Wow. A single, solitary post from Spammy.

I personally think it's great to call Kamahl out on his errors. But doing it in a way that is lynching and name-calling brings a pretty bad name to our clan. It's difficult to have a self-policing policy when part of that self-policing is reliant upon telling people off in a level-headed way. It's easier to bring someone down with "Your claims for purge the profane are ridiculous, as everyone has already pointed out" as opposed to "Haha what a moron". Most of the FoS posts in the Dega midrange thread fall in the former category, but quite a few posts also fall in the latter category.

I think we can portray a better image of ourselves as people with a solid grasp of the game and not being afraid to stand up against people because we occupy the moral
high ground, rather than as a group who lynches people. It helps both sites immensely.

The fire rises.

Anybody else want to play a quick game of "Name That Logical Fallacy"?

Sigh.
Or does it even matter anymore? The whole thing seems so pointless, so incontrovertible. Information that should have come, that used to come, as a shining light at the end of the tunnel now just comes as the klaxon blair of an oncoming train. Even when there is a spark, the winds blow it away so fast you hardly have a chance to watch it touch the tinder before it has simply burned itself out. That is the brightness of this brave new world, you know... a thousand blinking spirits all firefly witchgreen followed by the incessant celebration when one of us finally winks out; instead of standing testaments to the will of man and woman tall enough and bright enough to light and fight the encroaching, untouchable dark. Is that the win you wanted? That seems.... questionable. Or is all of this just a proof of the fortitude we both know you have problems with, the humanistic equivalent of withstanding the rapids and the
force of the oncoming current to do nothing more than spawn, and then swim back to mother ocean?

Ah well. I had my hand in building the levy, and so I know that our use of the cheapest options and shittiest materials means that one day that levy gonna break, and the flood come.
And boy, do I know floods.

DFERP

You seem like the kind of guy that wears a cravat.

I go hatless, my most excellent friend.

Is a cravat not a fancy necktie?

He wears one of those rangers hats

I found this on Pendulum's FB

Is a cravat not a fancy necktie?

lol, I'm a moron.

Oh sorry I mean my ability at exploring the options available to me in the arena of men's fashion is not very good.

Oh, but a fellow such as you should have dress as eloquent as your prose.

Then I would be naked, and nobody wants that.

except you.

Wow. A single, solitary post from Spammy.

they happen during prolonged gaming binges

but then I stop and think "wouldn't this moment be better if I was in the Angerzone?" and inevitably return

I see Kait is back to its old usual self, its impressive what a little bit of electrical power can do for a man.

In other news, I have been handled something very cool, I think I'm going to make a new thread for posting this.

Its nothing new mind you, but its a nifty piece of history :memories:

lol, we have a guest as I speak

Our newest member is Koopa btw, he's probably here to berate those FoS trolls for being such awful posters

aren't we all?

(here to berate FoS, that is)

To be fair, Koopa isn't that uncommon a username. Blue shell ftw.

For those guests checking in for the first time any time I say "to be fair" I actually mean "drenched in so much sarcasm it's pouring out of my eyeballs, down my arms, through my fingers and into my keyboard to spread like a viscous malady through the whole of the internet" but it's hard to type all of that with fingers slippery with sarcasm juice.

you'd think a guy named Butts would be used to reading snarky comments

We've revised our community moderation guidelines and brought on several new moderators. As Editor-in-Chief, I've also made it clear to the entire content team that moderating comments and positively confronting abuse is a critical part of our jobs. All of us -- staff, moderators, and community included -- have to lead by example. No longer can we simply throw our hands up and suggest that cleaning up IGN comments is someone else's responsibility, or worse, pointless to even try.

We've written new guidelines for the IGN comment culture and moderation, which are going into effect immediately. They outline what we don't allow. Take them seriously and hold us all, readers and staff alike, accountable for their enforcement. Positively confront and report abuse where you see it. I promise I'll be doing the same.

Will that mean we won't tolerate disagreement or fiery debates? Not at all.

nThey still tolerate disagreements? But calling someone a liar is trolling!

The picture of the dad hugging the traumatized kid is too good

"It's ok, son, you'll never have to read a mean post again"

Well I mean at least he has told the members of the site about the new rules.

Could have been worse he could have just infracted everyone for rules that have yet to be written and then wonder as to why many people are confused/mad.

reminds of somthing that happend on another site.

"It's ok, son, you'll never have to read a mean post again"

God help them when they grow up and go out into the real world.

FYI, homeowners insurance is the literal awesomeness

I'm getting my entire house cleaned and all my laundry done as well as new carpeting amongst other things

yeah, that time when having a decent insurance pays off.

Well done.

the real question is; was it worth having your house on fire?
