Post by: Spacewolfoddballz


Not exactly sure where to put this but i wanted to start a thread to thank you all who host and moderate this forum. It keeps me entertained as well as a good place to chat and learn things. Often its been my experience that "thank you" is not given enough. While I am at it i want to thank everyone else who contributes with their beautiful pics/knowledge in the hobby who might not necessarly be a moderator and such but contribute to the content of the forum .

The easiest way to say Thanks You is to become a DCM

Saying it in a post is good, too.

I personaly have to disagree, the moderators on this site are a bunch of fascists who have never heard of the right to "FREEDOM OF SPEECH". Most privatly run forums on the internet are like this these days.. If you go againt the norm, or point out Hard truths, that the general delusional public that frequent that forum disagree with you get baned or edetid. Dakka Dakka are the same as say MMORPG.com.. They have a personal interest that some "truths" should not be known. And they are suported by their "FANBOY" Squad, who report and try to shut down anyone that speaks out of term.

In the old days we had the Curch doing this.. someone said the earth is round and it goes around the sun... The Curch "Fanboys" screamed -"Heratic! BURN HIM At THE STAKE!!!". That he was Right matterd not. Same goes on privatly run forums in the 21st century..

I suspect I will get edited and Baned for my "truth" speaking so catch you all on the flip-side....HAHAH

Cool story bro.

You do realize when you join you sign a little thing that basically says "What the mods say is law and I will abide by it."

And also I'll thank the mods while I'm here too. I can't imagine how much hassle it is to run this forum with as many members as it has. The fact that they get rid of trolls and adds and the like so quickly is pretty impressive. I need to quit stalling and buy DCM sometime...

You don't have a right to post on Dakka, its a private forum. With rules. Following them gets you the privilege of posting here.

People join because they want those rules to be followed.


Dakka's rules are pretty simple actually, don't post or condone illegal activity, and don't use language that you wouldn't use in front of a 5 year old and you'll be fine. There's a couple other minor things but Dakka is anything but discriminatory.

I'd give you a triangle of friendship but I see you already have several.

We do predominantly wear black it's true. Mainly as it's slimming but it also looks just dandy by torchlight as we invade small eastern European countries.

Nope, we all have. It's frequently brought up by truly inane posters who oft lack the wit and intellect to actually come up with an argument or a reason for their own actions.


Most privatly run forums on the internet are like this these days.. If you go againt the norm, or point out Hard truths,



Ah hard truths, the auld enemy. We meet again.

Never see soft truth anymore do you eh ? Thing of the past like white crumbly dog gak, "Tab clear" and that friendly orangutan who used to help rescue the kids in comic books and lead them to the cool refreshing taste of Capri-Sun. All in the space of a page, wonderful story telling.

Or the CB Bears! Despite some desperate attempts by forum moderators and similar ne'er-do-wells you barely see or hear anything about them either !

Truly we cower under the shadow of the NWO.


that the general delusional public that frequent that forum disagree with you get baned or edetid.


Thank god we have you to save us Neo, the machines are nearly at Zion and we don't know how much longer we can hold out !


Dakka Dakka are the same as say MMORPG.com.. They have a personal interest that some "truths" should not be known.


It's true that we do actively work to hide the incredible truth about JFK's assassination, the secret ingredient in Coca Cola and what women really think !

All at the behest of our Pentagon masters of course.


And they are suported by their "FANBOY" Squad, who report and try to shut down anyone that speaks out of term.


Don't you dare disrespect the FANBOY Squad. They don't work for cheap but they're worth nearly every peso we throw at them !


In the old days we had the Curch doing this


The dark old days of 2nd edition, when there was only dial-up, people were inundated with those poxy AOL discs for XX hours of free web browsing and the Catholic church ruled wargaming forums with an ironfist, confident that the Squat army book would be released anyday soon, and the old Slaan warriors would still be usable in WFB.

dark, dark days indeed.

.. someone said the earth is round and it goes around the sun


His name lost forevermore to the mists of time.


... The Curch "Fanboys" screamed -"Heratic! BURN HIM At THE STAKE!!!". That he was Right matterd not. Same goes on privatly run forums in the 21st century..

Guys, this is serious.

Dakka is the guiding light and leader of the known world. Moral, Ethical, Political and Social issues are all resolved here, and we must, must, must maintain our Iron grip lest all of you learn the hard truth and rebel. I happen to like eating babies in my mountain top manse while flicking kittens off the ledge just cause I can.

That or y'know, shocking as it may be to believe, it's just a forum about tiny plastic dolls.

But, the most important question of all... WHAT HAPPENED TO TAB CLEAR????

I don't think you'll be banned, but it might be nice -and you might be taken more seriously- if you were self-edited enough to spell "Church", "Heretic", "Mattered", "Banned" or "Privately" correctly.

For the record, the "someone" you're talking about was Galileo.

And if you like "hard truths" here's one: There is NO guarantee of "free speech" on a privately owned web forum.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from responsibility or that others will not like what you say. If you are offended by someone else's views on your topic grow some tough skin and deal with it. If you can't, go away

I was wondering where Dakka fit into the online miniatures gaming community...

The Miniatures Page: where 50+ year old grognards talk about one day playing a game of DBM and how they loved Rogue Trader and complain about everything else

Frothers Unite: where 40 year olds go to act like they're 15 again as a way to let steam off from their midlife crises, but at least they play a game once every 6 months (or whenever their wife lets them out of the house)

Warseer: where 15 year olds go to discuss WAAC army lists and GW is the One True God and 40k is the Only Religion and Mat Ward is the Voice of God and how dare you question their motives and it's only the bestest company and ruleset ever!

Dakka Dakka: a community of Malifaux/Warmachine/40k/WH/Infinity/KingsOfWar/XWing/BoltAction/FoW/etc players who discuss various things from news and rumors to tactics and so forth in the miniature gaming world in a relatively polite and respectful manner AND ALSO IT'S RUN BY FASCISTS WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE RIGHT TO "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" AND YOU WILLGET EDETID OR BANED!!1!

There is no freedom of speech on dakka, there is no carte (john) blanche to speak as you see fit on whatever you see fit and most importantly of all, you have no 'rights' here.

It's a privately owned website with whatever rules it's owners want to enforce in operation.

This is COBRA Island...

The fact that it is run in a mostly fair and arbitrary manner and that all the nefarious creatures like me are tolerated is testament to it's solid administration and usually benevolent moderation, but you have no real rights and at any time, due to whatever reason, you can be kicked out, if the Admins so wish it. It's theirs, not yours and not accountable.

But I thought the DCMs where the House of Representatives and Senate, the Mods the Supreme Court, and Yakface was President! You mean to tell me Dakka isn't America!?

edit* just to be slightly on topic. I agree with the OP Dakka is a great community, even if i get the occasional warning from the mods

The fact that people are familiar with bad language doesn't make it automatically appropriate or welcome.

The idea of the language rule is to keep Dakka accessible to the widest range of people. Whether or not teenagers swear amongst their friends has little impact on whether or not parents would approve of their kids accessing a site with 'rules' like Frothers. And it's not solely for the benefit of the young'uns... some of us still believe in moderating our language in public, because many people find swearing offensive. I'll swear around friends or family that I know are comfortable with it, but out in public I watch my tongue out of consideration for those around me. Dakka is in that respect no different from, say, the local coffee shop. I wouldn't sit in the Coffee Club swearing at the top of my voice for all to hear... and so I don't do it on forums either.

Sidenote: I went into this thread figuring the OP was the troll and when they were for real I let my guard down. Figures, two posts later asshattery appeared.

It's a privately owned website with whatever rules it's owners want to enforce in operation.

This is COBRA Island...

The fact that it is run in a mostly fair and arbitrary manner and that all the nefarious creatures like me are tolerated is testament to it's solid administration and usually benevolent moderation, but you have no real rights and at any time, due to whatever reason, you can be kicked out, if the Admins so wish it. It's theirs, not yours and not accountable.

Yeah. Technically the mods could tell us we all need to use an avatar that has bunnies in it, or you will get edetid or baned.

Just like to thank the modding team, I'm going to finally pull my finger out and get my DCM.

Although I don't know if I want to be funding facism/terrorism and the removal of my freedom of speech.

Dakka Dakka are the same as say MMORPG.com.. They have a personal interest that some "truths" should not be known.

I never knew that Dakka Dakka was behind such massive truths as the Fake Moon Landing, JFK Assassination, Watergate and several other high end conspiracies. Also they are the holders of the colonels secret recipe: (Grease, Chicken & Salt.)

Don't tell anyone though.

Bad troll is bad.

Good Mod Team and Fun, Kind and Interesting users is good.

Also please don't Bane me, if it took Batman that much effort to save Gotham and get back on Dakka Dakka then I've no chance

*that, or he was actually a MOD who made a secondary account as a joke to give the other MODS all a bit of fun-I'm actually leaning towards this possibility.


