<div class="IPBDescription">Mod's, please feel free to delete this</div> I'm just posting this thread to say that we should all just ignore the "negative" (i.e. bannable) thread(s) that get created in O-T. Besides just reporting it, there is not much our comments will do except keep it on top of the thread list, in a place where it can get attention.

[edit] aforementioned negative thread is gone. Some anonymous mod or something. Deity help us all, if the mods move incognito.

[edit2] nvm. can we get three cheers for Delarosa?

    I see your point, these threads are designed to provoke a reaction so by ignoring them you deny the posters pleasure.

    Exactly. Instead, when you see a thread like that show up, immediately report it, and then post in a different thread so that it brings it into the "Last thread posted in" cycle thingy-ma-bobber.

    sounds like a plan.

    the one thing that always bugged me was the bad threads always got bumped because people were posting in them saying how bad they were...

    FYI, the plural of "mod" is "mods", not "mod's". There's never an apostrophe in a plural.

    /me joins Skorpy in a rousing rendition of the "ITS IT'S" grammar jingle.

    Well y'know, if there needs to be a whole thread deidicated to a simple "Do Not Feed The Trolls" policy, there's something wrong......

    IIIIIIf yoooooou want it to be possessive, it's just 'ITS,' but if you want it to be a contraction it's 'I-T-apostrophe-S,' scaliwag.

    *cough*

    Good call smokey, we must unite to betterize the community!

    Edit: By the way, I noticed the guy in question has www.myg0t.com as his homepage, what a coincidence!

    Well...you have two choices.

    You can accept my poor grammar and the fact that I was the walking dead.

    or you can go to hell, because since I am the captain of this thread, that's the only place you'll go.

    The moderating staff has asked to clean up the "silent but deadly" way, and i have been asking people that inform me on IRC to do the same.

    we do not need to encourage such "tom foolery" with our replys even if they are just a "...+1", Furthermore, i would like to issue a Semi-Official "thank you" to all those that are hitting the report button, and moving on Or Screaming at people in IRC.


    Our swift action is in part by your support.


    not meaning to encourage anything, BUT... if somone knows how to track users through proxy servers, i know a few people that would like to get a PM from you (nemisis zero). As a team, we would like to find these offenders, and take ANY actions that are legally applicable.

    Well, it appears another stupid racist topic has arisen from the bannished lands.

    Let us all says thanks to our moderators and NOT POST IN TOPICS that are blatantly offensive. Resurrect a dead thread for all I care, but don't bring it to attention or post in it.

    So everyone, how's the weather?


    (And sorry Del, i just get PO'ed by racists, and grammar nazi's...and I was dead tired when I wrote the first post.)

    Yes, yes it was. I do really well in English Comp, but for the most part i'm just too lazy to constantly keep my grammar clean and spiffy and A+'ish.

    Ok, I come back from a 2-day drinking binge (darn Buckeyes game) to find some kind of chaos and disorder in the NS off-topic community which Im assuming spawns from some deleted threads that had something racist about them.....

    Maybe I just need another drink.

    P.S., Smoke Nova, the weather bites. Its the end of November, Im expecting snow and cold, not 60 degree weather, you can't make snow for skiing in 60 degree weather, I want to go SKIING!!

    Argh, I hate being sober.

    *edit* Ok, I see now, from the other thread, thank you Smoke Nova. You now have a place in the newly formed society that I will create once nuclear weapons have all but extinguished life from this world.....
    you can be my beer fetcher <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    We know you do Burr.

    Thanksgiving is only 3-4 days away, you can drink then.

    but yeah, it was basically in lieu of a deleted racist thread.

    Ask Del/Mouse for details.

    And I am not a loud, obnoxious drunk! I am a sophisitcated lover of alcohol, it makes me stronger, faster, smarter, invulnerable to pain and verbal abuse!!!

    Truthully though, it helps me with the ladies, only because when I am not drunk, you can't get a single word out of me, but when I do drink, it relaxes my tongue and lets me talk to the ladies easier.....

    What, stop looking at me!! IM A DRUNK NERD AND I DON'T CARE!!!
