Abuse of Power

Kikai isn't a mod. Someone who is, MOD403, locked that thread. Looking at the thread, I also would have locked it. It's the sort of thread very much given to spam.

Oh, and your sig is too large. Check the org <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=289">Forum Rules</a>. Fix it or I will fix it for you.

God bless your soul that she went to bed just as you posted this thing or you would have been either ripped a new one, or applauded for making her laugh her ass off.

ProTip: Flaming is a bad idea. Flaming a mod is a worse one.

just wondering something, what is the exact forum definition of "flaming". I thought it was like insultive spam.

if you do donate, you can access the donator's forum, where you can post pretty much anything (reasonable) without having your thread locked.

Dokool bordered on the site's definition of "flammatory" with his use of sarcasm, but the "if" keeps it in the safe zone. You can say "if you do this, you're a moron" and as long as the person doesn't do "this" he isn't being insulted.

I don't think we actually have a definition for "flammatory" but "flames" are personal attacks and insults. They might be dosed in sarcasm or spotted with curse words. They're usually really easy to distinguish from "safe" complaints and criticism.

The first post could be taken as a personal attack if Kikai were actually a mod and he was saying she'd abused her powers because she's evil and ignores the rules in order to ruin the fun of innocent newbies. He may have been implying that she was evil, but he didn't come right out and say it. So he's bordering, but again, in the "safe" zone.

There's nothing flammatory in this thread so far. Wait a while and there might be, if it doesn't get locked soon. You'll know a flame when you see one. ;p

/re: thread in general

Maybe we should add another rule saying threads "prone to spamming" are also counted as useless and shouldn't be made at all. Only we can't, because any thread is prone to spamming if the spammers are bored enough to target it. I vote we encourage those tempting threads and grab the spammers who take the bait. ^_^

*this is me on cough medicine typing*

I nominate Kikai and Jaddziadax for Mod, I will also nominate Arigato as Mod to balance out the Force. Then I will give GodIX a plane ticket to Iraq, his presence will pretty much accelerate the war and will be over with sooner.
Feel the power!

I see a room full of people who think I'm funny... and it's empty. (Love the Vault!)
