Boards
Announcement.
no more threads entitled 'so-and-so is a prick' and, similarly, no more threads made to insult a fellow board member. it's malicious and it's fucking awful. you're saying these things about people you've never met.
anyone who does this will get a warning, and if there's a repeat performance, a ban.
i'm aware that a lot of you embrace the fact that there aren't many rules on DiS and i would genuinely hate for this to become a sea of tranquility, filled only with lolcats and compliments, but the level of hostility on these boards has become too great. you all should be grown up enough to debate something without resorting to personal insults.
FIRST!!!!!!!!

fishplums is a bellend
Hahaha
"you're saying these things about people you've never met" - I don't really get the pertinence of that.

cryptic!
maybe slightly too so
I thought it was good
But he started it!
okay, cap'n
No one really cared.
If you stopped being such a snide misanthrope on here no one would have cause to consider what you've said in the past, regardless of your username.
I replied where I meant to reply.
You started a thread quite recently that was a snide attack on PocketMouse, something I found fairly funny given she's the only poster with as similar a set of crazy views as you have.
You seem to have also got the impression I give a shit about you being nasty to others or not. I don't, I just like to know whether I'm reading posts by the same troll-like person or a new one, which is why I take note of such things. It's also why people bring up your past: because you still continue to post stuff (which I label misanthropic) that is really about belittling as much as you can the sort of people you see on these forums. Given the futility of doing this except to try to irritate people one can only assume that's why you do it. And given that it's not surprising if someone else posts, "Don't take what she says seriously. She's the one who tried to argue blah blah blah" to try to diffuse the situation for the more hotheaded users.
I can't really decide now whether you are deluded into thinking it's not you it's just everyone around you, or it's just an impressive piece of trolling to play the martyr like you do. Not that it matters, it just interests me. :D
please stop replying to yourself.
You're like a stupid magpie or something.
i think that what you need
is a couple more mods
i concur

How is life treating everybody?
no' bad.
You?

Exams and the reprisal of christmas spirit
Plus I did a good deed on friday, thats my fourth of the year, its unprecedented and my limit is usually 2. Ideas on how to cancel the debt with a big event of "bastardness"?
Make a succession of poor taste jokes about Heather Mills
at your local Paraplegic Convention.
...
Good idea, but what i they start throwing prosthetic limbs at me.
Some f them are quite tough/ have bolts and shit on. I wouldnt want to be "that guy" that was given a pasting by the one armed, legless guy.
I think I cancelled one good deed by laughing at the term "flid" really loudly in a lecture (its a real anatomical term! meaning short appendage. Everyone turned around and stared.
bloody nanny state
;)
aye,
and i'll save the hassle for anyone who's thinking of using the word 'totalitarian' to look big and clever.
So implicit attacks on TheDailyBumbler are okay?
negative
He was being a cunt though.
Nasty boys
Will the first person to do a "Fishplums in a prick" thread get banned?
is*
even
:'D
So i'm assuming it's okay to make hate threads about DiSers you've met?
we havn't met tony, so keep it shtum.

GANGSTA
i had to skip back because i thought he said "they call me Shitty Capone, i make ladies moan"
but he just says "Shifty Capone" :(
i used to fancy those guys so much
so glad i wasnt the only one
it was purely based on the butterfly song aswell
Damn...
I thought this announcement would be in regards to cheap wholesale nike shoes.
can I just ask
if there's any reason for this - specifically now I mean?
people do this kind of thing all the time, always have on here since I can remember. Why the hard-line now?
marty left
how does that factor into it?
Where'd he go?
Back to the future?
lol!
^5
I still don't understand how that would cause a 'one warning then banned' type announcement
it does every so often
it's easy enough to step around the dogshit rather than get it on your shoes though
I don't know if I agree that the metaphor extends that far
I mean, sure it would be nice if everyone could just get along but you cant really police people into it - if they think someone is being a cunt to them then they should be able to call it like it is
and if people are going to dish out abuse they should be able to take it too
I mean, we're all adults aren't we?
...
such airs
thanks sherriff fishplums!
