Free Speech

[melvinlizard]

Does Wackbag cripple users or not? I only ask this because a month ago when I came here, I could read the posts, but as soon as I saw one, and logged in to give my opinion, it took me 10 trys to submit 1 simple post. I was redirected to some FAQ page. Isn't this against what the boys stand for?

[Tax Kuntz]

No, because O & A don't run the board.

There is a time frame between posts where new users can't post back to back to prevent post whoring.

[Boba Dousch]

done and Done. Close this bitch.

[melvinlizard]

what

that BUF card looks awesome.

[Hoagie]

This is a private, fan run message board. O&A don't make the rules, we do. If some guy walked into your house and started to call your wife or mother a cunt, you wouldn't allow him to continue because telling him to shut up would be restricting his free speech and be against what O&A stand for, would you?

[melvinlizard]

Does wackbag cripple user accounts or not?

[abudabit]

Are you fucking joking? You think your shitty internet connection is the fault of the board?

[melvinlizard]

No, I think it odd that I can read any page I want, but when I log in nothing works.

[abudabit]

Either you did a horrible job describing the symptoms or you have a bowl haircut and a big tongue.

[Hoagie]

Does wackbag cripple user accounts or not?There are restrictions for newer users. It forces them to familiarize themselves with the board before posting too much and restricts attack attempts.

Edit: looking at your usergroup, you shouldn't have tose restrictions. If your having problems with your account I would PM Zagman and see if he can help you.

[Wrecktum]

Stop Downloading kiddie porn then surf the web useually a lot less problems

[abudabit]

Except he is saying he wasn't able to post 1 post. It would take 10 attempts to effectively submit one. Sounds like he has a shitty dial up.

[zagman76]

aren't you logged in and posting right now? :huh:

[melvinlizard]

so newer users who log in, are lesser than people who don't log in? It seemed that I could read any thread I wanted with no trouble. When I logged in maybe 1 out of 10 times a page would load up.

[Hoagie]

It shouldn't do that. There was obviously a problem. Are you still having the problem?

[zagman76]

so newer users who log in, are lesser than people who don't log in?

not at all.

It seemed that I could read any thread I wanted with no trouble. When I logged in maybe 1 out of 10 times a page would load up.

I think that is something with your connection/isp/browser/computer - your account is no different than 3/4 of the accounts here. Perhaps you're viewing the site through a proxy of some sort, and that is slowing it down?

Nice thread, deek.

I've heard that Australians have an average IQ 5-10 points less than the world average.

[zagman76]

(I am moving this thread to the appropriate forum)

[melvinlizard]

aren't you logged in and posting right now? :huh:


You just blew my mind.

I have come to WB, and I have said silly shit in the past, I can admit that.

I have come back, and can view any thread I want, but when I log in. I can't, that is what made me start this thread.

But if you are posting now, you are logged in & you can view the thread.

What is the problem?

[abudabit]

This reminds me of working technical support getting calls from 70 year olds.

[melvinlizard]

my problem is, that in the past, there has been a difference when I am logged out, and when I am logged in. This has happened on multiple occassions, and note how this thread is being moved to the side.

like i said before:

try clearing your cache, delete your wackbag cookies, switch browsers...

if you were coming from AOL, I could tell you right away that that is what the problem is - AOL does some really funky routing/caching, and a lot of people have issues with it from time to time.

[abudabit]

and note how this thread is being moved to the side.

And note how you're a mouth breather.

well - this isn't the past - this is the present.

can you be a little less descriptive there? i mean - things are sometimes... you know... like...

i moved this thread to the appropriate forum 15 mins ago. a discussion of a person having problems navigating the board doesn't belong in the 'O&A General Discussion' forum.

by the way - you do recognize that there is a difference between one dollar and one cent right?

You won't tell us if you're still having the problem even though your account seems to be working fine in this thread. And you're complaining about the thread being moved to the proper forum. Gee, this doesn't seem like you are not posting because you have a problem, but because you have an agenda, doesn't it?

[Show Reference]

Do you understand the difference between .002 dollars and .002 cents?

[striker]

he's not alone, I had the same problem for awhile also. The site would load very very slowly, or only half the site would load. I am on MSN with a DSL line so that's not the problem. One thing I have noticed is that if there are a shit load of people on the site it slows down. He needs to try again later.

That would make sense considering he linked this thread on dot net as soon as he made it (and everyone there told him to take his bitching somewhere else, too haha).

I've been banned from this board for months for fighting with someone who is, himself banned now, and I still have never had a problem with loading pages, etc. Well, I was exiled to the detention room and wasn't let out for half a year, but same difference. You'd think I'd also experience these "limiting" attacks on noobs.

