Thread Crapping Poll!

[Nickokapo]

Do you agre with the enforcement of this rule in the general discussion forum?
Speak up your mind here :D also note this poll is only to see what people think and will have no effect in what mods decide, so vote at your own risk.
My vote goes for no ;)

[Leo656]

I voted for "Dude, Where's My Car?" because it was the most random of the choices given. The only way to counteract the ruling of the mods is by supporting anarchy.
:evilgrin:

[Nickokapo]

Yeah..plus we gotta find your car :lol:

[Zenrick]

NO for Zen man.....so what'd you all think of the Daredevil movie?? I thought Spiderman was better!

dont worry it is a joke trying to stray off topic MUAHAHAHAHA! :wink: :P :D

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

How about civil disobedience (ala Ghandi or Martin Luthor King).
We go to the "Thread crapping" thread and say random unrelated things like "Sprouts taste good in sandwiches" or "I like japanese saké better than Chinese saké".
If we all do it together they'll have to respond. They can't ban us all. There'd be no forum! We'd have to all agree to it first.
Who's with me?!

Yes I have authority issues. so what?

[Zenrick]

Who's with me?!

I WOULD be, but I hate power rangers and I am not with a power ranger avatar person. ;)

[Leo656]

Well we're really up a creek then cuz I never had a car to begin with...

You know what I noticed recently, too? I think that maovie started out with a bunch of writers watching "The Big Lebowski". You know, that scene when they come out of the bowling alley and The Dude's car gets stolen?

"Uh, Dude... where IS your car...?"

"Son of a..."

"Where's you car, Dude...?"

See?

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Who's with me?!

I WOULD be, but I hate power rangers and I am not with a power ranger avatar person. ;)

Actually it's Sentai, The japanese show Power Rangers was based on.
And, I'm changing it soon.

[Nickokapo]

Nah, doing that tetsu might get us banned, and i have no interest in doing that anyways, i just wanted to give everyone a piece of my mind with this topic :goofygri:
If you wish to do that go ahead, but dont count me in :D it'll probably make things worse...that, and i dont WANT MY DAMN THREAD LOCKED YOU REBELIAN THAT REBELS =( JOO HIPPIE LOLZ

Uh...I dont think that would be a good idea.... :ohwell:

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

How about a petition to Krang or Darth then?

[Nickokapo]

They cant ban us all or you think they WOULDNT ban us all?
Can, they can, they have that power, plus there'd be people that'd disagree with it.
Seriously, spamming will make things worst imo...you are free to do what you wish, but your on your own here, at least from my part, there has to be a safer way to solve this (safer, as in solving it without risking my ass to be banned from the universe =P ).

[Machias Banshee]

Right. Spamming WOULD cause a lot of hard feelings and such. I think the best thing for you guys to do, if anything, is to PM Krang. He'll listen and respond to you guys, so I'd say try that... :)

[Nickokapo]

Allrighty then, i'll give the ruler of dimension x a piece of my mind :evilgrin:

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Good idea.
Thanks Machias.

[Leo656]

I guess nobody saw "The Big Lebowski". :(

Who voted Yes??? (Gets the spraypaint ready...) :evilgrin:

[Nickokapo]

I dunno who that was, but i say boo to her/him :P
You guys can click here to pm krang:
*link removed by TEH ME because i'm done with this and i dont want anyone spamming krang, i only wanted to give everyone a easier way of pming him*
Let him know what ya think but dont screw it up :D
And yes, i saw the big lebowski :lol: i think i remember that scene vaguely, but the one that cracked me up the most was when the guy grabbed a bat or whatever and started hitting the car of the kid...only to find out it wasnt the kid's car :P

[Machias Banshee]

Good idea.
Thanks Machias.

I do what I can... ;) :D

Who voted Yes??? (Gets the spraypaint ready...) :evilgrin:

*hides* I didnt do it!! I voted for "Dude, where's my car!!!" *whimpers*

[HorseTechie]

Yes.. cause, I'm a mod, dammit! And I hate picking up you guy'z dirty plates and crushed beer cans y'all leave laying around. :D

Yes, I'm a nitnick. I hate slobs and their inch-thick dust n clutter! *grabs the portable vaccum* :evilgrin:

:lol:

HT, you're trying to clog a volcano with a cork. It aint gonna work. The people are already revolting. I mean hell, DR was talking about ME and I'm being one of the most civil.

[Dontebell]

i voted yes.

