You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

Well TGP I value you and the other Mods hard work and dedication. Have a game of Mudpit Massacre on me.

Achilles: A karma system MIGHT be cool. But the rewards for such a system (if any) should NOT be the power to blacklist one person of their choice.

And, incase I didnt make it clear, I think the mods do an absolutely fantastic job. For free.

No not to blacklist anybody. But a nice Frankie towel...

I think it was a joke. If the mods want to express their opinions without always watching, I think we shoud eb able to do the same. I see no reason to be more formal with the mods then with any other member, under normal circumstances.

Granted, but don't you think the mods go through additional scrutiny? Everything they say gets put in captions, and repeated over and over. They didn't become moderators by strolling in and being handed their powers, they worked as members of the community before they we modded. And now for all their hard, unpaid, work, they are being criticized. That seems awfully unfair to me.

if you stopped trying to make yourself smart for a single moment, you would realize that idea was a joke.

If you stopped and thought for a moment, you might wonder why so many people are having so much trouble telling your jokes from your real suggestions.

GMC- It's hard to tell sarcasm from serious suggestions online- you can't change the pitch of your voice to imply that the statement was, indeed, sarcastic. So the answer is yes, you do need to add the /sarcasm.

For instance, tell me if this is sarcastic.

Shishka is a great mod.

Without knowing about my background you wouldn't have a clue.

Woah! A double random! A surprise visit from Ninja 0n Fire and a completely random statement! This must be lucky! Mabye a sign of a good year to come?

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Or the end of a scary one.

Hang on, what's wrong with trying to make yourself smart? I mean, just because pop culture tells you that the "establishment" (whatever that is) is out to get you, doesn't meant that you should reject the whole idea that a significant part of self-improvement is increasing your intelligence. Heck, if you're going to fight the establishment (or whatever the -blam!- it is you think you're doing in this thread), being smart is probably the most valuable asset you have.

Wait, let me guess, that was a joke, and I need to lighten up. Hey, maybe this whole thread is a joke.

Actually, now that it comes to it, the thread is a joke, but in case you don't realise it, the joke is on you Give Me Cookies. Seriously, why hasn't this moron been banned yet?

Oh, and it's good to see Newnab's back. You rock. :)

Spleen-venting, Reig. And spleens (and the venting thereof, voluntary or not) are certainly on-topic for a Bungie community forum. Ha-ha!
