    Rule Change Suggestions - Aug 2017 elections

    I'm not asking for that voting method. I'm explaining the existence of this thread. That voting method was the thing I wanted to ask for but didn't. I'm sure there are other rule suggestions others wanted to ask for but didn't. Even though if I had remembered to submit the invisible votes...

    I undersatand that you said a firm "NO" for invisible votes. I have been clear about my understanding of this point several times in the last few posts alone. Stop acting like I'm not "getting it". But YES, the reason I got annoyed is because I absolutely would have suggested that change if it...

    See, why do you do this? Why do you keep deciding what my motivations are? If I'm not being crucified for being the site's greatest antagonist who only wants to piss people off, I'm being criticized for pandering in order to be seen as a hero... All while ignoring the fact that I've been nothing...

    Great! Neither does a_skeleton_03, and he banned the very concept from being considered, so there will never be a vote where we could find out just how many people DO see it as an issue. Moving along...

    Rule Change Suggestions - Aug 2017 elections

    You said there were 2 threads to discuss new changes to rules. I asked you if those two threads were the ones each created to address very specific changes being voted on, and you confirmed they were. Clearly, I couldn't find any thread where people could post suggestions for rule changes when...

    Rule Change Suggestions - Aug 2017 elections

    Here's one idea: A thread where people can post their suggestions for changes to the rules. This way, the suggestions can be noted, discussed and improved during the six-month periods between elections. Come election time, we'll have a list of refined suggestions that have been primed for...

    Dude, relax. This place is running fine. You've been doing a fantastic job and we love you. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Thank you for your commitment to this community and all the work you've done to keep the board running smoothly. You don't have the monopoly on caring about...

    Not that you'll take me at my word, but no, it was not. I was just trying to help this place run a little more smoothly. As they say, "No good deed goes unpunished".

    Oh well... If anyone wants to use this thread to "stickie" an idea you have for a rule change so you know where to find it come the next election, feel free. I'll even try to compile the serious suggestions into a list and remind you when the time comes.

    I had one alt. Nobody ever caught it. The other accusations were all bullshit and conspiracy nonsense. That's the truth, take it as you will.

    Don't forget: - Marmac and I have separate Nintendo ID accounts. We both got Mario Maker and created levels linked to our respective accounts. This can still be confirmed to this day. - Marmac, Mire and I were all online simultaneously before we gathered at Mire's house. We were posting...

    Dude, come on. I haven't been correctly linked to a single alt EVER. I went through great efforts to tackle the most popular accusation head on and it was proven well beyond any reasonable doubt that Mire, MarMac and I are different people (never forget). There was never any reason to assume...

    Rule Change Suggestions - Aug 2017 elections

    The numbers are reported after the votes are in. People can't change their votes after they see the direction the votes are going. Obviously, you have ultimate say in whether or not rule changes get implemented. I am simply working within the parameters youv'e established in order to streamline...

    "Contrarian" it is, then. I'm glad you have no problem with the rule suggestion. And I appreciate your vote in the mod election.

    Link works for me. Regardless, the point is another beneficial side effect of making votes invisible is that we don't have to listen to people bitch and whine about people they don't like getting votes. ...Did you have an actual reason why this wouldn't be a good rule or are you just being...

    In fact, Hodj, this is where you can propose your "Quoting a banned users speech from outside this site should be a bannable offense" rule suggestion. If you seriously think that should be a rule, put in the queue and it will get its chance to be implemented.

    Actually, this is exactly the time we need it. As we have seen, people forget or just aren't quick enough to get their rule suggestions in during the brief time they are allowed to do so. This is a buffer where rule suggestions can wait until they can be officially considered, so there is...

    Rule Change Suggestions - Aug 2017 elections

    Suggestion: Voting results should be invisible during the entire mod election and only be made visible after the results are final. Rationale: Being able to see the results on the fly encourages strategizing and changing votes for candidates who people think are going to win instead of who they...

    While there were a few ideas proposed for rule changes since the initial creation of the site rules, it seems like most of them have been forgotten and slipped through the cracks. Unfortunately, by the time the very limited window to officially suggest new rules came and went, we only got a...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Fucking seriously. I gave up on the idea of getting one before the holidays, but I just figured I could be patient and pick one up after the initial hoopla died down. If I'm not going to be able to find one anyway because Nintendo's too stupid to provide a product they already created a great...

    Proposed New Rule: Ban Tanoombas.

    What's your point? Just because a few bad apples try to shit up discussions I'm a part of, it doesn't mean I have to stoop to their level and it doesn't mean I have to abandon my argument. You're basically asking me why I won't allow myself to be bullied. If I can express myself honestly and...

    I used to play exclusively with my XBox 360 controller, but @Marmac pointed out to me that the arrow keys on the keyboard are more precise and playing with them tends to end up in less fuckups. I agree. Also, if you want to chain power pellets (which has excellent scoring potential even before...

    Proposed New Rule: Ban Tanoombas.

    I don't follow anyone around. There are a few threads I tend to be more interested in, and those are the threads I frequent. Also, I have been dogpiled on several times even when my arguments have been logically sound. Therefore, when I see people in the threads I like saying perfectly...

    OK, so my last avatar (the jumping monkey) was kind of obscure. I'm not sure even I would be able to identify it if not for having captured it myself. But I asked my wife if she recognized my current avatar and she got it on her first guess. I was floored. It's not a game she's ever watched me...

    Pony Island

    Here's the article that got me interested in the game in the first place. It contains some minor spoilers, though, so if you'd like to play the game with maximum surprise factor then don't read it.

    Pony Island

    I also enjoyed Pony Island a lot. I love when video games explore and mess around with the player/game dynamic. I stopped playing at a particularly difficult butterfly puzzle, though. Gonna have to come back to it and finish it.

    Poll Button up or button down?

    Aha, so it's both a semantic and behavioral issue. I've only ever buttoned my shirts from the bottom up, and I've never referred to shirts as either "button-up" or "button-down". To me, the term "shirt" already implies buttons, and in cases where there might be some ambiguity I would just say...

    Poll Button up or button down?

    I have no idea what any of this means. Is this a semantics argument or a "How do you put on your shirt" debate?
