Remember kids: when Uncle Delta tells you he has sweeties, he isn't lying.

Now get in the van.


The Black Chapter

I think I should start a 'How much can you bench' thread, wait for everybody to lie, and watch the bans roll in.

Twitter | Nothing

I've always taken it to really be about people posting facts that they know are worong and trying to spread them as true.

I've also always assumed it is usually only enforced around the time new Bungie games are being released so as to keep misinformation at a low.

So I shouldnt tell people I am known as Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gombigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andri Charton-Haymoss Ivanovici Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser III?
In that case, if you post it enough times, it'll become true. One of those "self-fulfilling prophecy" things. People will eventually start remembering that you're also known as Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gombigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andri Charton-Haymoss Ivanovici Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser III and then it'll be okay. Although I doubt they'll actually type the whole thing out.

I was warned for being wrong.

Besides, banning someone just for being misinformed is just... stupid.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

I really have to disagree. You should make an effort to make sure the things you say are correct; talking just for the sake of talking (with little to no regard for whether what you say is true or not) is not a behavior that should be encouraged. People should be held accountable for what they say and I think cracking down on people that feel they are not (accountable) would make for better discourse on these forums.

As for dmg04, Yax, and delahalo UK, I understand you positions. It could lead to a "slippery slope" like abuse of powers; it could be used as a justification to ban those who post the examples you listed and it does seem to be (at least initially) difficult to enforce. But I still believe this rule, more strictly enforced, would be for the better. We have a set of rules which encourages our moderators to apply critical thinking to decision making. They won't be banning users for posting false information regarding how much weight they can lift, what their name is, or what they ate for dinner (all unverifiable "facts"), but rather banning users for posting information that can be proven to be false by doing a quick Google search. Since you all included an element of satire in your posts, let me direct you to a quote by perhaps the best satirist, Voltare - "The best is the enemy of the good". This community has a penchant for discouraging ideas because they are not perfect in every respect. I'd ask you not to dismiss this on those grounds.

No, ExcessiveFaun6 is not my real gamertag.

Miranda: Any idea what it means?
Sgt. Johnson: Dear Humanity... we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!
Marines: Hoo-rah!

This would've been hard before the days of copy and paste.
