I most sincerely hope you all find this as amusing as I do...

When I returned to the TA forums just now, I noticed that our friendly neighborhood sponsors' representation had been changed from a red x to a small red rectangle, as shown here:



It took a little investigating, but eventually I found out why. Sometime in the brief period of my absence from the site a <********> block had "mysteriously" appeared after the ad-generating script in an attempt to still display an ad banner in the event that client-side scripting was disabled. This beginner's html trick most often used by peddlers of pornography to attempt to display advertisements on high-security systems was immediately recognized by my css filters and was appropriately removed before being loaded into my browser.

And while it is a little disappointing that the measures I employ to protect my system from unwanted parasites are suddenly being invoked on these message boards, I must also admit that I do derive a great deal of amusement from the sort of pathetic desperation which characterizes the means by which TA's "sponsors" try to get their uninteresting and unwanted message across.

I do hope that TA's sponsors will continue to exhibit the same combination of determination and incompetence in the future. I'm sure it's far more edifying than any of the services that they intentionally provide.

i had 3 sigs removed in the past 3 days, the first one was st andrews anti rule 5, the second one was also talking about censorship, and the third one... well this is the third one:

WHAT?! WTF! WHAT? WHY???

Haha, swamper hates you!

oh wait stupid me it was too long

The sig is back? =)

Anyhow, an idea to inverse the political correctness bullshit of this site. If the reason for banning political sigs indeed is that the sponsors dont want that, why dont we all email every sponsor of this site, and ask them something like: "How can you be the sponsor of this website, it supports censorship? Bla bla bla. I will always boycott your product/service." By that we could possible archieve two things, either the company rethinking if being that anti politics really is a good idea, or the company contacts swamper and wounders what the hell is going on.

Most likely nothing would happen, but i still think that we should do something. Cause we are all politically interested in here, and most of us would agree that this is actually a problem, not only a joke. The political correctness and the fear of takeing sides is becomming an increadibly big problem in society, and we should all do something to stop it, and turn it around.

I do realise this is only a message board and it doesnt really matter at all, but its just that everything should be done to stop this imo quite big problem that we only can see a litle part of here at this message board.

Hey how about banning a mod I would say ban Neo he is pretty old and yea no good prolly

The rule has been in place for over a year - it's not my fault you didn't bother to read the signature rules. This is a worldwide forum consisting of members with different beliefs/political views - some of us like to go online without having to deal with the realities we're bombarded with on a daily basis - for those that enjoy it - there is the political forum. If you don't agree with me, too bad. Your sig is not meant to be your political/religious soapbox.

This is what im talking too, political correctness gone mad!

SO WHAT ABOUT our avatar can that be our religious/political soapbox?
come on you know I think they are being just a bit sensitive...it wouldn't bother me if i saw a pic of GWB with a noose around his neck

This is Swamper's site, if you don't like the few rules he has, go to another forum and stop being so childish.

He created this political forum on TA so you can discuss political / religious topics etc but when you openly abuse the site owner and the team of ppl on here that give thier free time to try to make this site a place to visit thats friendly and open to as many ppl as possible then you become a problem

The mods here are hardly tyrants, we just try to keep the peace and make TA a pleasent site to visit or be a part of.

This thread is now closed because of the petty behaviour of so called intelligent members of TA.