[Zenrick]

its just a forum....criminey.....its like this will forum will alter the course of history....bologna. I think mods should only be there to ban idiots that spam......other than that I am fine with whatever else is said......even if someone is cussing me out I dont mind 'cause I can learn from it......the mods are trekkie wiccans anyways ;) MUAHAHAHAHA

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

it IS just a fan-forum. It's not the freakin' U.N. I like the Mods. (Darth currently excluded), and I feel they serve a valuable purpose, but Darth has gone too far!

[Nickokapo]

I like most of the mods to a degree, darthraph included, it is not the mods i hate but the decision one of him took..in fact, i do not hate it, that'd be too much, i just strongly disagree with it if it is going to be applied here.
I'd also like to note i do not drink beer ;)

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

It's OK to be outraged Nicko.
You really seem to be supressing your feelings.

[Nickokapo]

Of course i am!Believe me, if i let out EVERYTHING i thought when i was pissed, i would've been banned in no time :lol:
Well...at least i made this thread, didnt i? :)

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

I guess you're right.

[HorseTechie]

HT, you're trying to clog a volcano with a cork. It aint gonna work. The people are already revolting. I mean hell, DR was talking about ME and I'm being one of the most civil.
*shrug* I know. :P

I wasn't being 100% serious, as long as you guys don't crap up the TMNT Discussion threads. In those... you can't go off topic at random will and get away with it!

Nope-sir-ree! :wink:

I don't care what you do in the Gen Dis and the RPG forums, as long as you all don't start having cyber sex and/or rampid flame wars.

[Nickokapo]

Actually i dont think applying the rule to the gtmntd forum is a bad idea, it is here where i think it shouldnt.
And darthraph was never 'strict' actually, none of the mods where, i just think this rule, if its going to be applied everywhere, is strict, its going to far...i mean this part of the forum is supposed to be about offtopic stuff, so what's the difference?

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

I knew you were just kidding HT :)
And, it is quite ironic, but all I said was you're a tad sticter than Kali, and it got blown out of proportion. Darth is the only one I'd flat out accuse of tyranny and crainial-rectumitis.Where as I took great care to mention I had nothing personal against you, and liked you despite your strict approach.

[Nickokapo]

And no, i do not plan on having cybersex anytime soon, *especially* here...i'd rather have the real thing, thank you.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Reread those posts if you don't believe me.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

And no, i do not plan on having cybersex anytime soon, *especially* here...i'd rather have the real thing, thank you.
Who mentioned cybersex?

[Nickokapo]

I don't care what you do in the Gen Dis and the RPG forums, as long as you all don't start having cyber sex and/or rampid flame wars.
^ there you go tatsu...
I believe in tatsu!He'll be the magical saviour of the internetland :teek:

[Leo656]

I don't care what you do in the Gen Dis and the RPG forums, as long as you all don't start having cyber sex and/or rampid flame wars.

Damn. No more cybering with GK while calling him a "Gay-bashing ball of homosex." :(

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

OK, well I'd have to agree with what HT said there.
CyberSex should be a PM thing :lol: (Just kidding)

[Nickokapo]

Damn. No more cybering with GK while calling him a "Gay-bashing ball of homosex." :(
Oh hey, you do that too? ;) http://fraggle.alkali.org/img/lame/sm-roflmao.gif

[Duke]

I think this is the most genius thread ever. I mean seriously what is Dark Raph gonna do? Delete it. No because it's actually on topic. But anyway i voted NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nickokapo]

I hope this does not get deleted, but as far as i know, this thread is not breaking any rules.
And for the last time people, stop bashing DR, hate the rule not the mod :lol:

[Duke]

I don't hate the rules, i just hate people that inforce them like we're 5.

[Duke]

Sorry about the double post but it was originally the same message so i thought i'd edit it to something different.

I actually have nothing against DR this is the only thing he's ever done that i have disagreed about.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

People have the right to dislike each other.
DR dislikes all of us..

[Nickokapo]

Well some of them act like they're 5, that's why rules are for...in the case of the "which are better" threads for example, rules needed to be inforced.
I'm just against of all this if it's gonna be used for the discussion forum, offtopicness is what this forum is all about :P
DR never said he disliked us all now did he?stop making stuff up dude, its the rule we must be against :P dr is a cool person, im sure he didnt mean to do the rule to cause trouble, tho im still against it if it's gonna be used this way.
Besides, there are mods way worst than DR :roll: but overall they're all cool, i think you're overeacting.
Oh and you can delete your own post duke, click on the "delete" button next to the quote one.

[Duke]

Nicko you can only delete it if it's the last post on the thread.

