Ming did an awefull thing, what will you do about it 7. Are you a communist? 8. Why don't you care about freedom of speech? 9. Can we have images in our signatures? 10. Will you manually insert the real join-dates for all the 1970 people? now let's see how knows most about Markos and Dan.

I'll bite.

1. No, moderators are appointed by the admins.
2. No, it's RTS.
3. No, we don't wish to get into the quagmire of adding flags.
4. No, the OT is sufficient.
5. No, it's against stated site rules.
6. Probably remove him from the forum mods list for a few days but do essentially nothing. He's worth too much.
7. Neither admin is stupid enough
8. You can have your say, but not if it conflicts with site rules, which we decide.
9. No, images in sigs gets out of hand.
10. Can't really be bothered, there are more important things on the to-do list. Also the 1970s people like the situation as it is.

Actually, me thinks Shanky is closer.

But maybe because he has read them to many times

2. No, we will not be covering Tiberiun Sun. {thread closed}
3. {complete silence while spam builds up in the thread for a few days}........... {Ming closes thread}
4. {spam builds up in thread for hours, probably days} .... No, that's what the OT is for. {more spam in the thread} .... {thread eventually dies or is closed by Ming}
5. No, you may not. {thread closed}
6. {complete silence}
7. {complete silence}
8. You are able to exercise freedom of speech as long as it does not violate site rules. {different reactions based upon moderator's or admin's mood}
9. No, images in sigs gets out of hand (NOTE: blatant copy of DrSpike's here... I think he's right about this one ) {thread left OPEN and builds up some spam before it eventually dies}
10. {thread builds up spam for a while} It's not really a compelling need. {thread left open to build up more spam about long-time posters... eventually either dies or Ming closes it, more likely it dies after about 3-4 pages of spam}

That's OK, you modified it anyway and I got the idea from either the FAQ or one of the replies anyway. So can't claim it's mine anyway

Yeah, the new deities and many other long-timers seem to have become de facto enforcers of the site owners' wishes and policies. I find this extremely amusing and not just a little ironic.

Your number 7 is better perhaps, but I used that extra minute between our posts to make mine funnier.

Now that doesn't even make sense. Even if I did have low standards, I would be holding your post to that very same set of low standards. And mine would still beat yours.

Obviously not, since someone with as low standards as you might not appreciate some forms of humour.

It sound like there should be only one political party group icon: The religion of the g0dZ (site owners) and their high priest, the Merciless Ming. :crazy:

Of cource that would be great. If people indentified their political profile next to their avatar no one would have to deal with the hassle of actually reading other people's arguments before flaming them!

We'd, however, have to pay Ming to mercilessly track down and eliminate people who chose misleading icons. Imagine you complemented on a commie's post just because he used a GOP icon?
