This latest drama has got me wondering: if I post lots and lots and lots of pictures of pokemon here, will they eventually have to remove discussion of the topic from Sally?

[Alex]

We have a fucking Twitter? When was somebody going to tell me?

Also what is MTGS doing now?

No, they eventually will have to remove yourself from MTGS, it works faster.

[Col. Khaddafi]

Also what is MTGS doing now?

Usual nigger stuff

we need a MTGS/Guest/Batman beacon image macro for these special occasions.

Any volunteers?

[Alex]

Oh, the ExpiredRascal thread?

Yeah, seems about as legit as many of my recent infractions. You know it's bad when even the mod giving you the infraction says "Yeah, this isn't really infraction worthy, you're right."

Also, MTGS needs a new tagline.

"MTG Salvation: No jokes may pass."

[Col. Khaddafi]

These new waves of infractions are totally making it to the 2013 Razzies, Darcy Dossier is already on it.

[Stardust]

"MTG Salvation: No jokes may pass."

Your dark humour will not avail you. Go back to diestoremoval, villain.

[Alex]

Who am I kidding, no mod on MTGS is cool enough to be Gandalf.

Checkbox, the post in question was obviously facetious and intended to detract from the conversation and mock the OP and others participating in the discussion. Madding had the ability to discuss his objections in a straight-forward and constructive manner and instead opted to go for the inflammatory route. Community Issues as a forum has been ridiculously prone to trolling and was at one point rendered nearly useless through the lack of attempts at productive discussion. Posts such as the one you linked harm everyone who wishes to bring up a real topic by detracting from the expected value of the responses to their question or thread.

Paraphrasing (aka mind-reading) yields "You guys devalue our site by posting on it."

Sooooo, we can expect him to infract himself for trolling, amirite...?

[Stardust]

Checkbox, don't be such an ass. Just tell Sene he's wrong. That'll be funnier.

[Checkbox]

Checkbox, don't be such an ass. Just tell Sene he's wrong. That'll be funnier.

But I would get infracted and then suspended and then they'd win...

[Stardust]

You'd get infracted for telling him you believe Kaits was being serious? I highly doubt that.

You are trying to illicit a hostile response out of me, quite literally. You should be infracted for trolling.

Careful man, he'll infract you for implying he's a troll (which is against forum rules, unless, y'know, you're staff.)

[Checkbox]

Not implying.

[iamabadman]

plat it on ps3 in sept

[Kaitscralt]

I forgot about that

[Sir Sapphire the 3rd]

trolling, its what checkbox does


according to mtgsillly

Trolling is something MTGS sucks at defining with a solid clue.

[Kaitscralt]

There is a difference between holding the view and stating it ironically.

Let's put it this way. If you read Antony's speech in A3S2 of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, do you get the feeling that Brutus was an honourable man?

For reference:
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest--
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men--
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers
fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.


To say that we're punishing the idea is disingenuous. The OP was fine to have the idea, as were those that supported him. And those that disagreed were fine as well. But the post in question was not a simple affirmation or rejection of the idea. It was
mocking it and baiting a response with a clearly insincere position.

[Kaitscralt]

Did I just get compared to Shakespeare?

[Kaitscralt]

[Kaitscralt]

I'm Shakespeare, iridium said so and iridium is never wrong

[Col. Khaddafi]

No, they're actually claiming you're Brutus you oaf.

[Col. Khaddafi]

The lapdog is actually iridium own tryhard.

[Kaitscralt]

Et me, Brutus?

[Col. Khaddafi]

Someone should do something useful and ask iridium the next winning lottery numbers or something. Guys are true psychics.

[iamabadman]

lady gaga nude is hot. thanks v magazine

[imopen2]

I didn't figure checkbox for a wordsmith

He has proved multiple times that he is not

[Sir Sapphire the 3rd]

well I think we have come to a point where they are on auto infract all posts for trolling.

[Sir Sapphire the 3rd]

I wish they could read this

[Sir Sapphire the 3rd]

Oh well Teia will relay on how this is all part of a raid and how the internet devils are pooling into one point

[Yannaria]
