Hey Mods

[Pepe]

Are all of you really in it? Seems only Ital is into the censorship.

[Smiffy]

I was wondering why they're deciding what we do and don't need on the forum.

[Spoonsky]

That's a shit avatar, mate. #StandWithRand

[Lewis]

We're over-staffed. SvN and phonics have got the nerd covered between them, and then just have Yevrah doing his trendy uncle bit. We've got more staff than actual TTH had, and even that had too many.

[John]

Are all of you really in it? Seems only Ital is into the censorship.

What censorship? If you're referring to Harold's shithole threads being closed, he's had two closed in two nights, and both of them were to do with the sexuality of children. I'd probably have given both a little more time than Ital did, but do you really think anything good is going to come of letting that sort of shit go?

You have a moan about this every time someone mentions a mod, and it's getting a bit weird. We have less staff than 'actual' TTH, so you're wrong there, and the only difference it's made so far is that requests are dealt with a bit quicker. I know you think the place should have no moderation at all, but if that happened it'd be Stormfront with more YouTube traffic within about a fortnight.

Anyone who wants to post in a pit with no content moderation at all is welcome to go to The Refuge and post there.

[mugbull]

People are defending Harold Quimby? What a joke, this place would be popping off the rockers if he was gone. The mods already uncensored themselves by bringing him back on board and as such consigned TTH to an inevitable death

[Spoonsky]

Ban Harold and get rid of half the admins. Easy.

[ItalAussie]

Slow news day?

[Pepe]

I'd probably have given both a little more time than Ital did, but do you really think anything good is going to come of letting that sort of shit go?

I am referring to that, yes. I don't think anything good would come of them, no. I was just wondering whether everyone is on board as claimed or if it is just Ital acting unilaterally:

Nope. Just ones that we can't be bothered dealing with, or even things we simply don't feel like hosting. It's our prerogative.


People are defending Harold Quimby? What a joke, this place would be popping off the rockers if he was gone. The mods already uncensored themselves by bringing him back on board and as such consigned TTH to an inevitable death

I am certainly not defending Harold.

Now that is an idea. Small government and all init.

[Kikó]

My heart is in it and I take the role seriously.

[Baz]

Mod Idol II?

[Giggles]

In fairness Ital shouldn't really be a mod at this stage. He was always dubious to begin with but these days he is hardly ever here and rarely posts, so it's all just down to timing whether you post anything that ranks on his personal offendometer. The rest are fine.

[Raoul Duke]

I think they do a good job of keeping Harold's racist/misogynistic/xenophobix horseshit down to a minimum and I appreciate that someone has an eye on it.

The only people who moan about mods are fucking idiots who'd rather it be totally unfettered for them to honk their bile over the place. See: The Refuge, for more info.

[ItalAussie]

I'm here quite a bit. I just don't post so much. I'm around though.

[Spammer]

It wasn't about children's sexuality. It was about gender identity.

[Dquincy]

I take issue with all mods being caucasian. It's like the Oscars all over again...

[Toby]

Kiko's ethnicity is at least ambiguous.

[phonics]

Fuckin' ell. Serious business this forum lark.

Ital and John do any 'moderation'. SvN and I check tech stuff and Kiko's the pretty face that sells the operation to turn the lot of you into homosexual communists. Shit, I've said too much.

[ItalAussie]

Don't spill the Plan™, phonics.

[Kikó]

I'm like Barrymore. You're all welcome to the pool party but you might not make it home.

[Toby]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we get it. You let people crash at your place during the meet. What a nice guy, all hail Kiko. You don't have to keep going on about it.

[Kikó]

Seething.

[Dquincy]

Kiko's ethnicity is at least ambiguous.

As is 'his' gender, so I hear.

[Lewis]

Because I'm right. I don't think we should have no moderation at all; but we don't need seven people doing it on a board of forty committed posters and Harold. If we do, then we probably need thirty. Make everybody except 'Club Lewis' and Harold admins. That way you'll have it all covered.

[Pepe]

How about one of those anonymous bias reporting systems? I've heard it works wonders.

[Boydy]

I don't see why you even care, Lewis.

[QE Harold Flair]

No, it wasn't. It was about gender identity. It was a perfectly legitimate story.

