[QUOTE=Chickens!;46268424]People in the thread tried that and got spammed in the other site with goatse and insults. [editline]18th October 2014[/editline] So i'm not really seeing it working here.[/QUOTE] That's just people being assholes though. That will die down as soon as the forums gets over the discussion.
[QUOTE=CheeseMan;46268370]If the poll continues the way it is, we can and will do that.[/QUOTE] The problem is that even if 1000 are satisfied the other 800 aren't. It's misrepresentation of the minority, it's not exactly the will of the users if 40% of the users don't want it. It's the problem with any sort of voting system, if there are two choices and there's a 50.0001% in one, it goes to that, but what happens to 49.9999% of people?
[QUOTE=Elfy;46268402]Freedom of speech and all that.[/QUOTE] Doesn't exist here, bucko.
[QUOTE=Pelican;46266561]I don't see why people dislike it, sure it's lewd and gross but it's not like you are forced to go into the threads "waaaah something yucky exists that I don't have to look at but I want it gone anyway!" ridiculous (no I don't go in those threads)[/QUOTE] Let's put it this way Someone took a massive diarrhea shit in a backalley somewhere. It's in the middle and behind a wall,so you don't often see or smell it but you know it's there. But you still want it removed right? ''Waaaah,but you don't have to go to it!!'' No,but it's still there and it's still fucking gross
[QUOTE=Chickens!;46268444]people from here are following them and shitting it up[/QUOTE] did this actually happen though doesn't sound like something very likely to be honest
[QUOTE=JPlus;46268476]if there are two choices and there's a 50.0001% in one, it goes to that, but what happens to 49.9999% of people?[/QUOTE] rivers of blood

Most people voted yes because they don't care or they don't see the problem with the thread.
i mean it sounds something more like they went to some other place that happened to have a bunch of other fp regulars too and then those fp regulars went "oh hey these guys have come here to share their fetishes too" and the fetish people felt like they were persecuted or whatever the day's buzzword is by fp users
[QUOTE=Muntu;46268490]did this actually happen though doesn't sound like something very likely to be honest[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Hervey;46266280]Hm I don't see one to add passwords. But there's options to delete all pictures from IP, and also to Ban & Delete posts. So it shouldn't be a problem to deal with. Problem now is shit like this [img]http://puu.sh/cgIzf.jpg[/img] lol[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;46266142]You need to implement a Captcha system. Somebody's spamming goatse and geyser diarrhea.[/QUOTE] Seems like it. They didnt go to another forum they made their own 8chan sub thingy i'm not sure how it works exactly but it's their own unique url. Aaaaanyway I dont wanna get dragged in to this round of drama train I was just pointing out that when they tried to leave after they were asked, people made it hard and drove them back.
[QUOTE=Chickens!;46268504]Seems like it. They didnt go to another forum they made their own 8chan sub thingy i'm not sure how it works exactly but it's their own unique url.[/QUOTE] oh huh nevermind then that's pretty sad actually

Most people voted yes because they don't care or they don't see the problem with the thread.[/QUOTE] You can't really just assume that, if people didn't care they'd likely just not vote. If you make a vote, that's something you think and believe in, so either way it's what people want. [QUOTE=rampageturke 2;46268546]in this case, they have to deal with it[/QUOTE] Think with empathy. If "yes" won, would you be fine dealing with it?

[/QUOTE] have you seen how many posts there are in this thread that basically say "why do you people care? just don't look, that's what i do and voted no"? i'm willing to bet that over half of the no voters really don't give a fuck if they delete the thread or not
[QUOTE=Muntu;46268606]have you seen how many posts there are in this thread that basically say "why do you people care? just don't look, that's what i do and voted no"? i'm willing to bet that over half of the no voters really don't give a fuck if they delete the thread or not[/QUOTE] (i think you meant to write "yes" but w/e) What they're saying is "I'm fine tolerating it by ignoring it, so yes" not "I don't care, so yes". They're two different statements, if someone legitimately didn't care about this, they'd immediately leave the thread, never return/notice it, and not contribute in the slightest.

[QUOTE=Radio Flyer;46268653]why don't you use steam groups? they're easy to use and you can kick people from the group[/QUOTE] Exactly. Create a private group, and invite only those you know want to be a part of it. Possibly the simplest solution
You people are acting like animals.
[QUOTE=DienDwemar;46269323]You people are acting like animals.[/QUOTE] There's going to be a very obvious dogfucker joke.
[QUOTE=DienDwemar;46269323]You people are acting like animals.[/QUOTE] *adjusts tie* *starts sweating profusely*
Craptasket could you void my 'yes' vote? I've become undecided enough to attempt not to participate in voting. And if voiding by request is not allowed then switching vote to 'no' would be fine too :v: - Thanks
[QUOTE=DemonElite;46268484]Doesn't exist here, bucko.[/QUOTE] Just saying it doesnt bother me, people can post what they like. I dont go there because its not for me, but if you dont like it, dont click on it. If garry doesnt want the threads then he should just take them off.
Just bring back oify, then everyone wins

If garry doesnt want the threads then he should just take them off.[/QUOTE] Well technically this isn't a place of free speech, I mean with the stereotype and public opinion of this site aside (i.e. BAN BAN BAN) this is a service provided by a private organisation, the free speech laws only apply to what Congress can do, not to what, say, garry can do, so no, people can't just post what they like. That's why we're having a debate, right now, and the outcome will likely decide on this.

Better than the alternatives I guess. [QUOTE=Muntu;46268689]o yeah meant yes i dunno, guess it's impossible to actually prove so it's pointless to argue about it. i personally think my case is more likely.[/QUOTE] I guess no matter what you or I say, we won't change each other's minds, so yeah it's kinda pointless to argue about it.
I'd just like to point out this thread has more views than the rules thread.

Yes, it is hilarious.
