Anyone else think this unintended sequence of posts is just hilarious?

Sigh.

This conversation is no longer about winbolo and is no longer about the topic of the orignal poster so it is split apart to continue this side converstaion here.

It's a screen-grab of the topic itself.. how closer of a relation could you get?

Here's a thought.. if you're really not keen to leaving my replies as they are (or where they're supposed to be - within the original topic), how about you don't scatter them across the fucking forum (to the point it looks like I'm spamming WBN with crap) and just remove them!

becuase removing them isn't allowed by the forum policy, they don't belong in the mod forum. And we can't delete them.

I don't see one fucking mention of "splitting a topic into separate conversations" in the policy, nor have I ever heard anyone even bring up splitting as a possibility before this.

Still, what I posted wasn't spam and if sirens going to moderate my shit, why doesn't she queue up the rest of the posts on this forum and do the same?

Initially I was suggesting we move spam and flame posts off the front page. I don't think we'll need to write up a fifty page document detailing exactly how to do that. I honestly believe that adding the following line to the policy will solve this:
Moderators are allowed to move objectionable content off the front page and into a speficied forum marked for such material.

My suggestion for "objectional content" (feel free to change that to a more suiting description) would be: posts and threads that are created merely to flame another player and those that go completly off topic or hijack the thread. These posts will stay on WBN, but placed to a non-front page flame-only forum.

So you are for moving, just not splitting?

It was my intention to have a seperate flame section of the forums the way we have general and bug reports and to remove posts that hijack threads to bash and flame, or go completly off topic on the sole purpose to bash or flame. It would be similar to the match up forums, and possibly not showed on the main page due to search engines indexing the flames but thats something else entirely.

An example:

This thread is a bash right off the bat, it was created for the very purpose of flaming another player, either light-hearted or not. I'm suggesting this would be moved into a seperate public but not highly advertised "flamewar" section of WBN whereas

this thread would have some of the posts removed where a player decided to change subjects by hijacking the thread.

Both are examples of flames and using a logical unbiased conclusion (I think we're all able to do that) this would be a widely accepted solution.

What do you think?

Oh, I guess he is proposing spliting out flame posts.

jhood's opinion on our moderation is irrelevant.

Yeah.. I guess I was surprised that the unanimously ignored post I made sixteen fucking months ago was all of a sudden embedded within the site's policy but only being used on my posts. :roll:

Although, I have to say this is pretty funny:
