Do Gold Members have the option to fill in custom report reasons? For the most part, Spam, Warez, and Flaming/Trolling work, but there are times when I'm 98% positive a post is bannable and the three categories don't quite fit.

It will get a mod to read the post if someone else reported it and they'll probably get banned for whatever they did.

Can we make religion threads a bannable offense if they already aren't? All they do is cause a massive flame war.
[QUOTE=bepassley;26057861][url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/778487-Rules-for-General-Discussion-READ-this-before-you-POST[/url] If there aren't any rules then shouldn't this be taken down? People don't seen to read it anyway.[/QUOTE] When you first join the message says something to the effect that there are no rules, use common sense (sorry I can't remember it exactly, haven't made an alt in a while). Stickies for individual forums should be read and going against the advice will probably get you banned. However, there's no actual list of "Rules of Facepunch" any more as there used to be.
[QUOTE=fish puncher;26058585]Can we make religion threads a bannable offense if they already aren't? All they do is cause a massive flame war.[/QUOTE] First of all it's in the sticky not to make them, it's up to the mod to give the appropriate punishment they see fit.
[QUOTE=fish puncher;26058585]Can we make religion threads a bannable offense if they already aren't? All they do is cause a massive flame war.[/QUOTE] Moderators can close religion threads if they seem to be getting out of hand. It seems a bit heavy handed to completely forbid any discussion but I agree that threads saying "Religion X is better than Religion Y" will never go anywhere since religious faith is by definition not open to rational argument.
Here's a question that may or may not have already been answered, but... Whose bright idea was it to create the OIFY section of Facepunch, and since it caused Google to report the site as malicious, why don't we just get rid of it and go on with daily life?

[QUOTE=Craptasket;26058922]Where is your source of these ridiculous allegations[/QUOTE] I heard a few people talking about it yesterday, and they said someone in OIFY clicked on a link and presumably gave them a virus, so they reported it to Google and they labeled the site as harmful.
It was the ad's that caused FP to become malicious, you need an account to even see OIFY [editline]14th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Lordgeorge16;26059023]I heard a few people talking about it yesterday, and they said someone in OIFY clicked on a link and presumably gave them a virus, so they reported it to Google and they labeled the site as harmful.[/QUOTE] Dumb people*

If there are 2 reports on a post of any kind, they'll see it.
May I ask why racism is a bannable offence yet discrimination can go for 35 pages of arguing and flaming?
So not liking a disgusting fetish is now discrimination?
Oops, disregard this post. Misread the post I quoted.
[QUOTE=Ollih;26065809]So not liking a disgusting fetish is now discrimination?[/QUOTE] Most furries like to have "Fursonas" and aren't into raping actual animals but rather into animals with human features, (anthromorphic or something along those lines) It's like saying all Muslims are extremists or all Jewish people are super tight with their money, again discrimination.
ew thats gross
oh yeah i forgot to ask, what happened back in august? from what i saw, facepunch got hacked or some shit?
[QUOTE=Kid Cudi;26065987]oh yeah i forgot to ask, what happened back in august? from what i saw, facepunch got hacked or some shit?[/QUOTE] Yeah what happened?

Not liking people for a sexual deviation is [B]not[/B] illegal and it's really best for everyone if you keep your posting about this topic in the forum made for you. Anyone flaming you in there can be reported. My advice would be don't post about being a furry outside of the furry forum.
Racism is actually a crime in the UK?

My advice would be don't post about being a furry outside of the furry forum.[/QUOTE] I feel as though it should be pointed out that I am not turned on by any sort of animal with human features or animal without them, I was only asking (then explaining that all furries aren't into raping animals) about discrimination. Also I have seen bans made for "Racism" when it insulted jewish people (as just an example of a particular faith), I would have thought that was more discrimination against a religion/faith, throughout the anti furry thread I was trying to stop the stereotype/generalization that every furry is stupid whereas if they were to say that all jewish people are always tight with their money they would have received a ban. It just doesn't seem quite as fair as it could be... [editline]15th November 2010[/editline] I could also make the same argument that people have been banned for making fun of homosexuals if faith doesn't quite fall into discrimination.
[url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1026775-How-do-you-quit-being-the-nice-guy[/url] Was just wondering why this thread was closed. Maybe it could have been in love advice but it could have opened up some interesting discussion.
Sorry if this was asked before but I didn't bother reading through 76 pages of looong text just to spot one question. I'm an 09er, I played gmod back then but only registered then, so I come to ask: What is smartness?

I'm an 09er, I played gmod back then but only registered then, so I come to ask: What is smartness?[/QUOTE] It was a system in which when someone spelt something wrong (wat), they would lose smartness. It's like points, basically. You spell something wrong, you lose some points.
Do these points have any meaning. Do they affect your account standing/reputation, or do they win you anything or something?
