Right, so it has nothing to do with the rent moratorium, you just don't want so many asylum seekers around. If so, simply make that argument. No probl...

It's the interweaving of asylum seekers into the issue I was objecting to there, primarily. The rent moratorium debate should not be yet another oppor...

Don't know how @"Hanover" made himself so popular with the likey thingy but there's no way for mods to interfere with the poll mechanism and we'll do ...

Maybe get the money to do that from cracking down on offshore tax havens instead of taking it from the vulnerable and the desperate. I mean the false ...

No thanks.

No practical mechanism for that and tbh I don't think it's necessary. The best story should get the most votes and there aren't enough entries to make...

I guess we can give it two weeks? Or is that too long?

When you put stick in ground and no shadow because sun gone.

Reminder: Deadline is the 1st of August (midnight UTC). Stories will be posted the next day. Good luck!

We already have: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/89/get-creative Non-competitive short stories and other creative endeavours can be posted t...

That can be arranged. I'll be Googling segments of everything submitted before posting anyhow. Regardless of whether the poster is the author, anythin...

Aug 1st. :up:

Mine. I'll be posting the threads, one for each story.

:cheer:

Also, @"Paul", if you're up for it. Thanks for nothin', Marcel.

Hey @"csalisbury", wanna throw your hat in?

Four, and expecting at least one more from 180. I'll go grab a coffee while you work out what that comes to.

@"180 Proof" needs the competition. Don't make me do this.

Extended to Aug 1st. Should have pinned to all discussions from the start, I guess, as we didn't get enough visibility in the lounge.

No idea. Strange days are upon us.

Yes, there's a chance, as I still haven't received the minimum number of entries.

I hate when comics try to relate to me. Fuck off. Do something original.

Sweet Jesus. The madness needs to stop now. :scream:

Et tu, Tiff. :cry:

A cartoon is not a person btw.

The first one is Wonder Woman and the one in the middle is Lucy.

The current implementation makes it relatively useless and somewhat confusing in my view. I vote to turn it off.

To be fair, I only watched the first five minutes.

Or maybe we weren't in the championship either? Fuck knows.

Btw, England put on a great show and Southgate is a good dude. Kudos to them all :clap: . Some of their fans are cunts but you can't blame the team fo...

Ireland, ffs.

@"Michael" denies being interested in football but he was captured on film at the scene. /uploads/files/74/1zmswolc4x4br12d.jpeg

Nice pun but maybe you need to praxis harder. :chin: Like a 'roo on the roadside, mate.

Get your entries in peeps. Deadline, 25th of July. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/11340/short-story-competition

Reckon a reminder in the shoutbox is due. Nearer the date, I'll do this.

:scream:

All at once on July 25th (provided we get enough to run the competition (say, min 5), otherwise I may extend the deadline a bit.)

It is a bit confusing the way it's implemented. But @"jamalrob"'s the one to talk to re leaving it or reverting.

:up:

Correct. We put the thread here partly for that purpose and also just for transparency. Not as a honey trap.

Yes, but when, for example, your first post in a thread involves calling someone childish names, you don't get to use the 'defending yourself' excuse.

We tend to make a distinction between behavior that's uncharacteristic and/or borne of frustration and what appears to be a modus operandi.

Jokes aside, it's a modded forum. That won't change. But you can report posters that you feel are out of line too. That's the best we can do for you.

:lol:

Thanks. Will do.

E.g. This kind of thing belongs in kindergarten not a philosophy forum. If you want to ad hom, try a simple "fuck off" and then be done with it. I can...