[QE Harold Flair]

Safe spaces are important.

[Yevrah]

I don't see why you even care, Lewis.

Because he does, a lot.

As for moderation, there isn't really that much to do these days. I'd interject if I saw something that really wasn't on before John or Ital got to it, but other than that it's pretty much all gravy.

[Magic]

How about don't be a cunt? Even I, captain cunt have grasped that for fuck's sake.

[Baz]

Same.

[Mike]

I do care. That is why I want to minimise the effects of the crap job you've all been doing since forever.

[Giggles]

Some are just playing to a theme rather than actually moderating the place. A lot of the closed threads and warnings are complete bullshit; poster over posted.

[Toby]

Anybody who wanted to could have continued the discussion in the News of the Day thread, rather than whinging about it. It doesn't seem anybody actually had much to say on the matter though.

[Magic]

The one thing I want to see more of on here is threads about whether pre-teens can sexually exploit grown men.

[John]

RL killed any chance of that with his wailing in that thread.

[Giggles]

That's not the issue. It's always been who and not what on here. Except for Ital who seemingly has a list he's zero tolerance on that you only find out about when he breezes in to dish out a warning. And on that, moderators should be active members or they're just going to warn based on an age old reputation because they have no idea of what's going on currently.

[Magic]

The problem with Ital is his world is made up entirely of numbers, flowers, singing rabbits and mildly religious, suburban, third-generation Australians. There's no way he should be moderating such rabid, unfiltered filth. And that was in reference to us, not the content. I'm amazed it hasn't broken him to the point of suicide.

[Baz]

Ital's alright.

[Toby]

And on that, moderators should be active members or they're just going to warn based on an age old reputation because they have no idea of what's going on currently.

It really wasn't in this case. It maybe seems it's Harold being targeted because he's Harold but it's more a case of Harold being the only person the moderators have to do much about because he's the only person who's enough of a knob to consistently force them in to action.

[John]

That's not the issue. It's always been who and not what on here.

That comes up any time there's a discussion about either the state of the board or the state of moderation, but I've just never seen it. Obviously someone with no history of fuckery is going to get more latitude than someone with five years of racism infractions behind them for the likes of Harold's famous 'Chimponda' thing, but when it comes to black and white rulebreaking you're going to have to be more specific. Who's being treated badly and who's getting away with murder?

[Kikó]

Who gives a fuck anyway? How many of you actually have been warned by any of us over the last 5 years? 20%? We're not bastards, it's very easy to post here.

[Magic]

'We'.

'You'.

Exactly the sort of divide and conquer tactics used by a totalitarian regime. Revolt, lads. Revolt.

[Kikó]

Don't make us ban you.

[Dark Soldier]

Place really doesn't need mods. One admin to step in if things really go over the top should be sufficient.

[Giggles]

It really wasn't in this case. It maybe seems it's Harold being targeted because he's Harold but it's more a case of Harold being the only person the moderators have to do much about because he's the only person who's enough of a knob to consistently force them in to action.

Harold has been a knob. Many times. But that doesn't mean it should be open season on him. What he posts should be evaluated rather than just the fact that he posted it.
And just because a certain mod has what seems like a personal thing about a certain subject doesn't mean anything on it should be closed just because he doesn't like like it himself.

[Toby]

But it gives an added context to what he posts. Maybe somebody else could have posted that news story in a thread and it wouldn't have been closed, but then that somebody probably wouldn't have posted it so belligerently and you might have expected there to be some reasoned discussion rather than pages of stubborn idiocy.

[Dark Soldier]

We're all adults now, aside from Spoon but he's essentially an OAP trapped in a twink's body so there's no harm there.

[randomlegend]

Yeah, that thread last night was closed purely because Harold posted it. I doubt most people would have got warned for 'homo' either.

Henry warned him the other week because he assumed something he mistyped was meant to be racist (which it clearly wasn't) for fuck's sake.

[randomlegend]

posted it so belligerently

:lol:

[Kikó]

It's a shame Harold created that rod for his own back.

[Magic]

Actually the mods have been pretty consistent if you look in Room 101.

