DocLove: According to the other mod
DocLove: "Don't like it, leave. Read the rules before you start posting garbage responses."
DocLove: So was I banned for garbage responses or spam?
Zetanio: Both
Zetanio: You are a shitposter
Mina: Same thing, different verbage.
Zetanio: It's more fun if you argue though
DocLove: That doesn't make sense. Garbage responses or shit posting is not against the rules.
Zetanio: Coupled with spamming posts
DocLove: I coiuld decree anything I don't agree with is shit posting.
Zetanio: It certainly is.
Zetanio: It's basically a loophole that let's us get rid of you
Zetanio:
Mina: looool
DocLove: WHat is spam exactly?
Mina: Read the rules
Zetanio: Oh god, an existential argument.
DocLove: I've read em, you don't define it.
Mina: Great
Mina: now you understand
Mina: Spam posting is basically when you make worthless posts
Charismatic: There's no reason trying to argue it... if you try to post as quickly as possible to get rid of restrictions on your account
Mina: what defines as worthless? We defined that fairly clearly.
Charismatic: you're gonna get slapped up
Charismatic: just accept that
DocLove: Worthless is subjective
Zetanio: The Catch-All:Shitty posts are against the rules, even if they do not explicitly ‘break’ a rule. Don’t be a rules-lawyer. If you find yourself typing “but what rule, exactly, did I violate”, it’s this one.
Mina: XD
Zetanio: You may have missed that
Zetanio: There it is
Zetanio: Just in case you missed it.
DocLove: If I ask if something is available on the XBL arcade, then it's worthless to someone that already knows the answer.
DocLove: Or someone that doesn't have XBL"
Mina: lolllll
Charismatic: Well.
DocLove: Cool, again, doesn't really answer anything.
Zetanio: It doesn't need to
Zetanio: You spammed posts to 10
Mina: Yup.
DocLove: I continued to post after 10. I'm not seeing your point.
Zetanio: posted an irrelevant attempt at drama.
Mina: Lol
Mina: Guess what
Zetanio: You are really fucking stupid then.
DocLove: Essentially. I participated in posting therefore I was banned.
Zetanio: That's kind of hilarious
Mina: anyone who posts 10 posts like that back to back
Mina: gets slapped up
Mina: Unless you have relevant interesting posts in 10 minutes for 10 posts
Charismatic: Its like I said a moment ago, there's really no reason to try to argue it. Accept it and move on.
Mina: You are going to enjoy your time out.
DocLove: I'm not really arguing just trying to see into the logic.
Mina: If you don't like the rules you don't have to stay.
Zetanio: ^
Charismatic: The logic is the people who have the power to ban you think you made shit ass posts to remove restrictions on your account and they don't like that
Zetanio: It's as easy clicking the x
Charismatic: That's really all there is to it
Charismatic: Nothing can really be done
Zetanio: Watch
Zetanio: watch
Zetanio: Like that.
Mina: You had enough people report you for your spam posting on top of me watching you make them.
DocLove: I don't think you should have irrational people moderating, but that's just me.
Charismatic: Well, again
Zetanio: Do you know how many people do this shit?
Mina: I'm the most irrational, I assure you.
Charismatic: You 'can'
Charismatic: actually leave
Zetanio: It's fucking infuriating
Mina: lol
Zetanio: Yep
Zetanio: You can just leave.
DocLove: Why leave when there's conversation to be had?
Zetanio: Instead of autisting around trying to "figure it all out"
Mina: You can stay as well, idc, but if you don't follow the rules, enjoy your time outs
Zetanio: We need a new Starcade anyway
Charismatic: Preeeetty much
DocLove: This coming from someone that thinks autist is a verb.
Charismatic: The fact is, however, there's not much to discuss.
DocLove: But anyway
Charismatic: Whether you agree with the rules or think they make sense doesn't really matter.
DocLove: The rules you're enforcing aren't really rules. It subjective to whatever you deem the post to be.
Zetanio: Yep.
Charismatic: Yes.
Mina: Welcome to forums.
Zetanio: Mina, have you gone back to League yet?
