Forum staff - practice what you preach

Quote:

Pineapples are no longer to be discussed at this forum and any way shape or form. That means no Hawaiian pizza, no ambrosia salad, no Jamba smoothies, no sherbet (or sorbet if you really want to push your luck), and, above all, no huli huli chicken. Violations of this new rule will be handled as follows:

First offense: Breaking of both legs

Second offense: Ban

Thank you for your compliance and enjoy posting at Eyes on Final Fantasy.

I'm sure you have all seen this announcement, and I'm sure you were all quite confused, unless it's some kind of running joke. My point is, whether it's joke or not, it's spam. If someone was banned from the forum for talking about pineapples I'm sure the majority of users would find it unfair, and I find it hard to believe that you would actually do it, thus rendering your post spam.. and it's not just any post, it's an announcement!

Don't get me wrong, I find random humour like this amusing.. but maybe general chat is a better place for it than the announcements?

It's the Cid's Knights & Admins Announcements. They can put what they want they. It's only a bit of humour. & you can't say that some people never spam, everyone lets lose sometimes. It's nothing personal about someone so why does it matter?

I'm sure we all saw the announcement. I'm also sure we were then quite unconfused. I'm pretty sure noone was banned over this.

this is in direct violation of EoFF code #405-66

ALL EoFF STAFF, ADMINS, AND CK'S ARE ALWAYS JUST AND RIGHT

Section 11
clause 92: We withhold the right to dis-allow democracy to run rampant in the public of EoFF! Democracy breeds free thought and speech and posting patterns outside the norm, therfore, we shall disembody ourselves as members and put ourselves above the rest as dictators and judges of all our puny members. We reserve the right to break any rules and ban anyone for nothing, including incessant pineapple conversations.

After reading this, I think we can all rest assured that this is all a big misunderstanding and that the staff are, indeed, disallowing the topic of pineapples to be discussed.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a new fruit to talk about.

I think it's more an issue of keeping the fun from getting out of hand than anything. Five staff members have some fun, 100 members follow suit. Can open, worms everywhere.

Someone's gotta keep a balance between boringcraptown and a Psy epidemic.

eestlinc you have been lost of this conversation and should return to your fancy little Staff Forum before the mob comes and tells you all about the pineapples, which you should have known about already if you were really a mod of EoFF calibur.

It's a hopeless...situation
And I'm starting to believe
That this hopeless...situation
Is what I'm trying to achieve

But I try
To run on
Towards
All or none...all or none

Here's the selfless confession
Leading me back to war
Can we help that...our destinations
Are the ones we've been before

I still try
To run on
Towards all
Or none...all or none

To myself I...surrender
To the one I'll never please

I still try...to run on
But I still try...to run on
But it's
All or none....all or none.
