It's times like these that make me miss Van. Sure, he was out of line a lot, but at least he took the time to be cool at first. He TRIED to get along. It just wasn't in him.

Yup. Third time. In five days.

In the second one he even states that he is preforming thread necromancy.

It was locked pretty quickly with a 'hey, don't do that again', to be fair, it's not like it sprialled into a 50 page long thread of bashing and mods screaming OH GOD I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ALL THROUGH INTERNETS.

It wasn't an abuse of mod power, it was a use of mod power.

The thread was locked first and foremost because it was an old, old, old thread which got bumped up. The lock was to keep more people from responding to it and having it turn into a giant flamefest. As Komi said, that was use of mod powers as they're supposed to be used.

An abuse would have been me locking this thread as soon as I saw it.

Think of all the things I could be doing as mod (locking threads for the slimmest of reasons, reporting people to the admins for the slightest transgression, telling off anyone I don't like), then compare to what I'm actually doing and see whether I'm really as trigger happy as you're accusing me of being.

Hey, you've done nothing but prove me wrong since I opened my mouth. I think you've been dead on at least since midday yesterday.

That option for us singing songs around the campfire is still open, NM! You, me, a poorly played guitar, and a bag of marshmallows.

Be there or I'll have you banned

Is there room for an illogical fear of flaming marshmallows? 'Cause I might have a problem then....

Everyone makes mistakes, especially before they're familiar with a forum and its denizens. Newb syndrome.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm not really in the habit of checking post dates. It's easy for us to guess the age of a thread by how far back it is in the forums, but newbs haven't familiarized themselves with the paces of the forums yet.

Now that he knows he's been doing it and we disapprove, let's lay off the guy.

And let's lay off Merc. Just because she's scary.

There is nothing illogical about a fear of flaming marshmallows! Those have been known to kill people when used as projectiles...

Well... If I search for a subject, any subject, I know I have to dig pretty freaking far back in time to find one even a month ago.

so when you erform necromancy you know it because you have to skim 5 or 6 pages of results to find a thread.
