It is sad that most of his peoples party followers will not read this. It is even sadder that the ones that do will just say something like "I can see why in most cases he would be wrong, but I am still backing him."
You're right. Maybe I should post my thoughts in his campaign section, then.
Wait now, I didn't actually spam the thread and that infraction could easily be overturned. I was talking about the smoking ban with Slyfox who was increasingly rude and making it difficult to have a conversation. I came back stating my displeasure with his conduct and that I was going to end my involvement in the conversation there as a result. For that I was infracted for "not staying on topic" technically, and I was given the infraction as "spam" because that's the only thing I could have been given an infraction for which was a loose technicality anyways. Since when did it become spam to simply say IN REGARDS TO THE TOPIC and the person your were talking to, that you going to bow out of the conversation? That's actually not anywhere in the rule book, and what I did doesn't actually fall under spam. See, I do know the rules.
Being off-topic is the original definition of spamming. Whether you replied to another poster's off-topic rant, you're venting, or getting something off your chest is irrelevant. If you don't post on-topic then you are spamming. PERIOD.
My sig rule violation was rather frivolous as well. I used a slang term that was actually a lyric from a song, and someone decided to infract me like I used it as a blatant racial slur. BIG DIFFERENCE. I was technically within the rules on both occasions and people used technicalities to give me infractions, probably to look like they were doing their job.
So, what you're saying is that you posted a racial slur in your signature. You can sugar-coat it all you like but sorry, that's against the rules. But I guess you're going to express your disagreement and displeasure with our rules and push your interpretation as if it means something. Knowing all of this, you actually think you have a shot at being a mod?
Thank you for pointing that out first and foremost Crock. Secondly, unless no one has read anything I have written, I have based my campaign around a lot more than lack of popularity. I've talked repeatedly about being a more accessible mod that is also more friendly to the users,
Yet you continue to argue with other mods about the rules that you've clearly broken...
being strict on flaming and being rude to other members,
Yeah, because posting racial slurs in your signature is definitely putting you on the right track here...
helping take the load off of the other mods,
Would you do this while you simultaneously break our rules, thus causing more work for us?
encouraging people to speak out more and post more freely, helping drive conversation, start threads, and help keep the section clean. Ya know, the stuff that mods are supposed to do and then some....
Seriously, though... if you were ever elected as a mod, I think this forum would immediately explode, pigs would fly, a woman would be elected president, people would want to become Milenko's best friend, IDR would become a WWE mark, an the internet would die.
But thanks for playing. Now, go back to shitty posting. This election stuff just isn't for you.