[Nickokapo]

You are right...holy shite, you're screwed :(
Why not edit it and put something different in it?It will still be a double post, but at least it wont have the same text :P
Or you could pm a mod that cares and ask him to delete it for you.

[Duke]

Yeah i was screwed but i took your advice and just edited the post to say something different.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Well some of them act like they're 5, that's why rules are for...in the case of the "which are better" threads for example, rules needed to be inforced.

I think he has expressed his dislike in his actions themselves.

[Nickokapo]

...
Now that you mention it, you are right, he did mention the "group of people" :P most likely me and the other nwo guys.
Well then i am so sorry i pissed you off darthraph, but this just aint right in my opinion, IMO the general discussion forum should have more freedom, i dont care you using it in the tmnt forums tho.

[Leo656]

I'm not sorry, I never did anything wrong to begin with. :P

It seems to me like the Mods don't even know which offenders they're going after. Some of them are talking about going after useless crap like "Which is better" threads, while others are talking about people going OT within a thread, something else entirely.

When the people can't even agree on which rules they're cracking down on, that's bad.

[Nickokapo]

Well...he should've been more direct, naming people instead of saying it's a group, so that we can be certain he's talking about us or not, it's not like i'll go on a flamewar with him for doing so :lol: not that i could, and i wouldnt anyways.

[Leo656]

I'm not taking it personally it just rubs me the wrong way.

Like a few days ago in one of the other forums someone (I forget who) suggested that "certain people with large avatars/sigs be made to shrink them". And now DR mentions "a certain group of people who go off-topic a lot".

We have a name: nWo Tech. Address us by name or don't address us at all. Feelings aint gonna be hurt, we're all big boys here.

[Nickokapo]

That's what i meant, if they dont, i wont be certain they're talking about me or not, i could take a guess and get all deffensive like i usually do, but what if he suddenly says he talks about another group of people?
Yeah, i'll look like the jackass, and all because i was being unsure.
Either way i've seen bigger sigs than the one i'm using, i dunno what the deal is.

[Leo656]

Yeah if I'm not mistaken Krang replied that none of the sigs and avatars anyone is currently using are any problem. So it was much ado about nothing, basically.

[Nickokapo]

Yup, i think that as long as the avatar/sig doesnt stretch the screen it's fine.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

I'm glad you get what I said. I'm not saying we should Tar and feather DR (tempting as it may be). But, I was just saying for the record that I simply personally dislike the guy. I won't personally attack or flame him. If when this whole thing's over I see his post in a forum, I'll simply ignore it.
The only way my opinion about him will change is if either....
1. The whole thing turns out to be a misunderstanding. (I know what that's like)
2. He resigns as a moderater.
or...
3. He uses his mod abilities to ban himself (since it would be the forum equivalent of seppuku)

But, despite this opinion about him, I won't say anything outwardly mean to him unless provoked. Because We wont accomplish anything unless we're civilized. So, I agree we should focus our complaints on the decree and not on him.

[Nickokapo]

:lol: the forum equivalent to comitting seppuku!
Well this might be a missunderstanding allright, if he plans to use this only on the general tmnt forum and such tmnt related forums, but since he posted it here im beginning to think it'll apply to here aswell (even though it makes sense, as this is forum related and not tmnt related, but still..)

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Well then he would have put it in the announcements forum.

[Nickokapo]

...
You're right i never thought about that =P come to think of it that's where all the news go.
The only problem is i think only shredder and krang can post new threads there :P

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

http://www.thetechnodrome.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=662
Who started that one?

[Machias Banshee]

Azure Did, but it got moved from the Gen. Disc., i think....

[Nickokapo]

Oh... :embarass: well then i guess DR could've...sigh, then i guess this was directed at the general discussion forum.
*edit* ah so it got moved, then that means mods cannot actually make new threads.
bleh :dead:

[That Matt Guy]

But seriously, where is my car?

[Nickokapo]

Your car has been kidnapped by ninjas.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue your car? :teek:

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

I'm starting to see how this could be a misunderstaning.
But, if it isn't. I'll be quite miffed!

[Nickokapo]

Yeah, but if it is i'll be as embarassed as an autobot in a...uhhhh...parking lot..
What? :|

[azure turtle]

Ayah... Like Nicko said, I really think you should be aiming your anger at the rule, and not at DarthRaph. We mods have to make judgement calls, and sometimes, not everyone agrees with 'em. That's totally fine, but bashing him is not going to solve the problem. He's just trying to do his job.

Personally, I think the OT rule shouldn't be applied so strictly to GD. It's always been a place for people to talk about things that don't fit in the other forums.

