    He's given me a few posreps for former posts, that's probably good enough. I can be good, although just one last bit of defiance--

    There appears to be a measure of a double standard. Allegedly, from Nukular Winter, Vash likes to whip out the banstick for mentioning the Incident-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named, and necro-ing is largely despised. I broke both of those rules, and was accordingly punished (not with the banstick for the Incident-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named, I edited that post, so I just got some negrep) Both of these are rules. Is there a reason why having too many/large (depending upon how you look at it, thank you Jeram) pictures, which may be taxing on weaker connections, is better than mentioning the Incident-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named?

    One rule is not equal to another rule and the consequences for each rule are dependent upon incident, case, involvement, etc.

    The pictures according to most, are humorous - rotflol even; I generally even edit them down for the rule. But a few slip through and believe it or not, that isn't as grievous as bringing up an issue that divides the forum greatly - the PottersPlace 3 incident.

    You seem keen on pointing out on the forum's flaws/oddities (ie "Trash Bin" and double-standards) but step back a second, and ask yourself - who are you to question them. You just joined. The forum works fine, no one complains about the trash bin and the only person who found extreme merit with my pictures is you. At least be apart of the forum for awhile and try to understand the system before questioning it's working parts.

    I had a snappy retort, but I remembered my promise to be nice.
    #1. No.
    #2. Truth.

    Thank you, Shuujaku, for your insight combination of a question and a comment.

    JJ

    EDIT:
    And thank you, BP, for your input on the topic. However, I have to say that I am not the first person who has commented on your pictures/animations. I noticed that your animations have been commented on before, in reference to the rules.

    P.S. Your super smash bros. reference was amusing, I admit.

    EDIT2: It's really hard not to be scathing/sarcastic, I hope you appreciate the hard work I'm putting in here.

    Then I suppose the rules will have to be modified if it causes such a large fuss for amusing pictures to be posted which I myself signed off on (which if you didn't know, should be more than enough mandate). Not a problem.

    However, I will ask you once to stop acting like a moderator. You aren't one. I appreciate the thought, but if you see a problem PM a moderator about it and they'll deal with it. Frankly, they know much more about how the forums work and know the rules better than anyone. That happens to be their job.

    In complete, and utter honesty there are double standards here. The IRC user's and older member's can get away with alot more, because well, they are more known and people have the ability to confront them straight away on an issue, in fact we have daily arguments in IRC.

    I have to admit Darius was being a twat when he told you you couldn't tell people about the rules, especially since we tell every new member to read them and we bitchslap those who break them.

    Most of us have gotten used to Merril using pictures to express his opinion, unfortunately he has a very limited vocabulary, unless he is angry, aroused, or drunk. Most of his image posts have been within the rules, and we tend to ignore the few descrepencies, because, we mostly find them amusing, almost as amusing as his oh-so-sexual-and-erotic legs.

    I'm afraid the active member's have become a pseudo Tightknit group, we normally ignore each others faults (Such as Gio's fifth nipple and Vash's naked photos.) And as Raven is the so called Alpha-freak and just posted before I could post, I am afraid I will have to dance, dance like I freaking mean it!

    *dances.*

    It wasn't a rebuke Shuu, why the hell are you pointing out something about my "rebuke" and mocking it when you didn't even get the fucking point of the post. I said that I liked him and his posts, but not the attitude. So I'm obviously not going to be flaming and measuring my dick by bashing a new member with an opinion. I'll leave that too you and your obviously much larger penis.

    We tell new members that Surrarin, in the intro thread so that they know what not to do. This, we tell new members that so you can just stfu argument doesn't hold any ground. NEW members are told that, not new members telling other members to look at the rules, when the rule that he is trying to "enforce" is one that is continually broken and has been for a long time. If it was a problem don't you think it would have been adressed before now? I would have expected Japanese_Jew to realize that it happens and that if it was a problem, an admin or mod would have put a stop to it.

    There is a difference between telling someone not to Necro or double post and telling someone who posts pictures on a regular basis that they can't do that. On that topic, I seem to have seen at LEAST 5 fucking posts telling him he's not a moderator, so again, throw it out the window.

    This is not an into thread and you are adressing something that I said to Japanese_Jew that he never voiced a problem with.

    Well, that's one thing I learned fairly early on-- Lord Ravenclaw's word is law. I won't be a moderator.

    I got the point. You can't deliver a firm pimp hand to save your life. o_o Sounds like the point to me.

    ...But when did I bash a new member with my opinion and/or why would you leave that to me? Don't go on a peon-rant about me getting your point if you're going to turn around and be a dicksauce.

    (Oh, and your mom likes my obviously much bigger penis.)

    PS: I dedicate this post to Cervus for the lulz.

    How about we all just shut the fuck up and forget this retarded thread even existed. Seriously, who cares that it's called the trash bin? That's what is in it... trash. Who cares if Merrill posts random pictures in useless threads? I thought this thread would be done with after Raven posted, but here you guys are, still flaming each other. Stop lowering our IQs with this stupid bitch fight and get back to intelligent posting elsewhere, thank you.