The full stop in the title means it's serious
i agree though
You're "pal"ly with martbowski, right?
DAMN. I missed this.
PS
I proper don't get it.
Don't take this as me saying martbowski's a knob cheddar or anything, because like I said, I'm totally Switzerland on DiS - I don't take sides.
But you're crying your eyes out because martbowski got slagged off. The same martbowski who, as I'm sure he'd admit, is one of the rogues cos he's always slagging people off.
And you're actually not even joking when you say you're gonna ban people who do exactly what he's been doing forever - just because it's now happened to him.
I don't understand you one bit.
- baddy is bad to people
- moderators say 'its just how he is': fine by me
- people are bad to baddy
- moderators say 'enough's enough - any more and we'll ban you'
reyt den.
I know you are, you said you are, but what am I?
it's not even about mart.
someone posted a thread yesterday entitled 'TheDailyBumbler is a prick' in which people took the time to decide whether they did indeed think this guy was a prick or not.
in the past, mart's done it, and other people have also done it. mart isn't exempt from this.
He is though
The unsolicited absuive PMs he's sent to sent to several posters is testimony to that
^ This
You're being a little bit naive.
http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/social/4148570#r2641090
I agree with you in that this place needs bad boys to make it entertaining - but it also needs the people these guys insult to be able to respond to it.
Now shut up and kiss me.
that's not a very nice word, is it?
I should wash your mouth out with soap and water.
Still, I love how you capitalised "him". Its as if you're saying "Fuck God, and fuck fishplums" which is most rebellious.
I applaud this.
Can't we just close the boards at weekends?
And between 7pm and 7am.
Royter-Hatfood is a fannyface
best idea yet
I agree.
why doesn't your gang just make your own forum or something?
I think you should leave this place and just create a private one where you can all talk about hilarious bamos youtubes and London-centric pints.
That way, us loser kids who use the boards at stupid o'clock wouldn't have to wait til the evening for it to become fun, and you wouldn't have any pesky kids to complain about. Sorted.
good thing
Where have you gone?
i'm still here
hey Brusma I realised this morning that I don't have "Von"
W.T.F???
i'm not your record collection manager
g-g-g-g-good thing.
Thats fair enough fishplums
it must make us look like a hate filled forum to outsiders, and discourage some.........however what if what someone posts is the truth?
rather than just opinion?
sam you're fairly pathetic
er, right, ok
totally - apart from the fact it's really boring, there is enough hate in the world already... SO - - -
spread the LURRRRRRRRRRRRRRVE instead.
Peace.
you can fuck off and all
:')
My hero
this is for you fishplums
http://www.smouch.net/lol/
Is it not safe for work?
If so, semi-serious ban request for doodthatkicksarse please.
NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!
NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN
NEVER GONNA MAKE YOU CRY
NEVER GONNA SAY GODDBYE
NEVER GONNA TELL MAKE ME LIE
Cool, I wouldn't want to stop you doing any of those things
but if you could stop posting links to pictures of surprised looking female genitalia or at least add 'NSFW' when you do, I'd appreciate it.
After this happening to me around 70 times
it just isn't funny anymore.
You screwed me dood!
Is this like when you threatened to ban any user who posted ANYTHING in a particular thread you posted
then didn't follow your own word?
Fishplums and his ego rise again.
Can you just ban everyone
who takes those threads uber-seriously and post 120 times in them between the hours of 2.30am and 4am?
can you ban everyone who says
"night shift is shit and day shift roooolz" or whatever.
DiS has well and truly
jumped the shark now.
I saw that last weekend
After that scene I nearly pressed stop. In retrospect I should have done
I don't really get the hate.
It's still Empire Strikes Back compared to utter shit like Tomb Raider (1 or 2), Van Helsing or the various Mummy movies...
It was deconstructing my childhood
Yes Indiana Jones was always campy adventures, but they took it too far. It was SO stupid. The dialogue in the first three was never clever but it was snappily delivered. In the new one it was like they hadn't been given the script and they were reading their lines from a sign that was just out of their sight line.
Also Shia LeBeuf makes me want to break my own face.
