Wasteland - will someone...

[eyup]

Yo dudes - don't suppose someone can be arsed to explain posts being put in the wasteland - the wikki is very poor on it. Are we being watched?

[WildCowboy]

The eyes are everywhere.

[Grakkle]

Just think of it this way: post something useless, and big brother will see you! I expect we'll see this thread in the wasteland in a minute, no offence.:D

If you don't get banned, you will learn by experience to read the rules.

Basically crap like this asking why your thread got wastelanded, usually will end up in wasteland -- it is usually a race to see if the member will also get wastelanded. :D

Edit: Hint, PM a mod to see why it got wastelanded. It isn't a public debate.

Ere - what about the stone the builders rejected - and all that?

So we're being oppressed huh - if the government can't oppress us, then get some sucker to do it for them. Cuh Maybe it's got somat to do with Macs goin intel :rolleyes:

[Sun Baked]

Yes, everyone is out to get you.

In my deeply humble opinion don't you peeps think threads should be left to die their own death without some cheap imitation oppressor flexing their fascist fingers to do it for us?

I am not speaking for naughtiness and abuse but the odd pointless or absurd thread.

I merely mention this because I believe it to be true.

Nope, I like cheap imitation opressors. :)

P.S. Send us a postcard from the Wasteland when you get there! :)

The person who owns the forums (arn) sets the rules...if you don't like it, you're welcome to go elsewhere. Most of us like things just the way they are...it's why we're still here.

This place is run by commies. If you want a democracy, you're in the wrong place.

See, this is what the wiki would note as a path that leads to a banning.

Absolutely. We need to worry about important things. WildCowboy, what have you been doing about the vodka quality control recently? I just discovered that there is 100 proof vodka. Why do we not have this across the board already? Who would want 80 proof vodka?

Erm. No. What with post counts earning specific privileges it seems to me the wasteland is very necessary.

As for wastelanding the wasteland, besides violating the law of conservation of matter, such a wastelanding would deprive me of far too much entertainment.

Well, the last thread you started was incredibly pointless. Trying to be banned within your first 25 posts?

As a former cheap imitation oppressor, you have to remember that these forums are owned by an individual and things are handled by the rules. Perhaps, you read some of them when you registered. Be glad that things aren't done with an iron fist or you'd already be gone.

You'll have to ask max_altitude about that...I only ensure the quality of the stuff he passes along to me. I then pass it along to dcv, who dispenses it as the requests come in.

I'm sure the lightweights who are ordering it won't identify themselves, so we may have to start an investigation.

Oh God bless you - There ain't no commies anymore - they've been replaced by AMERICANS.

(This is a random discussion about anything.)

I say we skip the investigation and go straight to cultural rehabilitation.

And by cultural rehabilitation, I mean, tell DCV to line the shots up! :)

[thedude110]

And boom goes the dynamite.

[mkrishnan]

This is the least guilty I've felt in a long time for threadjacking™. In fact, I feel a sense of... I don't know... almost... patriotism! :D

You mean an American Democracy? At MacRumours? Hmmmm......you may be on to something.....

You are all going to jail.
