Can moderating just stay as it is

[Kardan]

We can apply the change right now if everyones happy with it.

Isn't this where a poll should be created in feedback and an announcement is made so everyone reads the thread and the poll is totally fair?

Yeah, go for it.

You can see my opinions in this thread, but for your benefit I have bolded the specifc words that caught my attention.

Quite crucially, the parts that aren't bolded indicate the sarcasm intended in the post.

And sarcasm is probably not the correct word, but you all know what I'm saying...

so you overlooked the clear jest and joking around or any context for that matter and thought "OMG I TELL PEOPLE NOT TO AVOID THE FILTER... HE TOLD PEOPLE NOT TO AVOID THE FILTER... HE IS IMPERSONATING ME"

We're not doing a poll EVER AGAIN. But yeah I'll update it now.

OH MY GOD AKEAM THIS HAS BEEN SOLVED ALREADY

Wait is the update adding in a bit saying that telling people they're breaking the rules IS a rule break? I thought Matt said pretty much the complete opposite

What you need to understand is stating someone and telling someone what they can/ can't do are two different things and to make it even worse, it was a joke and in a sub-forum where pointless crap goes.

I just read the original thread, was the image filtered because of the word dick, or is there an actual offensive word in the image that I'm not seeing?

lol

but in all seriousness, i dont think the rules need changing, could you not just create some examples and make a stickied thread in the mod forum to show mods when a rule is/isn't being broken and how to judge the situation?

this quote below makes me think he knew you were joking but he still felt the need to warn you anyway

ha. Show me where it says that the rules are not to be enforced when used in a joking context or in spam? Because at the moment I don't see it anywhere.
