SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

If you continue to give him something to quote, he'll take advantage of it. He also used to be a mod, so I trust that he knows what is too far and what is tolerable.

I think its funny personally.

It makes sense to have quote so it should not be removed, however I agree that it sucks when someone alters your words in a quote, especially if its a long thread people might not check what you actually said, then if the person who mis quoted you gets quoted you could seem to say something completely false.

Say, Matt, wouldn't you call people who do this stuff with the intent of insulting you something along the lines of a "troll?" Wouldn't it be best to ignore these kind of people who insult you just so they can get a laugh out of annoying you?

And what are you worrying about? If the person insults you, then you just ignore the person, and if a ninja sees it, they'll get rid of it (or you could send a PM to a ninja and notify them of the flaming). If the member who switches the words around sends a PM to a mod with this altered quote? What does it matter? All of the moderators should know, and most likely do know, that members can't simply be trusted by word of mouth. Every time you report a thread, you need to provide a link, and likewise, a moderator isn't going to ban you without seeing the actual quote themselves. And if it was sent over a PM? Moderators don't get involved with fights between individual members.

Believe me, there are many people who aren't intelligent enough to distingguish what you said, and what they misquoted. I always run into them when that happens. So they all end up going

LOLZORS U JUTS SED U SUXX0RS1! LOLOLOLOL!11!1!1

And I've tried notifying moderators. They've never done anything about it.

You just proved my point, Mabian. Thank you.


Really? Because all I saw from you was just you making an ass out of yourself.

Matt. you need to relax. Unless your intentionally giving impy ammo. For all I know you might be corresponding via PM. Its a conspiracy! AHHHHH!

  • 10.08.2006 1:30 PM PDT

Well in your mind you seem to have identified some sort of problem. It's the answer that I find amusing. So, because a feature can potentially be abused in obscure ways, it should be removed? Hey! How about, while we're at it, we make it where we can't type letters in our posts because sometimes people say naughty things!

The only time I've even seen such "misquotation" has been used in a sardonic tone. I've yet to see someone actually try to put words into another person's mouth to be an ass. It just doesn't happen, and as such I see this as a non-issue.

Wait...wait...I'm confused. What was your point? I think I know it, but I'm not sure anymore. Are we taking two different approaches to argue the same point, or did I just say that you're nothing more than a worthless troll and should be ignored?

But anyways Matt, is there a problem with ignoring these people?

Underground Pleasure - aren't you a bit curious?

You're gonna let a little "switching your words" bother you? C'mon...

This is a dumb idea.

You could always try Pokemon forums. They like fighting.

I know it's off topic, but I have to agree with that. The people on the Pokemon forums are complete jackasses. I got permabanned for simply asking, "What would happen if Pikachu and Bulbasaur had a child?"

To be on topic, though, you shouldn't get offended by people on the internet. No matter how terribly they change your quotes they can only hurt you as much as you let them.

Matt I see where you are getting upset, however just ignore the jerks who are misquoting you in future, that way they just seem like jerks and they have nothing to quote, leaving them without ammo. Just ignore them and if they misquote you into saying something completely unacceptable report them.

  • 10.08.2006 2:05 PM PDT

Is it really such a big deal? As a few people have suggested just let it go, Lifes to short to get steamed over a few harmless words on the internet. I've said this before but people on here just need to show a little maturity.

You'll never get a BL off a quote you duck.

If someone pms a mod, the mod checks out the actual thread.

Thats why the other guy said this was the dumbist -blam!- made.
