Please do not...offend... other users

[Grig]

Mind reader you are not, and someone with common sense from what I can tell you are really not.

Why are you banging on about reading minds, it's more or less common sense.

hahaha private information after you mentioned it first. Now you really are just trying to take cheap shots.
Although I agree that the 'please do not offend other users' rule would actually need to offend someone before it was removed.

I thought it was quite obvious my post was in jest

I'm glad you agree though!

Bit like saying we need to wait for someone to die before speed limits are enforced.

From you being burthurt about being told off to you saying the system is flawed when you're not even using the system?

No need to get all uptight, it's obvious other users, including an AGM agree that the rule needs changing, surely logic would suggest that this outcome is precisely the point of a thread in the feedback section.

Well what's the point in removing If no-one will get angry, all that means is that both the poster and the person it was directed to then both get angry, because one has been warned unfairly and the other has had info kept from them that concerns them.

Yes it is. If no accidents happen on a road, why would you need to enforce a speed limit on the basis that someone might die even though there's days/months/years of evidence to suggest that it's only a rare - sad all the same but rare too - occurance (if it all). Same principle with offending someone imo.

edit: I don't agree the rule needs changing. The 'please do not offend other users' is perfectly fine as it is, merely commenting on how it's enforced. I do agree with chippiewill that closing loopholes is a rather pointless exercise because you can find loopholes in any system and trying to close them with more regulation will just create more loopholes so no, I don't agree that the rule needs changing at all.

What I don't get is this doesn't even effect him either way and all he seems to want to do is cause more arguement by the look of things, we aren't originally even moaning at him anyway unless he's a mod in disguise so not sure why he's still pursuing this view.

Don't moan when someone has an opinion that is different to yours! It was posted in the feedback forum so is open to everyone to express their view and that doesn't mean it has to agree with yours whether he's effected or not. If the OP got their way, the rule did change and he never said anything then it'd effect him then!

[FlyingJesus]

Wow I don't think I've seen an argument where both sides are this wrong for a while. It shouldn't even be about whether or not someone is offended by being told to shut up, it's an extremely simple case of someone posting off topic in PAPOY, which we all know has pretty strict posting rules. Whether you said "I like floaty butterflies" or "die in a hole you worthless maggot", the post should have been edited. The fact that the mod got the wrong edit just makes the situation more ridiculous

o need to get all uptight, it's obvious other users, including an AGM agree that the rule needs changing, surely logic would suggest that this outcome is precisely the point of a thread in the feedback section.

I still haven't worked out what you're trying to achieve. You just still seem to be pointing fingers around because you feel like you got unfairly warned.

Unless you're referring to your silly attempt to change the offending users rule which seems to be designed with prevention rather than reaction in mind.

Are you seriously trying to conspire in a public locale? And apparently because something doesn't affect me either:
a) I have to hold your opinion
b) I don't get an opinion

unless he's a mod in disguise so not sure why he's still pursuing this view.

Me modsta.
