i think people should just boycott any thread brucie starts.
he is just and arsehole who need a bloody good kicking.
and i dont give a fuck what you type about me brucie. i just know you'll never be brave enough to stand toe to toe.
your a keyboard kunt!

What if Brucie or anyone for that matter presses the report button on the above quote?
This is no reflection on what tyracer said and not a comment on if I agree with it or not. Just think this could cause a whole heap of trouble.

Errrmmm. People are entitled to their opinion. Would be careful how you go about this as I can see one other user blatantly broke the AUP and could end up in the same boat. Ive not even read the AUP but just from every other one I have read I know that would not be acceptable. Lets not forget for the most part this is a pay site, it wont be easy to get somebody out.

democracy.

This site isn't a democracy though.
As has been said, just ignore Brucie and don't rise to his comments if you don't like them. If he is attention seeking, it's worked.
it's all well and good ignoring him FB but why should he be allowed to get away with writing like he does when others are penalised for alot less?
whips
Who has been penalised for less, and what did they do? Do you know the full story behind the penalties you speak of?

Please add names, should you wish, to this list to uphold the complaint I've made... or indeed should you wish to remain annonymous to the forum, copy it with your name to me, and I shall forward to the Moderator I initially contacted.

with you random.
you should all click the 'report profile' link on brucie and get him out of here.

The only person in this thread who puts a question mark over the AUP is you. confused

Not only with the post below but with a bullying campaign to get someone off the forum. We're adults. Ignore people you disagree with. This is unacceptable.

a very valid point, the actions of one person can inspire empassioned responce.
though I see no reason why one who is prompted to respond to the continued inflamatory behaviour of another should be punished
you are right though to make note of the need for caution.

There is no "bullying campaign" here DG, though if it is viewed as that, I'm quite prepared to take the slack on that particular issue.
What is happening here is that once again the bad actions and attitude of one member is creating bad feeling and atmosphere in the fora.
This has been noted on many occessions by quite a number of fellow members.
This is simply noting that behaviour and making an open and honest complaint.
I have no qualms against any individual member.
What does offend me is the continued 'blind-eye' given to the behaviour of certain members.
Ignoring such behaiour from within the forum as a member is, in my opinion tantamount to condoning it.
If I disagree with someone, I can very easily pass it by. But offensive views cannot be ignored.

I agree. However if I find something offensive then I'd complain privately rather than create a witch hunt on public forum. I found the OP highly offensive but since it would appear that it's a pattern that's formed I chose to ignore it.
Complaints are dealt with by Mods or Admin. There's a support ticket button on the left of the forum.

I dont see why not. It's open. It's not offensive. It maight help prevent more squabbles against individual posts in other threads. A peace-keeping measure.

goodness me,
I personally can think of a few people on this sight who offend me by just switching their p.c.s on. That doesn't give me the right to get a petition against them.
There are people who are contributing to a thread and who have actively stated they would vote BNP in another part of this site. I would love to see them banned forever and ever..... not just from this site but from...... well, anyhoo. If Brucie annoys you and inflames you then just don't look at the threads he puts on here.
Move away from his threads, take a deep breath and let the good stuff flow through you.
This is becoming similar to the thread a while ago where I again became disgusted with several people turning on Brucie. He is one person. leave him to it.

Quote by brucie
this is a question not a judgement.
is it normal? every time i pop in to the chatroom there are a few "regulars". they are there everyday for very long periods of time. is it ok for that to be their social interaction (perhaps before the internet they sat on their own?) or should they be doing other things?
im not sure of the answer myself, but im leaning towards "its not healthy but it may be the lesser of 2 evils for these people".
and as were asking questions, is it just me or does the swinging "fraternity" have a larger than average share of "disturbed" people? There are more "xxx has been unwell and has had to be hospitalised" threads than i have seen on other websites. one theory that swinging attracts , in particular, women with low self esteem who want to feel desired and as such are more the type vulnerable to mental illness. ofcourse not all, but more than in other social networks. i have certainly seen that to be the case in clubs/spas.
discuss (but dont shoot the messenger).

Ang on a minute, I objected to the use of some of the terms that were said in his post. People sitting on their own, disturbed people, women of low self asteem, vulnerable to mental illness.
I have used chat rooms for well over ten years now and have also been a chatroom op in rooms for all ages and I cannot for the life of me wonder why he was allowed to make such statements. Yes there may be people on here who spend alot of time alone, there may be people who have low self esteem, and who are vulnerable to mental illness but these people are also on other web sites, in other chat rooms and hey there also in your local pub, high street, work and possibly your neighbours. I objected to the use of those statements and the fact that he had been allowed to use such terms about people that may suffer from them and come on here just for the 'social' side and as a form of escapism.
Sorry for the rant but it really gets my goat when I see innocent people being randomly catagorised for wanting that escapism and finding that even on here people give them a hard time for it.
So before this gets blown out of all proportion by those who say 'Just ignore him' sorry but I have no intention of ignoring him.
Oh and this is not bullying, it was a few people who disagreed with a posting strongly enough to want it stopped.

Well I have to admit to being very surprised that you don't see it.
Very surprised indeed.

For fucks sake!!
Again people has risen to his bait,why can't you just ignore him for crying out loud!!
He has said before on here, that people here are easy to wind up and guess what...they are,but you know what...you really are all a little bit too sensitive.

I have complained to a Moderator.
If Support Ticket is through the Support button on the left, the options I saw there were regarding "change my username", "How do I upgrade" and the like. So the Moderator route was the one chosen.
Private complaint would not have been a viable option in this instance I feel, as I wouldn't have seen the person I was drawing their own attention to as being receptive of that (hopefully) constructive criticism.
A pattern formed of "highly offensive" posting must surely be one to be braught to book rather than ognored, as it would appear to be a constant, rather than a mere 'blip'?
