General Chat has (should have) a sense of seriousness to it.  That is, some spam is alright, and it unavoidable.  But pure bullshit is not allowed.  I may ask adam if we can rename General Chat "Off Topic" and then get a board for topics of substance.  But even then, the forum shouldn't be for pure nothingness.

I wouldn't call it a banhammerspree because the only people I've ever banned are theorchero and advertisers.

On the topic of the lockspree, I guess it could be called one.  When a topic becomes so derailed there's no point in keeping it open to continue the bullshit, I lock it.

Also, I'm not an admin, I'm a mod.  The difference is monumental.

Another hint, calling out a moderator in public is a bad idea.  It embarrasses them and generally gets nothing accomplished.  If you messaged me and asked about it, I would have been happy to explain.  But now you've called me out personally and I dislike you more.

I've moved this to Site Feedback because it is visited less about the forums, not discussion.

I'll have to agree with sickle here, calling out an admin/mod is a really bad idea. You should know, you've seen enough people have a go at me.

IE: He's pissed at you now and instead of deleting your thread he decided to move it, to show you it's f***king pointless.

ON topic: I do agree though, some of sickles locking and muting is pointless. General chat is for GENERAL use. There can be topics about anything from ID to pancakes.

i could not agree more with this post.
calling him out is bad.
i agree that we are allowed to make a thread about anything, i could talk about my morning s3x if i wanted to, thats what that category is for (not only s3x, silly bastard)

I disagree. He should be called out. When someone does something wrong, shouldn't it be pointed out so it can change? Sickle has taken it upon himself to change GENERAL chat to WHATSICKLEDEEMSOKAY chat. He should be stripped of mod, at least temporarily, or his power should be limited.

>He's pissed at you now and instead of deleting your thread he decided to move it, to show you it's f***king pointless.
Thanks for the translation, but it's not very accurate.  I didn't move it to show it's pointless, I moved it because Site Feedback is a more appropriate place for it.

>There can be topics about anything from ID to pancakes.
See, but the point is, that you wouldn't make a topic about pancakes.  It's shitty nonsense (read my reply about spam below) and thus I got rid of it.  General Chat shouldn't just be "hey, let's just post the most nonsense we can".  It's a place for general discussion.

>I disagree. He should be called out.
Alright, next time you're in a store, go up to a manager and ask for help.  In front of all his employees, reprimand him.  See if he helps you.  Sure, you're allowed to start threads like these, this forum is free (as in free speech and free beer) but you're not helping yourself out if you want my help.  For example, a member asked me to lookup an IP for him.  He is a decent, not moron member so I told him that it was an invasion of privacy to do so, but the provided IP was not registered on the forums.  That is not a service the mods provide, it's a favor I did for him.  You think I'm going to do a favor for smighter?

>Sickle has taken it upon himself to change GENERAL chat to WHATSICKLEDEEMSOKAY chat.
Alright, let me quote Lord_Kamakazie for a second, "Even though this is General Chat, there are still rules".  When you post in a forum, it is expected that you have read the stickies.  If you have not, you do so at your own risk.  So now, assuming that you have read the Forum Rules that you were expected to, you know that General Chat has rules and structure.  Now, let's give another quote, "Spam is considered useless non-contributing posts".  I think that pointless shitty rick rolling is useless and annoying, thus spam.  It is at my discretion to punish spammers.

>He should be stripped of mod, at least temporarily, or his power should be limited.
You put it out there again that I should be stripped of mod.  Alright, cool, more reason for me to not like you.  The internet is pretty similar to high school.  There's a lot of backstabbing, petty debates, and arguing about nonsense.  It also helps to have the upperclassmen like you.

>I was asleep atm so I didnt get to see it.  was it a joke or something inappropriate?
It was a link to Warcraft IV announcement, but it was really a rick roll.

>btw the reason why i posted this in public is because i wanted to know the publics opinion
You still don't understand what you did wrong?  You stepped out of line and called me out in public.  I'm not going to call you unintelligent because then I'd be flaming, but I want you to know the offer is there if you'd like it.

>if you feel ofended sickle please by all means do!
This is why most of the forum dislikes you.

>You guys can't be dramatic like we did back in my day...
I support this.  Honestly, reading the "Drama!" threads in Staff Chat is more entertaining, at least then they made valid arguments and they discussed "serious" issues.  Now people are just complaining about little old me.

>Just don't get too carried away sickle, that's all I have to say.
I appreciate the advice.

>Now your mute will probably take longer since you made a new account. Retard?
It was only for one day, since it was not very severe.  I would mute him again for more like four days since making a new account to avoid a mute is prohibited, but I'm sure the local forum anarchists and revolutionaries will claim I am abusing my power, so I'm going to boost my PR and lay low.

>who gives a shit about that alt, that mute was a exagerated, it should of been a warning.
Think of it like this.  I gave him the mute for rickrolling, do you think he will do it again?  If I gave him a warning with no consequences I think he'd do it again.

>Can anyone tell me what the video was about
It was a rick roll.

Yes but there still are rules.
Bad example:
Pancakes!
yeeeyyyy pancakes are coool!!  Cool Cool I love pancakes hehehe!  Afro Cheesy Cheesy[img]screensizedpancake.jpg[/img]
omnomnomnom  Grin Grin

Good example:
What do you put on your pancakes?

I, myself, love to drizzle a delicious and generous amount of maple syrup, as well as cover it with black berries and strawberries. I usually get 3-4 of them and stack them to make a tower of the sort and for drinks I have orange juice. I usually only have them on weekends because then I have the time, and it is sort of a tradition  Smiley
So, what do you put on your pancakes?

You can notice the low usage of emoticons, an actual purpose for discussion, and some explanation for your thoughts. Oh, and of course the lack of a giant picture in img tags.
