StarDestroyer.Net BBS

HoC vote & discussion threads are not binding; they are there to allow Senate & Mods to follow the general mood of the board about certain subjects. Since they're not binding, the rules of conduct regarding them are relaxed. Also, if the thread is cavalier and humorous, that can also be telling about the mood of the HoC regarding an issue.

Thanks, and thank you for showing us how to do Coyote's job for him.

Since I lost my job, I propose that you guys donate some money to me so I can find him and kick him in the balls. I shall film a video of the event and post it on Youtube.

I'll only agree to that if the Senate agrees to allow this in lieu of the VI title.

I mean, c'mon, if we're already kicking him the balls...

Nah, we just figured that HoC=Testing by another name.

Have a very nice day.

I can't help but read HoS instead of HoC.

Since when? I have my complaints about the HoC, but I don't think that warrants a bunch of Senators stomping around going RARGH BLARGH FUCK YOU PLEBES and ignoring basic board rules.

It's probably because they're liable to come to conclusions that they don't like. Like giving me a title other than VI.

Just for the record, after reading over some of that old shit, I think I've earned it...

Also, anybody who tries to kick me in the nuts gets a boot to the head. Consider yourselves warned.

I concur with this. Senators or not, this place is not for spam.

Awww, guys, don't VI Ryan! I like him and if he gets VI'ed, then his game will totally be fucked up in SDNW.

But yeah, he was a total prick in that Steel Dumping thread.

Are you accusing me of back seat modding? I started a thread, it got derailed a bit, and I'm not allowed to point it out? Fuck off.

Shut up Plebe! Everyone knows one's status on a BBS is ALL IMPORTANT, and you aren't an all important, exalted, and worshipped as a demi-god Senator, therefore speak only when spoken to. RAR!

Actually, yes I am accusing you of back seat modding. Sure, a light and even a bit spammy side track got taken by a few, me included, but it sure the fuck isn't your job nor mine to start yelling at people over it. You sure the fuck didn't 'point it out' rather your snippy vendetta against the Senate filled bitch was more than just that and if you want to smack someone around it does imply you think you have power to do so. You don't.

Where the fuck was I yelling at anyone about it? All I did was ask that you guys stop spamming a thread I started, and I tried to remind you that you don't get to enjoy the perks of your status without the responsibilities. One of which is to set a good example for regular posters.

This is the same sort of social control people have over you in daily life: if you're fucking around when you need to be professional, people can remind you that you need to act professionally, and sometimes a little shaming is how they do it. A moderator is more like a formal authority figure, he can tell you to stop doing what you're doing, and he can do something to you if you don't listen.

Or are you just pissed because I was right, and now you're embarrassed?

Eh, I am annoyed with the whole RAR GIVE US MORE POWAH! bit, so I thought it best to take the cork out before they burst.

I didn't spam the thread, though, if it helps any.

Have a very nice day.

While HoC threads are non-binding, and conduct is relaxed, some respectful decorum is expected, at least by myself. The HoC allows the non-Senators a chance to air their opinions, and that allows for gripes and snipes too, if that is how people feel about it.

Go back to discussing the merits of Ryan Thunder's VI title. If people want to discuss the merits and/or pitfalls of backseat modding, start another thread. If this one degenerates too much more, and any faster, you'll soon have no choice but to start another thread.

And all should glory in this moment of irony; at the descent into foolish chaos while discussing if another guy should be called an 'idiot'.

Well, there's not much point to this thread anymore, since the Senate poll already has enough votes to be closed, and this poll has very similar results.

Why? It's one thing to think the idea fails on its merits, but is it really a huge affront to your sensibilities that the regular members would like a small say in how things are done on the board? You and Thanas are acting like the HoC is demanding root access to the server or something, instead of suggesting that maybe they get, what? A 5% say in Senate votes?

And at any rate, it's not an excuse for ignoring the board rules or declaring the HoC is "Testing by another name". I don't remember that vote.

How nice of you to phrase my point that way.

Stay classy.

I described your attitude, not your point. I believe I summed up your point earlier with "RARGH BLARGH FUCK YOU PLEBES".

RedImperator wrote:I described your attitude, not your point. I believe I summed up your point earlier with "RARGH BLARGH FUCK YOU PLEBES".

Wasn't you, until you have a sockpuppet. And I don't think that is a fair assesment of my position. Hey, I can summarize your position as well "RARGH BLARGH MOAR POWR TO TESTING".

Oh, and please tell me why the HoC should now be something it never was supposed to be in the first place? It was created to have ideas brought up (yeah, what a great success that has been so far), not to take over from the senate.

Sounds like a new subject to me!
