They're great if done well.

In order to nullify all infractions and incongruities within the mains, there must be more ninjas. There are simply not enough of them or their moderating time to clean up every last crumb.

Thus, they serve primarily as servicemen who discipline the appropriate users in order to make an example of them. From these instances, it is hoped that the rest of the community would continue being good boys and girls, but as you know, that is simply not so.

The best thing that we can do here as members of the community is to hit the report button and move along. Should you feel a repeated violation of the rules is going unpunished, PM a forum ninja about it, but make sure to send them a link to the thread.

"If practice makes perfect" and 'nobody's perfect,' then what's the point of practice?"

Something tells me that he had that tucked away in a Word file for a while.

Do you like Yax? I do.

Although I agree, I haven't seen any large groups of parody threads in at least a month. What are you talking about?

PM a Ninja from your timezone and link the appropriate threads if it's really bugging you - they nearly always respond to it quickly.
There isn't a lack of Ninjas - there's just a lack of people pointing stuff out for them.

A user like ExquisiteDragon knows this, you don't need to point out the obvious.

Actually he has a point. We don't need more ninjas, we need more people using the report button. Besides, I think we have enough ninjas as it is...

True, but it's not the subject of the thread. Or maybe it is... the OP isn't all that detailed. :P

Just saying that more people need to use the report button doesn't just mitigate a problem, I believe that having more moderators, especially more active ones, do.

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.

As it stands the report button seems more like a slot machine than an actual tool. Maybe if we make the machine actually have a payout such as an increase on trust rating more people would use it.

Of course this also goes hand in hand with us not knowing how the trust system/titles actually work. Maybe if we also get a little more transparency in that regard we can come up with some better ideas.

I agree. I've always been for more transparency.

When I grow up I want to be bitter and spiteful.

"Please" is not a good argument.

Do you ever go to the flood? 1 person makes a post and then 2-3 other threads that are similar show up.

If this is the state of my art, then I secede.

A copycat thread has no discussional value.

That's what you call fun?
Parody threads? The funny ones, yes. I call that fun.

I'll admit that some of them are quite comical, but if you let people get away with doing this, The Flood will spiral even further down, becoming a bubbling pool of nonsense and stupidity. A line needs to be drawn somewhere and I think it's in a good spot at the moment.

I fail to see where this line is drawn, perhaps you could elaborate for me please?
The clever ones stay, the lame ones go.
