Twelve men broke loose in two thousand thirteen
From a little message board called FOFC
Twelve pictures lined up across the front page
Seems the mods had a summertime war to wage

Well, SkyDog told the people they had nothing to fear
Said, "The last thing they want to do is hang around here"
They mostly came from boards with long French names
But one of the dozen was a hometown shame

Same posts on the main page, same clock on the wall
Been one seat empty fifty two days in all
Freezing slow time, away from the board
He's got thirty eight days left, never kissed a girl
He's got thirty eight days left, never kissed a girl

We were sitting round the table, heard the telephone ring
Father said he tell them if he saw anything
Heard the ping on my speakers something new in the box
Checked my email saw its from Crimson Fox

See humour is a bitch, so a man got boxed
Ninety days in the slammer just for bein' a Fox
Folks went back to normal when they closed the case
They still stare at their shoes when they pass our place

molson cried, "The horror has finally ceased"
We whispered, "Yeah, for the time being at least"
And over his shoulder on the FOFC megaphone
SkyDog said, "Let's go, CF, son, we're taking you home"

Same posts on the main page, same clock on the wall
Been one seat empty fifty two days in all
Freezing slow time, away from the board

This is true, I am moderator of WW forums, but I cant ban anyone. If only I could then I would probably not be lynched ever again.

(honestly- I'm not really comfortable starting my own thread for this and, besides, we could use a threadjack)

Sorry, guys- I suppose I did run of without so much of an explanation. I had a few days where I didn't post and realized I had some more free time to devote to a couple of long term writing projects I had on my back burner for the past year, what with the move and everything. Last year, it was all about getting back to Houston to reuinte with my wife but I needed to get some of these things done or I would never do it. Compound that with a pair of other new things for this week: a couple week trip to Russia in May and looking for a house, well, time has been short.

Then I started looking forward: in the next few years, time's going to get more scarce. So I made a deal with myself: I couldn't come back here and post until I got through what I needed to. If not now, then I'm my dad who retired last year and is just now going through pictures and slides he took in the 70s. In short, I spend a lot of time here, quality time, but a large quantity, too. So I needed to reclaim some of that for a stretch. (for the record, I left myself a couple of other outlets like RR to post in but I just don't post in those nearly as much and, to me, they're much more quick hitters: if I miss something, no big deal)

Now, excuse me- I have a bunch of thread necromancy to perform. That thing that happened the last week of January- damn right, I'm going to post about it. Hm... maybe there's a reason I had to do this in the first place. Nah.

(First to the FOFC Hardcore league thread: I'm really sorry about that and glad you guys kept things going this season; well, that or hoops since you know I'm up to about 10 hours of basketball at this point today)

Hey, now! That's pretty one sided.

Well, this one's winding down. I can't wait to see who the mods target for banhammering next. I think this dubb93 guy is on thin ice. But maybe we'll get a swerve. The CF one showed that trolling is not necessarily a prerequisite for a ban.

Actually, I believe it showed that if you troll a political or religious thread, you will probably get boxed. Nothing more, nothing less. Why is that so hard to understand?

I guess what I don't understand is what "trolling" means - I always was under the impression that it meant attacking people or trying to get a rise out of someone in a mean-spirited way, not off-topic silly posts. Whatever name we give to it, this showed that you can get banned, for a long time, for off-topic silly posts (in political and religious threads, at least, even when those threads are entirely civil). I think that kind of OT levity actually helps keep those threads from getting too heated sometimes. If them's the rules though, them's the rules.

FWIW, I think by any measure, the college basketball thread is filled with far more trolling and asshattery than any religious or political thread we've had here in several years. I guess that kind of makes sense, because maybe we're collectively more passionate about sports than we are politics and religion. But if that's the distinction, that's the distinction, I will not assert any constitutional rights to oppose it.

Subby · 03-22-2013, 03:47 PM

That's a fair point (what is trolling?) so I went back and read the thread that got him boxed. Again, this is pure speculation, but I would say that if you look at any one of his comments, they could be pretty easily dismissed as silly, pointless, not funny, lightweight, etc.. (choose your descriptor). When taken as a whole, it does seem like CF is intentionally trying to be a dick or to get a rise out of revrew. Just my opinion, though.

As far as your point about the college basketball thread, maybe trolling and asshatery are to be expected with discussion about one's favorite team and its rivals. Maybe religion and politics are seen as more mature topics and require a more discerning approach? I don't know. Again, just speculating.

I wonder if any of it has been reported. Ben has said numerous times that he can't read everything so he misses a lot. That's why the pictures of chicks in the cool pic thread lasted so long.

Banning for trolling seems very subjective to me. I would classify a lot of what Subby posts as trolling and he never gets punished for it.

I just try to make sure I'm not a douche bag to any of you guys and avoid being in trouble that way. It is not that hard really.