[Giggles]

But it gives an added context to what he posts. Maybe somebody else could have posted that news story in a thread and it wouldn't have been closed, but then that somebody probably wouldn't have posted it so belligerently and you might have expected there to be some reasoned discussion rather than pages of stubborn idiocy.

But there's only one person with such a problem with the subject (not just the one thread/post) for whatever reason, but unfortunately he's the one holding all the cards. And that's always been the case with whatever subject too.
I couldn't see too many others having a problem with the posts so why censor it altogether?

[John]

I doubt most people would have got warned for 'homo' either.

Most people wouldn't be using it as a pejorative in the first place, but if they did they'd be warned for it. You don't have any particular history of homophobia, tell us about how you got away with using 'faggot' as a result.

[John]

That shouldn't be how it is though. I don't want to get involved in this discussion because I've no problem with the moderators, really, but it's not fair to close threads just because of who started them.

I've been in that boat and I remember sitting there genuinely baffled as to why my threads had been closed/I'd been banned. One time someone else even posted a thread on the same thing a few months later (it was Mario origami, lol) and it stayed open, albeit without much response. Still, like others have said, if someone like Hammerstein had started the thread instead of Harold, it would have stayed open longer. Although I've no doubt it would have eventually been closed once Harold had started to derail it.

[Kikó]

I don't think it is like that but if he's sometimes treated harsher than others then it's not surprising. He's a boring troll who I can't understand the sympathy for.

Henry was a cunt, similar to R-One.

Problem is we all have a baseline understanding of what we all want to see as a thread, naturally a shit thread will die out relatively quickly but nobody is as inflammatory, annoying and one way street as Harold. He's trolling, it's painfully obvious.

[Lewis]

I'm glad I kept those 'Toby for Mod' t-shirts and over-sized hats.

[Toby]

RL, I guess the lol is fair, I'd misremembered the wording of the opening post in that thread, presumably muddling it with his later posts in the News of the Day thread. There's still an expectation when he posts something like that of how it's going to play out. It can hardly be called an unfair judgement when it happens so often.

It's not "censored". The thread is closed, not deleted. If you want to respond to it it was posted elsewhere. Nobody really has responded though, because nobody actually cares that much about the topic.

[Toby]

Still, like others have said, if someone like Hammerstein had started the thread instead of Harold, it would have stayed open longer.

Yep. That's because if Hammerstein had started it it would have been a completely different thread and would have followed a completely different tone.

[Pepe]

Our day will come.

[Giggles]

Be specific or fuck up.

As a decent mod and poster you're capable of more rationale than that. Don't always be trying to live up to the prick persona. You know full well what I'm saying and I'm right too. Ital has always been a joke as a moderator and now that he's only fleeting here it's high time he was removed. This whole situation is only coppe fastening it.

[Kikó]

Your advice will be taken into consideration.

[Giggles]

That's settling.

[Lewis]

Bringing the old House Rules over in their entirety sums it up. They're like a charter for lameness.

[Toby]

One rule saying "don't be a dick" would be the best way forward but half the board would piss themselves over CONSISTENCY.

I await you, Harold and RL lining up outside my door with pitchforks.

This is some serious business.

[Giggles]

One rule saying "don't be a dick" would be the best way forward but half the board would piss themselves over CONSISTENCY.

It's OK because there already isn't any.

[Spoonsky]

Does moderating really affect any of our lives except Harold's? As Lewis would say, ironically, it's just an excuse to moan.

[Kikó]

What about the consistency though?

[Reg]

I for one will be up throughout the night taking all this in.

[Lewis]

One rule saying "don't be a dick" would be the best way forward but half the board would piss themselves over CONSISTENCY.

Ban proper porn and proper racism, and then just ignore Harold. We're not even a public forum are we? Yet that poorly thought-out 'homophobia' CLAMPDOWN is still running wild.

[Magic]

I think porn, or at least links to porn should be allowed, for fuck's sake.

[QE Harold Flair]

The one thing I want to see more of on here is threads about whether pre-teens can sexually exploit grown men.

Good job nobody ever mentioned pre-teens and I was proven correct then, eh? The reason nobody has responded is because I have been proven correct again. That's the truth.

[QE Harold Flair]

RL killed any chance of that with his wailing in that thread.

