That tantrum was just stoopid. There were any a number of threads to post all of that stuff in, he didn't need to fill the first page up with the same posts.

Seriously guys, most of the mods/staff are very intelligent. You think they don't know about the rop?

You think they don't know we are at war with all islam?

If this site gets labeled as a hate sight the aclu will sue and the gov. will be spying on us even more if they don't shut it down completely.

Think about it.

Who is us newbie?? This is "their" site and they'll do what they damn well please.

As anyone who respects and will die for their freedom. Arfcom can do as they please but we all know who the majority is here. Arfcom is being a little too PC.....

So locking a spammer is too PC? Reguardless of content he posted 8 identical treads in GD with different titles. Many of us may agree with the content, but the delivery method was over the top.

The amount of hate I see on this site towards people just based on what they call the god they pray to is astonishing, and saddening.

I'm with the mods: keep your hate in the designated topics or take it to another website. I can suggest a couple, like NSM88.com (please leave cold).

Hate really doesn't have all that much to do with it. People just don't know how to follow simple rules. Every 10 minutes there seems to be some wise ass who will ignore the tacked thread and post yet again something about ROP.

That's a great hypothesis but I'd like to hear it officially. If true I hope the site isn't keeping a five year IP log on backup.

I'd say it's more like 75% method -- spamming is very much disallowed -- and 25% content, which was, in fact, confined to a few topics due to the plethor a of already-existing threads.

Actually? Maybe you should read the tacked post at the top of this forum, made by EdAvilaSr. It addresses this issue specifically, and was in place before what'shisname decided to have a nuclear meltdown.

Well, It happens to be possibly THE most important topic in the WORLD currently. Consider at least tacking the "couple of threads" allowed. If we're REALLY concerned about bandwidth,one word posts like: tag, +1, IBTL, pwned,etc., could be added to the CoC. If at least a MINIMUM of thought had to be expended to post, the pages wouldn't scroll so fast and bandwidth may no longer be in such short supply. IMO, venting about these savages in GD really doesn't seem to be such an outlandish offense, but I guess if we're running short of space we must limit conversation on teh topic.

First off, this discussion should not be in this thread, but in one of the preexisting islam threads. This is why the guy got banned. Second, and in light of my first point I'll be brief, not all nor even the majority of Muslims hate America. I don't hate Muslims. Who I hate is the terrorists, no matter their religion or color. There are Christian terrorists in Northern Ireland, who have slaughtered the British, and they are as putrid as any Muslim terrorist in my opinion.

Sorry, but the troller was wrong to spam the forums with his racist hate messages. It was not only in violation of the rules of this forum, but morally reprehensible.

ETA: Big difference between the Irish wanting independance, and the ROP'ers wanting the destruction of all non-ROPers.

My caveat is, I also despise terrorism in all shapes and forms and in no way support the IRA's actions. But they are not an immediate threat to the U.S.

Listen, dude, here's some dots to connect: That's got nothing to do with advertising. Alphabet agencies have better crap to be doing. This aclu lawsuit business is idiotic babbling. This is just much shitstorming about nothing.
If this site was going to get sued, it would've been sued a loooooooooooong time ago.

IMHO this is pretty fucked up....I understand business, but the notion of an ACLU lawsuit is ludracrious.

Stand up for what you believe in, period.

Man up, mods....attacking any religion, race, ethincity is wrong...and I have not seen that here. But I have seen threads being locked for no good reason. Having 2 threads that are buried to discuss the topic is not sufficient.

My 2 cents...
