Its just not fair

[mountainmage]

Glad to see Rule 4 is alive and well.

[LordRetard]

Thanksgiving already happened guys!!

[mountainmage]

It's things like that that make me remember you're only a temporary mod, if you catch my drift.

[LordRetard]

You mean you're kicking me because I'm Canadian? Aren't I goddamn ensconced yet you were gone for months!

[mountainmage]

I was gone for like a month and a half.

If you want to stay a mod, I don't mind. As long as Ed and I remain Zach's go-to guys for forum battles and things like that.

[LordRetard]

My power is mostly symbolic.

[Cirtur]

Still turns me on.

[mountainmage]

As much as real power? Because baby, I gots it.

[AHMETxRock]

Yes, my puppet, keep thinking that way. The revolution is forthcoming.

[Cirtur]

I would be a modwhore if I wasn't already married.*

Yes, my puppet, keep thinking that way. The revolution is forthcoming.

Ha ha, no.


*To an ex-mod.

[mountainmage]

Yes, my puppet, keep thinking that way. The revolution is forthcoming.

I don't think a one-man revolution can do anything when it only takes 3 or so clicks to ban someone.

Also, Ed is still a global mod, he just changed his default user group to "regular user" which is why he isn't blue anymore.

[Edminster]

It takes four clicks exactly to ban someone permanently. One to their username, one to the Banning link, one to Submit, and one to Confirm. Also way to blow my cover, mage.

[mountainmage]

Ah, four clicks. Good to know.

I don't think deceiving your forum-wife is very nice, so I had to tell him the truth.

[HARDKORE]

Well my friends. Its nice to see that someone still thinks enough of me to actually post a reply to one of my threads that is about the topic.

[Edminster]

I feel a few points need to be addressed right now.

The first point is: as soon as you post a topic it ceases to be 'yours'; once posted, a thread belongs to the Forum as a whole.

Second (and much more important): Topics derail. It is a fact of life, and to believe otherwise is to ignore the fact that it is in the rules. And since you have said before that you won't read the rules unless I point them out to you, I'm going to post them again here in their entirety. Read them all, and make sure you understand them.

1. Keep it PG-13, Fuckers.
2. The following Smiley is only meant to be used under the proper circumstance: :][>:=~+:
3. Don't compare SMBC to The Far Side, it only enrages Dani.
4. Infanticide is essential.
5. Britonians have the best accent/dress sense/humour/everything.
6. Canadians come from Canadia.
7. GreenCrayon is our sage. If you piss him off, we won't like you.
8. Don't swear too much. (See rule #1)
9. No stating that Samus could beat Optimus Prime in a fight, or vice versa.
10. Don't overuse the Yamid Seal of Approval.
10-2. Don't overuse the word "awesome."
11. Don't be a jackass. You wouldn't want to ruin a good thing, would you?
12. Don't take anything personally. We all read this comic and thus have a bent sense of humour.
12-2. Don't take anything seriously either, jerk.
13. Tucker's mom is available all the time for any lad to have his way with. Also, she's fat.
14. It is assured that your thread will be derailed. No exceptions.
15. Proper spelling and grammar is appreciated.
16. The only things better than hookers are space hookers. But watch out for Space-AIDS.
17. Flancer is a terrible, deadly, disease and should not be made fun of. Unless a person has it, of course.
18. If, while reading a post, you realize that the person's words can be twisted for yours and others' amusement, do so, and underneath proclaim the quote as being "Fix'd."
19. If you would like to point out something that seems obvious to you but not to another poster, do so and then afterwards proclaim that you are "Just sayin'."
19-2. Similar to the above rule, except afterwards proclaim " 'Nuff Said."
20. The Outlands are made for spam and trolling. If you must do so, do it there.
21. The Mods are infallible. Except when they're wrong.*
21-2. Zach is also infallible. When he makes mistakes, they're done on purpose to make you feel better about yourself.
22. Footnote usage is both accepted and readily encouraged. They must use smaller-sized (the smallest allowed being size 50) fonts and be done with asterisks.
23. Rulecount ++
24. Double Posting (posting twice or more in a row in the same thread) is frowned upon, unless it takes place a significant amount of time after your last post (an hour at least).
25. Don't overuse colored text. You should almost never have to use anything other than black.
26. No annoying (i.e. animated or large) signature Images.
26-2. No animated avatar images.
27. Do not bypass a mod; i.e. If you have a question, ask both of them.
28. Megapoints are the official currency of Space and the SMBC forum. Knowledge of a person's reference, answering a trivia question correctly, or other assorted acts of awesome shall be rewarded with megapoints, the quantity of which shall be determined by the person awarding them. Negative points may be awarded to jerks. Also, you cannot award yourself points.

*Never.

The final point is actually a reiteration of one of the Rules: Don't take anything personally. Yes, we joke. Yes, we make fun of each other and call people names. Do we mean it? Usually no. Does it matter even if we do mean it? No. If you are getting sand in your vagina because of what goes on in this Forum, maybe you need to rethink that G-string bikini you are wearing to protect your sensitive ego from the harsh grit of our words. That's not the most elegant metaphor I've ever spun, but it hopefully does the job.

Don't think for a minute that I dislike you, Hardkore; I've actually grown rather fond of you. However, this whining about how your threads always derail or this general attitude that you only have to listen to me must end now. I'm not the only Mod. If LR or Mage tells you to do something, you do it. I think you're capable of becoming a good Member here, Hardkore. I saw the same potential in Cirtur, and I saw it in LR. Both of them were trolls when they arrived here, and neither really cared about anything that happens on this Forum. Now look at them. LR has become a Global Mod, and Cirtur has barely goatse'd anyone this month! If either of them disappeared, they would be sorely missed.

I believe in you, Hardkore. I think you can reach the same level, and be better than you have been. It's not easy to change, and you have to want to do it, but it's possible. You can do it, though. I know you can. Don't prove me wrong.
