I have only been moderated once, although every time I see a dogmatic post by one of VGC's Stevie Wonders', I yearn to pound some sense into them. Or when Stevie asks you what a tree looks like, and you tell him, but he says you're wrong. I wouldn't punch Stevie Wonder, so instead I give him the middle finger because I know he can't see it. I've seen other users give Stevie the middle finger too: posts full of hidden insults out of the fear of being reported. Sometimes there are no insults involved; just questionable observations. In that case I'd call a spade a club to avoid grief.

Use the report button and call in mods if you're being attacked.

As Cortana would say, "I am your shield...I am your sword."

That's awesome! It's like summoning Bahumut from FF7.. One click and the villain goes toasty! lol

As Scorpion would say, "GET OVER HERE!" lol

The few times I've been moderated, I've agreed that I deserved it. It's embarrassing but I learned from my actions and have tried avoiding moderation to the best of my ability. The one time I was banned I'll never agree with and will always feel a bit insulted by

There's a fun challenge in skating that line. Like sometimes I like to explain things as if I'm talking to a child when someone annoys me. Since I'm not actually insulting anyone, only insulting their intelligence with cutting drawn out sarcasm, I haven't gotten moderated. When someone here pisses me off, I try to think of the most creative way to not get banned, while still upsetting them, while still staying on topic.

It's crazy how much of a "jerk" reputation I have, but I've only gotten a few warnings. (and a ban once in the way early days) My record's pretty squeaky.

Can we ban signatures as large as yours? I doubt mods view it personally if they need to ban or mod someone. Break the rules and it's removed, no harm unless you're a troll that keeps doing things to get banned.

It's like having your voiced silenced. Like you are in a world full of people discussing things, having exchanges, laughing joking, but none of them can hear or see you. You are there but not really.

People say funny things, but you can't laugh.
People say stupid things, but you can not correct them.
People attack your friends, but you can not help them.
People slowly club baby seals, and you can do not to ease their suffering.  Their blood slowly freazes as it leaves their body as their light of life fades.

A silent tear is shed, that falls, but never reaches the ground.

Unless, I kind of know I crossed the line, then I just giggle at myself for being so silly.

Locking as per request.
