One does not choose a destiny, his destiny is bestowed, shaped and formed, from the soul.

Is it fair to ban people even if they were trying to stop the discussion? Just a thought.

Anyway, props to whoever dropped the bomb on the flood thread

By posting they are promoting discussion because it bumps the thread.

I don't like carpet bans but I understand why they do it.

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

A user cannot stop a discussion.

It's best to just stand back and let the mod tanks roll.

Collatoral damage is... an unfortunate necessity.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.
~M.D~

I don't like them that much. I don't like it when innocent have to suffer because of the bad guys.

Or what if they posted once warning people of the consequences.

While this was going to happen it put many threads "out of business" because of this.

Then they've just spelled their own doom by posting.

It was Recon, who gave a great one liner might I add.

I'm not always a serious kind of guy, occasionally I'll participate in a silly thread that may not have an OP that promotes discussion, yet isn't hurting anyone. But one day, I was in a carpet ban for posting in such a thread, and now I don't post nearly as often on the public forums out of fear of another carpet ban.

Anyways, I agree with carpet bans when people post in a thread that involves breaking rules that are most strongly enforced, but not for spam-ish threads.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

People who post "report and move on" should follow their own advice.

People who post "this is gonna get locked" should know they are at risk.

People who post "inb4ban" shouldn't think that they are immune from their own prediction.

Anything else?

Yes, send a PM to every member of the Flood before they post in that particular thread. Genius.

  • 01.03.2013 4:31 PM PDT

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Carpet bans are fun!

Well, they should know not to post in a thread that is obviously against the rules.

What Recon said.

I think it's related to carpet bombing, but I could be wrong.

That doesn't change the fact that your PM idea was flawed.

The point is, if people post in a rule breaking thread, be it warning people or not, will get what's coming to them. You know not to bump it so why do it?

Again, what Recon said.

I thought it was something along the lines of 'Laying something big over multiple things at once', such as a floor.

Members are the floor.
The carpet is the ban.
You cover the floor with the carpet.
The members is the floor.

I get it, I was just asking a question. Luckily I had nothing to do with the thread
