Updated rules

It's very simple: content on a page which is repeated is bad for Google rankings.


It is fair. But it's also hilarious, given that people are given a warning for having too many quotes but aren't for posting racist abuse.

Well, as you say, racist abuse doesn't harm the visibility of the site.

Quite who wants to read a certain poster's fantasies is another question, though.

Paulina is incredibly long winded. She's worse than I am and that's saying something. As Billy Bunter would say, she's like a sheep's head, all jaw. So it's a relief to think that the three quotes rule will help to curb her longest monologues.

First prize for being succint and to the point goes to Rozalinda. I bow before thee Queen of the Forum :))

The three quotes thing though is a bit too controlling. However Minnie has spoken, he needs to get his power needs met somehow God love him, so that's that. Happy Easter to all! Yes, even to Minnie and the Mods. May they live long and prosper :)

At least she stays on Polish topics, doesn't reprimand us boys every day like she is our school mum, and some of your posts have been just as much of a sheep's head as hers.

Love ya dearly Ms. Atch but you of all people shouldn't be judging others for windy posts.
Especially after you have had a breakfast of prunes and oatmeal.
Rozalinda is my favorite too.
Both intelligent and humorous.

why thank you both!

Much quoting / much ado about nothing. The majority of people DO NOT NEED to have each and every sentence or question quoted- they can relate to the questions in a single thought. Just like in a conversation - when you make your point, you don't quote the other person's exact sentence to make your own point. Besides, PF is not a courtroom.

A better version:

@Chemikiem - The rationale is that most readers are discouraged by excessive quotes (they skip/don't read them). Second, it's a waste to duplicate the EXACT message (ie. a quote) that was posted right above because it forces mobile users to scroll to read a NEW message. Finally, now you can scroll with the POST FORM and you can see the exact post when you reply to it (and don't have to remind yourself what you're trying to refer too).

Far more readers are discouraged by the vile racism that has unfortunately become the main thing that PF is known for. Why do you warn people have more than four quotes in their posts but not for posting racist abuse?

To comment myself as a user of PF I would say that over quoting is something measurable while defining a "racist" is highly subjective particularly since the likes of you routinely abuse the term itself by applying it to everyone that you personally disagree with regardless of the topic at hand.

No one needs you to be bullying others into silence with false charges of racism simply because they don't conform to your highly distorted leftist view of the world.

Yes, I suspect that a ban on racism here would improve things considerably and encourage more Polish posters as well.

I know a few people who have interesting things to say about Poland, however don't post here for that reason.

Exactly and then they start stalking with posts expecting us to defend ourselves against their provoking lies.
Minnie stated that this is not a courtroom but you would never know it when members don't conform to the Bullies.
That is what needs to be addressed first.
Screw racism as racism is just another convenient word like homophobe that the Left uses as a crutch to brow beat the Right with.

More than just a few. If you look at how Facebook groups are moderated in Poland, most of them ban racism. They have much more traffic than here as a result - I suspect putting a stop to racist nonsense here would also yield considerable increases in visitors. I understand the Admin's point of view though, so it might be better to simply put all racist stuff into off-topic.

Typical Left attack words to abuse with like, "racist", homophobe", "bigot", etc.
Have heard then so much being used out of context here that they have become meaningless.
I have a couple of buddies that refuse to post here (Adrian being one of them) because of the gays posting about their sex lives.

Maybe we should hide all the gay stuff on the back page too.

Adrian is banned, he doesn't "refuse to post here".

He is not here by choice is what he told me.
That's my source.
Who is your source that told you different ?

Adrian the Holocaust denier? I wonder how he's bearing up after his recent arrest?

I dare say PF is the last thing on his mind after the last incident he was involved in, to be honest.

He already made it clear that he has no intention of ever posting here again, and he's still banned anyway.

He never denied the Holocaust you liar.
He just said no way were there 6 million of them killed.
See, that is half the problem here......'half lies' and we all know a little lie goes a long ways.


Another half lie, it was nothing serious at all.
You two have just proved my point.
And Adrain is not here by his choice as you have no source to prove otherwise.

Doesn't really matter what he did and didn't do, he's still banned for his threats towards the Admin.

Not sure why you're claiming that he isn't posting here through choice - it seems to me that he has no choice in the matter.

Hint: Nobody really cares 'what seems to you' as it is JUST your opinion.

Hint: Adrian is banned, therefore he can't come back even if he wanted to. No opinion there, just plain old facts.

Why, you did after you posted his personal identification which is a much much worse rule violation then what Adrian did.
Wasn't that your third violation for doing that.
Casting the first stone are we.

Don't ask me, ask the Admin why he's banned. Perhaps he didn't take too kindly to being threatened by Adrian, perhaps he didn't want holocaust denial crap on here, or perhaps he simply thinks that Adrian isn't worth having on here.

Well you seemed to be the authority on why until I held your lying feet to the fire to back up your opinion with a source.

Now let's talk about how many times you have been banned and what they were for.
Separate posts for each one so we don't get confused with your half lies and pointless merry go rounds.

He'll never take responsibility for his conduct. After one very long long suspension he came back pleading ignorance as to why he was even suspended to begin with.

Consider the source Bieganski, he is mentally ill.
He always doubles down when he is desperate.
He gets banned over and over and over and it still doesn't sink in.
If nothing changes, nothing changes.

Yes, there was a time people like him were put away in institutions for their own good and the good of wider society. They are so lost in their own world they don't care how badly they affect others. Some like the member in question though do know and take a perverse delight in the toll they take on others.

People like him need boundaries and structure for everyone's benefit.

Since this thread is about updating rules then perhaps apart from deletion of inflammatory posts or long suspensions user privileges for those who only come to troll and incite can also be restricted to say 3 or 5 posts within a 24 hour period and even limited to so many characters for each of these posts.

That way they can still participate in the forum but hopefully become more judicious about what they say and keep it strictly relevant to the topic at hand.

Interesting admission there. What's it like being "badly affected" by a forum? Have you considered a hobby, such as a job?

Of course not, but you tried this once before, to have posts flow as if in a conversation, and it didn't work because the 'conversation' as such requires all participants in it to be online at the same time which is not possible. Conversation will be disrupted when posters reply the following day or many posts later.

I agree that there is no need to over quote but restricting to 3 quotes per post or said posts will be binned and warnings given seems ridiculous. So this means that I can write a couple of well thought out on topic posts containing 4 quotes, get a warning and have them binned, but I can talk to my hearts content about w.hores, faggots, s1uts, n1ggers, **** etc and if having a bad day, tell a couple of people in random to STFU, and not incur a warning. I would like to know why you are not addressing the problems here that many posters are complaining about. I don't post here as often as I used to for this very reason, PF has become more like The Jeremy Kyle Show, but with no sign of Jeremy to address the problems.

Personally, I would also be far less inclined to read lengthy posts with just a single quote at the start, but that's just me.
