[QUOTE=bisousbisous;46849239]image macros with no text accompanying them have always been bannable outside of lmao pics[/QUOTE]

IIRC that applies to general, broad image macros. Image macros made specifically for the thread arent bannable. But it might've changed since then.

no it hasn't, but you might still get banned by a mod and be asked to prove that it was you who made it in the first place. Also it isn't guaranteed that you might be unbanned for it either.

Based on some responses I've seen in other threads about potential physical violence, quite a few people would just run circles around the aggressor while calling for help/911.

This isn't a democracy. If Magistrate SteveUK wills it, it must be law.

Also, that guy's face got fucking wrecked. The other guy's hands must be broken as all hell by now.

I doubt a single thread in this section has stayed on track for long...

The source is unreachable for me as well, is there another article on the same story?

I see the point of the ban. You have to set boundaries somewhere, mods can't just let everybody post stupid images which don't contribute to the thread at all. But seriously, saying that that image was not contributing to the thread isn't true. You can say whatever you want, but a lot of people thought it was funny. And isn't that the point why we browse facepunch? To have a good time and a laugh every once in a while?

a shitpost that has 180 funnies

please resign you awful excuse for a mod, and you too orkel

There's no reasoning behind this ban that I cannot instantly refute honestly if you care about the community let it evolve and do it's own thing rather than trying to enact rules that the community DOESN'T FUCKING SUPPORT

[QUOTE=SteveUK;46848118]Because they are, any reference or dumb joke that contributes nothing to discussion is a shitpost.

Banning a user for making a low effort post makes you autistic now? That's a new one.[/QUOTE]

seeing how the overwhelming fucking majority disagrees with you, I suggest you stop

This isn't your personal playground, it's a community. How much of a bloody fucking tool and an authority-jerking dickbag do you have to be to continue doing something 80% of the people involved do not support? Do you really think you are so smart that your opinion should override those people? If so you're fucked in the head and need counseling, because you are literally doing something that even Adolf Hitler wouldn't do.

I don't know if you interact with people outside of the internet but in case you didn't realize conversations evolve and the topics shift as people bring up closely related topics. The actual discussion you could have that is ONLY about the topic and not about anything related is probably about 5 posts or so. Should we just god damn lock it after then?

[Grenadiac]

i think you are overreacting a little even if that post probably wasn't worth a ban

Yeah except on this forum the topic always shifts to fucking video game references, every time. Even if they aren't related.
It's not really evolving if the conversations always devolves and converges on the same thing, every time.

I could take the time to reformat my argument in a less stupid way, but it's already quoted so there's really no point

The core idea still stands that the community doesn't support it, just fucking quit now because you will eventually anyway.

The community isn't in power, luckily. Just because a bunch of people think something is funny doesn't mean the mods want it here.

being fair, usually the mods who pull shit that causes messes like this don't last too long. at the end of the day it was a short ban though. Was it retarded and did Steve make a really poor call? Sure. But nothing's changing that except him or another mod, so no use in making a big fuss over it

What are you talking about? What do you mean "mods don't last long?" when was the last time a mod got demodded for banning someone that said something off-topic?

[editline]4th January 2015[/editline]

I'm under the impression a lot of mods also don't want shit like this posted.