It wasn't a BAD film, it just failed at what it was trying to do. The bit with the alien ship I mean WTF
but cate blanchett was mega hot in it!
it was OK
Can someone tell me what happened at the weekend that was so awful then?
Someone managed to apparently upset Martbowski into leaving? I mean seriously, are people letting themselves get played by something like that or was it something else? Weird...
teenage drama
don't worry.
Think Hollyoaks with out the superficial beauty.
those threads are the best part of this forum
ones about 'whats your favourite sandwich?' 'LOOK WHAT BAMOS AND ME DID AT THE WEEKEND' are far more irritating.
You said you liked my sandwich thread
:'(
i liked YOUR sandwich thread
just people never recreated the magic of that one
...
You ought to have Bamos as a friend on Facebook.
"34 people have tagged Bamos in a photo" - every day.
i think i can only dream of the day that will happen to me
I would like to complain about the full-stop
Full-stop belong at the end of sentences and the end of abbreviations.
The word "announcement" is not a sentence and it is not an abbreviation.
It is either a title, in which case no full stop follows the word, or else it is the first word of a sentence and, thus, given the words that follow and the instructive nature of the sentence, it should be followed by a colon.
I would like to complain about the 'Full-stop' at the very beginning of the body of your
post. you should have said 'Full-stops'
I'm backing fishplums, I know which side my bread's buttered.
I also notice, with some interest, that Ho Fo has formed a sort of unholy alliance with you, this needs combatting.
You mean "factbook", surely?
who jdt or ho fo or fishplums?
i think theyre all on my myspace.....really i should have arranged them so that jdt was next to hofo
Whilst you're at it
maybe you should complain about the use capitalisation. Or lack thereof ;)
To be fair, fishplums has a point....the neh
sorry....I meant to say.....the negativity is suffocating
RISE NEW BUMBLER.....LAY DOWN YOUR WEAPONS. PASS ROUND YOUR POSIES.
neh
I'm evolving, Horsehoof
lol.
Hey fishplums, can I be a mod?
This is the time,
the time for action.
....
I only wnat to help you Ro-Land
Bring me the thread of alfredo garcia
I think you're an idiot
But on this point, brother, I stand with you.
time for another unfunny 'revoloution'?
quick sketch
EVERYONE..................> HATES............> PIGFOOT
keep telling yourself that buddy
i dont hate you at all
you are pretty much the knowledge on football :)
wow
do you really think that?
seriazz question
not withstanding your admirable qualities
the amount of foolish things you post under your pigfoot profile more than counteract that. hate and and admiration are magnitudes apart. to reference a recent example, i admire the singer from the butthole surfersfor his music, however witnessing first hand his complete cockishness more than tainted my opinion of him. seeing him aggressively pushing girls around and even reportedly hitting them absolutely destroyed all his attempted humour and a lot of his prancing around as if he were a bad guy.
i hate everyone who
i have sent a private message to and they haven't replied.
It does only seem to be insulting *threads* which have been outlawed though
Insulting *posts* are apparently still okay, so I think you're good to go.
I only noticed
when I realised half the people in this thread haven't been banned.
Both halves, in fact!
What a day for democracy.
Just PM me!
sounds like common sense to me
yay for common courtesy
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
a mighty lol
p.s.
im not laughing at sophiacherryx,but the thought that someone pays to see that shit

.
this is fun
right?
I would again like to draw attention
to the fact that starting threads which attack other DiSers, are malignant in intent and content, will be deleted.
In other news, I am eager to abuse my new powers of moderation.
did you just delete banman's?
just as I was tucking into a good read?
you bastard!
this is fucking shit.
honestly. this place is gonna be no fun if people start deleting those threads. just watch the amount of users who are gonna quit.
why are people so fucking sensitive?
do you not like pocketmouse?
please dont be a bellend about it
ok
PLEASE be a bellend about it :D
I'm surprised they made you a mod. You've always been pretty funny. They're usually boring and gay.
suck up
I mostly wish DiS was less sexist,
and people didn't comment on or discuss how attractive certain users are. Even threads and posts by KiK and lemonbrickcombo etc. about how hot some girls are really make my stomach turn.
