Say hello to my friend Mr. Exaggeration.
| QUOTE | Oh I don't know, maybe it's because trolling is against the rules?
And for ****'s sake, you even get a first time warning for this. Pull your trousers up off the ground, tighten your belt, and deal with it. It's not like you're going to be killed on the spot. |
You haven't implemented the trolling rule in ages and quite frankly, MFGG has been fine without it. I find it funny how most of the better members make troll posts, I dunno, every 50-60 posts. That means in around 5 days you're ****ing banned.
| QUOTE | | Starman maybe you should go to argument class or something!! |
Warn for trolling, please.

Hahaha ahh yeah you're right. Forget it then.
| QUOTE (Kyori @ Jun 25 2009, 06:13 PM) | | Yeah this doesn't add anything new to the discussion aside from evidence of some obvious anger issues. You seem to be the only person getting pissy about this, which isn't exactly mod-like behaviour :/ |
Eeeh just ignore it. Lots of noise but little action. I mean ainsworth is a cool guy but when he does all this mfgg mod crap he gets all angry and stuff for little reason.
It's like a downward spiral you know, more noise, more desensitized members not giving a crap, causing ever more noise.

Real cute there. Flail your arms a bit more and we might even get humored.

| QUOTE (Nicholas Ainsworth @ Jun 25 2009, 06:19 PM) | Because for the most part, the topic had already been resolved and yet some of your fellow MFGGers are still griping as though the forum just turned into a dictatorship overnight.
And no, I'm not so much "pissy" as I am annoyed that the majority of this discussion should've ended pages ago as Kritter had already clarified what he was aiming at in the first post.
Edit@Ylle: Thanks for shooting me in the back, buddy. Much appreciated. |
It's not shooting you in the back man, it's the truth. You gotta be real loud these days to get noticed. It's not your fault man. Nice job shooting me in the back however.

Congratulations you completely misunderstand this, intentional or not.
If you can't make posts without making senseless trollan posts that do nothing but harm, hey, maybe mfgg isn't your thing. Try another forum.

by definition, half of MFGG is more "troll" than the median, and for large populations the median tends to be close to the mean.

Well I'll be dammed - another inconsistency with the whole trolling definition? Looks like everyone is not on the same definition of trolling (whether they be right or not), which is another major problem. Let's check the rules:
| QUOTE | | Definition of trolling: "To deliberately post false or controversial messages to gain attention and provoke arguments". Members who are simply posting to annoy others to get them angry will recieve punishment. However saying that, it's not wise to take everything super-seriously. |
If you're going to implement this, at least change the wording of the rule. According to this, as Lightning said, the actual ammount of trolls is very high.
| QUOTE | This topic is so ****ing dumb, I mean not the OP or anything no, but half this entire god damn topic blows ass.
Why wasn't it locked after page 4 or something, |

by definition of "median," that is, assuming that every post has some amount (0% to 100%) of "troll-ness"
