:twisted: If Michael Ball dies, we're f*cked :shock:

After that MJ thread, I regret not sending the boys round to resuss him :doh:

:twisted: He is.

:mad: Neil that is not even funny !

Yeah I saw that...all of this mind boggling and back to his best stuff was rubbish...the dance moves were good but he hadn't performed live in a long time and hadn't sung live for a much longer period

LMAO :lmao: If Johnny Depp dies I'm leaving this forum for a month :))

Wonders why she bothers with this forum !

I am seriously thinking of a hiatus !

Then again nobody would care if I did or I didn't...

After a forced and enforced hiatus of my own...I find this hysterical...thanks to all who has entertained me just now during my very limited computer time these days...

Neil, Emma finally found something you've posted that wasn't funny...I would be extremely proud of yourself right about now if I were you...

welcome back...from wherever you weren't!

Thanks, I am actually going back there...lol

actually quite relaxed TODAY!!! and thinking of having a nicorette gum (11 months since I smoked)

just a quick question to the mods, i thought we wernt allowed to use racist or offensive language on this site. am i correct in thinking this?

Yes I believe they are, I am still livid over those comments in the R.I.P Michael thread, if a mod looks on here I beg you, please can you remove those words ?!

Thank you !

I wondered that too...

ditto!!!

oh the thread is locked that was yesterday in the words of the song "for crying out loud" and this is today. and with the immortal word of the songs by the eagles "Get Over It"

Now I understand why I have a little odd feeling and insomnia..

It's a full moon.. :D

Figures, my most popular thread would get locked

Dont I deserve an award? For "Most popular Thread thats been locked"?

I think I do

Yes i always thought we weren't allowed but i think the rules have changed and its ok for SOME people to do it and to insult other members and generally act like schoolyard bullies without any punishment!! I just hope the new members that join (replacing the ones that are leaving because of this) dont read these people's comments and think we are all racist bullies i know i've left sites straight away cos i have read something on my first visit and never gone back!!

CHSIB

I can´t understand why the mods don´t react to some people.
Others have been banned for less!!!!!
It fascinates and worries me that some people are allowed to insult people in the worst of ways and they just get away with it. Several times, again and again!!
Personally I gotta say that I stopped reading regularly and posting a few weeks ago cos I just couldn´t stand anymore what was going on here (and still is! Hang on, it even gets worse these days...)
I had so many things to say to certain peoples posts but because I didn´t want to go down to their levels I chose the, in my opinion, wiser way and stayed away.
I loved this site, met a lot of great people on here and at concerts etc. Some of them even became close friends of mine and I´m proud and happy to have them as a part of my life!
But this site has become a forum for people with no respect for other people and their opinions, a forum for people with an apparently very weak and pathetic social life and sadly a forum without any rules or at least different rules for different people.
I don´t think the meaning of this site is to make you feel uncomfortable or even angry when you read stuff on here but that´s what it actually does for weeks now!
It´s a shame how fast all this here went downhill, especially when you think about how simple the ways to STOP it are!!!!

Yeah I think it's really ridiculous that I post a new thread and it gets deleted before anyone gets to read it but people that use racial slurs are still allowed to be a member and post more nonsense. :mad:

looks like ive missed something important last night....shame

bloody brakes.. hate doing brakes

now the brakes are broken :angry:

I'm coming back to this here in this thread - I'll split this into an extra thread if needed ...

Well, given the nature of content in your two threads - I don't think it's ridiculous at all. With regard to the now closed MJ thread - we really don't need any explicit details of what MJ was accused to have done. People who are interested in this stuff can use Google or Bing anytime to find this "information".

Kinda difficult to start an answer here, but let's see ...
Since beginning of this year, there have been roughly 15000 posts and 15(!) of them have been reported. On some of these reports we reacted, others we ignored in favor of a more relaxed forum moderation. I can only speak of me now, but during the last half year I have approximately read 10% of the above number, because I simply had no time. And that includes those reports above. That said, it would help us big time if people actually reported what pisses them off. This is way more effective than analyzing each and every post for possible offenses. Other than that, we'll try harder to moderate more efficiently and less relaxed than during the last year. That's a promise.

Thanks R..
Indeed I always forget about the damn report button!!! :doh:

There are many things I always forget.

I sometimes forget to fini

Where's this Bing suddenly appeared from anyway?

