Quote:Ah, the famed Moderator Consistency Clause.Originally Posted by Haetron
Dude, that's just leaving myself open for the reinterpretation clause.
Like where they send you PMs to inform you of why you've been banned....two days after the event and wonder why you don't respond within their allotted timescales? -

How to post as Haetron:
1. Mockingly post "ANTI-ROOKERY FUN IS HARMLESS"
1b. Opponent refutes: "Actually, your fun isn't harmless. It's at the expense of the Rookery."
2. Grasping at straws, post "BITTER TEARS", and also post:
How to post as Merry Mint.
Cry.
Scream to the Moderators.
Summon the Sorah-Haters from Years Past.
Cry to the Moderators Again.
Attempt Satire.
Post 'Wit'.
Fluff a Rookery Thread.
Cry.

Heck, if I did it daily, it'd just be consistent behavior, right?

After your 16-page, image-laden meltdown, crying isn't your best point of criticism.
But what's funny is how very true it is.
Isn't there (another) Rookery thread over there that you need to be padding the post count with or something? -
Nah, we don't want to steal your guys' tags, thanks.

Well. Consistency is awesome really.
We need to form a group. Then we can totally run away and be all shuper nice and friendly. -
Curious. I may do a count later tonight myself to see the fluctuation....but for now I require sleep.
And a Rookery thread can be termed as 'Rookery', much like creature categories in random CCGs and RPGs with their terminology - so generally Rookery 'themed'.
Of course this then leads to the question of what is termed Fluff?
Honest answers?
LFG/New Team/ New SG Threads - Not fluff. Someone looking for a group, forming a new group etc. is very much what these forums were intended for.
New To Server Threads - Can be seen as similar to the LFG threads, someone introducing themself to a new server is very similar...these do tend to degenerate quickly though if not really allowed to die.
RP/Fiction - Again, not really Fluff. Pseudo fluff as it could be seen as not really necessary but it fits in better than discussions about breakfast.
General CoX Queries - If we're calling this Fluff we're going about this wrong.
Fluff is generally non-CoX related, non-server related discussion. Book and film reviews. Birthday posts. Forum games. Fairly easy to see what is what here.
Grey areas do crop up - Grats on 50 posts, duplicate posts, cross posts....depends on who's looking at it.
Food for thought. -
Quote:So, roughly 1/6 of the first two pages is Rookery fluff.Originally Posted by Vivace
Already counted 2, there was a total of 9 Rookery threads, and something like 48 (I think, without looking) regular threads.
Dear god. And Viv, imagine that on Victory. Hell, I don't think Hamster came anywhere near that with his random day to day posts. Pity it only archives so far.
Edit: Curious.
Now, a proportion of Fluff to Non Fluff (Events, RP, Fiction, LFG posts, New To Server Posts, Queries)...that is the next investigation -
Quote:Actually, can we get a count?Originally Posted by Reiraku
Inflating it to "every thread" is a bit dishonest though, wouldn't you think? That would be like me saying that every thread for the last five pages are Rookery threads.
Past 5 pages, count the threads. -
I think it was around the same time as mudkips.

And one overwhelming, trumping similarity: you can ignore them both easily.
One of these things is not like the other. -

no one really cares.
Seriously, I should put money on which hornets stir up. Patterns aren't just easy to spot, they're laughable. -

You have a lot of venom Yellowjacket. Please stop telling me how I am, why I do things, and what my motivations are. Chill out. We're not going to have an adult debate if you keep slinging mud.

Xan,
HAppy Birthday posts are non-contructive.
Movie reviews are non-constructive.
Virtue Drink game is non-contrcutive.
Travel power is Angrey Angel is non-contructive.
Hello there I just join virture is not real constructive,
and mosto of the other "Contructive" topics that have gone to fluff because of thread derailing.
So, lets just keep the forum to talks about missions, SGs that are looking for members, TFs forming, and powers. Oh wait. Powers would be wrong cause there are specific forums for that. Sgs looking as a single thread...
Mission and TF talk is it.
I do remember the Community people and Devs saying that they let things slide in the server forums due to it being more of a community area.
No one has a Birthday topic every damn day.
Every other thread listed is just one thread.
No, Rookery violates the rules quite badly. -
Kaiju in general.
Seriously. The DE dropped the ball. Lusca dropped a ball. Nerva could be made epic....
Who keeps buttering the balls? -
This is what CoX needs. -

I would not complain if there was one thread.
As opposed to one thread that manages to bloat and spawn anew each and every damn day, come hell or high water.
The Say Something Nice Thread - is one thread.
The various RP threads are singular threads.
The Person Below threads....are singular threads.
None of these respawns each and every damn day just because the date changes. -
Goes beyond Frustrating to damn near fething retarded levels.
There's challenging.
There's difficult.
There's laughable.
There's 'LOL, you brought a what?'
The repairmen have currently reached that last stage. They're not just efficient. They're crack commando techies who will fix things even while dead. -
I too want the Great Old Ones back.
Wait, we're talking emoticons.
Ignore that.
Pretend you never saw this cult. -
Accurate summary. People have left. Game is quiet. Wandered elsewhere a bit myself.
Came back.
For the record, WAR isn't that bad. Mechanics-wise it's being run by retarded monkeys. And RPwise you will get far too many idiots who haven't a clue about the setting.
Y R U CHAOS AND NOT ALL KILL KILL KILL?
Skeggi ************! Go research naow. -
Why this whole gosh darn thread is shimply shuper!
