I'm lucky enough to have had a designated driver, let alone a designated poster.

What's wrong with the new words thread? I thought it was rather funny. I was just too drunk to find the poli humor thread or the bush thread

My State is bigger than theirs so they are trying to compensate. ; )

And the states are dinky.

If you guys are really disapointed that it wasn't political I suppose I could add that we have the dinky brained Massachusets voters to thank for Kerry and Kenedy.

How come I wasn't on the respected posters list?

Take no prisoners. You know that the little girl has heard it all before. Heck the drunk on my block swears at them loud enough for everyone to hear, no matter who comes to the door.

But see, I am shirtless, and it was three on one with their secret weapon, a little girl. If I were to do something infront of kids I would have a natrural fear of being fired or feel bad (I work with kids for a living, although not neccisarily that kid, I would feel like Im gonna get in shit for doing it from my boss, who in all reality wouldnt actually find out).

You can have fun messing with their heads, even if there is a kid with them. Example, find some audio of a girl moaning and play it before you go to answer the door. They will see you are rather preoccupied, and leave.

Or you could do what my mom does; Tell them your a Baptist and offer them coffee.

Stop being a pansy. Say something. Anything... These are Jehovas Witnesses, man. They're either the most boring waste of your time ever, or a good 5 minuites spent praising the love of satan. For example:

"I love satan!"
"You will burn in hell"
"Yeah, but I like burning"
"He will ass-rape you!"
"I'm gay"
"He wont ass-rape you, then!"
"I'll wank."
"He'll cut your arms off!"
"I'll pay a demon to do it"

And so on and so forth. For added bonus points, ask the little girl if shes ever seen jesus. For additional bonus points, and a free sticker, ask the little girl if she's read the X-Rated version of the bible, and give her a Playboy.

Is banning 4 pages of replies to a stat thread "excessive"? I've been looking around and I'm surrounded by spammy bitches. Everywhere. Even people who don't suck. So I ban them for breaking various rules. And then they get mad at me for doing my job. WTF? If that thread had never gotten bumped so many damn times, there wouldn't have BEEN 4 pages of users to BAN.

Just because nobody bothers with enforcing the rules anymore doesn't mean they don't exist!

Or am I letting my inherent Nazi-ness get the better of me? Oh, and Gooie hates me now. And probably so does Quanze. And Ozcar. Most of the General posters, really. And at least three other Mods.

But at least I wasn't prejudiced! I banned all according to their transgressions, with time added for repeat offenders and general sucktitude. Everyone who was banned was CLEARLY in violation of the rules.

Ah, well, I don't know..... most of the bans were only 1 or 2 days, because even I'm not nazi enough to hand out three days for posting in a spam thread on someone who doesn't suck. Now, for people with spam in their records..... that's a different story.

Funk, you were absolutely correct for locking that thread and doling out bans.

Stat Topics aren't allowed. Everyone on NG (potentially) has a profile for a reason. No need to have a "Post your popularity here!" thread. Level up (blam/protect or experience) threads and threads about how many posts you have are also not allowed.

It's black and white. It's in the rules. And ignorance of the rules is no excuse, especially when it's a sticky topic at the top of every page. And as far as I know, there's no statute of limitations on the rules.

Just because you didn't get to the topic earlier doesn't mean that the rules can be flaunted.

I don't hate you, I agree that the topic should have been locked, although almost all the mods had seen it already, and let it go. :\ So it looked like ban-baiting, even though I know that's not what it was. But I think your efforts would have been more appreciated had you lock/banned the two threads that had links posted in them that were Trojan/virus sites, rather than freaking out over a spam topic. It's like you patted yourself on the back for a job well done, and didn't bother to look around for anything else that might have broken the rules. Spam is annoying, trojans and viruses kill computers. Luckily, another user alerted the mods to them, so Ron took care of it.

I'm not complaining about my ban, just pointing out why a lot of users felt it was a bit harsh and uncalled for.

Nah Funk, the BBS does need some cleaning up to do. People posting one word replies just clogs up the forums, so they need to be taken care of. Now get out there and start banning.

It's only fair to point out that Star_Cleaver started a duplicate to the topic after Funk locked it.

It's also only fair to link to the topic in which the whole thing was discussed by quite a few mods. I repeat, this is not complaining, but merely bringing up other points.
I think I'm one of the few that actually reads most of the threads, not just what looks interesting. many topic titles/first posts belie what the conversation is about.

Seems like Funk was justified in his actions. I probably would have done the same thing in his situation.

Though I must say, the idiocy of some people just amazes me.

It's only fair to point out that stat topics are still against the rules, as are gimmick posts. Their illegitimate post doesn't make the post that Funk locked any more legitimate.

It's also only fair to link to the topic in which the whole thing was discussed by quite a few mods.

Also more spammitude. Isn't picture spamming against the rules as well?

I repeat, this is not complaining,

Just because you say it isn't doesn't mean that it really isn't. You've been complaining about it the whole time; you've just used basis for your complaints rather than those jerks that went around going "OGM FUNK LOKD Teh topic bcuz hes meen lol"

I think I'm one of the few that actually reads most of the threads, not just what looks interesting.

That's still no excuse for posting in illegal topics.
