A note to the mods (and everyone else)

[FutureWorm]

Please let me have my fun in Avatar Absurdity.

http://forum.team17.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=59

Thank you.

[MonkeyforaHead]

Oh, you.

And was that avatar made by Pickleworm? Because he made something extremely similar recently. :p

[FutureWorm]

Yes, it was.

[thomasp]

I hope you don't mind - I've closed the "spammier" of the two threads, just to show that I'm doing something ;)

[Pigbuster]

How much do you wanna bet that everyone else is going to copy and ruin the joke? :rolleyes:

[FutureWorm]

Oh, you all ruined it. :(

I was hoping that I could actually trick one of the new members into thinking I was a noob, but now it has become rather obvious.

[Pigbuster]

If that was your point, I suppose I could go along with it.
It's kinda problematic, though, since there are a lot of senior members that know who you are, but don't see OD. Aku, for one.

I am laughing SO ****ing hard right now.

Now that I have achieved my ultimate goal, should I go back to normal outside OD?

[Pigbuster]

Wow. Never mind.
who is she to speak? she's any normal, competant user of this forum, that's who. she has the brains to understand that everyone has their own opinion, and that posting on a thread simply to flame someone is completely pointless and entirely stupid. you don't have to like my comics, I don't mind that at all. everyone has their own sense of humor and you're entitled to your own, but when you start flaming me simply because you think my comics aren't any good, then you've crossed a line. when you start flaming others who are trying to politely ask you to explain yourself you've crossed another line. when you can't spell any better than a belligerent neanderthal who's entire life's thoughts consist of "KRONK SMASH!!" while you're posting pointless spam which is insulting someone for no reason at all, then you've thrown yourself into a position to be watched, banned and/or flammed in response. you have no purpose to post in my thread if you don't like my comics unless you're suggesting that I improve them and giving me ideas on how to improve them. any posts for reasons aside from that make you look far worse than you ever have the right to claim someone else looks.

at this point, you've relinquished all rights you have to make any form of post on this thread, and you are already going to get reported for flaming. if you aren't set straight after being watched for your attitude since your return, then I will certainly suggest you for a nice, shiny new banned status.

we have no need for your pointless flames in this or any other thread so do us all a big favor and learn to post or leave. thank you, goodbye!
Comedy gold. To be honest, if I was never brought into OD, I would've been on his side.
But then I would realize that it was FutureWorm.
Still, how could he not realize that you're kidding? I'm hoping that it's because of my response.
Now that I have achieved my ultimate goal, should I go back to normal outside OD?
Nah. I think you should keep going.
[EDIT]BEATEN. By an identical post time, no less. Oh well.

[FutureWorm]

I think it may well have been. You have quite a bit of influence over what happens in Fan Art.
Nah. I think you should keep going.
Problem is, I can only go for so long until I really get watched. :p

[Pigbuster]

I do?
News to me. :p

[FutureWorm]

I do?
News to me. :p
Somewhat. It's part of the reason you were invited in here.

If everyone could come in and flame me RIGHT NOW, that would be great. Thanks. :)

edit: I just realized that my opinions in that thread toward Akuryou are exactly the same as my real opinions, just in a substantially less articulate format.

[Pigbuster]

I did my part. ;)
Why Aku doesn't realize that you're joking is still confusing me.
if you aren't set straight after being watched for your attitude since your return
That would indicate that he knows who you are... but does he not remember your sarcasm or what?
It might really be because of me. Wonkyz.

[bloopy]

Every forum has one. Interestingly, Akuryou does not take on this role over at blamethepixel.com.

[thomasp]

We usually keep post reports secret, but under the circumstances, I feel it is appropriate to post this one from Akuryou, relating to your posts in his thread:

I thought his first post since returning was a joke, but this is just blatent flaming. set him on being watched and make sure to delete the crap spewing forth from this idiot.

Please stop now, FutureWorm. I have had to remove the offending posts, and it won't be long before Sel puts you on a Being Watched status. Sel gets those reports too...

[Zero72]

http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=489124&postcount=4 Hysterical. :p

Problem is, every time I try to get in on something like this, everybody already knows who I am and can tell I'm joking.

Edit: Wow, the other thread has me in TEARS.

[thomasp]

Also, I would just like to state one other thing here:

Remember a 'Being Watched' status prevents you from doing the following:

Creating new threads
Changing your signature
Changing your avatar
Changing anything else in your profile
Sending and receiving private messages
Voting in polls
Editing your post (I think) (I stand corrected)
and the big one:
PREVENTS YOU FROM ACCESSING ANYTHING INSIDE OPEN DISCUSSION - can't create, can't reply & can't view

[Paul.Power]

Editing your post (I think)If that's true, then that's just evil. Learning to use the Edit button is one of the keys to redemption.

[FutureWorm]

*sigh*

Honestly thought you would have played along with this one. Oh well.

