BBS, Here.

[BigBallinStalin]

You may know me as BigBallinStalin. My fellow ConquerClubbers, I try my marginal best to provide you with the satisfaction that you demand. In this thread, I would like to gauge your opinions of me. If you choose the path of productivity and peace, then you will find such an endeavor to be mutually beneficial.


Shall we trade? Or shall you let loose the Guns of Troll?


Your analysis is important to me because it can make me aware of more profitable endeavors. With this discovery, I will strive to equalize the newly discovered marginal benefits with the marginal costs.


Please offer a valuable defense of your evaluation of my recent performance. (500 Saxibucks will be rewarded to the best pseudo-psychoanalysis).

Moderator intervention is running rampant in this thread for groundless reasons of "things may get worse!"



I've already had threads like this where I explicitly allowed posters to troll only me. Note: no harm was done. Things did not get "out of hand."

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=163182&p=3566094&hilit=trolling#p3566094

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=166395&p=3632675&hilit=flaming#p3632675



This thread allowed for posting examples of trolling, and the trolling was rampant, but no harm was done:

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=131695&p=2883669&hilit=trolling#p2883669


The last couple paragraphs of this OP of mine explain the good of trolling, and that thread didn't cause harm:

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=131164&p=2873595&hilit=trolling#p2873595



My reasons to continue my style of self-governed trolling shall continue under good reasons.

I predict that the only cause of "things getting out of hand" will be the further intervention of unnecessary "moderation" in this thread.

Policy says that we don't allow trolling in the forums. You do not have the power to say 'here's a free pass'. Sorry, BBS. I asked behind closed doors and tried to be polite, but I'll be editing your OP now

Again, you have no good reasons for your unnecessary moderation. Surely, you can see this.

Besides, there's no rule against what I'm doing, and the previous informal laws set the precedent for allowing me to create such threads. There's no harm being done, and there's no need for top-down moderation; therefore, your position is completely groundless.

So the question is: will you uphold the informal law of CC in a reasonable fashion? Or will you pursue the unnecessary agenda of enforcing your arbitrary rules (or the rules of your superiors--if they even decided on this matter)?

[BigBallinStalin]

Hey, even if you use the reason of "no trolling is allowed. PERIOD! (EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!)," then you expose to all of us that once again your rulings are completely inconsistent. Trolling is allowed in this forum because it's not punished regularly. Many people get away with trolling--even when minor harm is created.

Why do some moderators take such a laissez-faire approach in this forum on trolling?

Because obviously the enforcement against All Trolling (as provided in the formal laws) is completely unnecessary.




OH SNAP!

IS RDS TROLLING ME?! HOLY SHIT BALLS, THAT WOULD BE THE BEST TROLLING EVARRR!!
(based on the PMs, no he isn't).

[rdsrds2120]

I apologize. I was quick to jump to conclusions on the outcomes of this thread. Feel free to make fun of him , but please keep bigoted language out your posts. That is never acceptable. We're all here to have fun, after all.

Now someone report BBS for multiple posting.

OPEN DEAL!

I'm bigoted against tools... especially tools that are too sharp. Those damn things can cut you so bad you wish it didn't cut you so bad.

DIRECT!

But no, in all srs bsns, I enjoy you and your posts.
Except when you delve deep into actually sorting things out with references and pinning definitions and bases for arguments and such... then I lose interest because I just wanna be like, "HEY DAWG, YOU'SE WRONG 'CUZ <INSERT ONLY SOMEWHAT THOUGHT-OUT OPINION HERE>!" instead of srs bsns. (AKA - too much effort required from me.)
But I appreciate you bringing it in regardless, even if it's for me because it lays down the law in a sense.

YOU HAVE GAIN!

I really just wish this forum was more creative rather than it being a bunch of opinionated assholes trying to prove something over the internets (too bad I'm one of those said opinionated assholes, guffaw, snigger). *sadface*

YOU SAID A SEEMINGLY NAUGHTY WORD!!

SEEMINGLY NAUGHTY WORD IS SEEMINGLY NAUGHTY!
Frigidus taught me that one.

Frigidus never teaches me words. He can be so niggardly at times!

We should all have an exchange over the warmth of flames.
Fetch the fagot for me, if you would, please.

The opportunity cost of responding to your survey is too high, I need you to increase the benefits of doing so until they outweight the costs. Otherwise there might be unintended consequences.

I voted for Bill O'Reilly: not because it's the option with which I agree, but merely to acknowledge an excellent wording choice.

A humorous policy, at best.

Inflate that ego young children. Don't let this Stalinist man use you to encourage his own inflating.

at least his trollishness gives at least the seeming of wit behind the blatant disregard for personal hygiene... more along the lines of devil's advocate... a certain sulfurous charnal reek that is unmistakable
