Digital Spy Forums #3

The best day on DS must have been Brexit vote day even at 10pm the usuals were declaring they had won and we were staying in the EU the next day was DS gold in the politics forum also that the last election would be a hung parliament and Corbyn would team up with Nicola and rule the country.

Does anyone remember the thread where the lefties were counting the number of people dying so that the EU vote would be no longer valid and working out that everytime an old person died a young person would automatically Labour voters and no one changes their mind as they get older anymore.

What I find laughable is some DS members moaning on DS about seeing their names appear in this very thread.

Apparently people on here have nothing better to do with their time.

What they fail to mention is the numerous times they have done the exact same thing on DS. They've seen no issues with whinging, baiting, trolling, harassing and name calling others. They are happy to do so then, however they don't like it when the boot is on the other foot.

DOUBLE STANDARDS!

If they don't like seeing their names appear here, then maybe they should stop to consider WHY they are being named and shamed here.

I'm actually dead. SierraMist/HR Gur getting his a handed to him on a plate over on Dogs so went on the defence and claimed he wasn't a man, only for someone to dig out a post where he calls himself a man. Now he has posted as another guest blatantly trying to suggest we shouldn't question Sierra's gender as it caused a 'big problem' somewhere else.

lmao trying to play the I'm transgender card cos he got caught out but also trying to suggest legal action too?! lmao I can't the guy is such a bleeping freak

Some EU lovers still act all smug and superior and claim intellectual and mental superiority over vote leavers anyway.

Did you get banned on DS recently??

Yes. I did ask to be deleted.

Who's coming over to the Overclockers forums Look for me under 1664kronenbourg (associate).
We have a ranking system based on the mafia ranking system over there,

I think if ever there was a practical demonstration of the wisdom of the saying “never discuss sex, politics or religion” then DS was it.

DS will be a much better place with the toxic elements closed down.

There might be a return to something called 'discussion' once again. Where everyone is allowed a say and their opinions aren't shouted down.

I'm so glad DS is finally dying a death. Good riddance. Horrible cesspool. I notice alot of the General discussion crowd are now in AV forums, I think they will have a culture shock over there as it doesn't seem to be so strictly woke as DS.

Poor Sierra also claiming they never predicted covid numbers, I think you did "will stabilise 20,000" "50/50 it will not go below 10,000"

I'm think that cases this week will stabilise in the lower 20k range (England) and then be quite stubborn.

I had a quick read of the DS meet up thread last night and it reminded me of the good old days when you could have a sense of humour on these forums! It made me realise how far into the cesspit GD has fallen over recent years.

Is anywhere as strictly woke as ds?

As I posted on there recently, I think the problem with DS now is you’re not allowed to have a nuanced view on anything. You have to be either 100% for or against the topic under discussion. Try and post something in between and you get savaged by both sides which is just silly because very few issues are that clear cut that only a totally negative or positive response is suitable.

 

[Notorious PIG]

Yes. I did ask to be deleted.

Honestly I felt my time was coming near. Seems GD got to a point where no opposing views were allowed whatsoever. Definitely very different from the DS GD I joined years ago.

Hope you are well! x

Let's bloody hope not

I'm very well thank you. Hope you are too?. I remember when I posted something in the Trump thread I don't think it was even pro-Trump just correcting something. but someone said "ignore them they pop in now and again to drip their poison"

Someone on twitter claims DS forums get 23million users per month

@Hearst
Why are you closing down most of the forums on Digital Spy it gets 23 million users per month and now you no longer want that and to keep it for tv and fantasy show chat only ?

What forum is dogs, I wouldn't mind a look

Welcome to all the DS refugees.

It's heartening to know more people than I thought have had enough of DS in one way or another. It really is a hell hole representing the worst kind of toxic identity politics with nobody but the most absolute far left welcome, and the moderators fuel that with gusto. Will be interesting to see how the remaining parts of the board survive as I suspect they too won't be around much longer. The rot is too deep in DS to fix it as easily as closing a couple of parts down.

 

[Amelia99]

Is there a particular political ethos here? I lean to the left (and not only after a few G&Ts!) but do try to keep discussion even tempered.

Let's also be clear. Many, although not all the mods on DS are utterly useless and somewhat bias.

When you are a forum mod, you are supposed to act with fairness and impartiality - especially on 'broad church' sites such as DS. However it is clear many do not.

One FM can get a warning (or ban) for something relatively minor, yet someone else can go on a hate filled rant and get absolutely nothing.

Why?

Probably as the mods agree with their POV.

My question is, how these people have been allowed to remain as Mods, when they clearly show bias in their moderation.