[SupSuper]

If that's true, then that's just evil. Learning to use the Edit button is one of the keys to redemption.Well a spammer could just go around editing all of his old posts and claim how he didn't spam. Even though nobody would fall for it :p

When I was watched the Edit button was just about the only thing that did work.:p

[Paul.Power]

Well a spammer could just go around editing all of his old posts and claim how he didn't spam. Even though nobody would fall for it :pThing is, if you can't edit, then double posting becomes a serious issue. I post on plenty of forums where there is no edit feature (dA, GFAQs, TMS), and the lack of an edit button is really frustrating.

[thomasp]

*sigh*

Honestly thought you would have played along with this one. Oh well.
I'm happy to play along with the spam that you were doing in avatar absurdity, but you were pushing it too far in akuryou's thread. Once we start getting reports of flaming, then enough is enough. Reports about you spamming would have probably been ignored, but because your posts were flaming, something had to be done.

Sorry :(


I wasn't sure if editing was prohibited by Being Watched, but I've had a look around the forum, and it appears that you can still edit your posts.

[Xinos]

Oh, you all ruined it. :(

I was hoping that I could actually trick one of the new members into thinking I was a noob, but now it has become rather obvious.

Errr. That MAKES you a noob. No matter how long you have been here.
You teh failed at keeping your dignity.

[FutureWorm]

Why did you close the thread, then?

[Pickleworm]

This whole event was absolutley hysterical. A++ work, everyone.

[FutureWorm]

Also, I missed the other stuff after my second inflammatory post before it was all deleted. If one of the mods could post it here, or alternately take a screenshot of it, I would be much obliged.

[thomasp]

Why did you close the thread, then?
I only closed one - according to the logs, Sel closed the other. And, I'm not going against Sel's decision and reopening the thread, before you ask :)

Also, I missed the other stuff after my second inflammatory post before it was all deleted. If one of the mods could post it here, or alternately take a screenshot of it, I would be much obliged.

Sorry, no can do. Because it got reported, Sel permanently removed the posts (as he does with all reports) - there is no way to get them back. When us user mods delete them, they are still visible to mods & admins. But when Sel deletes posts.....

[FutureWorm]

Gah. Oh well.

At least I still have this (http://boris.gelatinous.net/akuryou.html).

'gree't

Although I also have to agree with thomasp. You can only push something like this so far before it starts becoming real. :p

[Pickleworm]

Yeah, Futureworm (I think) and I have had our fun, and we're going to cool it now.

[Paul.Power]

Well I think it's a frustrated expression of neo-impressionist post-modernistic antidisestablishmentarianism...

*gets shot*

[M3ntal]

What's it got to do with the Church of England, Paul? :p

[FutureWorm]

Yeah, Futureworm (I think) and I have had our fun, and we're going to cool it now.
Yep, I'm done. The comic was the last bit. Now that the thread has been locked, I'm finished.

[thomasp]

Note: I DID NOT LOCK IT, nor am I going to unlock it :)

[FutureWorm]

To commemorate this saga, I would appreciate it if everyone added "I lol'd at Akuryou13" to their sigs.

[Pickleworm]

That's one thing I will put in my sig. Everyone needs to lol at Akuryouroyuaruadsf.

[Run]

Gah. Oh well.

At least I still have this (http://boris.gelatinous.net/akuryou.html).

Hahaha, very appropriate music. That's from that flash animation isn't it?

[FutureWorm]

Hahaha, very appropriate music. That's from that flash animation isn't it?
Yep. The Karnov Playset on Something Awful.

Also, just another slightly noobish reminder for everyone to add "I lol'd at Akuryou13" to their sigs.

[philby4000]

I'm loving the avatar.

[Zero72]

Woowoo, trendy trendy.

[thomasp]

Consider it done. [the sig thingy, that is]

[Paul.Power]

Sure, why not.

[Plutonic]

ok i'm in.

[Paul.Power]

He's noticed already.

Apologies for the OD Overdose reference, but I believe it's suitably obscure.

Apparently, Horigan lol'd at Akuryou13.

[Plutonic]

interesting that....

[SupSuper]

Forum members are like sheep. We oughta create some sort of really silly fad, like "I was there therefore I'm stupid" and see if they still follow :p

[Akuryou13]

I don't know the policy on these things since this forum is pretty much a goof-off and screw-the-rules type place, but oh well, I'm posting anyway.


THAT was why you guys put that in your sigs?! geez! you guys enjoyed that way too much. I mean, what chance did I have? I was kinda cut off from this place. looked to me like he just showed back up after a labotomy.....you guys are sick :p

[bonz]

you guys are sick :p
Yes.
The creme de la creme of sick.

[SupSuper]

It keeps us from going mad and killing each other in a bloody orgy.

[philby4000]

Speak for yourself.

I kill other ODers all the t-

LOOK OVER THERE, IT"S A BADGER WITH A GUN.:eek:
