Well, I can tell you where fact checkers are NOT burlsack. They're not anywhere near accounts like the Primod. The guy is like a dumb fuckwit lamp, bright enough to attract dumb fuckwit moths like you. No fact checker, or reasonable person, would waste their life engaging with that weird man child.

ID for entertainment maybe but neither are epidemiologists you know those people who have spent 30 to 40 years studying pandemics plus the ones on the front lines of Ebola etc.

The point is that the books have been cooked for covid deaths.

This has become common knowledge, that most so called covid deaths are those with comorbidities or just simply old age. The average age of these cooked up "covid deaths" is older than the average life expectancy for both men and women. Cooked up "covid" deaths have an average of 2.7 comorbidities.

This has been expalined evryday for 2 years in the pressers. Scomo and CHOs have spelled this out point blank. Elon explained this 2 FUCKEN YEARS AGO IN THAT ROGAN INTERVIEW.

It's incredible how thick you jab junkies are to not recognise this, yet ya reckon Elon and JP are dumb cunts and shoot the messengers.

Fuck me, too many boosters are not enough for you turkeys and I really what you to get whacked up every 3 months , don't forget the kiddies.

NO regards,

The Real Donald.

Yep. All for open discussion but if it were my surf website I would shut this one down. Misinformation, abuse and trolling, homophobic slurs, bullying, threats of violence.
No problem with a bit of beef between posters but this thread is way beyond that and potentially harmful in my opinion. Free speech has it's limits, swellnet owners need to look at what shit they are prepared to publish and calling people bed wetters, faggots, poofters etc and people like the real Donald openly abusing "fishing" responses detract from the great things Swellnet does. Bit disappointing really Stu and Ben.

indo-dreaming Sunday, 20 Feb 2022 at 9:59am

The weirdest thing about this thread isn't so much those commenting about concerns over vaccines, mandates, lockdowns etc but those that spend just as much time here not really interested in these issues but just seem out to say black when others say white, it doesn't help especially when the tone is aggressive, is just stirs people up.

Covid has been a big deal, its affected the way we all live, off course there will be a lot of different views and concerns, by all means if you think misinformation has been posted etc debunk it but do it by playing the ball and not the man.

BTW. id like to think im in no way political correct or woke, but as soon as i saw those recent slurs i was like WTF, pretty clear lines crossed there and without any remorse, which i think is different to things said when hot headed and then latter kind of regret saying them.

For what its worth i think those slurs should be deleted, if anyone doesnt know those slurs are crossing a line, then they shouldn't even be posting here, i cringe even if i hear people saying that shit on a work site which is very rare these days.

Solution is moderators like every other forum, people who have been on here a long time you trust, give em free subs or something, better than nothing and would keep the foul mouthed vulgar rif raf at bay.
Unless this is the type you want on here, what about women/girls? My daughter surfs and uses the cams/surf report.
My Mrs would be horrified with what gets said on here.

You should subscribe because it’s the price of a coffee, get access to detailed forecasts, cams and learn a lot about forecasting.

Oh and support for the people running the website.

I for one like this thread and it would be a shame to close it. I’ve learnt a lot from here in between the bullshit.

No room for threats or homophobic slurs at all, but a bit of banter and nicknames never hurt anyone.

No point in closing this thread. It will just move on to another thread as has already happened . Close all the forum threads and it will then move to the comments sections of the articles written , we have also seen this happen . Best keep it here and just penalise those that get too carried away , time outs are ok , maybe if same punters continue same behaviour then make the time outs longer each time . . If they are not paying subscribers then permanently delete them . If things get worse then I’m all for real names and get rid of the anonymity , I’m fairly sure with real names people will be very careful about what they post . Its the anonymous part that gives some punters the courage to carry on like a pork chop .

Ben, I agree it is a difficult issue. If I were you I would be moderating comments a lot more closely and deleting posts and posters that cross your line, not red flagging. The news organisations that open forums have to do it, I've been deleted many times myself. They do it because they don't want legal problems as publishers. You don't have to become the thought police, maybe don't need to pay anyone to do it, just burn a few serious offenders and let the forums know that you are prepared to do it and it may start moderating itself. My mate Hutchy got the arse for telling Stu to 'go outside'. Gone, never to be heard from again, so I know you are prepared to do it.
Sorry to disturb your Sunday and time with your son. I will shut up now.

I reckon SN does a great job and gets the balance right in the vast majority of cases but I've thought this topic should have been relegated to the back pages, as others have also suggested, months ago.

I reckon SN does a pretty good job and for the most part is pretty balanced. I actually don't really agree with the time-outs though as one mans meat is anothers poison so to speak. These things usually sort themselves out.

I'm not really one for dispensing advice but I kinda go by the never post anything that I wouldn't be prepared to say to someones face and also, before I hit send, have a bit of time to pause for thought.

Finally, try not to post if I've had a few.

Also, Indo- you never read my post about 'latter' and 'later'.

And subscribe- It's worth it.

He's very bombastic, always right, etc, but he's also very funny and has many qualities that didn't show in his posting. I told him not to push it so hard but that's him. It was all pretty funny I thought. He pushed Stu's button, that's for sure.
