Announcement that includes the rules. You should probably read it!

Well, yeah. But the sandbox aspect is for mods.

Tnophelia · 2011-02-08 22:15:11

Hello, this is NOT Tnophelia. If you are NOT reading this then the Mods have edited my post NOT yet.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-09 00:53:04

I'm still reading that...

Central Avenue · 2011-02-09 00:55:51

Hmm...how do I know INUH didn't just edit that to say "the mods have not edited my post"?

YAY PARANOIA

glennmagusharvey · 2011-02-09 00:57:12

he didn't because the M is still capitalized.

Tnophelia · 2011-02-09 00:58:59

oh u

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-09 00:59:42

I won't say I wasn't tempted...

Though I probably would have left it there and added another line, just to mess with you ;D

Central Avenue · 2011-02-09 01:00:00

Technically, he could have just edited it twice, capitalizing the M the second time.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-02-09 01:01:06

ohmu

Tnophelia · 2011-02-09 01:01:48

what is thast?

Anonus · 2011-02-09 01:07:57

It's a picture of his face, after saying "ohmu". Obviously.

snowbull · 2011-02-09 08:49:13

Those huge ass bugs from Naussica, some ghibli anime.

The significance of this, I don't know.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-02-09 15:52:05

If you change "OH U" by one letter you get OHMU.

Tnophelia · 2011-02-09 16:07:38

You mean:

If you replace the space with a M you get ohmu.

Spaces don't count as letters because they are not pronounceable.

"One year, the admin backed up the forum on 31 March, and then gave EVERYONE moderator powers.

Completely insane hilarity ensued for the next 24 hours."

I go to tame places

. On a chess site I visit a bug allowed everyone to edit player biographies for about thirty minutes; most of us just helped out by adding info that had been missing.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-02-09 22:28:05

That's a chess site.

The site I'm talking about is a Mega Man fansite.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-02-12 22:59:55

Added rules 4 (illegal stuff) and 5 (about wonderposting).

Tnophelia · 2011-02-13 00:24:31

What, new rules? This is major bullshit. You are sucking all of the fun out of IJBM.

IJBM IS RUINED FOREVER.

randomtropeloser · 2011-02-13 00:27:56

I'm sorry Tno, it's all my fault...

snowbull · 2011-02-13 16:54:01

Dammit, I wanted to call RUINED FOREVER

Anonus · 2011-02-13 18:43:42

So we can't do drugs here anymore?

Central Avenue · 2011-02-13 18:46:14

Not without a prescription! *pops pills*

Longfellow · 2011-02-15 00:01:21

Jeez, I've been absent a lot. Real life sucks

Thanks for keeping the trains running on time, GMH.

I like and stand by all the rule changes.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-02-15 00:41:03

@ Longfellow: The main thing we might have to clarify is how much we're allowed to gossip about other tropers, and in what ways. Gossip is inevitable, but obviously drama and flaming aren't and ought not to be allowed; what do you think is a healthy balance?

Longfellow · 2011-02-15 01:32:16

I think it depends. I'd say we should be able to criticize any Troper's words or actions if it's relevant to discussion. For instance, if there's an IJBM about Super Mario Kart and you disagree with TVTropes!Longfellow's opinion that it's an awesome game, go ahead and disagree. If the thread ever derails into rag-on-Longfellow, though, that's too far.

It's kinda vague, but I can't think of a way to make it specific. What's your thought?

glennmagusharvey · 2011-02-15 01:38:40

So far I've taken the more lenient route of "as long as it's not a pile-on, flamewar, or other uncivil dissing of someone, and as long as it's not causing drama, you're free to discuss them and their motives, but if it causes drama or devolves into that crap, then plug = pulled."

Tnophelia · 2011-02-15 04:47:20

What about if somebody comes into IJBM from Tv Tropes to purposely provoke somebody they don't like? There aren't ignore features on here.

Miya · 2011-02-15 06:17:09

You could, of course ignore the person yourself *shrugs*

glennmagusharvey · 2011-02-15 13:10:10

Well, then that person can be warned or banned.

Tnophelia · 2011-02-15 13:42:39

People like me have no self control unfortunately. :<

Howdy, Stranger!
