bush_cheney2004 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 We'll see how that works out. Oh so scary be such threats.....must be a scene out of GoT. Economics trumps Virtue.
msj Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Fat chance....you just created a wonderful new play thing around here. Thanks ! If this is not an admittance of threatening future troll like behaviour (if not implying past) then I don't know what will wake up the moderators. Suspend him for crying out loud. If a believer demands that I, as a non-believer, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy.

Guest Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 I knew it would all fall apart eventually. And you would have told us, but that would have been a spoiler...
Derek 2.0 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 So I removed Shady's status update, which contained a significant Game of Thrones spoiler. And now Shady and Bush-Cheney-2004 are mad about it. Anybody else want to voice their opinions? -k I don't watch Game of Thrones, maybe I should if it elicits this kind of a response .........none the less, I would assume Shady's post was a reaction to something exciting happening on the show well watching it live, no different then someone posting here well watching a sporting event and commenting on someone scoring a touchdown or homerun etc..........a human reaction to something exciting, and though it might have ruined a surprise for those recording it, it wasn't his intent to ruin people's lives. Kimmy I'm assuming watches the show, likely recording it to watch later, and Shady's excitement destroyed Kimmy's life........as a response, regardless of Shady's status update wrecking the lives of GOT fans, Kimmy reacted in anger and abused her moderator "powers" by deleting Shady's post............ Maybe, those who's lives that have forever been ruined by Shady, in future, when recording their most favorite wizard show, should avoid social media sites including MLW, until they have watched the latest episode........so as to prevent being gutted by spoilers by other fans of the show......and MLW moderators shouldn't delete status updates by excited fans of the wizards and dragon show.
bush_cheney2004 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 I don't watch Game of Thrones, maybe I should if it elicits this kind of a response ..... I don't either, but I think it has lots of violence, sorcery, nudity, sex, and boucoup killing. Many of the characters probably have pubic lice. But apparently it is a big mystery what will happen each episode and some people live for that. Economics trumps Virtue.
Bryan Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 The real douchebags are the "no spoilers" people. The show aired already, it's not anyone else's responsibility to protect you just because you couldn't be bothered to watch it yet.

Amen...the whole world doesn't stop just because a GoT episode has not been viewed yet. Economics trumps Virtue.

At what point is one aloud to talk about the show, now that rules on spoilers are being made up on the fly? Does one have to wait until Kimmy posts a review in a topical thread before said show can be discussed?
bush_cheney2004 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 So a modern day I Claudius.........where in the forum rules does soft core jerky porn spoilers grant the moderators the ability to delete members posts? Beats me....I wonder if they protect Caligula too ? Horror of horrors would be revealing what happens at the end of Debbie Does Dallas. Economics trumps Virtue.

Problem solved ! Economics trumps Virtue.
Derek 2.0 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Beats me....I wonder if they protect Caligula too ? Horror of horrors would be revealing what happens at the end of Debbie Does Dallas. Thank god MNF is no longer taped delayed for the West Coast..........I'm sure status updates would then be ban worthy
bush_cheney2004 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Thank god MNF is no longer taped delayed for the West Coast..........I'm sure status updates would then be ban worthy As reported in a previous thread...I have two unopened Blu-ray box sets of GoT season 1 & 2....Xmas gifts (funny in a different way). I guess they are worthless now...except for the sex scenes. I wonder what other significant cultural content from HBO, Showtime, or Netflix is a hot button ? Economics trumps Virtue.

