Title: Skuzzified topics
Post by: ebfd11 on July 19, 2010, 09:14:22 PM
I know I have seen a trnd as of late with the Skuzzinator in action. Everyday when I log in I see at least 2-3 topic with the title "Nothing to see now move along". I think Sir Skuzz should change it to "This topic has met Skuzzy and Lost", sounds a lot better and a little more humourus.

BTW most topics shut down because of rule number 6.

Till then I :salute you, Lord of the Boards, Sir Skuzzinator.

until my very first topic was shut down because some kids on youtube swore in the comments (like we or i at least even read them and take them for anything...) i couldnt figure out what was with all the "nothing to see here move along" topics. always seeing that title made me go into the thread to see what it was... i was actually going to start a topic asking what it was...

It would more appropriate if the titles were;

1.  "I read the forum posting and do not care" or
2.  "I cannot comprehend the forum posting rules and do not care" or
3.  "I really did not bother to read what I linked to, as I do not care if it breaks the forums posting rules"

I see a trend.

'Comprehension is not one of my skills so I don't care'
'It's cool on Facebook so why isn't it cool here'
'It's a free country and I can say what I want'

I do not envy you your job sir.

I think I've had about 2 locks, one was just for a link with no description, the other put me on probation for a year which kinda peeved me because I've seen things a whole lot worse, but I think it was during a short period that Skuzzy was really cracking the whip around here.

There are so many forum posting rule violations in this thread, if I cleaned it up there would be nothing left that made any sense.

I am just awed by the sheer number of drama queens in this thread.  The, "OMG, save the chillen" to the "Let's see what I can find to really shock them" to the "I am a numpty and should have ignored this thread" types are simply overwhelming any possibility of have a sane discussion.

There are days you guys make me feel like Oprah mixed with Ellen.  It's just mind-boggling.  The numpty factor went ballistic in this thread.
<--anyone remember this post? :D i'm happy i didn't say anything in that thread...

If you read most sites before posting you will find it is better to copy n paste than link to anything. That way you have control on the content.

That means no youtube videos..... I mean if you read all posts and there is nothing that breaks the rules, then post a link here..... someone may come on the youtube site later and post something that breaks our rules here. Absolutely no control in a link. Also means don't post links to news sites. Most of them have open comments.
Title: Re: Skuzzified topics
Post by: trax1 on July 20, 2010, 11:40:54 AM
Yeah I think were quickly approaching the point where a new rule is going to be added about not posting links to anything that has the option of comments to be posted, which would suck and probably kill about 50% of the topics people post about in the O'Club, but I understand that they're running a business, not a forum and the game comes first.

I think Skuzzy is a professional at the "Whack A Mole" game.....

Case in point. I recently ran across this picture. On the back is inscribed "Skuzzmaster"

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2HBkygLLeWE/SmJZhYNwmeI/AAAAAAAAAE8/wg2xr4922dQ/s320/whack-a-mole.jpg)

So don't be a mole. :D

I always wonder about the parolees. I reckon the only way to achieve such status is to come in loosing a string of f-bombs or racial epithets. Such a thing strikes me kind of funny, even as I recognize the need to quell it.

That last being, because, as with people, it's much easier to separate soul and body than to put 'em back together. Let me illustrate.

I belong to another bbs - a Yahoo E-group of former Flint-schoolers. These were tall ship sailor/students back in the 70's/early 80's. There was a guy there I knew while aboard who had a problem with encropresis due to the fact that he was extremely anal-retentive. For those who don't know, encropresis is a process by which wet, more mobile bits of ker-rap flow past the large plug of built-up refuse that blocks and desensitizes the anus of the retentive. The result is that they sort of ker-rap their pants little by little. Of course, when you're on a pair of relatively tight ships with 100 other people, others start to, uh, "become aware" that you've got that problem. Indeed, in that guy's case, people thought an animal had got aboard, at first, because they were finding random dookies all over the ship. Thankfully, I was amidships on the "other" ship. He was fo'c'sle on his.

Well, here we are, 30 years on. The guy with the former encropresis problem (probably still has it, for all I know) gets kind of mouthy (wordy and critical) in pixel with a former fo'c'sle inhabitant. That was a mistake because, when push came to shove, the first weapon to come out of the drawer in the resultant flame-post pi**ing contest was, "Hey so-and-so, did you learn to wipe your prettythang yet?"

Things spiralled downhill from there. Neither one participates in the group discussions any more.

So, you see, Skuzzie is helping to ensure that no one here gets inappropriate like that.

As for me, I saw that one coming - and laughed and laughed when it hit. It reminded me of a cartoon in which the cat hides an anvil behind his back. You KNOW he's going to drop it on the mouse first chance he gets. I also think it regrettable that they let something like a little flame war deter them from participating - especially when the guy who dropped the anvil was living in H'burg Pennsylvania so broke (and alcoholic) he had to keep his heat at 50 degrees last winter. Surely that was a rope the mouse could've tied to the cat, threaded through a knothole, then attached to a runaway train outside.

I saw that once on PunkinPuss and MushMouse, btw. MushMouse tied PunkinPuss to a rope while he was sleeping, then ran the rope through a knothole and tied it to a freight train. Of course, PunkinPuss got dragged through the knothole and ended up looking like a piece of spaghetti. His comment after it happened was priceless, "I feel like I just got dragged through a knothole".

Viva cartoons violente! Viva James Coburn!

More on PP and MM from: http://www.toonopedia.com/mushmou.htm

Insulting stereotypes of African Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, and Americans of practically every other ethnicity were well on their way to being excised from the media in 1964. But the insulting stereotypes represented by Punkin' Puss & Mushmouse (like those of the later Hillbilly Bears) were aimed at residents of the U.S.'s Southeastern region, and that was (and, to a large extent, remains even today) perfectly acceptable. Despite their political correctitude, they didn't become outstanding stars.

Anybody who has parolee status on here got that because they were PNG'd from the board prior to when they changed the forums to their current design back in 07 or 08, after they changed it an unforeseen issue arose, anyone who had been previously PNG'd from the boards were suddenly posting on the boards again, there was no way to fix it so they all received parolee status from Skuzzy, it didn't take long for some of them to show why they were PNG'd to begin with and found themselves PNG'd again.
