HEVYDEVY FORUMS

All,

I don't appreciate being made to look like an asshole. But, seeing as how I was asked to do a job, do it I must. Having fun and games is well and good, but when you push buttons just to see what lights up, you're not doing yourself or anyone else any favours. Leechmaster has been banned for one day for posting the really BAD pictures from Morning Glory. Not because the people of this board are haters of humour, but because quite a few of them were just in bad taste, and I suspect posted just for that reason, alone.

Please, if you feel the need to push buttons...take it up with the person you disagree with. Don't make the mod team have to edit, ban, delete or whatever else to keep some semblance of order on this board when it isn't necessary. I like you guys WAY too much to like doing this crap, and it makes me feel worse when it's done on purpose.

Looks like I'm too desensitized by internets - it was more unfunny than shocking for me (that troll-y, careless racism or paedo jokes are already sort of old thanks to 4chan/encyclopaedia dramatica). Good I'm not a mod, I wouldn't touch the ban button on such stuff. I'd probably totally suck at banning people for most of reasons actually :>

well, as I and we all have stated before...it makes no sense to try to cause some sort of problem just for the sake of it and to test us or to make a point or whatever. You'll find rules on most message boards, that's just the way it is. And if you can't deal with that then you might have to grow up. I can only speak for myself but I think I'm too old for endless arguements over how us mods go too far with this and that decision just for the sake of having an arguement. There's plenty of places where one can be as offensive as he or she wishes, why does it have to be this place?

anyways...having that said. Leechy's ban is a one day thing. Tomorrow it's back to normal and I'm quite sure he'll survive as he seems to be a calm and cool guy and it's not like he'll have some type of 'warned' status now as it is on other message boards so I can't see how this would cause any hard feelings. So I think this is less dramatic than one might think.

And it was to this very day to the people of teh future look back at us and know that we were all so wrong. By the gods, what did we release?

I thought cretins where something next to admins or the like. What does it even mean if someone is a cretin on this forum? :Q

I think Clare would have to answer that question, if I remember it right

I hope Clare doesn't get offended from me not knowing who they is. (can you use "they" like that in English? )

Cretin: a tag given to someone who has mocked me in a friendly way, mostly by pasting my head on teddy bears.

so it's funny, not bad or a warning.

internetz drama <3

The ever infamous Clare-Bear. hahaha

Yup.

Curiosity killed the cat...

...But then I realised it wasn't dead, so I put it in reverse and backed up. It was the loudest scream and the most blood I have ever seen in my life.

Stoney, I apologise for putting you in that position. You know I loves ya, dude.

The people from the forum who had seen these reacted very positively to them, offensive or not, so I figured it may well be a general consensus that teh 1337z0rz interwebz savvy people would get that they were a total parody and have a chuckle at their ridiculousness, so I posted em. Most funny things are funny because they are at the expense of someone/something else, and I felt those embodied that wonderful spirit of humanity quite nicely. Just because a person thinks something is funny, doesn't mean they condone it. I hardly go about putting babies on the cocks of priests or throwing KFC around while screaming "Niggers!" à la Rex Kramer or goose-stepping through Synagogues on Saturdays after work... I just think everything that can be joked about needs to be laughed at, lest the world be an even more shit and bleak and downtrodden place than it is now. Everyone gets abused in one way or another, really, and I think the best medicine for it is to try look on the funny side and laugh that sorta crap off. I accept not everyone will look at things that way. The post was clearly for few.

At least I didn't do Cobumbo... I didn't have any cigars.

I don't disagree, as a principle. I actually wear the uniform I wear and go to screwy deserts to protect the freedom for people to do exactly that, but even I know this axiom: A time and a place for everything. This place, my friend, just isn't it. There's a LOT of stuff I say/post on other forums I'd never do here. Not because I think people here have no sense of humor, but because of what the site is about and who comprises the member list. If ever I get to the UK, I'll buy you a beer and you can tell me the most fucked up jokes you want. I'll even laugh. Just not here, please?

*blubs uncontrollably*
