A moderator OPed the thread. Moderators have relatively actively participate in this thread. And yet these people haven't seemed to take the hint. This isn't going to stop, you know. It's the same people as always, over and over and over.

Oh come on, Blaat, if you're going to issue a knock-it-off regarding something else in the thread, surely you can do something about this report?

You're in my region, I have to be super careful when modding things that are reported by fellow region members

So I'll pass this on to another mod.

NO! Mu ultimate plans, foiled! We could have ruled all of NationStates, together! We could have created paradise!

*ahem*

Right, that makes sense, thanks, Blaat.

Nope. Not even remotely actionable. Can we please stop pretending that when people use internet lingo or use a meme, its actionable.

viewtopic.php?p=27544550#p27544550

Wouldn't be actionable without the self-admitted trolling....which I'm not inclined to act on....since he wasn't trolling in that post.

Not only is this not actionable, its hilarious.

http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=27547115#p27547115

I mean, with a list this long we had to find something right? Addressed

http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=27547138#p27547138

Addressed.

http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=27547457#p27547457

This is just a really sad attempt at trying to meme with the memers....it failed so hard I refuse to recognize it with red text.

http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=27547821#p27547821

I don't even know what San is saying....and how is the response in any way actionable....its one word!

So of the seven, technically eight, reported posts, two were actionable. Can we all try to remember that this line appears in the threads OP

or to be used to lodge incessant and usually frivolous moderation reports when people don't conform to your expectations.

I would like to mention that I was planning to object to every single one of your non-rulings, Trans. I was in the middle of trying to be specific and clarify the reasons why I thought each post was a poor decision to not call them out. And when I was in the middle of doing that, analyzing context and all, I realized that I made mistakes. Misunderstandings. And so, I want to apologize entirely May Mays and Licana for the first exchange. Those first three links. I perceived hostility where there was none. Playfulness that I don't quite understand, but playfulness regardless. In light of that, that makes the tone of the rest of the page seem better than I initially thought. And so I'll apologize to you, too, Trans, I see the frivolity that you see now.

The one thing I will contest for a second look/appeal, whatever term is appropriate, is the last link. Regardless of the ability to comprehend what Husseinarti said, it sure seems like a personal attack in tone and was responded to in kind. One that I see now that Dutch Coolness tried to cover up. Unfortunately for him, Huskar provides:

Self serving, forced shitposting bullshit you want is dumb anyway.

Can we stop?

If we're being honest, I had the same issue for a long time. What was clearly playful banter looked a lot like asshatery to me. I can understand how these thing happen, the internet is a brash place, after all, and people who aren't used to dealing with it, like I was, sometimes just don't understand whats happening.

So, really what I'm saying is, no worries.

I admit that I didn't see the unedited quote in Huskar's post. As I've ruled, probably shouldn't again, so I'll ask another mod to look into it.

I'm not sure why you're trying so hard to get people warned or banned, but I'll bite. I realized my mistake a bit after having made the post. Several people had already replied to the thread, so I couldn't delete the post, thus making editing it out the most viable option. Sorry for "covering that up", although I'm sure I'll get a deserving ban if it's so awful.

Kinda miffed about all that, really, since trying to fix mistakes previously made is apparently an evil plot to cover things up, something I wasn't aware of so I'll keep that in mind next time.

[Bralia]

So . . . I have been patiently waiting . . . I hate letting my own reports fall back this far, I never know when I should bump or not. I don't want to nag you guys.

[Reploid Productions]

Sorry about this. Since I'm a participant in the Gamer thread, I can't rule on it, but I did send up a brighter signal flare for another mod.

[Lunatic Goofballs]

The post in the last link is not a personal attack. He attacked a post, not a poster.

Understood, appreciate the look-see by everybody!
