Ah Farnsworth...
Anyways,
How excited am I? Super. Why? Well, keep your pants up, sailor!
That's what I'm getting at...
So, a couple years or so ago I was pm'd by a forum moderator who informed me that my user name (sukmikak) which is also my pilot name in War Robots, "violated forum rules" and needed to be changed immediately and that I couldn't post or reply until it was changed to conform with the forums code of conduct ( CoC)...because, it was stated that there were children on the forum and that one of them might notice and be offended ( instead of giggling like virtually everyone else who was old enough to get on line) and after a brief attempt to skirt around it, gave in because it turns out I dont care about it that much. But it did bother me in the way it was handled.
I wasn't addressed by the name I gave (The one I've used in game since the Griffen was new), but I was addressed as
"forumite" and then told, not asked to change my name or leave.... Which is why "Forumite" became my forum handle.
Then came the updated "code of conduct" or clarified "code of conduct" or reconstituted "code of conduct"
or " I am now stuck at home and I see every other person with authority telling people what to do and how to do it and I want in on that including clamping down on people cleverly trying to avoid the language filter by substituting other words that mean the same thing even though the language filter does exactly the same thing but so poorly in some cases no one knows ?whiskey tango foxtrot? the poster was trying to say and ISNT clever or funny ... and will ya Look at the size of my CoC!" I digress..
The good news is I HAVE MY USER NAME BACK!!
kinda..
Inspired by the hard working and dedicated moderators of this forum and taking note of their leadership and following their example,....
LADIES and GENTLEMEN!! forumites!! MAY I PRESENT TO YOU!, MY UPGRADED, CLARIFIED AND ALL THE OTHER JUNK I SAID ABOVE THAT WAS A JOKE IF YOU DIDNT GET IT AND CHOOSE TO BE KAREN THATS REALLY ON YOU MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR TUDE AT THE DOOR OR HAVE A BEER OR SOMETHING,
NEW/OLD ALMOST ORIGINAL NAME...
Forumite
Hear me roar!
grr

Worth the wait?
Hm...
WHAT were we talking about? Ah beer! Love one!
Anyways, thanks milty.
That's a great shot of will. No Farnsworth?? An "eh, wha?" One would be awesome.
Seriously, it was meant as a joke as was the mods lil sneakys vis a vis the whole CoC gag, I'm sure. I'm just delighted that there is a recognizable standard that I can refer to when playing around with language.
Anyways, always look forward to your hangar of the month. I'm actually down to a single rog! 2 Hoover's and a jumping Leo... fun city when I got the green. Leo has a jump that is very similar to rog in its characteristics as long as you get it moving first. For the first time I wish gollum had mods..oh well
Cheers

Also I'd like to BACK up my avatar if it's not too much to ask? nothing personal to you, my friend, simply in anticipation of your new name being considered contrary to the CoC, and hence, a request to change it. All peace and love here. |

And seriously. I'm a carpenter amongst other things. "Ban Hammer" ...
Really?
That's a lam-o term.
And It sounds like a threat. Oh wait, the countdown makes it a threat.
Why?
Can't You think of a better way to communicate with me? Or are you just wanting to make me , what? Scared?
But just as "the best way to win an argument is to avoid it" I would add "if you have to make threats to maintain control, you have already lost it".
Well so much for #1. All your left with is #2.
Nothing personal but I spent the weekend watching a bunch of clowns that the army wouldn't take, dressed up like American Soldiers, that is, Cops PRETENDING to be American Soldiers, in Full Combat Gear and under the color of LAW, terrorize, abuse and assault and insult the very same people that OUR Servicemen and Servicewomen risk their lives to protect.so please forgive me if I'm a little sensitive to double standards, however trite and authority of any kind.
As to the op,I actually thought it was kinda funny. Big surprise you didnt.
What part of the coc did I violate? Making a joke at the mods expense? I guess I outta read through them again and see if I can find anything on "irony".
Well I've made up my mind that the next time I see a citizen being abused I'm not going to get out of the way, I'm going to help that person and that's gonna hurt. so it probably won't matter what happens here.
If I get the boot, then all I have to say is gather your loved ones close and hold on tight. And kill reds..
I'

 No need to take offense in this thread where none was intended. Many members throw out various forms of "beat the ban!" or "banning in 3...2...1..." It's always meant to be funny and (news flash) isn't always indicative of reality. |

The Farnsworth shtick was funny. Love me some Futurama.

I think someone is messing with OPs medications.... actually I think he's "self medicating." It's dangerous to do that while posting here. I've learned that myself.

The purpose of the CoC is to try to keep this forum civil and with a certain level of decorum. They're not even that harsh, and I've seen places where there are no rules and the posts there are enough to make me want to puke. I once had to moderate one such forum and in the end I left cause it was just too much. People who can't respect the CoC don't respect the forum or the members here and therefore do not belong here. Not only that, the original post shows just how immature you really are and civil discourse with you is obviously impossible.
