[optisailor2002]

yessir, sorry boss couldnt resist the temptation :x

 

[theliverevolution]

Okay, actually I would suggest that we stop posting here. We already have settled this issue and heard both sides of the stories and pointed out the falws. we have also come up with a few solutions and what we need to do as SOFTies. So relax and let this matter die? ;3

 

[optisailor2002]

let's get this thread back on topic. is sexual innuendo out of line in our society? the answer is no. and this point has been proven in the past.

caption reads: "MY SECRET TO BEAUTIFUL SKIN? I SWALLOW"

Imedeen's international communications manager Gywn Davies told The New Paper that the tagline was dreamt up by 'two females in London', and that it 'brings a bit of humour and fun into the campaign'. She said: 'We tested the campaign in Singapore and (found) that it's not controversial, but slightly provocative.'

this is a forum for its users. let the users decide what should and should not be allowed. it's not nice to see mods bossing people around, or people getting banned for whatever reason, be it valid or unfair.

always give people the benefit of the doubt. always see the good in people. always see the lighter side of things. view things objectively and don't take things so personally. these are things that we do not owe to others, but are a reflection of our own character and maturity.

i am quite unhappy about this whole issue, both the incident and in the messy way in which it was handled. this is not the way our society works

 

[spinofdoom]

nothings wrong with suggestive innuendoes

innocent people don't see the 'sick' part most of the time

 

[shinobi]

whether or not you can handle sexual innuendo is a question of your maturity. nothing is explicitly stated, in your mind you may see a possible intended purpose, keep it to yourself, the end. no need to glorify the sexual aspect of it.

display some maturity, set an example for younger users

 

[optisailor2002]

if one can see the sick part of a sexual innuendo that person is not a very "clean" person himself.

 

[sage]

Btw since we're on the topic, any idea what I should tell the kids when they asked what that "lucky cucumber" line meant? I don't think they settled with the whole salad scenario I cooked up. :/

 

[AgingYouth]

Wah, I've just finished reading 29 pages and the thread's still going strong.

So, when is the Astroninja album coming out and where gotch sell?

 

[visa]

i think you can find the details on www.myspace.com/astroninary

 

[astroninja]

I think it's kinda obvious for everyone to see that James didn't actually address the suggestions or the scenario while elaborating on how 'easy going' he is. Well, easy-going must mean he's unable to actually read and respond in a cohesive way when the community he claims to love is speaking and voicing out their opinions on how to improve the collective BEYOND the bigotry.

Reminder: This is not about my ban, but the way the policies are implemented, which I would definitely describe as 'ineffective'.

This is a Singapore Music Forum. Repeat: Singapore. I believe it is our right as fellow Singaporeans to voice out something on a public forum. Don't like it? Read another thread.

I think the point of Visa's post has been proven to those who are able to see the situation as a whole. The emperor has gotten fat and self-conceited.

And you have my promises that an alternative outlet that truly represents the spirit of local music (instead of one that serves as one man's gratification) is on its way. I have a track record of living up to my promises. Wait for a month or so.

No 'holier than thou' moral governing. No bias in moderation. No prudish, ignorant ways. No need to suck up to moderators. No restricted topics - You will be held solely responsible for your own opinions. Open-ended discussions permitted. The freedom to attack, defend, enrich, teach, guide, antagonize, sooth, love, hate anyone and everyone. No carpet sweeping too. No moderators too caught up their own butts to listen to the voice of the community.

A true representative to the pros and cons of the local music scene. All to create a richer collective experience through individual growth.

To be launched in about a month's time. Stay tuned!

Cheers!

Levan

And yes freedom of speech hrmm ... its up to each individual to say what ever he or she wants bearing the consequences they will face later on.
its literally impossible to please everyone . u made a choice and people are not happy with but still u have a point to prove by the rules . so yea thats life. and yea u cant be serious saying that using another person account is like using his IC. he mention his name every post so yea.
i dun care if i get owned or what . i am not playing DOTA over here hahaha.. must be dota addicts .... hehehehe...

What if the attacks go beyond musical boundaries? eg personal, race, religion?

 

[meekahsoh]

Astroninja that may be too liberal for the community to handle.

What if the attacks go beyond musical boundaries? eg personal, race, religion?

In that case that would be qualified under flaming? I think it's basic to have a no flaming rule in every forum.

 

[astroninja]

Don't worry we will refine the rules and regulations through open ended discussions. More details soon! Meanwhile, keep skiving!

 

[meekahsoh]

Then again, I feel a greater need to make the rules of the Buy/Sell section clearer. The ad repost rule is hidden in the Guitar FX section, and it's almost an implicit rule. Perhaps we could first work on that section?

Edit: Here's after consolidating some info from some other threads. Perhaps this could be added to the Forum Rules thread:

Suggested Buy/Sell Rules

1. Format
- Use the following abbreviations followed by a short description of the item in the TITLE field to indicate your intentions.:

WTS - Want to sell
WTB - Want to buy
WTT - Want to trade

- To maintain consistency in providing essential information, use the following sample template for ALL trade posting:

Description of Item: eg. Audio Techinica ATH-A900. Closed back headphones (Provide item details)
Condition : eg. 8/10 (1-10 scale. Please read this important thread)
Warranty : eg. Nil. (Indicate if there's any warranty left and the length)
Selling price : eg. $200 firm (Specify whether FIRM or NEG. Indicate other currencies, ie USD, GBP if not in SGD)
Preferred Location : eg. Red line MRT stations or town (Indicate the preferred transact location)
Preferred Mode of Contact : eg. Email me (indicate your choice of contact for inquiry, deal confirmation etc)
Contact Detail : eg. iamaseller@dunnowhere.com (phone number, email address)

-For ease of selling multiple items, please state the items briefly in the title of the thread

eg. WTS: Pickguard, backplates, 3pdt, baseplate, CTS pot, jack+plate

2. Details
Please include all details regarding the ad in your FIRST post. Any updates on availability or pricing should be edited into the FIRST post.

3. Include pix
Pictures should not be too large. Width should be no bigger than 600 pixels.

4. Do not indulge in small talk

5. Most importantly, DO NOT make multiple post of the same ad.

6. Due to the heavy traffic in Buy/Sell and bandwidth limits, there must be at least 4 days between ad reposts.

Even If you're changing the pricing or asking for different trade, you're still selling/trading the same thing. So 4 days in between ad reposts.

With all due respect to original posters.
