Whirlpool is really good when you need tech info on just about any topic as there are so many people on there.

I still have ITN access but the forum is a joke and I read it sometimes but never post. Some mods there are OK, most are just stupid and delete stuff they don't even understand.

An example, when Neville Wran died, I posted, I guess Frazer farted. It got deleted, and I got a weeks suspension. When I got back I got into it with the mod and showed him several references how that was one of the most common jokes about him back in the day... What happened when Frazer farted, Neville Wran...

Does Whirlpool crack down on the doxxing and trolling you do here, Booby?

You wouldn't last 5 posts on Whirlpool. Roll Eyes

They don't tolerate the sorts of lies and baseless claims and conspiracies that are the backbone of everything you post Bobby. You would instantly lose access to their ITN section.

The ITN section doesn't even allow anyone to discuss issues that are discussed here:

https://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/wp_rules#wp_pointlessposting

In the News Etiquette

Given the potentially emotive nature of many of the threads created here,
it's worth reiterating – no racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, or hate-based discussions.

This is the simple test – if it's a generalisation based on race, gender, religion, age, sexual-preference, etc., and there's not empirical, citable evidence to support that position (anecdotal evidence isn't good enough), it's inappropriate. Reword it to get rid of the offensiveness, or it will be deleted.

And unlike here, they enforce their rules.

It depends. If you want a sanitised factual discussion, with no conspiracies, personal attacks or discrimination, or even jokes, then WP is great.

Most people here can't post within those guide rails though.

A zillion topics none of which I could give a flying flamingo about. Waste of time.

Apparently all of the 'exciting' topics are in the In The News section.

But it's 'hidden' unless you have become a Forum Regular.

I've been a member there for 6 years and I have 198 posts... I only need another 2 to gain access but I'm not in any hurry, I've only made one or two posts there in the last 12 months.

Please post some links to here and invite people over.

I don't think you want that sort of attention.

You'd be inviting people with the motivation and means to cancel this place because of the blatant racism you champion on here.

Yeah - we've got to put a stop to that Black Supremacism - being the First Invaders is nothing special...

No - when it says -

It implies that a topic cannot even be discussed because some
people may become emotional.
What's the point of having a forum then? -
is it just an echo chamber for woke idiots?