Which would make it a Mods fault and we would be 100% correct in blaming the victim,

Once you know MGS's true name, all you need are the right runes and a perfect circle, and you can banish him back to the warp for a thousand years and a day.

However, if there is any flaw in your circle, MGS will devour your soul while whistling showtunes.

We do predominantly wear black it's true. Mainly as it's slimming but it also looks just dandy by torchlight as we invade small eastern European countries.



who have never heard of the right to "FREEDOM OF SPEECH".


Nope, we all have. It's frequently brought up by truly inane posters who oft lack the wit and intellect to actually come up with an argument or a reason for their own actions.


Most privatly run forums on the internet are like this these days.. If you go againt the norm, or point out Hard truths,



Ah hard truths, the auld enemy. We meet again.

Never see soft truth anymore do you eh ? Thing of the past like white crumbly dog gak, "Tab clear" and that friendly orangutan who used to help rescue the kids in comic books and lead them to the cool refreshing taste of Capri-Sun. All in the space of a page, wonderful story telling.

Or the CB Bears! Despite some desperate attempts by forum moderators and similar ne'er-do-wells you barely see or hear anything about them either !

Truly we cower under the shadow of the NWO.


that the general delusional public that frequent that forum disagree with you get baned or edetid.


Thank god we have you to save us Neo, the machines are nearly at Zion and we don't know how much longer we can hold out !


Dakka Dakka are the same as say MMORPG.com.. They have a personal interest that some "truths" should not be known.


It's true that we do actively work to hide the incredible truth about JFK's assassination, the secret ingredient in Coca Cola and what women really think !

All at the behest of our Pentagon masters of course.


And they are suported by their "FANBOY" Squad, who report and try to shut down anyone that speaks out of term.


Don't you dare disrespect the FANBOY Squad. They don't work for cheap but they're worth nearly every peso we throw at them !


In the old days we had the Curch doing this


The dark old days of 2nd edition, when there was only dial-up, people were inundated with those poxy AOL discs for XX hours of free web browsing and the Catholic church ruled wargaming forums with an ironfist, confident that the Squat army book would be released anyday soon, and the old Slaan warriors would still be usable in WFB.

dark, dark days indeed.

.. someone said the earth is round and it goes around the sun


His name lost forevermore to the mists of time.


... The Curch "Fanboys" screamed -"Heratic! BURN HIM At THE STAKE!!!". That he was Right matterd not. Same goes on privatly run forums in the 21st century..

I suspect I will get edited and Baned for my "truth" speaking so catch you all on the flip-side....HAHAH


Don't be silly, you'll be burnt at the stake of course.

Well we say stake but there's every chance it'll turn out to be largely horse !





LoL trolled by a MOD.

Also can we get 'There is no freedom of speech on Dakka' as one of the tab bars titles?

Major Tom hit me with a 3 day ban for posting The Dream of the Fisherman's wife. He told me that posting tentacle porn was wildly inappropriate. I was pretty steamed and wrote a long winded response in which I called him a philistine. He responded with a very well thought out answer that made me see his side of the argument. He's a cool dude, even if he isn't down for getting weird with cephalopods.

Thank you to Dakka the DCMs and the fellow members. (In that order)

I find the discussions usually enlightening. Sometimes annoying and always entertaning.

If there is one thing I would like to improve it would be that everyone would would take the time (myself included) to realize that everyone is not being a jerk when they come back with a response. The anonymity of the web sadly robs us of the intonation and body language. So we often infer the worst on the person.

Now I will get off of my soapbox, put on my curch and hopefully avoid being the bane of everyone.

The correct and sole term is "minions", surely you don't think you'll be allowed "names" ?!

You'll get an ident. number, and be grateful. Free tattoo though eh, that's something.

We've laughed, we've cried, we've learnt new words, new terms, and discovered that a Curch is an old type of hat !

But morn has broken and we're here, staring with the dead glassy eyes of a reality show contestant.

What more could you possibly want from a thread .. nay.. from a website !?

.. well.. I guess some like really cracking porn, maybe involving celebrities or something, but I'm afraid all of that is kept on the DCM board, except the really good stuff which we move to the MOD only board.

It's good stuff too, high definition, sound is balanced too and the camera man doesn't ever reach in and have a quick grope or anything which helps maintain the sense of it being real.

.. err...

.. anyway...

Tune in next time for more wacky fascist antics* !







* Course you won't be able to as you're all baned but it's the thought that counts. Or something.
