Staying "On Topic"

Since when did responding to a mod's post become an "off-topic" pointable offense? Originally Posted by I B Hankering

But to have WU trying to establish what’s “on topic” is a fools errand. Originally Posted by bambino

It’s a pretty clear choice. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

The "Notice" thread is itself an example of how that particular rule was/is not being enforced and replete with "off-topic" exchanges between the mod and forum members, who, to my knowledge, weren't and are not being pointed as I was, i.e., "asymmetric" (per kehaar) enforcement.

So now been off topic generates points? Originally Posted by bb1961

It can. It’s been a guideline since the board was founded. I always issue a warning in the thread first, and if it doesn’t fix itself, sometimes I issue another, sometimes not. If after the warning, I see a hijack that is intentional and egregious, points can certainly be issued.

Not me. You’re tilting at windmills, lustylad. And you need to figure out whether you want to learn how play by the rules or just whine about it.

I do not appreciate the accusations. However, I understand why you might be so frustrated. But that’s on you, man, not me.

Here are 10 of your posts in the past month alone, whining about so-called whataboutism or hijacking. They're on you, not me.

Tell it to the judge, lustylad. Not one of those posts violated anything. You know good and well what I responded to the accusation you made in post yet are playing word games.

Seems like you’re sore because you can’t straight up insult people under the new rules. But that’s between you and the board owners. Not me.

Hope you’re feeling better soon, and can stay on topic.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

It's obvious your posts serve two purposes:

1) They let you duck any serious debate by claiming the other guy is off-topic.

2) They give wakeup a new basis (you hope) to issue infractions against posters you disagree with.

I think I can say that having read the back and forth between the two of you on this topic that LustyLad is the clear winner. Plus, he is much more likely to stay on topic than you.
However, I think all the members of this website are fine people, fine people, you included.

Of course you do.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I guess 'the last word Lucy's" have to be carful ....

I agree. I have tested the limits and got a few warnings and then a small points infraction to show me he is not playing. I have figured out the new "line" and am trying to stay on the good side of it.

Nonsense. There is no "line". Wakeup ain't no sports bookie. There's only a blurry spectrum at best, ranging from light grey to darker grey. But hey, keep letting wakeup know what a good boy you are. Stay on the "good side" of that imaginary "line" in your head.

Richard Kinsella is far more interesting than you'll ever be.

I will say I have had a few debates on what the new rules are with him via PM's.
I agree there is a bit of gray area but at the end of the day it is his dick and he can wash it anyway he wants LOL

I hope I do not get points for that last comment.
