    Part of the moderator's job is to ensure that suitable avatars are bequeathed to the posters so we have personality in the forum. They are gifts from the amods to the users. My avatar is included in that and was a gift from Noodle. However, when the user does not want the avatar, it is their...

    should a_skeleton_03 be allowed to use his admin abilities for trolling?

    You expect us to believe that? wikileaks is set to publish documents detailing this entire thread was orchestrated by you and a_skeleton_03 through collusion using ICQ weeks ago.

    should a_skeleton_03 be allowed to use his admin abilities for trolling?

    @jihodj are you once again making yourself the center of attention in a thread unrelated to you? I can't remember the details but I remember you being involved in a very butt-heated discussion recently about how that kind of behavior should be banned from the forum.

    should a_skeleton_03 be allowed to use his admin abilities for trolling?

    If you set the system up to send Draegan an email everytime someone put in @Draegan_sl, that'd be pretty good.

    I hold to my stance. The second throw was not done in immediate danger but still was done out of defense when he realized that racoons are unstoppable animals that wouldn't be hurt by a single stair-toss.

    I still disagree with this for the reason that the intent of the act being watched determines the justification from getting pleasure from it. I think we'd both agree that enjoying a nature show of a lioness eating a gazelle life is fine, but enjoying a show of some perverse UPer trapping a...

    To me using the word cruelty to describe that video is a misnomer because the coon-pitcher didn't act in indifference or pleasure. He acted out of defense and acted appropriately to an animal that threatened him and his dog. You could say that we, the watchers, are largely indifferent and get...

    Because it'd be an unnecessary act of violence vs a defensive one. But if there were a hypothetical situation where someone's dog was being attacked and the only option available was a flame thrower followed by a beefy super soaker, then I suppose it'd be ok. At that point we'd be in saw...

    No. But if there were a hypothetical situation where someone's dog was being attacked and the only option available was a flame thrower followed by a beefy super soaker, then I suppose it'd be ok. At that point we'd be in saw levels of weird games.

    Biggest reason you shouldn't care is that racoon was probably just fine. If it was tossed out of a 5 story window I would've supported censoring it. But down a flight of stairs? That racoon was out attacking harassing dogs and knocking over trash cans before the hour was up.

    Picasso, a_skeleton_03, Debating this issue expired with the polls. There's no more face to save because the faces have been long worn out by Travolta and Cage.

    should a_skeleton_03 be allowed to use his admin abilities for trolling?

    What's funny about this thread is that for years a_skeleton_03 was up mine and Draegan's ass about how admins should be totally hands off on moderatorship and should just keep the site running. He initially followed the path he admonished us for not choosing, but I've seen him start to blur the...

    I didn't know about this, but I am ok with Utnayan as amod. For years a_skeleton_03 had claimed that the dozen or so amods we had were way too many and a much smaller team is more fitting. It is good to see him change his mind and grow the team. By my count we are halfway to a good number. For...

    In my opinion an avatar bet sentence can only be replaced by a ban of equal duration if the person he bet agrees to it. But it's irrelevant on this site.

    Rickshaw Megathread

    I agree but I think that's more due to a change in the culture of the forum from the somewhat serious and endgame MMO/EQ/WoW focused community toward the "internet culture community" we enjoy today. There wasn't a change in moderation that precipitated this.

    You're right, I mistyped. Avatar, ban bets etc don't carry to new sites.

    Avatar, ban bets etc don't carry to new sites. I don't believe your debt has been paid but it can only be collected on rerolled.org. You are a free man here.

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    Oh I don't think giving up on that is an option. Maphacks on their servers are the weeds in their garden. If they don't uproot and spray them their garden will get choked out. If they don't continually try to find ways to prevent maphacks we'll be back to armies of individuals having armies of...

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    I don't remember what the retarded debate Tyen had trying to make a false equivalence between his shitty bot and someone cheating in a different way, but this clearly shows that Niantic doesn't agree. I'm surprised they're unbanning accounts though. It's almost tacit approval of using map apps.

    May users have a personal thread in the rickshaw?

    I think the bigger question in this is whether people should have personal threads in SS, GUF, business etc.

    May users have a personal thread in the rickshaw?

    Nah, the SSHoF/RRHoS is a proud shelf for the community. However the timing of when a thread is moved there has to be right. Only when the thread has been squeezed for all the high quality content should it be moved there.

    May users have a personal thread in the rickshaw?

    Intentionally misrepresenting what people are saying is disingenuous. Unintentionally doing so is incompetence. I don't care if I get alert-spammed, I do care when the entire community does. Rewrite that into whatever strawmen you desire, nobody will be impressed when you beat it up. I don't...

    May users have a personal thread in the rickshaw?

    I was actually thinking more about them posting blocks of alerts, as in, hundreds of alerts every post every few minutes. This bothers me a lot more than them alerting the small number of mods/admins. I wouldn't care that much if I logged on in the morning and saw 156 alerts all from the same...

    My opinion is that Tanoomba should be rickshawed for destroying any thread outside the Retard Rickshaw, and should allowed to destroy every thread in the Retard Rickshaw.

    The first time someone gets shawed and gets butthurt enough to abuse the alert feature by @ing everyone in the forum will be funny. If you don't turn it off we'll have to start banning people who do that, much like report abusers.

    Hodj, why are you so upset by Tanoomba's behavior when the option to ignore him is so streamlined?
