Post #65:

The ToS contains GUIDELINES for behavior; if you want to play legal eagle with us and consider any and all "offenses" not specifically enumerated in the ToS as fair game, then go ahead: try us.

The ToS is there to help if you're having a hard time understanding what generally constitutes being a pain in the ass. However, I believe there's a blurb in the ToS that basically boils down to any one of us banning you for a systematic series of minor, individually non-bannable offenses -- basically, if we think you don't contribute jack or if you get off a little too much on tweaking our noses, we'll ship you down the river.

I have no control over whether or not MAF does or doesn't get banned, although I wouldn't ban him anyway because he's an RL pal. Life's not fair that way. We're not some sort of idealized utopian experiment here, and you'll feel a lot happier if you accept that. Chances are, though, the longer you're around, the more you contribute, and the less fire you stoke, you'll earn the benefit of the doubt. My Lord, half the mods would LOVE to ban SolidSnakeX, but they don't because he's earned his stripes. It's the one inimitable rule around here: pay your dues by not being a pain in the ass for a year or two, and we'll get off your case and give you some freedom to stir the pot. By then, we've gotten to know you, and like you or not, you've become a predictable element. MAF has contributed a great deal, has been around possibly longer than anyone else, and has made this forum what it is in many ways. He has a big-ass old free pass, and he uses it with a sort of predictable prudence (although not enough to save his modship). He's part of the old school coterie around here, and they officially rule this shop.

If you don't dig oligarchies, even when they're largely benevolent as this one is, well, there's other forums. GAF won't change just because it isn't currently benefitting YOU. You wanna join the cabal? Read between the lines, do the time, and you can fill DS threads with pictures of hotdogs, too.

So, yeah, apparently MAF is bulletproof. Or something.

But yeah, if it were up to me, he'd be on vacation for a while. He's been on a Nintendo-trolling spree lately.

 

[Do The Mario]

Clearly it's not. Aika'svyse already posted a pic of the Nintendo Cereal System...

But I want a Japanese man in a cube!


NO SALE Nintendo


Maybe Matt can discus this in his next editorial.

Sorry! Didnt know praising Nintendo was some sort of FUCKING CRIME.

 

[Drinky Crow]

When they look in the gradient ramp sky in that second screen and see the pixellated clouds move across it in REAL TIME they'll be all REVOLUTION CRY WHY DIDN'T THE PSP DO THIS

 

[GaimeGuy]

Wait, this isn't a utopia?! OMGWTFBBQ

 

[fse]

Apologies Accepted

 

[Gaia Theory]

Please keep in mind that there is no tenure granted on this forum--your post count or association with other posters does not protect you from being banned.

That's a bit conflicting isn't it?

 

[MrAngryFace]

Was a starfox game announced for DS? CAuse they could use the second screen for big portraits of the excellent character models used in the past games. They could move their mouths as voice samples played. Id be like a video console.

 

[Aika'svyse]

New human chart represents Xbox sales in Japan

 

[MightyHedgehog]

:lol at the chart

 

[Dilbert]

For the record, discussing the moderation on this board is a bad idea. I did, however, want to point out to the newcomer what the deal was so he could sleep tonight.

End of discussion on my part of TOS on forums. Transmission failed.

COLLEGE IS FUN, I SHOULD TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT


edit:

In all reality, MAF is the Iron Sheik of GAF.

He's offensive, his act has worn thin, but he's been around so long they can't think of anything better to do with him.

Well, maybe a job in accounting.



whee, I like when Doug edits my posts so I look half as retarded as Ryan.

I know you're thinking naughty thoughts, matlock.

 

[Drinky Crow]

Yeah, and under the ToS, I shoulda been banned as well. But instead I'm an admin.

MAF's a mod without mod powers. jinx has a shiny sheriff's badge he likes to flash, but this town is still run by Tuco and company.

It's like KOTOR II.

Yeah, fuck that -jinx- guy. Constantly trying to moderate... the NERVE!

 

[Drinky Crow]

-jinx- is still having a hard time with the concept of a GOOD OL' BOYS CLUB.

 

[etiolate]

I give you boobies and you give me this.

 

[Scrow]

btw, was Willco really made a mod? He's an entertaining poster at times, but I never would've considered him for a mod.

edit: oh yeah, so much for a Nintendo circle-jerk... now this thread has become a debate about forum politics. How disappointing

 

[GaimeGuy]

Unfortunately, he was. :lol

 

[Scrow]

Maybe if I make a thread with a campaign poster and a catchy slogan. hmmm

Can I run with you as vice-mod?

 

[Scrow]

sure. standards seem to be pretty low here, so you as vice-mod shouldn't be a problem ;P :lol

 

[Nightbringer]

I remember ECTS 2000 in London just few weeks later of the SpaceWorld 2000 tech demos of Gamecube.

Whan a magazine asked Konami about the games in Gamecube their Spokesman said:

"We don´t know yet, probably we will do an ISS"

But at the same time all the developers had Xbox and PS2 development kits, but no one out of Nintendo and their second parties hadn´t Gamecube development kits.

*flashes secret gang sign*

You know, I was sitting around thinking about it the other day, and I realized that selling my gamecube for the 3rd time was a mistake. I'm just going to have to buy another one for Zelda. And then sell it again.

 

[Broshnat]

If you guys arent going to contribute to my Nintendo love fest dont bother replying. YOu guys get yer stupid OW WOW MGS3 JIZZ MY PANTS threads why cant Nintendo fans enjoy their time in the sun?

IAWTP

[DDayton]

ALL HAIL OUR MODERATOR OVERLORDS!

Wait. Sorry. You weren't supposed to see that.

Basically, MAF is TEH 1337!!!!1! around here....

And I do agree that he's been getting away with quite a number of bullshit lately......

Have you lost any money selling your GameCube shares?

You know, if you find yourself going back to the system, maybe it means that YOU LIKE IT AND SHOULD KEEP IT?! -_-;

I'd deinitely say the Gamecube is on a roll lately, but its mostly because I am just now getting to all the titles that were released for it during the holiday season. And of course, Resident Evil 4.

The DS drought sucks though.