Yes it's very ridiculous and the first post was a stupid accident and I didn't make any racial slurs :mad:
And I'm very much aware that Google or Bing exists so when other people start threads about MJ you should probably inform them of that as well.

:twisted: No, but you did post two threads about MJ, one of them with a link saying that MJ was guild of child abuse (and I found the details of what Jordan Chandler accused of him explicit and blatantly sensationalist to flog a few papers.Believe me here folks, the details given in that article made me want to hurl my lunch and bleach my eyes) and the other claimed that JC had "come clean" and admitted he's lied.

I PM'd you why I removed the threads, and I said that anyone who is trully interested will have no problem finding both of them on the net.

You even admitted to me that you had not even read the first article before you copied and pasted it here.
Let me say that again for clarity.
You posted an article giving disgustingly explicit details of what Michael Jackson was accused of here on the forum without even taking the time to read what you copied and pasted.


You agreed with my decission to delete the threads and the reasons I had for deleting them.
No infraction was given (or a warning, or even a negative tone).
No foul, no penalty.

Now you are complaining about it here on the open forum.

If you have any further issues about why those threads were deleted (as the forum rules stipulate, any disagreement with a mod decission must be handled through PM and not posted on the forum) feel free to PM myself or another staff member to discuss it.
That way you might avoid another public bollocking like this and save your blushes.


ANY further MJ threads posted on this forum will be closely watched by the staff.
If we decide the content is likely to lead to a row, we'll delete it.
As soon as it looks like it's going that way, it'll be locked.

The only reason I have said anything about it is because none of you done anything about the racial slurs so save your blushes. And yes I admit that I stupidly posted the first one by mistake I have nothing to blush about I think it is the people who are running this forum that has every reason to be blushing.

The post in question have been dealt with. If you have further issues with the way the forum is run, post your feedback in the appropriate forum area and leave this thread for people who want to post their thoughts.

Thank you.

has had a good day today

thats good Chris

OMG...just cannot sleep !!!!!!

far far far far too much alcohol

(or maybe too much poteen)

was that the reason for your text last night?

i didnt get a text...tut tut

Then don't go away :lmao:

got loads done today,shattered now,hopefully will sleep tonight...if not got nice bottle of wine in fridge...lol

that was a much much much smaller fire than last year... still big though

Can't cope with Playhouse Disney any longer :panic:

Why have I lost 2000 VR points in Mario Kart Wii last night. Bloody hell

the brakes have beaten me... more tools required
ie... someone else will have to do them :-P

Agreed on all points

tell me about it! it feels like there is a slight degree of bullying going on from the mod to RHstoned above. especially as this thread states "post your thoughts" and that is exactly what he is doing. it seems to me that the mods have messed up recently and are now trying to silence anyone who questions their moderating.

Yeah it does feel that way. It's a crying shame I can't post my thoughts without being bullied by the mod team.

Thank you for realizing that.

That's what I was doing posting my thoughts at least that's what I thought I was doing perhaps you should show me the proper way to do that. :roll:

wonders how long it's gonna take before the hateful emails start coming my way after the vid I shared...

why? although to be fair with how this site is at the mo, i'de take no notice if i were you. insults and mocking seem to be in favour. i liked it :D

I don't think he is talking about this site...

I think Zina's right... though I still say take no notice. The videos - Paradise especially - are fantastic! And you have some great girls singing with you too. If "someone" feels the necessity to spam someone else's videos on YT, that says more about them than it does about the video they're commenting on...except in confirming the quality of the tribute act ;-)

How long does it take for a program to appear on ITV player after it has finished on ITV? :-S

And why does it rain each time I think about hoovering the car, and stop raining whenever I'm doing something else??

about 30 to an hour, on virgin mdeia box, i dont know about internet

You weren't really posting a thought but more like having a conversation.

the biiig problem with working from home is you've gotta get yourself motivated...

i don't know what you mean...whenever I need to work from home it's the only time I seem to have motivation to do all of the ironing, the hoovering, and clean the kitchen and bathroom. And this must absolutely be done before I can possibly do any work...

lol i know that feeling...