And i felt exactly the same way before http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/social/4143198
thats bollocks though
several girls fawned over TRSTNS picture the other day... its not exactly football 365 round here
What i said was almost gender unspecific in placing blame
so no, it's not bollocks if you're using that as an argument against.
not really that gender unspecific is it?
'Even threads and posts by KiK and lemonbrickcombo etc. about how hot some girls are really make my stomach turn'
yeah "almost gender unspecific"
the "almost" being there because of that example being about male users. But i'm pretty sure there are hundreds more examples of boys being sexist on here and bringing stuff like that up than there are girls saying phwaer about TRSTN and supposedly attractive male users, so not that odd that it happened to mention boys.
And some threads are pretty football 365, like ones about HOT GIRLS FROM AROUND THE WORLD, "woah, Serbia is unbelievable" and comments about klaire's tits and stuff. Eugh.
yeah but its not almost anything. its gender specific in that you talked about boys being sexist towards girls.
and do you know why theres more boys saying girls are attractive than girls saying boys are attractive? because theres more boys to be saying it.
basically i think you should just man up
"man up"
Gawd, your phrasing is so LOADED with patriarchy.
get back to the kitchen
hey baby
you can lift my heavy box
nope, the premise of what i said was pretty gender neutral
only my exemplification wasn't. Even proportionally i reckon there's more sexism by male users. Female disers are treated very differently from male disers by the social board as a whole. And i don't see how that doesn't reflect that lots of boys (and some girls) have different attitudes for different genders, which is pretty sexist.
people that spend all day on the internet
not so great with girls, on the whole
well yeah i didn't say there was no such thing as gender
I just think it's backward and detestable when people are pervy (profile views list being full girls who have usernames implying their sex, and fucktherave) and people have different perspectives for users according to their sex, even if it is favourable to women. DiS is definitely less sexist than the rest of the world though.
i cant help it if im popular with the ladiez of DiS
and if you are saying DiS is less sexist than the rest of the world, why complain here? surely the rest of the world needs your views and that?
yeah people being pervy is a bit scary... but thats not about sexism
cos when everything evryone says and discussses is documented
in such a coherent and organised way, you can draw fairer and more exhaustive conclusions about it. The world is like much bigger and complex than this, and doesn't reflect the views of people on here. I also don't have much of a public platform to spout off feminism and i'm quite shy.
im just saying moaning about how sexist DiS is, then actually deciding its more just pervy
but better than real life for this is somewhat pointless
How sexist it is in relation to the rest of the world is pretty irrelevant
in deciding whether it matters if it's bad for it to be sexist. I never decided it's more just pervy, you decided that i think. I was talking about how people have different perspectives and standards for men and women on here, and didn't decide that people were just being pervy. Voyerism is related to sexism anyway.
i don't think looking at someones profile constitutes voyuerism
but that doesn't mean can't do it in a voyueristical way. People definitely look up other people on here on Facebook as well and seem like really desperate to know what eachother look like.
tbf tho, the reason you had loads of profile views
probably has more to do with people constantly going "look at how silly fucktherave's hair is" than because loads of girls on DiS are secret perves. (For the record, you have good hair.)
Not to take anything away from you or whatever, but I do think females are less likely to perve over people's profile pictures.
guys are less likely to mispell "perv" however
SCHOOLED.
:(
what constitutes perving?
i doubt anyone really sits there and wanks over profile pictures. It seems to be if a male user looked at a female users profile he'd automatically be perving where as if a girl looks at a guys profile its somehow just normal.
thats SEXISM!
No, of course that's not true. Looking at a profile picture
to work out what the person you're "engaging" with looks like is perfectly normal. Looking at photos of someone and then going "cracking tits, I used to think you were a 5/10 but now you are a 9/10" is slightly more dodgy territory. And something a guy is about 45454272141234567898765 times more likely to say. And not just because of the tits bit.
ha did someone actually say that?
or was that just an example. tbf very very few dissers would make a comment like that.
haha
I like the idea of saying "Well your argument clearly exposes you as a complete idiot, but you've got a cracking pair on you so I suppose that's 15 all"
Well....
http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/social/4147591#r2622027
There ya go fihiki ;) we're 8/10 apparently, sucks to be us.
