I would've been a dick, but that would've meant too much time away from Magic the Gathering Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013.

I think my (highly unlikely to exist) kids will be surprised at first, but then kind of proud that their father was a troll. They'll be all "teach me wise master". I hope, anyways.

Your four year-old would tell you to man the hell up and start being a dick.

No, but do you really want to be baiting a moderator trying to keep the peace?
Comment has been collapsed.
well i respectfully disagree with your moderation of this forum.
I don't like this whole everyone be nice to each other thing. If anyone gets their feelings hurt about something some one typed about them on the internet or being "trolled" as you call it then they just need to suck it up.
This denial of free speach ruins the forums by making people such as myself afraid of posting because they may be banned for voicing their oppinion.
Also if you can be banned for swearing why is there no swear filter on the forums in the first place?

There is no free speech here. This is a private site run on the internet. You have priviledges, but no rights. While we try to have as much as possible, we will crack down on it when it gets out of hands. Voicing your opinion is not the same as being an arse and the idea that people should just "suck it up" when someone is harassing them is outright stupid. That is what gets you banned, poor behaviour, not swearing.

I just think that if you can suspend someone for saying "fuck you" then why is the word fuck not filtered in the first place?
The faq does not have clear guide lines for posting. "Be considerate of all users at all times related to the site/chat, etc." What kind of a rule is that? it just makes it so the mods can suspend who ever depending on how they feel that day. One person can say fuck you and not be banned and the other gets banned.
There should be a report button for every comment on this site and the only way users can be banned or suspended is if they were reported. It should be about some one being upset by something some one posted not mods looking through the forums for people to ban
I respect your and every other mods rule over the site and if you want to restrict free speach as you see fit then I'll just have to deal with it.

Sadly I agree that the rules are poorly written for this site, some are vague and ambiguous. I've seen people banned for making a rule to join their giveaway that was obviously in jest, when the "rule" they broke was originally created just so the mods (re: loko) could have a reason to deny request for rerolls. That's beside the point in this discussion, but I think there are quite a few other rules like that as well, between vague writing and poor documentation of why certain rules exists and for what purpose they serve, the rules are hurting for some more clarity

Ironfart3 then hears a crackle above him. A thunderstorm appears. Clouds form, dark and grey. Lightning strikes blast around him. But then the clouds part in the center. A single arm, with a large, internet shaped hammer comes down towards him. It hovers for a second, so that ironfart3 understands. It falls, squashing him, as his connections slowly fade, and he is located back at his default gateway, 192.168.0.1, ready to start his journey again.

Its stuff like this that really pisses me off. People just suck up to mods because they like to see other people punished. If i disagree with the way the site is run i should not have to deal with posts like yours when i try to voice my opinion.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd disagree, even though I kinda want to agree. But you have no idea how hard the mods here work. I give props to all of them. They deal with allot and are on the ball most of the time. Like Jade handled my situation like a boss. There are many, many other issues then just what you see. Anyway, Steam-gifts has really, really good and fair mods. They are also human too.

In brightest thread and blackest /b/ no hammer shall escape my sight. Let those who worship fairness might, feel my power, banhammers blight.

I was under the impression that Jade was a soul eating god? But yeah I agree, modding a site with so many users has to be pretty hard...
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not sucking up. Or at least wasn't trying to. It was a forewarning though. Generally speaking (and I've had experience with super power corrupt mods in my day (not saying anyone here is) so I know) never tell a mod he is doing something wrong and that you believe his rules are dumb. Especially not after he says he nearly suspended like 50 people. Also, it was a joke, Jesus Christ. Release your female undergarments from their strengthened knot at once, good sir.

"Release your female undergarments from their strengthened knot at once, good sir."
I'm pretty sure that if i was the one who said that i would be banned.
"never tell a mod he is doing something wrong"
what the heck did i just read? mods are supposed to work with the user base as a whole to create the best user experience. if no one ever tells them when they do something wrong or when they disagree then the mods WILL go "power corrupt" as you put it.

Can't skip an and bro. Dont do both at same time. Especially not after the other thread. And you gotta read my posts with a humorous light.
Edit: Read the first post on this thread. Had you said "Fuck you jade" right now you would've been banned. However, they weren't banned because it was clearly comedic. Jade even replied with his own joke.
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed. Everyone, please send me a message if you think anything on the site is heading in the wrong direction. Trust me, I make a lot of mistakes, and if everyone agrees that doesn't help to get things resolved. My friends list is full, but if you join our Steam group chat, you can send me a PM.

Out of curiosity, if you've never had an issue with me, what's the issue?

This "denial of free speech" is nothing but a way to keep things more civilized than a 4chan board or Reddit, and it has been one of the reasons why the Jedi Academy clan I'm part of survived even after 6 years, and is still going on. Then there's the fact that you are feeding trolls if you argue over obviously stupid things with them, or if you even show at least a vague sign of giving them your attention.

I always count the lines over. But y'know, you can always check your replies to see if someone replied to you.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah but the reply feed sometimes does not work properly. And counting lines is quite painful when you are trying to follow a conversation.
Comment has been collapsed.
True, true. And at first you don't even know what lines to count :P

I believe he replies to Jade's post asking if you wanted to bait. His post was humorous because he reversed expectations. When one shouldn't be baiting, he outright says "/bait". A common comedic technique.

I just closed a thread with nearly four hundred comments. If I had actually wanted to waste my evening doing so, I likely would have banned 95% of the people posting in that thread. I do not. I refuse to even go past the first page of that nonsense. The thread's topic was something entirely unnecessary and could very well have warranted a suspension for re-opening a closed thread, regarding supposed misinformation about Steam accounts being shut (on that note, please do not spread misinformation, especially after being proven false). The comments were volatile on both sides. There was no-one in the right, and everyone was in the wrong. Keep things civil, please. If there is an issue with a specific user, take it up in private before it gets too far. Whatever happens, keep your cool and don't be a dick. We understand there's some people who get on your nerves and you'll lash out at them, but there is a line that can be crossed and a four hundred comment thread of people yelling at each other crossed it a long time ago.
Happy New Years, everyone. Don't drink and post.