[Hoagie]

That would make sense considering he linked this thread on dot net as soon as he made it (and everyone there told him to take his bitching somewhere else, too haha).Ok, I changed his usergroup (to Banned) so let's see if that clears up the problem. Tee hee :icon_mrgr

[abudabit]

Ahhh, fun thread while it lasted.

[striker]

there are a few people I would like to see banned, how much bribery would it take to make it happen??

[Tax Kuntz]

can we still make fun of retards in this thread?

[Sunsetspawn]

That's just hurtful sir.

[Hoagie]

[Premarital Sex]

Not even I can agree with this guy. The only thing i'd agree with him on is that there shouldn't be a difference in speed/problems between being logged in under a particular name and being a guest.

Maybe logging in gives him an extra chromosome?

[Hudson]

can I take the gun out of my mouth now?

[martianv]

Is this the wrong time to suggest that Hitler had a few good ideas?:angel:

[SOS]

Don't think that you are somehow smarter than everyone else. Your agenda was pretty clear and playing a victim, well, without having any cause for it, showed some sort of grievance with us for some unknown reason that is not settled. Please do not be afraid to tell us what you would like changed but don't try to hide it is as some scheme that is ill conceived and you cannot follow through with. If you have a problem, we would like to contact us personally and discuss it with you before you do something foolish. I know some of the policies on wackbag might seem wrong but let us explain to you why they are in place.

If you feel that you can do this, we will probably unban you.


New posters have some posting restrictions due to the facts that some people do need get a feel of wackbag and we need to get to understand them and by seeing how the new member post, we can better accommodate that person. The voting restrictions are for only those with the smallest numbers of posts and have been here for the shortest period of time and are automaticly removed after a person has passed the bar. If you have trouble posting a new thread, please contact a moderator that is online at the time an explain what you would like to add.

During infrequent Peak Times, wackbag may experience some sort of lag times which may be corrected by going into the bare-bones Pat Battle Mode(PBM). This is only temporary and some features will not function at those times. On other times it may just be your connection to the Internet. Whatever the case, this is only a message board. We try to make it as interesting and fun as possible.

p.s. i knoe

Damn, you fixed it!

wackbag is not the only message board out there...

[Crankin_Aussie]

I've heard that Australians have an average IQ 5-10 points less than the world average.

I just want to point out that this jack off is not representative of Aussie O&A fans - he is probably not even white!:icon_eek:

On the other hand a window cleaner over the road took a two storey fall off his ladder about an hour ago, so maybe you're right:icon_mrgr

For the record I have never had any problems logging in or posting when I decide to do so.

[abudabit]

I know, I was just busting his balls. He was a .net troll.

[commish13]

I just like that the thread's title has no bearing on what the thread is about. This isn't America, it's the internet.

Yes they do. I have had the same problem. If you voice your own opinion and that goes against what the majority believes, they don't ban you, but they put you on some kind of list as to where the site runs very very slowly.

It will take several attempts to log in and you will need to post 10x for it to take.

Simply put, nothing against wackbag, but there is no such thing as free speech.

Free speech in this country at the very least is speech that doesn't offend anyone. If it offends someone's beliefs, then you are screwed.

Nothing is free in this world.

yes - you are 100% correct :icon_roll

actually, the entire board votes on it right here (http://127.0.0.1)

-edit- better yet - why don't you go to Kevin Smith's board at ViewAskew, and try to tell the staff there how to run their board

[HummerTuesdays]

Wonderful idea. Can we model WB after that board, and require $2 from every new member? :)

[todaysturd]

I am not sure what the problem is with you guys.


Some people are for free speech and the freedon of expression, regardless of the moral value.

I remember when the guys were thrown off the air for the St. Pats cathederal, I thought that bit was excellent and they should NOT have been thrown off the air.

People get offended too easily and they want to gag the person that upset them rather than deal with it and follow their own beliefs.

I don't care how wackbag runs their site, it is just another site that sensors what is said, just like everywhere else.

This message is for all the douches on the internet. The right to free speech means the government will not censor you. It does not mean you can go onto a private forum and say what ever you want. If you are spamming or trolling or just being an ass there is no constitutional right that says the message board has to allow your assery. Get this through your self important entitled heads.

Also I really doubt there is a slow down list. I'm not the greatest system admin in the world (or even a good one) but I don't think most servers are set up to be able to do that.

No. I'd allow him to continue because he has a darned good point. :icon_mrgr

I think this thread has run it's course. abudabit's post is an appropriate ending.