Is any opposition to you lot 'wailing'? Seems like it.

[QE Harold Flair]

Most people wouldn't be using it as a pejorative in the first place, but if they did they'd be warned for it. You don't have any particular history of homophobia, tell us about how you got away with using 'faggot' as a result.

I don't use it as a perjorative. I was clearly making something of a joke of Henry's completely wrong perception of me.

RL, I guess the lol is fair, I'd misremembered the wording of the opening post in that thread, presumably muddling it with his later posts in the News of the Day thread.

Pre-emptive action :D

You'd be lost you cocklord.

[QE Harold Flair]

You were getting similar not so long ago. Less than a year, probably. Now, you may see no harm in being forced to change your opinions (or just not espouse them any more), but I do. This, in fact, is a manifestation of where society as a whole is heading. People are afraid of an opinion that difffers from the left agenda. They need to be protected from speech, apparently. And, in any case, the thread which was closed had nothing at all that anyone could possibly be offended about and, worse, it seems as though it was deliberately mischaracterised as being about 'children's sexuality' when it was nothing of the sort. That was either deliberate or those who whose to make that claim did not even bother reading it.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij1sVU9Aioc

[Kikó]

Oh great. Another fucking YouTube video.

[QE Harold Flair]

Which you HAVE to watch.

'Oh great, another twat moaning about a video that he doesn't have to watch'.

Someone moan about this so we can keep the string going. It's fun.

[John]

Ital has always been a joke as a moderator and now that he's only fleeting here it's high time he was removed. This whole situation is only coppe fastening it.

Whether I can divine your meaning or not is irrelevant. Talking in allusions as you were is just sneaky arseholey. It's like someone fishing for an 'aww babe' on Facebook ,or the sort of thing Harold does to avoid actually saying anything meaningful he might later have to defend. If you're going to talk about this stuff, have the decency to make yourself clear and actually address the issue. If you're not willing to do that, just fuck up.


Is any opposition to you lot 'wailing'? Seems like it.

No. There was no wailing in this thread, for example, until you entered with your standard issue, off the peg victim complex. I'm happy to hear any issues people might have with my moderation, but it's possible to put those across in a way that isn't just 'woe is me'.

[QE Harold Flair]

No, I'm disagreeing with you, and expressing it as such. It's no more 'wailing' than you or your lot have been doing in this thread.

Explain, if you will, what consititued RL 'wailing' in the other thread other than the fact he disagreed with you lot? And I refer to you in that manner because you all tend to close ranks and become detached from any opinions of your own on such issues.

[John]

The manner. It was that of a smacked child, hence the terminology.

I wouldn't say you're wailing now, for what it's worth, because while you're still miles of base and taking up a bizarrely wounded position on everything, you're at least engaging in something approaching a conversation.

[QE Harold Flair]

I'd suggest it comes across in that manner because you see yourself and the discipline-giving parent. So any pushback in seen almost as insolence by you.

Was Kiko wailing about my video?

[John]

It's always good fun when you pick up on one use of language and try to redefine that word for TTH. I particularly enjoy it when you subsequently claim people are resorting to semantic arguments against you.

No, he wasn't. That was an exasperated sigh. Almost like that a parent might let slip when their child flings their plate of fruit on the floor for the fifteenth time.

[QE Harold Flair]

Pathetic.

That's me exasperated, by the way. I'm not wailing!

[ItalAussie]

No, he wasn't. That was an exasperated sigh. Almost like that a parent might let slip when their child flings their plate of fruit on the floor for the fifteenth time.
Should probably put this in a way that'll be understood.

[QE Harold Flair]

Strength in numbers, lads. After all, words are scary.

Group hug?

[John]

That's an interesting direction to take so soon after your attempt at a call to arms speech aimed at Magic and your leaping to the defence of RL's wailing.

[QE Harold Flair]

You're probably incapable of sensing sarcasm after all these years of playing the professional bore and offense taker.

[John]

Rumbled. It's not even like you've said anything in the last hour or two which makes it clear you do think we, the moderators, do retreat into a safety in numbers formation. You've done me there.


And I refer to you in that manner because you all tend to close ranks and become detached from any opinions of your own on such issues.

