I find there seems to be a group of people who only post in STB to create conflict and don't actually contribute anywhere else.

Be sad to see it go for the "genuine" shooting the breeze topics which are still of value.

Phew, for a minute I thought they were going to ban discussion on bitcoin, AI and 2 stroke carburetors.

Thank god

trouble is, then there is no funny images thread? then again that recently got infested with CT nutters too, just a pic with all their crap written over it and nothing funny about it.
It all started with Brucie and we told u to ban him...

Here's an idea - allow users to access only specific areas. For example, Pugwash can access Shootin, Tootin and Windsurfing.

Other members, born again members, born again again members, born again again again members - members that only like to talk about flat earths, and chemtrails, and 911s (not the good German sort, the American sort), vaccines, more vaccines, COVID, their opinions on COVID, their opinion on vaccines, something some turd talkin head said about vaccines or covid or vaccines or covid or vaccines or covid or chemtrail vaccines - yeah, those folks - they get access to only one, new area of the forum. Heavy Weather reborn and renamed THE ECHO CHAMBER. Once all are in, close the door, lock it, throw away the key and there they may stay arguing about 2001 or 2020 or whatever to eternity.

Close it but keep funny images thread going

Again, Laurie's house, his rules. Too nice, too tolerant for too long, self regulation hasn't worked.

Keep the breeze and dump those who repeatedly anti-breeze. Long live the breeze.

Agree. I just miss the fantastic/constructive discussions we used to have in this area relating to science, engineering and philosophy. Now, the discussions always seem to degenerate into insanity. I think the moderator is wasting their time re-explaining rules.

So:
Posting any stuff that falls into the "heavy" category will result in an instant permantent ban.

omg this is going to be a blood bath ahahhaha honestly thanks this should really help

cause some of it.... theres just no helping if they could of been helped it would have been done by now.

anyways i for one look forward to this change just make sure you pin this thread for a few weeks so theres no "oh but i didnt read it" situations
or even pin a thread title ANY heavy weather topics = ban

I would think another moderator or an elected council would fix the problem: made up of Carantoc, Fangman, Mark Australia, FormulaNova, Remery, D3 and Brent in Qld.

That's a bit harsh. I wouldn't say the problem is made up by Brent in Qld.

The others - meah, fair enough.

Self regulation hasn't worked, because no one who regularly reads or contributes can enforce the guidelines.

Pretty easy to not engage in it though. Fairly easy to just ignore rule-breaking posts than to respnd to them, and even respond to them by directly quoting then dot pointing a counter-argument.

Isn't that right Carantoc ?

o Firstly,,,, Yeah it is, although it is more nuanced.
o Certainly, here are some examples of why you are wrong and an idiot.
o I hope your favorite dog loses its favorite toy and has to chew on a plastic penguin, you numbskull

Not really intelligentsia, I was thinking more of a council made up of normal people.

You mean you know what normal is????
I guess you must because I'm not on it

This post is to officially advise that you've been added to the proposed elected seabreeze moderators council.

Subsonic said. Then you'll have to change your avatar back to that weird 3d blue smiling avatar dude that you had way back when.

Haha mate you have a good memory
that was a photoshopped Rohan Atkinson as an Avatar character. Creepy as hell
Can't find it but google shows some similar ones. the existing is called finger head and that gives interesting results and apparently it's something u can pay a bit extra for
