PSA - Pointless Ad-hominem Attacks - Updated 2023-10-26

I guess so 'cause it's become part of the vernacular, like motherfucker.

Doesn't mean you actually f your mom or play the skin flute. :dunno:

IOW, if it still looks and sounds like the same shit hole it won't last.

It's literally up to you to pull your heads in on this one. Is losing OTC worth one last tit-for-tat, pointless jab at another member?

Ask yourselves.
As the steward of the ship do you do what must be done to save the ship or let her sink? Only you can make that call.
 
At the end of the day if the OTC is that fucked up does it really harm anyone.

It's a sub forum and not the real world.............it's simply a whipping post which is an inanimate object.
A padded cell if you like.

My ONLY recommendation would be to put an over 18 password on the front door in order to access it.
There is already a disclaimer in place with Abandon All Hope.

It's not really his call, it would be up to the Admins. MM has been a champion of bringing OTC back and most recently, requesting that it stay that way despite uncertainty from the Admins. I think what MM is saying, is that if the shit continues, it will probably be out of his control. He can correct me if I'm wrong.

No offense to you TGP refugees but it wasn't until Feb/March did things really go downhill. Not that it wasn't rolling downhill anyway :lol:

I’m not a TGP refugee been here for years. Look at my profile.

I am not saying shut it down. Do what needs to be done to prevent the shutdown.

Second in command here under Mr. Monkey speaking . Mr. Monkey transfers all his powers to me when he goes off to take a shit . I have attempted to permanently ban all libtards but Mr. Monkey forgot to clear the cache so they're still here .:sick:
 
Okay....I'm being utterly serious............I have missed the point..............honestly I have.

This is NOT being argumentative........I honestly have missed what others are saying.

If this section is all for free speech it sure has the walls closing in and why?

It's a sub forum with a message of don't complain if you enter.

Tit for tat? Isn't this what ALL people do when they don't agree? It's on every public message board there is.

Attacks? Well, everyone here is thick skinned and knows what the play is. Those who didn't like it left.............like anywhere else.
The entry says abandon all hope.

Does the OTC hurt RT?...........No, not at all as it's been defined by its tenure to date............all who don't like it ....they stay out.

You can't please everyone so why even try as you're on a thrashing to nowhere.

Okay, what have I missed?

Mean tweets, orange man bad .

New rules are no mean tweets . They want us to love one another and embrace are mortal enemies . I have tried that in the past and it just doesn't work for me , I cannot love and embrace a libtard . Everything goes fine until they open their mouth .

If they never open thir mouths we get along OK though.

I think it is the back and forth. In every thread. It is about the degredation of the forum experience for those who are not taking part in the back and forth.

Someone ratted to the admin. I suspect about the post about someones relative. Admin (the owner) looked into OTC and effectively said “I don’t like this”. So here we are

He who has the money (or in this case ownership stake) makes the rules.

If you look at the rule update that Monkey Man made following his PSA, it has two components:
  1. Ad hominem attacks of a sexual nature
  2. Ad hominem attacks of an overly abusive nature
Sounds like theanagement is happy on #1. Not so much on #2.

https://www.rig-talk.com/forum/threads/otc-rebooted.226972/

As of 2023-07-12 members will be punished for ad-hominem attacks of a sexual or overly-abusive nature.

Sorry. I know I quoted you but I was speaking in general.
I'm not keeping track of names (or name changes) :lol:
I really don't have a problem with anyone here. Honestly :dunno:
I only get my panties in a bunch when mods have to do more work than 'normal'
Or - when things get too crazy we risk loosing it all.
Clig, I did just now look at your profile. If I'm reading it right, your first post at Rig-Talk was in Feb 2021 (roughly) so you are correct :cheers:

In OTC? Perhaps. I had been hanging in the main gear area before that for a long time. I also post in pets. Hobbies too.

Here is a post from the “pets” section in March… 2021:

Post in thread 'Let see pictures of your pets'
