That isn't how gravedigging works.1
You complain that trolls are chastised too often in NSG, by the regular posters, and not often enough by the mods.

Clarified.2
You've never worked as a teacher, obviously.

The answers are always false anyways.3
That's not how it works here. You are making the claim, you show the source. My experience is that the mods generally have a keen sense of humor.

That wasn't how you acted in the circ thread.

1: Yeah, it really is.
2: Meh, I think the mods do a fine job of keeping trolls in check. Not everyone who disagrees with you is actually a troll.
3: Not always, but in any case NSG doesn't exist to do lazy people's homework for them.

Go back to my first post here. Self-policing by the posters is keeps this place from needing hundreds of mods. If you think some posters are making accusations of trolling wrongfully, then of course you could always report that to the mods.

I gave my sources repeatedly, and kept getting badgered to show the same thing five, six, seven times by people who would not look at the data even once. You on the other hand have not given clue one what you are even talking about.

So, we're actually allowed to talk about the mods, and how bad they are?
I was always afraid they'd ban me if I would.
As far as I know, the only way not to be banned is to not have fun at all. Except RPs. You can do anything to RPs, and they don't care.

Both of them have been done, both RPs died, no help from the mods. And it was fun. I actually got to conquer the entire world in one game, and it wasn't even godmodding! OR World War 2! It was 1700 AD.
It was one of the funniest RPs that I've been in.

o.O
OK. I haven't been BANNED either, but the mods always argue with me about random stuff that does not make sense, and the reason they are always right is because they're mods. Everyone backs them up to get on their good side. And yes, mods do prefer some people than others, and it affects their decision. But I've only seen that in NS.

Very fun. Fun, but with the price of arguing with some random guy/lunatic/mod every week or so.

You make it seem as if this thread allows spamming and the changing of what someone else wrote.
I wish there was a spam thread, in which we write random stuff without mods interfering. No rules. Awesomeness.