Sometimes when I've really gotta get something done I decide to spend a sunday morning at the office. When I'm all alone there I get something done in 2-3 hours which would take me all day at home. (I have a feeling this will be the case this sunday as well)

I bought a new car today!!!!!!

nice one... hope i'd approve of your choice lol ;)

pud's a vvveeerrrrryyyyyyyyy slow typer lol

I am :( and I usually get distracted halfway through writing something by one of the Mini-Puds demanding food.

and you didn't ask me first?

:D

I hope so too! It's a 2009 Ford Fiesta Titanium, 1.6 litre, all the bells and whistles....

I'm sorry hon, I didn't realise you would be paying for it!!! lol... :-P

I'm always paying for something...mentally,physically or monetary

Good, I'll have the invoice sent over :D

Could you buy me a new car and send him the invoice too? ;-)

i've decided car buying is my calling, since I managed to get £4k from the dealer for my 7-year old Peugeot 206cc.... Book price for one in excellent condition is apparently £3800.... :shock:

when you threaten them with a baseball bat they pay anything :))

Congratulations!!!

Ford????

Wonder if there's a clue-ette here ...

Apparently it's a special version with bells and whistles instead of a horn ...

Dave

since when is my multi region dvd player not able to play region 1 discs anymore??

thats a very very very high stage... i'm very surprised he jumped of that one lol

BIG EARTHQUAKE last night, 7.8 on the richter scale, about 4-5 where I live, biggest one in 78 years apparently :shock:

---> NEWS

Two questions:

1 - Did you fall out of bed?

2 - If so, was that before or after the 'quake?

:lol:

With 3 small kids I don't go to bed :( I'm on standby 24/7 :))

any damage?

JFK JR's airplaine crash was TEN YEARS AGO?? :shock:

apparently the earthquake caused $15 worth of damage hehe

Oh no! Did something land on Pudding's copy of ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~'s CD?

$15 not $1.50!

I meant HK$15.00, of course ... :-)

i wasn't expecting that

Beer, home made chilli and Bruce Springsteen live on the radio, doesn't get much better than this.

Well it does, could be there at the show, or listening to it without the annoying French DJ ...

what?????? no pizza??????? :shock:

You've not had my home made chilli :))

getting drunk tonight bloody well need it the moment

Mike arrived safely :mrgreen: - pls don´t leave any chaos hon

In Emma's absence I am holding up the side for being still awake far too late into the night.

AND I have just returned from the supermarket, which either earns me brownie points or indicates I am crazier than I thought.

Was lovely and quiet though (I HATE going on weekend days!) - only saw two other customers, both as I was leaving. Never seen so many staff and crates and boxes though.

Problem is ... I'm going to have to return tomorrow anyway as I thought I had suitable wine and I don't - and they don't seem to sell alcohol in the middle of the night. Have people for dinner (that is, I am feeding them - it's not that I was unable to find anything suitable to eat in the supermarket so am turning cannibal!) tomorrow evening AND Sunday evening, so the wine is a necessity!

my head hurts

hey how come you got green writing!?

cause I'm smarter than you :p

now do as I say and you wont get banned :bleh:

No. i can do whatever the hell i want :twisted:

:twisted: RJ, I think you've found your test subject for your ban controls :devil:

I see congratulations are in order for RJ's recently elevated status :-)

:idea: Hmmm ... I what's the award in infraction points for insulting a mod? :devil:

There are plenty of reasons why it's a good idea to go to Asda in the middle of the night. It's quiet. The roads are quiet. The shelves if not stocked are in the process of being stacked. There are barely any other customers. The staff are all pleasant and helpful and don't act as though you are an unwanted interruption to their day.

There is a very big reason why it's not a good idea to go to Asda in the middle of the night...

For a start, when I got home, I couldn't sleep. But more importantly, I was then woken by a text message, FORTY MINUTES before my guests were due to arrive!! I don't think I have ever showered, cleaned the house, and started making dinner (including dessert which technically should have been started much earlier in the day!) in such a short amount of time! (actually, this kind of preparation usually takes me all day...maybe I should do it more often! haha!)

Berlin, U2, German beer...all in all a great combination for a weekend...great show, Olympic stadium is something else...great show though too many songs from the new album

whoa, so we got some new mods?! right-o... :twisted:

Woohoo Mike! Glad you are there safe and having an ace ace time!

oh yes - sorry congrats to RJ!

thanks helen! and as a thank you I've moderated you right away :))

Lets hope they're not shit.
