Only on Dakka could it happen.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Why has he not been banned? he's specifically trolling a thread about the value of off topic vs the amount of trolling in it. He alone pulls down half the threads that get locked.

@fraz:

So we're good with this, then?

You sure it shouldn't be deleted?

Or is this an example of the extra leeway in the subforums?

43 reports and a snail mail complain mail

I didn't read all the replies... but why not just keep off topic for posts like "omg i hate twilight", and then make an off topic subforum for "omg politics & religion" and let people yell at each other in there..?

That would be a site all on itzelf. With high firewalls and eguards. And the CIA keeping a constant lookout

Well i do not know if dakka dakka charges for advertisments. But usually the amount of traffic on a site corrosponds to the price the site can charge for ad space. More traffic higher price for ads. And even if someone does only looks at the Off-Topic Forum, they still generate traffic.

Again, i was responding to fateweavers post which implied he came to dakkadakka simply for the OT forum then complained it's other forums weren't very good, inferior to warseers. Which is ironic, since what makes warseers forum's good is people actually contributing to them. I'm not saying everyone on here MUST contribute. I'm just saying it's failed to not do so then say the wargaming part of this forum is no good.

Of course what with some people falling on the negative side of that argument it was inevitable I was going to get called troll/flamer etc.

Don't worry, you didn't miss much.

Those are good suggestions. Tho I think we're really talking about an OMG sub-forum:
- "OMG, Dark Eldars!"
- "OMG, recasting!"
- "OMG, soft scores!"
etc.

And your doing the other half while trying to blame someone else. Good one.

What happens when the police refuse to arrest someone clearly committing a crime? Is it then illegal for citizens to point it out?

Give it a goddamn rest Shuma.

If you consider my post a troll post than so is your response to this post a troll post.

I was laughing at the irony of the situation. It's only a troll post because you felt the need to respond with an attack on my post, so obviously it did attract one troll.

I've had enough.

I don't want to see OT disappear. I like the leeway that we seem to have in OT (even with a few warnings and one 3 day vacation). I also laugh at the irony of certain people wanting others banned for being trolls when they themselves should be permabanned.

Gold star. Gold stars all around.

Hardly the worst term I could have used.

This is most certainly in the top 10 most funny topics on Dakka so far...

Yep. if this were the mod forum, that post would get you a suspension. most anything Shuma/fatweaver/myself says would get him banned.
At least he wouldn't have to defend his statements on the witness stand.

Ah i see. And i agree it is ironic. But maybe you should have put it differently. Otherwise i agree. I only wanted to explain even traffic in the OT forum is good traffic

no doubt.

I plead the 5th.

My S&W pleads the 2nd.

Any more dumb questions your honor?

*Had to edit my typo before it was pointed out to me as a troll post that isn't a troll post.

Hmm.

I wish, but let me down load the slew of new TBone pics I have first. Nothing's more funny walkwise than a real dog on point, and two wiener dog flankers dragging GC.

Why do apples swim?

When ever the moderator is a troll, you have to wonder about the value of a forum. I'll put it out there that I would subscribe to Dakka Dakka but for knowing that my money would go towards supporting the OT forum, and moderators like Frazzled.

My supposed flame has just been superseeded, I will now therefore drift into the background and all going well everyone will forget.
