You're right ajm. It could only happen on a bbs because in real life you wouldn't give certain people the time of day.

Probably as you'd be too scared they would turn round and give you a slap for being a total tool.

One things for sure, you wouldn't be capable of slapping your own thighs, I have no doubt.

What I say here I 'd have no problem repeating, that's the problem, it's poncés like you that are given a level playing field on a keyboard.

Gone quiet here, have all the pedants gone to wait for the library too open so they can check the new books for spelling and grammar mistakes.

Back on topic then

SDW, there were some good posts in the other thread. I think the consensus was to tell this guy outright that he's ruining your chances of getting in clubs. Offer to help him shop for some new clothes and accompany him to the barbers for a shave and a haircut.

If he still doesn't want to play ball then make it perfectly clear that he doesn't "fit in" with you or your mates lifestyles.... so **** off you minger

.......... or you could just tell him that if he doesn't conform to "smart casual" then you wont be responsible for him being turned away at the door and that he's on his own.

Your Uni years are some of the best years of your life, there's no time for nicey nicey, it's black and white. Now get to the boozer for lasties

Can’t go pub got too do revision for systems analysis exam I have tomorrow

As far as situation with the elephant mans ugly brother I think im going to have a sit down with him and explain the situation.

Il try not too be mean but he needs telling and if changes aren’t made hell be on his own. Allot off the suggestions were valid points but also stuff that we have already tried, such as the make over idea (he’s a tight git and wont spend any money on clothes even though he’s minted).

Seems like an abuse of moderator privileges to me.


I agree that the thread got out of hand, but to lock the thread then start one of your own slandering peoples viewpoint and ganging up on certain individuals, which was the reason you locked the original thread doesn't seem right.


Most people use this site as entertainment, now people are worried what can be posted, so as not to upset the moderators.

Lightning, perhaps you should read up on what slander actually is and then come back and post about it.

I think you will find that most people are not particularly amused when their thread gets hijacked and "out of hand" because of the actions of those who seem to make it their mission in life (or on here at least) to find fault with the spelling/grammer/punctuation of others on what is, at the end of the day, a very informal medium.

Paul and Redkop are in complete agreement - presumably you are just as unhappy with their stance?

Of course, if you are complaining because of your numerous links to images, etc, that directly contravene the BBS' guidelines and as such require a disporoportionate of moderator time, not to mention registering a username with the sole intent of creating trouble on the BBS, then please take that up in policy or with the webmasters directly.

Oh I know what slander means

Dictionary definition: defamatory statement expressed in a transitory medium such as verbal speech.

What I meant was you are injuring the long term posters reputation on the board, because you personally don't like the general consensus of opinion.

And normally I would overlook some errors, as we are all human after all, but the original post was barely in english.

And to say that two other mods agree after me arguing that you were ganging up kind of sums it up.


I'm here to have a laugh - and I have as many informative posts as I do pisstakes.

And as for signing on as another user - that was to wind a certain individual up in muppets, as well you know.

Oh and what about the hardcore **** last night - was there for hours, not mine obviously.

I have also apologised to anyone that was offended and will refrain from posting any so called lewd pictures or material in the future.

Lightning - I think the word you are looking for is libel, not slander (or in Scotland -is that not where you are from? - its defamation)

I suspect the long term reputation of those concerned is more damaged by the nature of their posts than anything I could type on here

And in any event, where do you get "general consensus of opinion" from? I don't see any posts supporting the pedantic behaviour.

Are you aware that you cannot libel, slander or defame a pseudonym?

Notwithstanding any of this, what's your issue here? nothing in my original post on this thread was directed at you.

Indeed, your post was actually quite funny

It was those that followed that ruined the thread.

Please don't take this as personal vendetta, as I am not out to hurt anyones feelings, just giving my opinion.


The guy wrote the post then went on to tell people he had a University education.


I also don't dislike any mods, and sometimes they are the ones who I have the best banter with, seeing as they have been on the board for so long they have some good viewpoints.


I wasn't being nasty to anyone and if you'd met me in the flesh, you'd know that I can't be bullied by anyone.

Not taken as one

Take it up with his teachers

Thats good to know, although to be honest we don't do this to be liked

I wasn't being nasty to anyone
never said you were.

and if you'd met me in the flesh, you'd know that I can't be bullied by anyone.

Sad. Always love the "If you met me in real life, you wouldn't be saying that" types Some kind of idle threat against someone you're never going to meet in real life anyway!

Face it. The trend of the demographics of Subaru Impreza ownership now sadly mean that Scoobynet is occupied by a bunch of lower social class, less well educated, uncaring, younger, bunch of yobs who can't string a few words together to save their lives.

Time to find the exits...

Erm - highland laddie - nearly everyone in the scotland section knew what I looked like - this was not a male testosterone battle, or who's hardest.


Just that most people don't pick on me in the flesh because I am 22.5 stone and over 6 feet, not because I act hard.

Unusual for you not to have anything to say. I suspect you agree with me in that case.

I don't think it's strange how some people are defensive at all, look at your own behaviour.
Correct you certainly didn't name anybody specifically, and as I never corrected any spelling or grammar mistakes, I hardly thought it was aimed at me.
My original posting was an observation of the overall quality of a university students posting. Take the time to look at it.

This will be my last reply on this topic as it's clear having an valid opinion on a bbs is only ever going to be valid as long as a mod agrees.