[QE Harold Flair]

It's more a case of the uniformity. There's no way several people should think in exactly the same way like that. Now you probably feel you're such an important collective that you simply must have a party line and show unity. Because, after all, the importance of words being read that someone might not like doesn't bear thinking about.

I'm glad you quoted that again for everyone to see. Perhaps one of my finest wails.

[ItalAussie]

I think you might be overthinking things slightly.

EDIT: Actually, even as I wrote that, I realised how implausible the idea is. Never mind.

[QE Harold Flair]

I'm offended and have reported your post. Personal attacks are not necessary.

[Baz]

We're not even a public forum are we?Yes. Guests can read threads without logging in.

It's why The Reid hasn't registered. He can browse the wrestling and best babes threads ("the only ones worth bothering with") and never posted anyway.

[Toby]

To be fair to the mod-haters, it is seriously lol that they closed it all down while Harold was banned and opened it up again when he returned.

[SvN]

I didn't realise it was opened up again.

[ItalAussie]

Yeah, I didn't know about that either. We probably need to make a firm decision on which way to go there at some point.

[Henry]

For the record, and in demonstration that there isn't any groupthink going on here, I didn't agree with the closure of the thread.

There's a good chance it would have ended up being closed, due to Harold being Harold. But it was harsh to pre-empt that.

[Chrissy]

I think porn, or at least links to porn should be allowed, for fuck's sake.


Nobody else has these issues. Its just you being an utter cock. Stop it.

Freud would have a field day with your post history. A porn ban would only affect your fine self. Harold is a twat but to be fair if you ban folks for being twats then it's going to get messy as it's all very subjective.

The hysteria over clamping down on all terms that may be offensive needs to get addressed. Racism and homophobia are wrong but so is freaking out over the use of certain terms being taken out of context.

[simon]

Harold is a twat but to be fair if you ban folks for being twats then it's going to get messy as it's all very subjective.

It really won't.

[Spammer]

Hang on, can I start a thread of childhood gender roles then?

[Magic]

We had a similar discussion when that program about trannie kids was on C4.

[Giggles]

To be fair to the mod-haters, it is seriously lol that they closed it all down while Harold was banned and opened it up again when he returned.

I'd seen it was closed a while back when I accidentally went on via an incognito window but didn't know it was back open again. If it's correlating with Harold being banned/unbanned then it's a large mixture of lol and sad.

[QE Harold Flair]

I suppose it's an honour that the entire board rules are changed because of me. Why wouldn't they want me even viewing the board? (I was, anyway). You have to ask yourself.

[simon]

If it's correlating with Harold being banned/unbanned then it's a large mixture of lol and sad.

This whole thread is just sad. Why do people give a shit?

[QE Harold Flair]

No he doesn't. He's literally just posted in this thread to tell people they're sad if they care about this shit.

By the sounds of it, he doesn't give a toss.

[QE Harold Flair]

So he cares enough to say that? Do I go into the UFC thread to tell people they're sad? Or any other thread I don't have an interest in? No.

[Magic]

Surely you've grasped now this isn't really the place for the type of stuff you've pigeon-holed yourself in to posting? If you want absolute agreement (which you do) I'm sure you can post on plenty of other different forums that share your views.

[Magic]

Like what? This isn't the place for a right wing perspective? This isn't the place for a non-feminist perspective? What position do I hold that you contend shouldn't be allowed here?

a) Posting like an irritating, spoiled child
b) Simply refusing to accept other viewpoints
c) Insinuating and being suggestive about things that are race/sexuality related, when you simply know fuck all about the subject at hand
d) Playing the constant victim

No, I'm still happy to present my views (before they were just purposely to aggravate people), however I don't present them in an irritating and inedible way.

You've just admitted that you only changed because of being voted 2nd worst poster. That's pathetic.

How on earth have you come to that conclusion? I admitted I was deliberately inflammatory. I still give my views but in an adult and reasonable way. I'm trying to say if you genuinely are a complete cunt and this isn't an act then fucking sort it out and at least present it in the proper way.

[QE Harold Flair]

'Adult and reasonable way'? lol

Provocation is a must in any free society. If you want the sanitised version then just ignore me. Note that I am not the one resorting to name calling, which is certainly not 'adult and reasonable'. One might even describe it as 'provocative'.

