"Why is that?"Somebody will post child porn, snuff films, or snuff films that are also child porn. Hard to not ban people for posting stuff like that, especially when it means the website owners go to jail, instead of just getting sued.
"FARKERS! Want to see elchip, action replay nick, The_Gospel_of_Thomas, and more? Want to be able to post NSFW pics without fear of reprisal? Want to have a say in what links make it to the front page? Head on over to www.bannination.com"Why would I want to see a bunch of people so stupid they couldn't follow basic rules on a website? Oh, let me guess- the fark mods ate your baby, pee'd in your bed and the are so gosh diddly, doodly-diddly BAD! I am very glad you idiots have a place to meet. Whopping 250 members- mark my works- you won't be over 750 in 3 months. That's if this crap site even last this long. Hey, go post ANOTHER thread about why you don't like Drew Curtis. What's that? 99 of the 100 'threads' you have now? You'll all be begging to come back to his site. Some one mentioned posting this crap on SA. Please, please, please come over. We will love it. This needs its own spot in GBS.
You know... the big issue with Fark right now is that it's completely jumped the shark. The site is loaded with ads, has been spawning popups and moderator behaviour has gotten pretty out of control.Here's a couple of examples to put it into perspective:Photoshop thread. I used a source pic that was already SFW, a shot within Abu Garhaib, that I had seen linked and posted inside Fark threads previously. Genitals were pixelated. When I manipulated the image, I did another layer of pixelation and blurred it slightly on top of that. My post got deleted for inappropriate content. Basically, "nudity."The winner of that photoshop thread depicted a 3 year old girl sticking her head into a glory hole with a really creepy, very adult clown on the other side.The picture obviously survived.Another example is that now that Fark is catering to the advertisers, there's been more aggressive moderation being done. There was a revolt over this and there happened that legendary "boobies thread." People were banned for posting SFW BOOBIES. Drew's comments regarding it? "Advertisers hate that stuff."One of Fark's POP UP ADVERTISERS IS MAXIM MAGAZINE. You know? Nearly naked women in suggestive poses.Hypocrisy to the highest degree. Fark has jumped the shark. Drew has forgotten what made the site so popular in the first place, its users, and we were the ones paying him for subscriptions and getting our friends involved... all just to be shat upon for the advertising dollars he could rake in. Sorry. I'm over it. I'm not supporting Fark anymore.
After inhabiting Bannination for a couple months I departed.Too many vehemently pro-gay blobs constantly shoving their agenda in folk's faces.I am far from conservative but the extremely politically correct warm fuzzy let's-all-sing'Kumbaya crowd get to be nauseating after awhile.Put ANY "brown person" in a bad light, no matter how heinous their crime or transgression and you are painted in a Stalinesque, Hilter-like hue or branded as an endorser of the KKK.It appears the majority of Bannination denizens are insufferable buffoons who haven't read a non-fiction book since dropping out of school.I would not be surprised if the majority there dwell within mommy and daddy's basement.Yes, there are a few articulate educated posters but they are a minority.If you are one of the masses of bleating sheep spewing knee-jerk rhetoric then Bannination may be a fine fit for you.If not...... the site is good for a laugh now-and-then.... with most of the laughing AT the nincompoops spewing their blather.
