PI punk aside.....I'm curious to know how many other posters got a PM warning for keeping this thread "on topic" with all the pointless drivel after my post was admonished that merely pointed out to a blind man what the intent of this thread was.

Inb4 crickets as suddenly "feigning seriousness" doesn't matter on this thread any more. 8)

Somebody banned him but left the pi up though
I did. That's what you get for spamming some poor guys info all over the forum.

I called that guy and he said he is you.

1. I would like to be approved for one of my great counting threads where I count, starting with 0, and post consecutively in each post as others cheer me on.  These usually go for many pages.

6. I would like permission to pen. test the sites security.  Web application only, for now.  No damage would be done.

Please answer Arnox.

1. If people really want it, I may just make a global spam thread for you n00bs.

6. Sorry, no. Don't worry. This goes for everyone too.

What is the point of allowing alts? What possible reason is there for someone to have more than one account?
Why don't you just set a maximum image size restriction instead of relying on users to upload something 'reasonable'?
Remove image signatures all together, they're fucking annoying, is there a 'show signatures' option in user settings?
Offensive avatars should also be restricted. I'm tired of seeing Guy Jumps Through Gaping Asshole gif, and Look At Me Goatse avatar.

1. There isn't really. Which is why it's punished.

2. There are global image size restrictions.

3. Yes, there is. Disable them in Look and Layout.

4. Eh... If you adblock, you can just block whatever avatars you want from there very easily.
... I hate it when dagayru/specfag makes good points. Arnox you need to fix these issues so spec can go back to ranting about complete nonsense. No matter what you do, hes gonna rant. But when hes making some sort of sense, you know something isn't right. I will say that his first point, spam, doesn't really qualify. Spam is advertisements or literal gibberish. Nothing else. Stupid posts are not spam they are stupid posts, by definition. That is something I doubt spec will ever concede. So when he says take spam seriously what he means is moderate like a forum nazi until its only posts he likes. The rest of his points were pretty spot on.

2) It isn't "obvious" what child porn is. Its not even obvious by conventional laws in most places. Is a 12 year old girl spread eagle in a nudist resort CP? I think so. Legally it isn't in most places though, not if she isn't doing something sexual. Just make the rule this: a) No nude under 18 pics no matter what the context b) no under 18 sexually suggestive pics with partial clothing (bikinis etc.). There, definition problem solved. I mean, technically the latter isn't CP by any law, but really, who the fuck wants that shit on here except pedos.

3) Err... apparently daguru can only count to two. And yes, all rules should be written as if you were a lawyer, they need to be completely clear and not open to incredible amounts of interpretation.

4) Blings sig fucking sucks and I think everyone hates it. Hes just trying to be as obnoxious as possible clearly. And I know I can disable sigs, but its only his sig I want to disable so far.

5) Zek should never had been modded. Huge mistake. Really big mistake. What was the logic involved? Since girls always get modded, and hes the... ahem... the closest thing to one we got, he should be automatically modded? If you knew anything about his prior posting history, his mental illnesses, or fuck, his life in general, there is no way you would have modded him. Clearly, you are not vetting your mods properly. Zek is 1) mentally unstable and 2) almost certain to abuse any sort of power he has and 3) totally irresponsible. He abandoned his kids and spent what should have been their college fund on growing tits for himself. Does that sound like a responsible person to you? No. It doesn't, and that's just the tip of the iceberg with that one. Really bad call. Hes one of the last people who should have ever been modded.

And a note on alts, I think they should be allowed, depending on their purpose. I mean, ban evading shouldn't be allowed, but there were plenty of alts on totse/zoklet that lead to many lulz. Most of them were just gimmicks (rolf) and mediocre at best, but some of them were pretty good. I have always been against a blanket no alts rule.

1. The line in the first rule of the Site Rules, 'posts which do not add anything to the thread', is probably the most contentious bit right there, honestly. It's kind of too general though so we might have to make it more specific. Out of all our rules actually, Rule #1 is definitely the most debated over rule.

2. "a) No nude under 18 pics no matter what the context b) no under 18 sexually suggestive pics with partial clothing (bikinis etc.)." Hm. This could actually work.

5. OK,

   a. You don't really know if it's Zek or not and she says she's not so that's good enough for me.
   b. Even if she was, she's been a mod now for about a week or so and she has been perfectly fair and nice. In fact, much more lenient than I am. Just ask cats/niglet. :P

I would like to get pre-permission to make an alt account by the name of Arnoxisatransvestitelovingfaggot.

What do you need it for?

I'd like to use a blank username and become a nobody. Just try to respond to a post made by no one. You can't do it. "Hey.. you... you... you... never mind."

1. There isn't really. Which is why it's punished.

Posting potentially embarrassing content in S&A, chemical synths or Q&A's you'd rather not be associated with in LT, procedures/tests/experiments and so on in BB, hypothetical (yeah, right) discussions in BI (Hiding behind a proxy and so on presumably. Your main account could already be compromised in that respect). Maybe you feel you have too much history/baggage with your current account and would like a fresh break but still want to keep the old one at least partially active. If someone causes mischief, shitposting, habitual derailing, ban evasion (on either account), etc..., with their alt account then that's different.

Otherwise it would seem to be a case of:

Q: 'Am I doing anything harmful?'
A: 'Well, no, not at all... but we're going to fuck with you anyway.'

I suppose it's a moot point if someone has an alt with a different IP address and keeps quiet about it.

If someone wants to have something posted anonymously they're free to PM any of the mods or Arnox.  Doubt anyone would take issue with posting it, so long as it was something worth posting.

I contest the no bestiality rule. I was banned for posting a link to the Mr. Hands video. That video is not illegal. Bestiality is not illegal.

So stop being a puss.

...In most places it is actually. I don't know about the actual videos being illegal, but its certainly not legal to fuck animals in most countries.



Excuse me, watching videos of people having sex with animals is not illegal.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoophilia_and_the_law_in_the_United_States#Zoophilic_pornography_in_the_USA

Private ownership of bestiality material is not illegal in ANY of the 50 states.  The ONLY territory of the United States it is illegal to privately own bestiality is...the Virgin Islands.


So Arnox, would you care to comment? I'm not trying to rabble rouse or anything, but come on. If it's not illegal why is it expressly forbidden? Being immoral is not nearly a good enough reason, 'Zek.

So much for anonimity.