DocLove: So they aren't really rules. Essentially it's what I say goes.
Zetanio: Yep.
Mina: The mods/owner gets to decide the rules of their forum.
Charismatic: Well, honestly... that's how rules work.
Zetanio: They are both here
Mina: The people who like the rules, stay.
Zetanio: lol
DocLove: SO telling people to read the rules makes no sense. You should just say "Do what I say"
Charismatic: Someone decides how things go
Mina: The people who don't, go.
Mina: Tell you what. You make your own forum somewhere.
Mina: Make your rules there.
Mina: When we go there, we will obey them.
Zetanio: ^
Mina: But as long as you're in BG's forums, you follow BG's rules.
Charismatic:
DocLove: I actually sort of understand your position but I'm telling you
Charismatic: Its never going to make sense and there's really no point
Charismatic: in trying to drill to the bottom of it
DocLove: I don't really care to, but when you abuse the little power you have on a forum it's pretty indicative that you don't have much going for you IRL.
Charismatic: because its as you say
Charismatic: what they say goes
Charismatic: that's the long and short of it
Charismatic: Either accept that
Charismatic: or don't and leave
DocLove: I've accepted it.
DocLove: I'm just discussing the rationality of it.
Mina: Also I'd watch the fine line of sassing a mod. I don't care if you do it.
Zetanio: Welcome to BG, where the rules are made up and post count doesn't matter.
Mina: But other mods might decide otherwise.
DocLove: sassing a mod that's already called me an idiot isn't really what I'd call sass.
Mina: Where did I call you an idiot?
Zetanio: I called you an idiot somewhere I'm sure.
DocLove: I was referring to zetanio
Mina: Because I didn't. If you mean I implied it because you can't understand the concept of what we're trying to say to you, that's you inferring that.
Mina: He's not a mod
Zetanio: I'm not a mod.
Zetanio: I'm just a concerned citizen.
DocLove: oh
Mina: I am.
DocLove: Which sass were you referring to then?
DocLove: Or what comment
Mina:
DocLove: I don't really care to, but when you abuse the little power you have on a forum it's pretty indicative that you don't have much going for you IRL.
Charismatic: lol
Mina: I took that as a reference to me
Mina: because I was the one who gave you the time out
Zetanio: I think that's pretty clear cut.
Mina: Not Zetanio
DocLove: So is that not fact?
Charismatic: dis nigga
Zetanio: Oh god
Zetanio: It's like staring back into 2009-2011
Charismatic: I think I love you already, Doc
Charismatic: Thank you for coming here
Mina: The sum of the matter is this.
Zetanio: I hope he's obstinate enough to keep going.
DocLove: It's an honest question. If someone in a low position abuses the little power they have, doesn't that speak pretty badly about them?
Mina: How am I abusing my power?
Zetanio: He's going to say he's speaking generally now.
Zetanio: This is now a philosophical argument.
Mina: Because I followed through with my duty as a mod to give you a proper time out?
Charismatic: lol
Zetanio: CHARISMATIC LET'S TALK ABOUT SEMANTICS
Zetanio:
Charismatic: You know what man
Charismatic: I really miss this
Charismatic: Its been a while since this happened
Zetanio: This is certainly refreshing
Mina: Honestly, I am being quite generous with you. Most mods would have given you the ban and moved on.
Charismatic: That's honestly very true
Zetanio: Yeah, Brill would have banned you into the next century
Zetanio: and then gone back to talking to Abandon about blouses.
Mina: I even let you get your 10 posts to put up your thread first too.
Mina: Most mods ban as soon as they see the 5th or 6th
DocLove: Brill also gave me a 12 hour with poor logic. But it's not really worth elaborating anymore.
Mina: We never even get to enjoy the beauty that is your lackluster thread.
Zetanio: Guys, don't worry. DocLove is the smartest guy here.
Charismatic: Of course man
Zetanio: In fact, he's the smartest guy in the room every time.
Charismatic:
DocLove: Are you a member of Mensa?
