Apparently Galspanic gave me a never-expiring infraction for ignoring a moderator request; Sene is going to fix it "in a bit", awful nice guy that he is

that moderator request I ignored during the forum awards is coming back to haunt all of us

quick, interact with me before my suspension is reversed and I'm never to be seen here again

Wait wait wait. You mean he's going to fix the infraction to 'never expire' or nullify the suspension?

an infraction I got on 11-21-12 or whatever was set to "never expire", but that's not correct. Hence, I should only have 2 active infractions atm instead of 3, and hence my suspension should be reversed.

suspension reversed, peace out bitches

Oh, okay, so they've decided to go for the version of that Catch-22 that makes it look like they're nice but have their heads up their asses.

ALL OF US

I can't even sleep properly at night just thinking about that forum awards infraction you got 7 months ago.

Galspanic, I am here to appeal an infraction I received recently.

The post, for reference:

To start, it could easily be argued that, by including the defintion in the mod-text rather than simply saying "infraction for trolling issued", you yourself are trying to illicit a hostile reaction from me. Adding the definition of trolling to the mod-text does nothing to clarify the infraction itself more than simply "Trolling infraction issued" does, so I'd love to hear your justification for why that itself isn't trolling.

Secondly, I'd also love to hear your justification for why
you thought this post was trolling; who was I trying to illicit a reaction out of? I provided an explanation of the previous infraction in question. Is being accused of having super-powers supposed to illicit hostile reactions? Or maybe was I saying something a bit deeper with that statement, such as:

"The staff thinks they understand the intent behind all posts, but in reality they do not. Oftentimes this leads to misunderstandings between the staff and the recipients of false trolling infractions. Their overzealous tendencies are not the only cause of false trolling infractions however, because the staff as a collective do not quite understand what trolling actually is, and this can (and has) led to false cries of "wolf!" many times in the past. The infraction you are asking about, Highroller, is just another example of the above."

Although this version does also make it less likely you'll seek to overturn your most current infraction. Sneaky devils.

[Pendulum]

Shit, okay, 'nathed.

[Pendulum]

By the way, Boxxy, I think you should know that every time I read a post of yours like that my estimation of you goes up greatly. You have a way of mixing pure intent and equal parts derision into such posts that belies a very keen intellect. I salute you, sir.

stardust is low grade iridium

ER said I need some refinement before they let me back in...

You got lapdog'd.

[Kaitscralt]

My first post after being unsuspended got an infraction

[Checkbox]

link it

are you misusing "belies"? Or just insulting me in an intricate way?

[Kaitscralt]

I'm a little late to the party but I really love this idea. I also think a more general Geography sub-forum would be useful for people who love maps and countries and continents to talk about their hobby. I also liked the other recent idea about making a job postings section, that seems great.

Infraction for Trolling.

Oh my fucking god, are you kidding me?

[Checkbox]

Already posted my outrage on ER's helpdesk. I'm not letting this one go, this is just utterly ludicrous.

You... want justice but you posted on bitchface's lapdog's helpdesk? You're kidding me right?

Justice and Sally are a bit like oil and water. The two don't mix well.

For great justice.

I thanked posts today.

[Thrillho]

your tongue in cheek comment will not be had here, villain.

[Thrillho]

i assume that's what most staff speak audibly to their computer screen every time someone from this site is caught making a snarky, tongue in cheek, or sarcastic remark.

[( G_R )]

I'm pissed: my mouse's scroll wheel is getting jammed. This is my wireless, ergonomic, extra-buttoned mouse.

[Thrillho]

i like to imagine that they speak "villain" in a forced, "IRL italics" tone when they say that.

[Thrillho]

"Your tongue-in-cheek comment will not be had here, villain." they say with a little spit somehow coming out of their mouth as they end villain.

[Pendulum]

Perhaps one of us should go back and... fuck it, I'll do it myself.

That's the worst, most stupid idea ever documented by humankind

This is a clear joke post designed to troll Pendulum. Infraction issued. - Pendulum

[Thrillho]

i assume also that dtr and diestoremoval autocorrects to "hive of scum and villainy" in the mod lounge.

[Thrillho]

imagining caricatured versions of both sites and the posters on them is really what keeps me going every time something inconsequential happens on either site. a lisping, "villain"-spitting xenphire hunched over his keyboard, rereading, triple checking, and proofing his posts for maximum snarkiness is like three cups of coffee in the morning to me.

[Kaitscralt]

Thou shalt not joke.

Will you fucking Neanderthals stop posting for a second and let mine get through

i took the extra time to click on the teach emoticon just for the extra time it gave you to reply.

[Thrillho]

i hope that one member of this site has been referred to unironically as a rapist somewhere on mtgs in relation to forum posting and not to any actual rapes someone has been accused of.

[Thrillho]

that way i can just imagine the accuser in question as neil hamburger in that early episode of tim and eric.
