Legend Zero Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 This did brighten my day of banning several spam bots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest .Rai Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I think I should get mod powers and ban everyone in this thread because we went off-topic [/thread] If we take a good comparison on the title, "Abuse of Power", from the viewpoint of those who disagree with the stunt, you can actually compare: Mods = US Congress of course i found the stunt was just a stunt. it was funny and, at the end, nothing happened.

Legend Zero Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Since we are admin-less the mods can do anything, within our crappy powers, without fear of punishment. So yeah, sucks for you guys. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Even if it was in good fun, you shouldn't consider doing that and going that far. In all fairness, sure, it was fun. But what if a police officer threw you in jail 'just for fun', only to take you out of it a little bit later? It's utterly pointless. You're here to set examples, guys. Not play around. I'd hope you would remember that at the very least, instead of encouraging this kind of behavior. [/endshortrant]Yea, this won't happen again. And if it does odds are most of the people the currently use the forum won't be here anymore, ie: at the earliest years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what if a police officer threw you in jail 'just for fun', only to take you out of it a little bit later? It's utterly pointless. That would be make me laugh. I'm too GREAT AND MIGHTY to be banned by a single mod, it seems. That is correct. Brute force was required to shut the renitent ones like you down.

Ieyasu Tokugawa Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Idk why people suddenly think this is going to be a daily thing :/ Making this daily, or even monthly would just make it boring. It's a one-shot thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ɢαlαхy Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I wasn't actually on at the time, but the fact that people are actually taking this seriously and calling out the mods as though they were school teachers setting bad examples for children is just silly. It was just a one-time stunt for laughs; people need to lighten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/endshortrant] We're not the police.We're moderators on a children's card game forum.There are laws against cops doing that.No matter what, there is harm when a cop arrests somebody. Here, banning doesn't hurt anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest .Rai Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Pretty sure it's just stale to do it twice in a row. April Fools will be ridiculously hilarious if people think of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 People were rightfully agitated and thinking that from now on, the mods are always going to abuse their powers since it was so much fun.Really, we have the right to laugh about it, but they have the right to be mad if they were just doing something important, like typing up a fanfic that is gone now.

Agro Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 That was one of the side-goals of it.Honestly, if you'd expressed that this was to show the Admins that they should really have another Admin right after, there wouldn't be any arguments.

CinnamonStar Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Honestly... Okay I do, but only in the case of 2, maybe 3 people who explained that they were doing something important at that moment. The majority of them weren't though.

Guest ~King Crouton~ Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I figured out it was a joke when I pm'd Roxas after being unbanned the first time. EDIT: Oddly, this incident let me get to know the mods a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 If you don't want mods abusing powers, then go find YCMaker. ;D Seriously, what's a better April Fool's joke then doing it months early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was one of them. My argument is that the reasoning behind the ban raid wasn't the best and you shouldn't be surprised if people get angry. How is that a bad argument?
