If the OP links an article, then anything in the article should be open season. The idea that the OP gets to define what can be discussed in a thread is much too confining.

Well, yes and no. Lets say an article is talking about reforming the tax code, but the poster only wants to talk about capital gains. If someone starts talking about farming deductions that would be off topic (unless it relates to capital gains) even if the article talks about it. Or if the discussion is about the start of the universe and someone uses a link to the book "A Brief History of Time".

But in most cases I would agree with you.

There's a good amount of blatant, obvious trolling that takes place here, nearly all of it from a handful of posters. Regulating that would go a long way.

IMHO this is a troll post. What is the point of it besides to stir the pot? :confused:


As to the link and runs, I don't really care about that, as mentioned, it's the stupid misleading titles that bug me more.

I wonder why no one has mentioned Ausm in this thread...a good deal of his posts are troll posts...nothing but "haha republicans are dumb" type of things.

Also, as were discussing this forums moderation, my biggest issue with this forum are two posters that like to insult the UK for seemingly no reason, I'm sure people know who I'm referring to, and if they don't then it's obviously not a problem. If you know what I mean then it's a problem. These two posters everyone tries to ignore, but sometimes it can't be done they derail, troll and attack people in almost every thread they enter, they are ignorant biggots that need to be dealt with in my humble opinion.

What . Do me a favor Send me one of your history books and well see what other history books say . It like your saying history didn't happen . You live on a piss ass island that really has little in the way of resources . Were did britts get there GOLD . Not from the earth . The Britts have raped the world for what now 600 years. And your sensitive to the FACTS. I see Germany ? Britts as kinda equals but rate the Germans hire up . With Russia Above both.

Seems to me you don`t start threads that much anyways, so of course you wouldn`t care.

So possibly if and when they mods start to act you would not be able to make such a blatant statement without some proof...other than saying what you are saying to get a reaction....

Dave, all you are doing is painting yourself into a corner. Doppel is identifying what both of you have posted.

After that it becomes a matter of reading the posts, observing reactions and comprehension.

Because your statements are continually quoted, they can be referenced.
They have been entertainment, but are now coming have to haunt you when you can not back them up or do not preface the statements with a disclaimer or waffle.

So your are saying Doppel is a Mod?

Not saying that at all.

Doppel made a statement predicting your actions. And the prediction was correct. Others also made a similar prediction. Doppel just is holding you feet to the fire with it.

Nope not really. I work for a living and rarely have time to read P&N let alone post in it. Someone always will have beaten me to any major news by the time I get a chance to read it. :colbert:

^^^ Folks, this is a simple but telling example of dank69's intellectually dishonest manner of discourse in P&N.



;)


(in case it was not clear, I am kidding)
Since you feign confusion about the difference between signal and noise, your post above: not funny, not clever, not substantive, not on topic. Therefore, it's noise.

There is a HUGE sale on Sense Of Humor going on in Germany. They have a lot of extra ones since many there do not use them. I recommend you buying one, as your current one is obviously defective.

Hey hey, watch the language. He is trying to get you to earn infractions by his consistent use of logical fallacies.

I did a quick search of this thread, and 100% of Perknose's posts are either outright lies or comprised of nothing but logical fallacies. He should start using himself as an example of a poster who should be removed.

Big difference here, Perknose's post is simply a fact.
Your rebuttal here is nothing of substance at all and simply attack on his character because you don't happen to like the fact that he posted.


Getting back on the track of the thread here, more moderation would be good, the trolls, post and run and other undesirable behavior are a bit out of hand. But at the same time a strict by the book interpretation of rules is not the best way to go.
Option 3 is probably the best choice of what is presented.