It seems to me like the Mods don't even know which offenders they're going after. Some of them are talking about going after useless crap like "Which is better" threads, while others are talking about people going OT within a thread, something else entirely.
Yeah... We're not all on the forums at the same time, so we can't discuss things and come up with quick decisions. That's why we act individually most of the time, unless major issues pop up (like this one). Currently, I think we're all just waiting for Krang's say on the matter.

[Leo656]

((GLOMP!!!))

Hiya Azure! :evilgrin:

[Duke]

Currently, I think we're all just waiting for Krang's say on the matter.Yeah, the big brain will have to make the ultimate ruling on this one.

[azure turtle]

Ack!! Hi Leo! I see you're as lively as ever. :razz: Wish I could stay 'n chat, but I gotta attend a meeting in ten minutes. :( See ya later (and I'll have my revenge in the RPG thread! Once I can think of something evil, that is).

[Leo656]

Should I prepare my patented "Cuddle Defense", or the feared "Madonna Attack"?

I scare Azure. :evilgrin:

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Looks like it was a misunderstanding after all.
My contempt has faded.
I still would have liked to see the look on DR's face when he logged in and saw the "lynch mob" form.

[DarthRaphael]

HA HA, you all had fun in here didn't ya? :D

OK, if you haven't read the thread recently, read it again.

And, I'm sorry to say, YOU'RE ALL OFF-TOPIC AND IM DELETING ALL YOUR POSTS AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

Oh, BTW, I voted 'Dude, where's my car?'

:lol: *snicker* Same here... *hugs Raph, happy that it was all just a misunderstanding*

[Donatello]

beleive me darth i don't wanna start an arguement, butthis i dea is rediculous.

first off i think the phras "thread crapping" is a bit harsh, if anything it should be called "thread drifting" or something like that.

in real life people drift in and out of topics during conversations and neither of the parties say "we shouldn't be talking about eggs! this is a conversation about the war!! AAAHHH!!"

it's stupid to make everyone stay on-topic.

and i'm sure i was one of the unmentionables in the group of people you were talking about cuz i know i've gone off topic a buncha times w/karpo about the original tmnt and once w/grunger kittie about frasier, because that's how conversation work.

i'd understand if for some reason people posted "on topic" and were dismissed for it, buit i've never seen someone type "hey, don't post about the old show in this old shiow thread! grr!"

so darth, i hope you read this, understand we are people and well, the internet allows us free speech,and yes this is a site w/ restsictions,but thisd idea of punishment for going off topic is absurd

and not to go "muckraking" here, but sorry darth, ya forced me to

well guys it's been fun, after this post they'll probably get rid of me, but i just feel strongly against this, sorry

[Machias Banshee]

uh, okay...I think you and Darth need to have a lil talk....he wasnt exactly going off-topic, he was just relating other things to it, but he stayed on topic...

[Nickokapo]

Damn it =P ya should calm down don, now that everything's got cleared up posting something like that will only be for the worst :roll:
Yes, i too would've hated if mods would start being overly strict about off-topic stuff, specially in the general discussion forums, but that's not quite what he meant, so you guys have no reason to be pissed at him now.

[Donatello]

So did i disagreed with this, but i think he cleared things up quite fine here:

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Don, you great Dill, You're like hours too late to be enraged at DR for anything but his abruptness.
He's explained that he didn't mean what we thought.

[Donatello]

damn, that does clear things up, i feel a little dumb, i spent all that time making that damn speech, and doing that research,oh well

and tetsu what does

"you great dill" mean?

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

It's austrilian for "You Dillweed" :lol:

[Donatello]

okay, what does dillweed mean?

or is this too off topic? (kidding!)

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

It's a more polite form of d**kweed. It's basically "idiot".

[Donatello]

well i'm hardly an idiot,i just didn't read the entire thread

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

You can't take those words seriously. :lol:
You were just acting like a great dill. :lol:

[Donatello]

don't worry tetsudillonychus, i take very little seriously

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Anyway, I'm sorry. but c'mon, if you and a bunch of people were in a room arguing with somebody, and hours after you resolved you're differences somone bursts in yelling at the person you finnished arguing with hours ago, would you fight off the urge to call him a "Dumbass", or an "idiot", or even a "Great Dill".
But, anyway I shouldn't have said it. I'm sorry. OK?

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

tetsudillonychus? :lol:
Now you gettin' it! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Donatello]

i was wondering if you'd caught that, haha :lol:

[Donatello]

i see your point, so i apologize, sorry darth, and sorry to all of you who read my overly long post