DocLove: Nope
Charismatic:
https://www.mensa.org/
Charismatic: There you go
Charismatic: a community that you'd fit in with a bit better
Ragns: Awww... looks like a missed a good skull fuck time =(
Zetanio: He's still here, you can skull fuck him.
Mina: XD
DocLove: Yes, participate in the forums - get banned.
Zetanio: Need 10 posts to post URLs or promotional content. If you think this is an error please contact one of the site admin and they'll fix that for you. You can usually contact an admin quickly using the BG Chat in the top navigation bar. Also if you spam posts to reach 10 we'll skull fuck you.
Zetanio: welp
Zetanio: That's pretty explicit.
Charismatic:
Ragns: It doesn't need to be improved... people need to read it
Charismatic: Is there any way to make it flash different colors
Charismatic: so its hard to ignore
Zetanio: Make it like Rara's title
Zetanio: Scrolling rainbows
DocLove: 1 post in 1-2 minute is hardly what I'd consider spam.
Zetanio: Good for you.
Ragns: Well they got to the part where they need 10 posts since they try to act like douche by finding a way around the forum rules
Mina: Thankfully for everyone on our forums, you don't make the rules here.
Because otherwise we'd have to wade through all those posts.
Charismatic: I guess you'd need to link to a dictionary definition of each word in the post
DocLove: I'm pretty sure an actual spammer or bot would be more than obvious to spot.
Charismatic: like when you click spam, it links to a definition of spam
Charismatic: 'cause this guy won't get it otherwise
Zetanio: There are mechanisms in place that autoban that kind of stuff.
Mina: We like to keep out people who spam in general. ALTHOUGH.
Mina: If you wanna do those kinds of posts, we have a place for it.
Zetanio: I mean, I totally spam posts.
Ragns: I must admit that is the most entertaining post spammer in a long time
Zetanio: Yeah, he is.
DocLove: If I'm a post spammer than alot of people on your boards are post spammers as well.
Zetanio: Yeah, but they've been here awhile and they aren't spamming to start useless threads.
Charismatic: Actually, is there any way we can just unban the guy but give him access to spam only? I actually kinda like the dude.
Zetanio: Spam only would be awesome
Charismatic: He can come post with me
Mina: We have a specific forum where the mods let you do pretty much whatever you want. It's paradise. You can go play there after your timeout is over, DocLove.
DocLove: I'll pass.
Zetanio: I spam post like once a day.
Zetanio: because that's when I respond to all the threads I care about
Mina: That's too bad, they would have loved your company.
DocLove: You spammed 9 in somehting like 15 minutes on my thread.
Zetanio: It's great.
DocLove: Ironically, I'm a spammer, you aren;t.
Zetanio: It's not really ironic.
DocLove: It is.
Charismatic: Ironically, the rule specifically says to get to 10 posts...
Ragns: There was supposed to be a system to block people trying to post more than 5 times with a fresh account, created less than 24 hours ago, but sonomaa thought it was funnier to keep things as is
Charismatic: so uhhhh
Zetanio: This is much more entertaining.
Mina: Ragns, this is way more fun.
DocLove: You're saying there are no regular rules against general spam? Let's take a look at the rules again.
Sonomaa: You did not ask me about that sort of thing 24 hours ago
Zetanio: Sonomaa, we have a real winner today.
Zetanio: This is great.
Ragns: ur a 24 hours
Charismatic: lol
DocLove: "Low-content, worthless posts that add nothing to the discussion are not tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to: trolling, inciting or participating in derails, bashing another user because you don’t like them, off-topic posts, single word posts"
Zetanio: Man, it sounds like I did all of that.
Zetanio: Every single one.
Charismatic: RIP Zetanio
Charismatic: njoy ur ban brah
Zetanio: HERE LIES ZET
Zetanio: GOLDE AND BRO
DocLove: Pretty much but you're welcome to break the rules as the mods see it.
Charismatic: lol
Zetanio:
Charismatic: We already said yes to that
DocLove: yes to what?
Mina: Welcome to BG. lol
DocLove: Welp cya. You lost probably a decent frequenter to your forums. Continue to abuse what little power you have left.
