Well, the main point of my post anyways was that he lets stuff like that go on and then contributes to it...

True, I personally think pony threads should be banned on the main forums, they're saturating the flood and they never lead to anything productive anyways.

In fact it's stuff like the Pony threads fad/flame wars that makes me seriously think the flood causes more bad then good.

True, i have made countless threads saying how we should ban pony threads in the flood, they usually get ignored/locked within 2 pages... However the flame wars go on for at least 10 pages before getting locked...

I never thought the Flood did any good but now this is ridiculous.

Just report the threads if they are breaking the code of conduct and the ninjas will take care of the rest.
HAHAHAHAHAA!!!!

Thats a good one. The Flood ninjas do absolutely NOTHING except flame us more. You want proof we have pics of them actually flaming us...

Really? Please, give us some photos, sounds funny.

Alright, gimme a sec, my internet is really slow today for some reason

Just to add to John's post, don't report the MLP stuff just because you don't like it. People are welcome to discuss it as they please. Flame wars over MLP will start just how flame wars will start over anything else.

Besides, the ninja to thread ratio during certain hours aren't ideal. Don't abandon hope. :P

I hope this makes your day, OP.

I'd recommend reporting only the violating posts. If the thread itself is offensive, then report it.

I don't like the MLP fad, but trying to fight against that sort of memetic internet mentality is just ludicrous. You'll at least have to deal with the fact that it exists.

Lol, well that isn't really flaming,
Joking or not, he said that we have intercourse with ponies simply because we enjoy a television show that is not only geared towards children, but their parents, which many people fail to see. I don't know about you, but I don't think that children's shows today contain references to 80s and 90s pop culture, alcohol, and such. Now, what is flaming?

Respect your fellow members, or at least tolerate them publicly. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated, even if they probably deserve it.Forum ninjas breaking their own rules? Isn't that a bit hypocritical? As I have said, that bestiality comment was completely uncalled for. From Duardo's post, I definitely do not feel respected or tolerated. The sad thing is, it's the actions of a few bronies, not all of them, so we don't all deserve it. Duardo has had extensive interaction with pony threads, and as such, his previous post would be considered spam. Even though that thread developed into complete and utter spam (because of haters) and the lock was justified, that does not excuse ignorance on the part of ninjas.

I'm not even sure that could be considered as that inappropriate behaviour for a ninja, I mean everyone can make jokes/have opinions and he wasn't really attacking anyone.I understand that this is the internet, and if any random poster had said that, I wouldn't care, but in this case, the forum mod appears to be against us, which is completely biased.

The Flood trolls definitely hate us because we post pony threads. They hate it even when brony-haters post pony threads. The Flood is no place to even discuss MLP when, once again, you have the private group. With the coups, the trolls can easily ignore us with the click of one button, so that isn't a problem. Everyone has the right to use whatever coup they want. Just because I don't like DBZ does not give me the reason to call someone out on it. I would go so far as to say that they not only dislike us for those reasons, but because the majority of users who post MLP-related things on the Flood are complete imbeciles.

Duardo even went so far as to delete his post, as well as a few others because he knew that he would get flak for this. That is not proper moderator behavior.

As for dealing with the pony threads, I suggest that there is only ONE pony thread, which is somehow linked to the front board, most likely by trying to keep it a popular topic on the right hand side of the board. Any other threads should be promptly locked and their OP's given a warning. Any troll poster in the "official" MLP thread should be given a three to seven day ban without warning, assuming that a disclaimer is stated in the OP. That is simply my two cents, and I know that I have almost no influence over whether this happens or not.

I'll edit this post later with more information.

I've reported numerous threads... It's getting extremely annoying as well for me.

How is something as small as a thread on an Internet forum truly annoying you? It seems like you have the report part down but still need to work on moving on.

I`d like to see pony threads gone on the flood. we have a group for that stuff. ninja`s please, ready the banhammer.

The Flood is a giant pithole of trolls who think spelling a word wrong will become a meme, and parody threads are hilarious.
Community forum is much better.

IT WAS A JOKE.

There was a point where the rules themselves indirectly through the use of sarcasm called every forum poster extremely immature.

Hell he didn't even imply that, he was simply poking fun at the name "brony", he didn't even imply that MLP fans were fans in favour of beastiality. (Although given the amount of MLP -blam!- I've seen without even looking for it I highly doubt that there isn't at least a few who get turned on by that sorta thing)

You're taking everything far too seriously.


Also forum mods are always biased, I mean it's impossible to have a person without bias, they all have opinions and they can think for themselves but the Mods wouldn't Lock a thread/ban/warn a member without it being warranted in at least some fashion, they don't just ban people without reason.

I find it funny how he deleted his posts once the subject was brought up.

And I don't care if it's a joke or not. That doesn't give me the right to go around harassing other members and then saying "hurr durr, it was a joke and I'm not at fault." When you post something like that in a thread that is tyring to defend bronies, you will get attention, especially as a moderator. There's a difference between being light-hearted and being irresponsible. As a forum ninja, I expected better from him considering his past history.

*Facepalm*
I suppose jokes aren't acceptable anymore, you know as long as they're a jab at YOUR interests.

You know what happened when there was a thread created highlighting the jab at the community's maturity inside the rules? Everyone had a nice bloody chuckle about the whole thing.

Why can't the same apply here?

There is a time and place for jokes, and that was clearly not one of them. Besides, why are you defending Duardo so much? I'm not going to take shi­t from people who insult me. The solution would have been for Duardo to lock the thread and move on, not CONTRIBUTE to the trolls. That is counter-productive and the polar opposite of a moderator's job. He decided to leave a troll thread unlocked and didn't help one bit. Not only that, but he posted at least twice. I also like how none of the trolls in that thread were banned and the bronies were blamed.

Well if the Bronies didn't make hundreds of threads/posts daily saying how much they love ponies this wouldn't even be a -blam!-ing issue, the only reason I'm really defending Duardo on this is you're taking A JOKE far too -blam!-ing seriously, like god the only reason someone should be getting so defensive is if the joke had a sliver of truth to it ... like if all bronies are secretly pony rapists.

Everyone makes mistakes. Doesn't him deleting his post and locking the thread mean that he regretted making that post in some way? Making a big deal about moderators is stupid.

You didn't see The Flood in June. Every, literally, almost every, pony thread was someone hating on the bronies. Almost no discussion threads.

This is the real kicker right here. How many threads do you think are made by bronies versus brony-haters? You'd be surprised to see that the majority are clearly made by MLP haters. Granted, there are two or three bronies who are constantly making threads, but action is already being taken against them as we speak.

the only reason I'm really defending Duardo on this is you're taking A JOKE far too -blam!-ing seriously,I think you're missing the point. Please re-read by above post and comment again.

like god the only reason someone should be getting so defensive is if the joke had a sliver of truth to it ... like if all bronies are secretly pony rapists.This is where, although I thought it wasn't possible, I lost even more respect for you. It's a television show. A. Television. Show. Duardo insulted the watchers, not the show itself, which is why I have such a problem with it. Personally, I'm annoyed by two things, and mostly only these two things:

1) People who hate My Little Pony make threads, and yet bronies are blamed.

2) Moderators take action against bronies, but not the trolls who post in brony threads.

And trust me, these aren't just my issues. I have an entire 300-member group backing me behind this.
