You might argue that freedom of speech has been infringed

Freedom of speech is mostly tolerated on these forums, but when it turns to hate speech that's when it must stop. Dirk/Adrian has used PF for his geo Nazi ideology platform for too long, He has outstayed his welcome many times. I can't believe how many people stick up for him and praise him for being such a great guy. It's looks like the old saying "birds of a feather, stick together" has never been so correct.

Travel / Travel to Poland from the UK? (COVID time) [50]

Yes the way the UK govt has handled this crisis is *terrible*.

I agree with you 100%. The UK is only 36 hours away from leaving the EU, there might be new updated information for travellers on the 1st of Jan. Maybe you will be able to pay for a covid test to prove you are negative on the day of travel. Just keep checking the government website. At the moment, they say "anyone living in tier 4 should not travel abroad"

Travel / Travel to Poland from the UK? (COVID time) [50]

I'm getting conflicting messaging saying Poland will allow flights from UK after Jan 6

With the new variant virus getting out of control in the UK, and new cases at a record high, what makes you think Poland (or any other country) will welcome travellers from London, in just over a week's time?

Also it appears people from UK aren't allowed to travel at all unless there is a valid reason.

Not sure if missing your girlfriend is a valid reason. Let us know how it works out for you.

Hi, before a post a question here, can you tell me if this site is still in use?

Please post your question and someone will try to answer if they know the answer.

Feedback / Polish forums members - please stop being agressive and dishonest. What a waste of potential. [48]

You seem to have a fixation about gay threads and gay men lately johnny?

The only logical answer to your bias Moderating is that you are gay yourself.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not gay. Have a nice word with jon and ask if one of his single friends wants a pen friend.

you wanted that thread closed just like all the rest of the LBGT threads that you have closed.

The reason these sort of threads get closed, is because they always end up going off-topic with abuse, and derogatory language towards other members. It happens every time without fail. The forum may be based in the USA but there are rules laid out for members, read rule #3 in full.

This is an American forum and the Mods should respect the American laws and not the E.U. laws.

You claim to have freedom of speech, but do you? Try going up to one of those black guys who's burning down your cities every night, and say stop doing this you moron! Pick one of the biggest guys you can see. Let us know how you get on.

Good Morning Ironside. Did you sleep well?

There are no plans to suspend you at the moment, and you can post whatever you like, as long as it is non-abusive and is in the correct thread. Oh and it would help if it is Polish related.

However I have no indention whatsoever to follow any rules but mine.

Fair play, but don't come running to us if your screen goes blank ;)

Feedback / How to reply to a thread on this website? [28]

why can't I add posts to threads - am I banned or what

Hopefully you have managed to fix this issue. As someone has already said in a previous post it could be a browser fault, try a different one and also try a "hard refresh" to see if it makes any difference.

Might be a good idea to let any potential builder know which city, town or country you reside. Some builders might not bother "pricing" if long distance travel is involved.

News / Poland Sports News [1116]

The tournament format is absolutely ghastly. 23 teams qualifying from 53 when many of the remaining teams were utter rubbish is just a joke.

Which reminds me..What do you call a group of 23 men watching Euro16? Answer..the Scottish national football team;) Poland will improve as the first game is usually tough one, as both teams don't want to lose at all costs, and get off to a good start.

And that does no good whatsoever with no information about which posts got that designation and why. Would it be so hard to PM with a clarification? Apparently yes.

Do you really think someone has the time to go through the trash, to find out why you had a warning 3 months ago? It is up to you to check for yourself at the time of the warning, it's self explanatory that you got a warning for posting off-topic comments on the main forums. Are you still losing sleep after all this time?

Feedback / Why are threads deleted or send off topic list? [60]

Absolutely. Bone ignorant, whoever they are.

We get many "silver surfers" like you on here, but they are not ignorant, arrogant, aggressive and know how to use forums correctly. Please consider joining a local computer club, and doing a crash course on "how to use internet forums" It might stop you looking so silly in the long run.

But my first language is Polish that is why I'm able to answer some questions.

My mistake, I thought you said in another thread, that you have two years experience learning Polish.

maybe he/she thought I have magical powers.

If your post was binned, and you still had a few minutes editing time, then it is possible to edited the post removing moderators comments etc. This DID happen with one of your posts, I wouldn't have said anything if it wasn't true.

Do you mean there are different rules for different people, Vincent?

I didn't say that Harry, so don't blow it out of proportion. I meant exactly what I said in my last post. You asked a question and I give you an answer.

Feedback / Member warning system to prevent abuse / spam / off-topic posts [145]

So is it five warnings and then a ban or the fifth warning is a ban?

Not at all Harry, a "rouge" member might get banned after a few warnings, depending on their past history on PF. Their past suspensions would probably be taken into account too, when deciding if they will be banned for good or not. Hope this clears up your query.

1) seminarium/proseminarium magisterskie

seminar/introductory seminar/ a graduate seminar

ćwiczenia

"physical exercise" (not sure if this is correct)

zaliczenie

in the dictionary it just says"credit" Someone at uni who's a member on PF might give you better explanations if you check back in a few days time. If you find the answers, let us know:)

I've had to look most of these up, so wait for a second opinion:)

1) zebrać szczękę z podlogi

if you are amazed or in disbelief about something, your jaw drops. If you have to pick it off the floor, then you're really amazed :)

2) foch

the sulks

3) which one is correct: help me with or in

help me with is used more often.

4) pierdoła/sierota

bullsh*t/orphan

5) ogórek kiszony- according to wikipedia it's a pickle but it's not

According to my dictionary, kiszony is pickle or marinated .

What makes a meaningless post?

It could be a post that has nothing to do with the subject of the title, and one that probably takes the thread off topic. The threads on the main forums are for discussion about Poland and Polish people.

So we should just post now if we discover something extremelly meaningful, like the cure for cancer?

Unless the cure is discovered in Poland, I wouldn't bother. If a cure is found, then it will be all over the TV news and news papers, so it will be very hard to miss.

Language / What computer keyboards are in use in Poland? [34]

I was wondering if they were genuine (its rare but occasionally even Amazon makes mistakes)!

They are a reputable company, I would hardly think they would make a mistake like that. It would be a lot of unnecessary trouble for them, if costumers keep sending them back because they weren't 'as described'.

Why have you merged my question with this thread? It hasn't been active in almost a year.

Thanks to you it's active again and top of the pile. 'Kot koo' would probably be close enough for her to understand you.
