Absolute power...is smurfing wonderful.
You can't mention genatalia? Geez, now I'm afraid I might get banned, and I'm probably one of the most tame posters. Can anyone say, draconian?

Yeah, just you and the staff. It's like a snuggle party.The place where only you can see your threads, right?
Darn the mods for making you follow the rules, rather than let you spam a thread with a private conversation. Damn them all!!
This thread has made my brain melt. It hasn't been on topic for about 4 pages.
Blame the admins for that one.
OK. DAMN YOU ADMINS!
It is grimly ironic that if Quin N Tonic or anyone attempts to Spam, his Posts will be deleted or he'll get a 'kind request', mafia-style, from Psychotic to calm down, but it is okay for Mod's to freely Spam in any thread they feel like with not-so private conversations.
Grimly ironic indeed
It certainly is Dellas. You know what we should do? We should revolt.
This leads me happily onto: I don't feel safe at all in a place that allows the people in power to get away with pretty much everything that your average Joe would get a slapping for.
Do you know what happens to people who revolt?
They get Banned.
Like Primus Inter Pares, AKA PiP, May Mother Nature Bless His Soul.
Don't try and rebel Quinny
But if you DID rebel, you'll become the greatest freedom fighter since Che Guevera. Your face will be on posters and t-shirts in University campuses the world over.
Actually...
GO FOR IT!
They have let my spam in this thread go, as my last few posts have nothing to do with the topic and place the blames on the admins for, not only stopping the spam, but for contributing to it themselves.
REally no one speaks on topic in this thread at this point. Why? No one knows. Will it ever stop? Only the staff knows.
Well, unless their passing around blunts again, in which case it will be about ten minutes before they realize whats going on in this thread, another 10 minutes to decide it needs closed or controled, and 3 hours before Yams gets the energy to tell the rest of the staff to do something about it, 30 minutes before the staff reads his Pm, and 1.5 hours to respond accordingly.
Please dont' hurt me Leeza

Do you have some sort of special connection with the staff, apart from the Levian thingy in your sig?
And more importantly, do you feel safe in this Forum?
Devil Man, if you could get banned for being revolting, you'd have been banned already.
Whoever mentioned the mafia - was it Chemical? - hit the nail on the head. If you cause too much trouble then the staff will edit your posts to include porn and then leave it there for a few minutes so people see "you" posting porn! Then they ban you!
And because I'm on staff and can ban most of you suckers, I feel perfectly safe. 8-)
There will always be people who feel safe because they stick to the rules and don't push too many buttons.
Likewise there will always be trolls, the kind of people who like to push the boundaries and try to stir up trouble in a community. These are the kind of people who spread word that the staff is inconsistent, try to get people to revolt, bring up bannings constantly, post borderline topics or things that commonly cause heated debate, encourage people to view other members (including staff) negatively and idolise banned members by doing things such as, oh, I don't know, putting pictures of them in their sigs. Notable that most members - in fact, the massive majority of members - never do this. This is why trolls stand out like a light bulb. Always in the middle of the controversy, or nearby. Trolling is, of course, a matter of opinion and also a bannable offence, meaning that if the staff view you as a troll they can ban you for being one. So we could technically ban someone who we view as a troll whenever we feel like it. I legitimately hope you do feel unsafe, Devil Man. Trolls should not feel safe in Eyes on Final Fantasy. However, you are amusing!
Also, staying on topic would be nice, you're right.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
My Mom, Devil Mom, will be so sad to hear that
She don't like it when people call her son revolting.
THAT'S HER JOB
And Loony BoB, do you feel safe on this Forum? Do you ever wonder if your position is 100% secure?
Or do you go to bed at night with a loaded gun, just in case?
Yeah, I feel safe. I sometimes don't like the way certain members of the Staff act, but mostly they get things right. I think that when you've got a forum of this size and a proportionally large staff, that's probably the best you can ask for.
If you don't feel safe, don't play so close to the busy road. Or something. Stranger danger.
