The Eternal Thread: We're a Tortoise Now

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

I fail to see what's the problem in that. This is a chat thread. Did you expect something other than people posting?

The purpose of this thread is quite clear, but it's nice if conversations do not tragically drown in a deluge of greetspam and other forms of white noise. Moderation is the key, so to speak.

My sole contention was the role playing. That has died down. I fail to see anything bad on people greeting each other.

[Coffee Cakes]

Nana and Galla, agreed fully with both of you.

If only they'd use the block button.
But common sense is hard sometimes, no?

[Dumb Ideologies]

I'm inclined to agree. I'll be honest and say that Maldo annoyed me from time to time, but that boils down to vastly differing views, and I'm sure I've annoyed more than one poster in my time here.

There's a very unfortunate habit of turning dislike into persecution here. Innocent until proven guilty, etc etc. I'm staying neutral on this one until proof comes to light.

Understandable. And I must say I agree with your take on persecution. There are several posters whose styles of posting and the things they say annoy me to no end. But I don't go running to Moderation to get them in trouble. I ignore them or tell them straight that their mannerisms annoy me.

Petty. This all was so petty. I just wanted to say it.

Nowadays if people are properly winding me up I block them for a bit.

Still, I'm pretty petty. I've currently got at least one person blocked because their flag annoys me. So I'm still offended by association ¦3

Aye, on both counts.

That's the oddest reason to block someone I've ever heard. Must be a pretty horrifying flag.

You're a monster, I say. A monster.

maybe both of them will learn...
I'd like to think they would.

Sometimes it drowns out the actual conversations going on. We found out today that where it's legitimate spam the forum has ways of shutting the whole thing down.

I want to be optimistic but experience has shown me otherwise.

I can't say you're wrong.

That and pattern of past behavior, too.

I've never really have had a problem following a convo through it, but I guess that's just me.

It's Kannap, so yes.

I don't know why, but a cold wave of distaste travelled up my back every time I saw it.

Ah, not a fan of Tom Daley, I see.

I get Nathicana's frustration. I get it so well now. I think this was a posters' failure. Completely and utterly. We did this.

I haven't blocked her TGs due to ether flag, I wonder why she has that flag, but I haven't blocked her for it.

[Dumb Ideologies]

It's Kannap, so yes.

I don't know why, but a cold wave of distaste travelled up my back every time I saw it.

Ah, not a fan of Tom Daley, I see.

Don't say it's name! You'll summonses the creature!

*rocks back and forth*

Yeah. This incident was all on us as posters, especially those of us that get along with both.

Still, I find flags rather easy to ignore. Some bug me, but I don't find it a reason to put someone on block. The four people I've blocked are all due to their debating skills, or rather their lack of them.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

It's Kannap, so yes.

I understand completely.

I think there should be a function similar to the one that turns off sigs, but for flags.

You're a monster, I say. A monster.

I fight the monsters through the magic of snide comments and being a jerk. An anti-hero magical girl for our complicated times.

[Hurdegaryp]

I understand completely.

She'll grow out of it, I'm sure. There is still hope for Kannap.

I hope your view prevails. I really do.

You're the heroine we need.

Yes, yes, definitely.
