it was discussed with EVERYONE. when someone makes a post on religion i usually almost always write why it was locked. so they should know by now. its been a good couple of weeks almost a month if that, where religion hasnt torn up memebers. wii_smurf and ottoman are 2 classic examples (just to finally name names)
yep thats right i can mention it again if you prefer
Apparently, since I was unaware of the rule change, it was not discussed with everyone. Why not adjust the announcement with the rules so that all the new members are aware as well? Would that be too difficult.
As for the smilie, I will be certain to use them from elsewhere on every time I choose to use one. Just think -- I am saving the site bandwidth costs.

i use my own smilies all the time they messed up by not having this one
Pretty much every forum on the net eventually ends up with political/religious threads. There's only so much gaming-related stuff we can talk about, so eventually we're bound to talk about other issues, among them politics and religion.
Personally I don't mind such threads. Apart from a few racist comments they make for some interesting debates. Yes, the England thread got out of control, but it was all clean and within the rules except for one poster (in retrospect, I think Jill's right, I probably was wrong to fuel his fire). Unfortunately there's always going to be one or two bigots, but a little friendly debate never hurt anyone.

thats because the problems havent surfaced since youve been around. this was before you so obviously you wouldnt know.
as for making an announcement, that would be i0ns call. im not admin.

You joined in Jan 07, I joined in Jan 07. The difference here is?
My member number is 14912, where as yours is 11878. That is couple week's difference. I am sure every problem did not occur within that time frame. Since most of the signup on this board was prior to Feb (going by the member count, and it was cose to the release of the WIi), surely I was around for the same issues you were.

IN order to be a good poster you must undertand others and in order to do this you must relaize one thing. (In my own words) Reality is simply one's perception of the world so what is real for some may not be for others. However in order to have reality you must never belittle the realities of others and without reality there is nothing.
Basically you must realize that some of the psoters may be of a certain race or age. And while you have a right to your own opinions it is not necessary to swear to point them out. Also while everyone has a defferent religious opinion it is simply not a good idea to talk about it on a forum because, Wile you may have done it with little though, you could offend someone.

Please add me for a REASON and PM first
If I helped you out please click the green mushroom to give me rep.
If your opinion offends one person out of many, would you really not give it anymore? Please drop a little political correctness and get some reality here. Sometimes people are so politically correct that they lose sight of what is actually real.
That's my opinion... anyone offended? I don't care. See?
Of course there is a big difference in giving an opinion compared to attacking someone else. In this case it is just good manners not to.

I love how the thread about the ignorance present in internet based arguments has itself regressed into another internet based argument. This is ridiculous, people, and frankly, you all look stupid for taking part in it.
Of course, I commend Loose for her efforts to stop this farce, but one must realize that there are simply too many idiots out there to justify punishing the intelligent for attempting to carry out an intelligent discussion. No matter what rules you set up or how you try to enforce them, there's always going to be one more douchebag to come disobey them.
Again, I commend the effort, but it's not going to solve the problem.

I was just having fun. I was very amused today. Think what you will, however.

In don't understand why you would want such topics gone.
I for one like the idea of discussing polotics, religion etc with other members here. Why not?
I think most of the members have proven that they're sensible enough to not go to extremes.
Personally, I think these topics are great, and they should be kept. It's interesting dicussion and debate!
I see nothing wrong in threads about Religion and other intellectual subjects, I notice that Squall7 for example loves the likes of a indepth debate about his views with others (such as Haz which I noticed they had ), and I don't think these kind of threads should be stopped just because minority are ruining for them/us. If certain members are spamming, being harsh about peoples views and such, they should be dealt with (as I sure they are), but I don't think it should be stopped based on them.
Yeah, I agree. Some people that I know on wiichat are sensible and their input towards a certain topic are always appropriate. These people are open-minded.
Others who simply post a single sided view with very bad explanations are the cause of these problems. Thats just my opinion on this subject though.

They are not actually "problems" however. They are simply opinions. Others DO have opinions that can vastly differ from your own. Of course, I think most of us can all agree that little Tommy's views were a bit distorted, it was still his opinion and we all still have to face others with his opinion in the real world and online. I still don't see what the big deal was.

Personally I don't think its appropriate for a Mod to create a thread stating "You people need a reality check". Thats offensive enough to get me a little peeved right off the bat. As for your views - it seems to me that Wiichat is more and more becoming "TLC's Chat playground".
