Was someone "pulling the strings from afar" for this whole event?



I should hope it doesn't take a team strategy to pull off such fucking nonsense - and if does, what does that say about the intelligence of the people involved?

But in this situation, what I remember happening was just someone suggesting it jokingly and other people following through.

If someone said, "Man, I hate that George Bush f.ucker, someone oughta kill him!" and I said, "Hahaha, do it yourself you lazy f.ucker!" and that person went and did it, would I be at fault?

Edit: Seriously, I can say fuck but it censors f.ucker? Man, just ban the word outright if you're gonna do that.

Originally posted by lücid it's worth it to me because nonsense like what happened last night has happened FAR TOO MANY times (i'll just assume you weren't here for or you don't remember all the "FAO: ____" threads or the "_____ on TA" threads), and it really fucks off the mods that have to spend an hour of their time on a Sunday evening cleaning up the forums. sure, we technically don't have to clean up the forums. i could have laughed and closed my laptop and totally ignored it... unfortunately i care about this forum and many of the people on it and i try to do my best to keep it fun and entertaining for everyone. if that makes me a bad person then i don't know what to tell you. btw, it wasn't just 1 or 2 threads. it was this many: if actions like that don't go unpunished, stupid shit like that will keep happening. you might think it's harsh that i suspended so many people, but i only did it to send a message to everyone... message being, "plz don't do this again!" and what fucks me off even more is that in the thread where everyone was conspiring to create a bajillion birthday threads to "FREE" Ygrene, a mod posted that Ygrene wasn't even suspended, BEFORE everyone even went ahead and bumped/created birthday threads... and no one listened to him!

why not set a work filter for birthday then? i mean sadly as it is i do agree that having 2 pages of the same post is very retarded. the fact of the matter is i really didnt think anyone would take notice at my orginal comment but hey people did so eventually at somepoint i have to try and make a point reguardless of how valid or invalid it is. however i stand by my point that a message board is a place of useless threads when the area of the forum is based soley on that useless threads.

So I got your PM a while back. I feel like an asshole, I'm terrible about reviewing just about... everything; mixes, tracks, etc. I'll post up a review when I get out of the shower.

I don't even remember what it was about.

Thanks for the thought though, you made me feel special today!

this thread has become very interesting. it started out as quite a legitimate "why" thread and now its become just an attack on myras mod abilities

frenchie and others: there is a difference between saying "lets do ______!" and actually doing. im sure youve heard of jackass...who hasnt...they have had a disclaimer saying "dont do this at home" yet kids all over the country EVERY day do this shit. does that mean that jackass should be held responsible? hell no. they chose to do something either illegal or just plain stupid. same thing goes for this bday thread thing.

also INCITING violence is against the law. SUGGESTING violence is not. why? because if i say, "we should go kill a black man" but some dumbass actually does it, then he is at fault. reason being HE chose to kill the guy. even though the i put the idea in his head that dosent make me responsible for his death. now if i actually had a slight participation, such as i watched it happen and did nothing, then that is INCITING violence. you all (the ones that are obviously not understanding the gravity of the situation) need to understand this.

zxdevil: you sir are quite amusing. your attacking someones mod abilities yet you obviously dont understand the point of a mod. they are to keep things under control (reasonably of course) and in line with the rules and policies in place. wreaking havoc, while not in the rules, is inherently forbidden. the bday thread thing was the definition of wreaking havoc.

I don't even need to read this thread to know Myra is in the right.

hey, i'm all for useless banter, and i take part in it myself quite often.

in this case though, a line was definitely crossed, and actions had to be taken. essentially that's the job responsibilities of the moderators in a nutshell, isn't it? to decide when things have gone too far and to do something to stop it.



aaaaaaaaaaaaand on that note... i'm locking this wonderful thread.

any other questions/concerns/death-threats regarding this matter can be PMed to me.