I guess they are worthless now...except for the sex scenes. I wonder what other significant cultural content from HBO, Showtime, or Netflix is a hot button ? The TV series Spartacus was really well done.............by Jupiter's cock though, I won't spoil the series for fear of moderator sanction. In all seriousness though, I think this incident should elicit a response from Greg........I didn't see Shady's update, but I'm assuming outside the spoiler that ruined the lives of GOT fans, Shady didn't post anything that under normal circumstances Charles or Micheal would delete or sanction.......
BC_chick Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Kimmy reacted in anger and abused her moderator "powers" by deleting Shady's post............ I don't agree with Kimmy often, and I think she can be pretty confrontational for a mod (though she's very sweet off the boards), but I'm going to have to disagree with you here. Spoiler alerts without warning are a crap move. It's very bad internet etiquette. I'm totally #TeamKimmy on this one. It's kind of the worst thing that any humans could be doing at this time in human history. Other than that, it's fine." Bill Nye on Alberta Oil Sands

Spoiler alerts without warning are a crap move. It's very bad internet etiquette. I'm totally #TeamKimmy on this one. As I said, it boils down to the mens rea...... was Shady's post intentionally meant to piss people off or was it a reaction no different than someone posting that their team had scored or their favorite actress won the Oscar etc..... Without seeing the actual post, I have no way of knowing Shady's intent........as such the push goes to Shady, and Kimmy overstepped and is doing the exact opposite of her intended role.

Without seeing the actual post, I have no way of knowing Shady's intent........as such the push goes to Shady, and Kimmy overstepped and is doing the exact opposite of her intended role. Whether he intended to piss people off or not, he pissed people off. I was not the first-- he already had one angry reply before I deleted it. Removing the offending post-- whether it was intended to offend or not-- and directing Shady to the appropriate thread on the Arts and Culture forum, as I did, was in keeping with the rule regarding respect and courtesy to other members. If Shady can't deal with that-- if he felt that having his five-word-long post deleted was a tragic loss to the world of western literature-- that's for him to decide. -k (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
bush_cheney2004 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 The TV series Spartacus was really well done.............by Jupiter's cock though, I won't spoil the series for fear of moderator sanction. Agreed...great show with all that sort of fun, but not a big secret from week-to-week. Netflix would let me stream all episodes in any order, so wouldn't that be a spoilin' ? I think we had some discussion about that and other shows here years ago and it wasn't any big deal. So what's so special about GoT ? Economics trumps Virtue.

If Shady can't deal with that-- if he felt that having his five-word-long post deleted was a tragic loss to the world of western literature-- that's for him to decide. -k And yet you decided that his post regarding GOT was offensive..........because he spoiled something for other people.......for a tv show.......about wizards and dragons and stuff........ In my opinion, your response would have been justified, if for example Shady's post had of made use of racial slurs against elves or sexist comments directed towards pixies and witches........barring that, in my view, and I'll gladly await word from the Mountain top (not a GOT spoiler) from Greg, you abused your "authoritah" over a spoiled tv show....... Grow up.
bush_cheney2004 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Actually, the member is a paying subscriber for cable and HBO premium services, so it is perfectly reasonable to express his view about an episode as a status update, just as many have done here for other "content", sporting events, elections, etc. Must be something very special about GoT.... Economics trumps Virtue.
WestCoastRunner Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 I have been under the impression that status updates were not monitored nor moderated and now I see a lock on a status update. I've never seen that before. I have seen much worse disrespectful posts under the status updates including some of my own and I have never received a warning for anything I've posted in the updates. If spoilers are going to now be deleted in the status updates then perhaps other disrespectful updates should be as well. Can we be consistent here? I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
bush_cheney2004 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) ...If spoilers are going to now be deleted in the status updates then perhaps other disrespectful updates should be as well. Can we be consistent here? That's the issue....there is no consistency here...it is a "bolt out of the blue" because somebody with super powers really likes GoT. I guess X-men is not such a favourite movie franchise.... Edited June 6, 2016 by bush_cheney2004 Economics trumps Virtue.
Derek 2.0 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 If spoilers are going to now be deleted in the status updates then perhaps other disrespectful updates should be as well. Can we be consistent here? Agreed 100%.......we have a thread regarding GOT, that Kimmy posts in (which is fine).....if spoilers are now to be moderated, does she decide when the show can now be spoiled?
