I'll try and make this as clear as I can. I'm for NO rules beyond people breaking laws. Real threats are illegal in the real world. But....that isn't going to happen. What is happening In.My.Opinion. is that with vague insult rules with loopholes and now this "baiting" I read about today people with unconscious bias towards friends that hold similar political beliefs are likely to favor that poster. I swear to God right now if you're reading that other thread and threaten me in any way I do NOT want you banned... Long story short I think the rules are stupid.
Also we went to the casino for about a half an hour. Why only a half an hour? Because my .40 cent bet won me $800. Wasn't going to get any better than that, lol.
You guys believed that? I was joking, dude! I have NO respect for any of you! What a stupid thread! However I should add that the people in this thread are not personally stupid yourselves, per se intrinsically, with any ontological or existential certainty.
So cute. My wife has watched a couple of netflix shows called Dogs or something. She showed me the end of the second episode. No spoilers if you wanted to watch it but I love seeing dogs that missed their owners. You know those people are good to their dogs.
Really??? (Rolls up sleeves) Sly, first of all, I didn't invent that shit. EVERYONE has done it. Acting like I'm even the main perpetrator of that skirting of the rules and that only I need to change in that area so we could "make the forum more enjoyable" is some bullshit. The MF complaining about it now (when it hasn't happened for months) has even done it before.... Second, when's the last time you've seen me do it? You're a mod, I'm sure you can find the date when that happened. I'd wager to say it's been upwards of 4+ months. Third, nothing I've posted on these threads has been against forum rules. MFs in here on their crusade again... You know it. They actively try to bait me all the time then feign outrage and now they're bringing up something that hasn't happened since I put cippy on ignore. I haven't don't SHIT that needs editing or deleting. Why don't you talk to him about ACTIVELY baiting me? I Because that would make the forum more enjoyable...
Long story short, don't single me out about a skirting of the rules that you and most everyone else actively participate in.
See @SlyPokerDog this is some BULLSHIT. Again, I didn't invent that shit and no I'm not the "most obvious example" of none of this shit. It's bullshit, I haven't done ONE FUCKING THING that needs any correcting...
Yes, trolling is allowed. I'm pretty damn good at it and enjoy it. I also think baiting can be allowed. If you're doing it to have fun then I'm not seeing a problem with it. If you're doing it to piss someone off or to be a dick depending on the severity then a mod may step in. There are times when it's best to be more of a fireman than a cop. To put it out before it fires up. Primarily because I get tired of bouncing into a thread and reading post after post of two people teeing off on each other. And no matter what I do, which posts I delete or don't delete, someone is going to be upset and complain. Me changing news article titles from Trump to Hillary is trolling, HCP posting a blurry picture and saying it's Melo is trolling. But they're not mean spirited and are meant to just have some fun. Other posts that are considered trolling or baiting can be very mean and for the sake of a healthy community every once in a while they get removed.
