To think ODFOD used to be allowed?

[DirtyKit]

It did right?

but now it isn’t?
what happened?

IABU - it was never allowed
IANBU - it was allowed

First saw it here, but not in recent times.

Well I don't know either......

Yes it was definitely allowed.

Things are very different here from 20 years ago. You could say much more and not be deleted but if you fart in the wrong direction how, your post gets deleted it seems. X

It was quite often
ODFOD, nethuns ➡️

And I’ve been deleted for telling a poster to ODFOD. The joke was obviously lost on someone.

I was deleted once for saying I heard all a poster’s posts in Boris Johnson’s voice. 😂

I always think the Oh bore off response makes the poster seem quite boorish. The type to get in a pub brawl.

I much prefer ODFOD. At least there’s humour in it.

@StormingNorman that’s hilarious.
they’ve not responded to my request for a comment though.

when I first came here c10 years ago posters talked about how it had changed then and I couldn’t understand how a site could change. People are just people after all.
now I understand and think it’s a shame. It’s not as forthright and honest a place as it used to be.

You've never been allowed to swear at people on mn.
You can swear all you fucking want, and you can say you're fucked off, that you like being fucked, that it's fucking ridiculous, that you disagree with every fucking thing some one has written. But you can't tell them to fuck off or to go fuck themselves.

When they're being a twat?

That's so funny 😁

I wonder if Boris Johnson knows that being compared to him is seen as a personal attack? Not that he'd be likely to have any insight as to why...

I was deleted for that

I know. It made me laugh at the time.

I have always liked odfod and fottfsofatfosm [fottfsof and then fuck off some more]. Am also a fan of "Behold my barren field of fucks to give". I think it's the inspiration for someone's username. Hi friend! 🤗

Maybe MN is aware of the toxic cesspittery that is the modern internet in a way that it wasn't 10 or more years ago, what with Donald Trump and Elon Musk's 'helpful' interventions, amongst others.

Maybe that's why it - or it's advertisers - push back more these days? Or maybe it has more money now to employ more moderators.

I’m inclined to think it’s more a policy of automatic deletion if a post’s reported. I’ve seen other deletions just as ridiculous as my Boris one.

For many years we could say almost anything to anyone, on here, without repercussions except from other posters, so the site tended to police itself. Then along came AIBU and a massive swelling in user numbers and HQ had to start laying down rules.

If enough people complain about the use of ODFOD then I guess it gets disallowed. Same with any of them - I wonder if FOTTFSOFAWYGTFOSM is allowed, or TMDNCOP (can't remember that obe too well, but you get my drift).

I remember it. Haven't seen it for ages though. Dont know whether it was allowed or not.

I don't think I've ever seen that. But 'Fuck off' I've seen for sure.