It's the Question Time effect. We know that polls repeatedly show the large majority of the population wants less immigration, but all the farmyard noises and shouting down that point of view in the audience does not give that impresion.

Basically, even the left are saying similar things to I was saying 10 years ago regarding mass immigration on the old board, when I was deemed 'racist' or 'bigoted' for saying those things.

[Lewis]

He's complacent. All that is necessary for the triumph of feminists and migrants is that Harold restricts his shite to a board of forty people who don't care, as the well-known maxim goes.

[randomlegend]

That's not my point. Even if you're right and most people agree with you, constantly crusading to convince us of your point of view is just entirely mad.

We're a small, random group of people you don't know and who are entirely inconsequential to your life - and who you think represent a minority opinion anyway.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Now you may say I am not doing much here, but at least I am morally correct to oppose mass rape gangs and cultural retards being allowed free passage to come and defile our women (just as an example, like). I have the right to this opinion and I firmly believe it's the majority opinion in this country, not that it matters.

[randomlegend]

Polls show my opinions, broadly, are not minority ones at all. Perhaps it's a class issue.

That's what I said. You come here to try and convince us your opinions are right despite the fact we are apparently in the minority anyway. What is the point? Why does it matter that this small group of internet dwellers are 'wrong'?

I disagree with you getting bullshit warnings and especially with your threads getting closed if they are fine, but your reason for being here really is beyond comprehension.

[QE Harold Flair]

I don't have to please anyone as to why I want to come here. Are you basically saying this is not a welcoming place for those with a different opinion to the middle class left?

[Lewis]

But do you not feel wasted here? Christopher Hitchens could have easily carved out a career as a literary critic for wanker magazines, but he felt compelled to act on his moral correctness. Where would we be if Douglas Murray had never bothered to reach beyond his immediate circle of gays? You have to branch out, Harold. If not for your own glory, then for these women who the cultural retards seek to defile.

[QE Harold Flair]

I'm not comparing myself to Hitchens.

I also come here for football, films and other things.

[randomlegend]

I don't have to please anyone as to why I want to come here. Are you basically saying this is not a welcoming place for those with a different opinion to the middle class left?

No, I'm saying I don't get what satisfaction you can possibly get from constantly espousing your opinions at people who don't care and/or don't agree with you.

It's the internet equivalent of banging your head against a brick wall.

[QE Harold Flair]

Isn't everyone constantly espousing their opinions? I don't care if people agree with me, really.

[Lewis]

Harold thinks he's fighting the good fight by regurgitating other people's material to 40 people who mostly ignore him and Saint here has a very odd idea of what this place is. Of course people don't apologise for their 'mistakes', it's a tiny corner of the internet where we talk rubbish and take the piss out of each other.

John is facing harsh criticism today after his public admission of involvement in a cash for infractions scandal, he is thought to have drafted a written letter of apology to Baz and tendered his resignation. His wife is standing by him and he is said to be looking forward to spending time with his family and being bitter in the garden.

It doesn't happen because all this is massively inconsequential.

I don't see it as an escape any more than talking to people over dinner is an escape, it's diverting to talk about things and see what various people think but it's ultimately as effectual as a million other conversations in the pub or indeed in any of about a billion little forums. It's probably just familiarity at this stage, a bit like having good furniture and I say good because it's more than a decade now and I haven't had to hack anyone up for the bonfire.

I really like that one. Tizen is a little rough around the edges but I would back Samsung to sort it before Google sort Android Wear, very quick though even using it with a non Samsung phone. Best looking after the Hauwei for me too.
My own one is a G Watch R. It nearly got dumped least year until they activated the WiFi though it's coming up on 18 months old now so will get changed soon. Waiting to see what the Fossil ones are like first.

G Watch R looks very nice...my main issue with smart watches is that they look too far different from a normal watch. But your's looks very traditional. Not cheap either.

That was the main thing behind it for me, that it looked somewhat like a watch and a lot at the time were square. I liked the black (main reason I didn't upgrade to the Urbane) but it's still a little bulky.
The black Hauwei may be the best looking imo now. The next gen may be worth a look.