D'you know what, I was LITERALLY gobsmacked by that whole exchange
I couldn't even begin to think of a reply.
facepalm
I'm not sure whether I find that funny or just disgusting.
If he goes to Jingle All the Dayer like he said he would, he might get to meet junkstaposition. Poor girl. I can just picture it.
I was torn, I have to say.
The whole thing was just a bit shameless really.
Maybe we should start rating all the DiS guys out of 10, see how they like it...
Yeah, exactly! You just have to admire his brazenness.
:'')
And yes, definitely. I'd love to know what he looks like. Only because I'm pretty sure he's not as unattractive as he claims to be. At least a 5/10.
See, I always thought this
But I'm not so sure anymore, don't know why...
Probably because it's kind of hard to imagine someone who looked like
http://x97.xanga.com/f9cd5600c173494429728/z65957164.jpg (megalolz) say stuff along the lines of "I'd love to have five internet girls rolling around in gravy" and "I'd sell my parents' car to meet one of them".
Instead you'd imagine someone who looks a bit like roadkill.
THX 4 THE PIC!!!
Haha yeah you're right though...
dolly are oyu gonna rate me look
http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/126/7382999.jpg
woulda been better blonde huh
i also wish to be rated
whose boyfriend?
orite.
whatever happened to your love for Kid_A though?
you lack continuity!
Kid_A having a girlfriend shouldn't be a problem if facial hair guy having one isn't.
who was the toilet wanking one?
I made him ugly :(
If he got rid of it, he would go back to being bad then? Because he would be good-looking but would have a girlfriend?
I know, I know...
cunt
no, i just hate the idea of some bitch
stealing her bf's moustache in the dead of night
thanks
oh btw
i'm playing at tommy flynn's in camden tomorrow night. £3. that constitutes a cheap gig, and a better alternative than using DiS
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=42482561197
omg I was so planning on going to that.
oh no, I've turned into all that I hate.
is douchebag gonna eb there all he does is talk about his bizaar sex fetishes
hey dukebox
my prefered pastime at the moment is to go on them video sexchat things and say really unnerving things. My favourite phrase is "daddy wants to fuck"
hwy is it so hardt o find a good man
i guess you got lucky with me
i hope so
but i think dukebox might euthanase me up after a while
I think she meant mine....
Or not then!
:')
honestly
I'm more likely to look at a female named profile than a male named one. Looking at pretty girls smiling = nice.
Which is why Victory Rose proved to be a crashing disappointment.
heh i tend to look at most profiles
out of curiosity, ragardless of whether i assume them to be a boy or a girl.
:(
sorry sweetie
youve broke my spirit
no they wouldn't
because you wouldn't post provocative pictures of yourself and instill your internet persona with sexuality. people read your post differently to what they would if you were a hermaphroditic mysterious internet personality.
even that you get paid way more attention than you would if they thought you were a boy
proves my point. It would be all shocking and amazing if girls on here turned out to be boys and vice versa, and people would reassess their views on them, and not just cos they were weird/funny/duplicitous enough to trick the internet in this way. In fact people fancying people solely from on here is pretty horrible.
there'd be dis couples
they'd just meet at a gig, and the flirting would start there
yeah in real life where their gender and their degree of femininity or masculinity is made apparent by their appearence
and actions and emotions and stuff and on an individual basis. But since all that is quite hard to gauge on an internet forum, and easy to fake and exaggerate, it's peoples presupposed notion of what women/men are like that dictates how they treat them on here. So it kind of becomes oversimplified and a bit negative. I don't know of any DiS couples who had all their courting eachother and stuff on the social board, but then i don't know many DiS couples.
I think women tend to overanalyse
but I think you're right about the ugly chauvanism
llike dukebox
You can't like everyone
Only Jesus and Hugging Woman likes everyone. You are neither
ahhh dis, does my fucking head in so it does
good times

i like that the notion of being decent sparks this much debate.
I was the catalyst for this epic thread...

we could just call you
THEDailyBumbler
A fitting title, I think you'll find
