@chay: I never liked the winna threads to begin with.
@VF: Nurdy's been doing sucky ones longer. Making fun of his names is traditional.

I like the title, there should be no hard and fast traditional test thread title. We'll keep it rotating. Everyone should have one named after them.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR> Originally posted by Teral:EvidenceOkay, the conclusions I draw from that thread is: spamming is now an accepted approach for getting a thread closed. And on top of that it's even Moderator-sanctioned. So the next time someone open a POTM-thread before the final day of the month all I have to do to get it closed is post 8-10 spam-posts? If that's the case, I'll make use of this new "tradition". Obviously noone will care about this, or you'll tell me I'm over-reacting, but I must say I'm really disappointed in Otis and Zeep. I don't know why they took it upon themself to get Idan's thread closed. From where I'm sitting the thread had a valid topic and generated some debate. Certainly better than most threads nowaday. The thread didn't attack neither of them, but rather than ignore it they spammed it.  |

Both of those work for me. Originally posted by Pikka Bird:
Well, Tweek, you did close the thing. The banning was completely in order, but I say the closing was kinda a sign of weakness since it was pretty much what they wanted, I guess.
Thing is, if they wanted the thread closed, there were more sensible options open to them, either emailing or IMing the mods would've been a start. Rocket science, it ain't. |

Well. Gorky has decreed it, and so I must follow through. Jicannon, Chay! I challenge you to fisticuffs! Standard queensbury rules apply... to you. I, however, will be using by trusty length of rebar. Or a knife, whatever suits my fancy. Also, I refuse to move, so you'll have to get plane tickets, or at least chay will. I don't know where Ji lives. Oh, Wooter. *swoons* Dueling to the death is so romantic  ...

Still, I agree that the blame rests with Zeep and Otis. I was alerted by a member of the board that there was a thread full of spam, I didn't have time to fully deal with it then so I closed it rather than deleting it all, when I found there was a new thread in the morning I considered deleting the spam, opening the old thread then closing the new one but decided it was better to alert mArc.

By the way, what is the actual point of a test thread? Besides burning Nurdy? If you really are ignorant... The test thread is "officially" designed to test out new avatars and signatures, but has become a place to discuss random topics that don't merit their own thread. I like the title though. Bravo Nix.

We'll keep it rotating. Everyone should have one named after them. “Catty in disguise with diamonds” “Wooter you doing?!” “Velour PettiFoggery” “Melll O’Drama” “newhook_ed on fonics” “Beamer up, Scotty” uh... more to come, I suppose...

@Melll & Tweek: You'll notice I was acknowledging the justice that was dealt to the culprits and I think I didn't insult Tweek for his decision. What I was having a go at was that, ultimately, they got what they wanted (if they can get the ban lifted without too much fuss, of course). I'm sure if Tweek was insulted, you'd know about it. I sure didn't see it that way. I agree with you, fella, they did get what they wanted, but it was a haphazard way of doing it. Never mind, it'll all be back to normal, they'll be unbanned, and we'll carry on as if nothing has happened. ..and all will be right with the world.

Fair enough. I just got the same impression as Pikka, that they got what they wanted through spamming and blatent disregard for rules and common courtesy. Which made a bit miffed. Well, the crime is solved, sentences have been measured, justice is served. And all was well in the land of PEEL. Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice...
