We're not flaming spammers, Neek. We are aiming for one of two things - either they change, or they leave. I made rules that make spamming difficult and unrewarding. As such, spam seems to have been going away. No one is saying "YOU EFFING SPAMMERS GO AWAY I HATE YOU, YOU IDIOTIC...RAWR." We are telling them how to change. When they refuse, we get annoyed, because everyone knows that I hate banning people. I have only banned one person before, and he was a random IZ hating troll. If people refuse to listen to me and spam anyway, regardless of anything my mods and I say, then that's like saying "Oh, yeah? What are YOU going to do about it?".....that would be taking advantage of the fact that I am a nice person. So yes, we get pissed.
There's no flaming going on, though - ESPECIALLY since spammers haven't been spamming any more. And if we were flaming them so badly before, and making their time here miserable, I'm sure that they wouldn't still be here....so it must not be that bad. I'm actually very proud of them for making the effort to change. They are really becoming valuable members of this community, and if they keep it up, I'll be removing the loyalist-rebel titling very soon.

Um Hey just posting on this with some suggestions . * Spammers are people to not some disease , please give them a little bit of less flaming, I get mad just reading the flames I see on spammers. As a reforming spammer I realize it is easy to get off topic and try to be cute and funny, but being flamed at will not really help the situation .Except for making the flamers a scary presence. * I know that was alittle bit of a rant but thats my feeling on the subject . I am just trying to say that instead of flaming spammers and telling them how wrong they are ,and how they are killing angels by just being there, just say " Hey your starting to spam , and please get back on topic ". Please don't get mad at me for this post! I'm pretty sure I haven't seen any flames at all on this forum, unless they were posted last night while I was offline. Seriously. We do ask that spammers get back on topic; sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. I have yet to see any spammers flamed, unless it's in a thread I ignored because it was full of crap. :] Just getting my two cents in here. Well, I saw a few flames on Rebels here and there. Not, like, whole threads or anything, but... And there a definitely flames about Loyalist made by Rebels. Me, I'm not anything. I have to be neutral a little bit longer, so I just ignore the whole Loyalist/Rebel issue. It didn't make me the happiest person that I can't congratulate my friend when she got the job, though. So, yeah, there have been a few flames, but not trillions. ~Snb793

ZOMG, really? That's--- Stop the spam Sarah! Stop it! Sorry let me go scold myself. Uh.. well, I'm sure it got deleted. I KNOW I saw it. I'm just not sure where. After all, there are three or four mods now. They could've been like 'Spam' and well... Let me look for it... Argh! I can't. Find. It! Wellz, if I find it I'll let you know! ~Snb793

What in the world are you talking about? I haven't noticed a single flame on this website, between any members of any rank, with the obvious exception of the troll. Me thinks you are not too familiar with what exactly "flaming" entails.
Flames are when someone is unjustly cruel and demeaning towards a person or persons for no good reason. Like if I were to randomly call you a f-ing moron for having a GIR avatar, or call someone something offensive over drawing ZIM's head too big. Silly things. Things meant for the purpose of being insulting and provoking feelings of hurt.
If you find someone who is purposefully trying to be rude and start up drama you need to pm Swiblet with a link to the thread immediately.
This goes for everyone.

I think I know EXACTLY what I'm talking about because I've been flamed before on other websites. Okay? And ya know what? Two things could have happened! 1. The person could have EDITED it. 2. A mod could have deleted it! ~Snb793 :: ;D

Well...as far as mods go, they tell me everything that they do (so far, the only mod that has taken any administrative action has been Skoo)...and no one has had to do anything with their mod powers except get rid of spam. I'm sure you'll understand if I can't simply take your word for it, regarding flames, if you can't even give me an example. If someone's flamed you, the LEAST you could do is paraphrase one of the flames and let me know who did it. That's something you could do, right?
And also...you wrote up there that you have seen "some flames about loyalists from rebels"....what could rebels possibly say about loyalists? O.o Rebels are rebels from having spammed too much. Loyalists are the people that make meaningful posts (most of the time) and basically listen to me when I tell them to stop/change something. Why would a rebel flame a loyalist?

Well without any proof of the matter I think it's kinda irrelevant. I've been around and haven't seen any flames nor would I have deleted them without giving warnings out.
I HAVE seen discussions about Rebels versus Loyalists in a joking way in the chatbox and found it slightly amusing, but not an actual flaming. Otherwise I would have nipped that in the bud.
Let's not assume anything for now. If a flame happens please direct us to it and we'll take care of it.

Nah, let her answer :B I'm curious. Of course, I'm not going to do anything about something that I have no proof of, but I'd like to know who she says said what. If she really had problems with someone, then she wouldn't mind telling me who, I'm sure.

Forget it.. Apparently, you're the only one taking me seriously, Swiblet. Besides it was like a week ago. And the Rebels were just jealous, I guess. There really is no other explanation. I said other websites too- by the way. On fan fiction. And... I just figured out today that anyone can delete posts! (Sorry, I'm a newb! XD So anyone could have done it... Just forget it. People don't take newbs seriously. Except for Swiblet. And I thank you. Oh yeah... thanks for saying something about the website that's free or somethings. Sorry, random. But, I can't really answer on my forum.. So, thanks. ~Snb793 I love fanfiction.net!

Well I would be happy to take you seriously if you had any conclusive evidence. You've been dancing around the subject matter, twiddling your thumbs, and going "Hm.. maybe.. I think.." No one can take that seriously, because there's obviously nothing to work with.
It apparently wasn't anything too serious anyway, if you're only just now bringing it up and it happened a week ago.
Case closed then.

But if you won't name names or show evidence, especially for a week old flame we missed, then you can't say none of us don't care about 'newbs' and their troubles. Infact I've only been Mod for a couple days. I did say if it happens again to inform us immediately, and Swiblet has been asking you for 2 days to tell him.

Fine, I'll be a perfect little angel! I'll go on a man hunt and attack any fames I see. I'll post them on here and... Ugh, I give up. I did see flames. I forget where. But I did. And give me a break. Please? I was half a centimeter from a scorpion and I found a nest of babies. I HAVE TO SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN! So, I can't really get enough sleep which leads to crankiness which I turn on you guys. You guys think I'm offended. I get angry that you think I'm angry. my angry issues kick and and I attack the ground with a crowbar. So, I guess I'll look for them. Pray I don't get stung tonight. Those babies are smaller than a pinky nail! And EVIL! And they gave me an idea for a script. Or is it more like a fan fic. Attack Of The Scorpions... I like it. Sorry, back on topic. I'll look for flamers... Yada. Yada. Yada. Ect. Ect. Ect. ~Snb793
