    Yeah, that was pretty much my impression.

    Vorpy does have some good points at times, most people will call it trolling when she's not following through and explaining them, but ~shrug~

    ^^^She hasn't really consistently stuck to one side of the argument, but other than that, I agree.

    Meh, I just ignore her.

    What's she gonna do, bite me or something?

    Neither because you don't like either. -shrug-

    The point is, that just because an asshole stops being right, it doesn't mean that he isn't right. And I really dislike how this belief has now propagated to make it look as if now, you have to be very careful of what you say because you might be wrong otherwise.

    Is assholery bad? Fuck yes. Do I dislike how some of the people in my side (Including me) have argued? Oh yes. This is a big decision. But it doesn't stop us from being right. I just wish some of the people on our side would tone down the assholery.

    I thought this thread could have been far more than us bitching (And at times, it was) it could have been about us coordinating our arguments, knowing how to proceed, share information in a big back room without having to clutter a thread. But as it turned out, you're kinda right. We have been doing nothing but complaining about moderation.

    Do I still dislike Madrugada? Yes. I have had many reasons to do so in the past. Does it matter to my arguments and posting here? No. 

    Overalll...what I'm trying to get at is...well, whatever it is you feel, don't let neither us or them influence you. Just vote on what you believe and let it be all.

    Again, does anyone have the links to Cygan, Ninjaclown, Forzare, and Norganest's posts proving the 70% thing? I can't find all of them.

    Let it be, by now, we all know about the majority issue except lolotea and memeber so fthe staff agree and hold it as fact.

    Wait, so someone asked for a reposting of the example check, then someone else posted it and got thumped for being offtopic?

    I appreciate how ninja was thumped for providing bad examples of Troper Tales when another troper was asking about said examples.

    ^ Speaking of ninjas...
  • ninjaclownninjaclown
    I don't even know what to say anymore. Am I going to get thumped for even mentioning they exist now?

    >Please do not start posting the results of trawling for examples again. All that proves is that there are bad examples.


    Why is that a bad thing? It's probably the hardest evidence we have to support our argument.

    I was kind of skeptical before, but Maddy really IS trying to sabotage the pro-deletion side.
  • MyrmidonMyrmidon
    I'm okay with her defending TT, but this is just underhanded.

    Yeah, she is clearly abusing her mod power there.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    Yeah, when a big part of our argument consists of the fact that so much of TT is crap, even beyond the predictable problematic pages, it's kind of not fair to not let us present our evidence.

    The best part is no one can call her out on becTHUMPED.
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    Now that's just silly. What Maddy said is as close as it gets to saying that you don't care about the argument.

    Well, I got Bobby's permission to post his rebuttal, which I have done so. Hope that helps.

    Umm.

    Direct people to the discussion page for personal anecdotes. This
    message to go directly on the article edit screen, stating
    unequivocally that personal anecdotes do not go in the articles. We no
    longer talk about 'troper tales.' We talk about personal anecdotes.


    Somebody tell me, what's the difference between this and the old troper tales, besides being posted alongside page discussion and format?

    He who laments and can't let go of the past is forever doomed to solitude.

    People were already posting shit on discussion pages, just not as much and it was a different kind of shit. I think a few didn't grasp the concept of "troper tales" and just dumped shit there
    anyway.

    Admittedly, it's not that much different than taking their shit to the forums, but still...
