enough. I guess I should realize the difference between discussion and spam or flame baiting. I have just seen a lot of great sites go down hill that way and it would be a shame if the Codex did the same just as I am getting used to the place. That said it does seem the mods know what they are doing so I will try not to needlessly argue, it's just the paranoid trouble making ass hole in me :twisted:
