Rick Roll'd // Mods making up rules?

[Slowpoke]

I agree with the moderator.

It's immature, pathetic and not funny on any level.

Do you tend to read threads before you reply, no?

[Slowpoke]

Actually, I did read it. I just thought I'd reply with that BECAUSE YOU LIKE TO ANNOY PEOPLE AND YOU EXCEL AT IT SO I THOUGHT I'D TAKE A SHOT IT AND IT CLEARLY WORKED!

So in other words it was a pointless post yee

No. I wanted to express my thoughts and feelings towards rick rolling. Moderators should be allowed to remove the link because it's "immature, pathetic and not funny on any level".

So are a lot of videos like "Hitler gets banned from ____". I could watch Rick Astley for a lot longer than them.

To be fair, for one thing, your post could have been in breach of either of these two rules:

A10. Do not be a negative factor on the forum – This includes posting to cause arguments, unnecessary attacks on forum staff or general bad manners and attitude towards other forum members. Moderators, as always, will have the final say on whether a member is constantly being negative on the forums.

A16. Do not make threads titles which have no relevance to the actual post - Do not make thread with titles like "see this" or "something interesting" or something similar to these. Put a title which is relevant to the thread and not something completely different.

Regardless, I think you're being a little immature about the whole situation, and I don't mean that in a derogatory way, because I've seen you around, and I think you're a nice guy, but you're overreacting.

The Moderators are chosen, or, rather, pass their trials based on merit - on their aptitude for dealing with situations where the answer isn't always clear-cut. Sure, there's no rule specifically stating that you can't post Rick-Roll links, but what are you adding to the forum by posting it? It's not funny, it's just annoying.

If I were you, I would have brought this issue up with one of the Super Moderators, if you feel it's unjustified, because it's dealing with a specific Moderator's edit, not a general problem with the rules. Doing it this way is just exacerbates the situation, and resolves very little - unless you consider finger-pointing a resolution.

Posting a Rick Roll video is so last year anyway. :rolleyes:

[Agnostic Bear]

i do believe that you should all stop justifying mods making up rules and just accept that it was wrong to edit the post

[kk.]

Yeh but tbh, no thread titles in spam are meaningful and secondly, it's in spam. It's not even offensive so I don't know where you got that from. Not meaning to sound too angry

Ah, I have to be honest, I didn't realise this thread/post was in Spam. Not much of what I said applies, then. Sorry, Scott!
