Come on guys, as much as I am for the poking fun at the forum degenerates, we might want to skip out on that thread.

Pretty sure ApocAlypse was only trying to poke fun at how ridiculous rumors can be in that they're not necessarily remotely accurate... then again you never know with this kind of thing.

That account was created on 2011-01-23 05:46:54 and had 3153 posts.
Reason: And the prize for "first to exploit the tragedy" goes to.... farvacola. Show some respect. For this: On December 15 2012 03:10 farvacola wrote:
Don't worry, I expect the NRA and fellow gun folk will again loudly yell against anyone who even mentions the possibility that gun control laxity played a role in this amongst others acts of fatal violence. I do wonder how mainstay these sorts of shootings will have to become before public opinion starts to change. And before the requisite "You so stupid, how would taking away guns fix this?" pops up, it's not about "taking away guns", it's about making them more difficult to acquire, because the fact of the matter is that getting guns in the states is incredibly simple and far too easy. My thoughts go out to the families, this sucks.
User was temp banned for this post. Bans like this really hurt my enjoynment of this thread. I am now torn in halfs whether should I open a Website Feedback thread requesting that KwarK stops doing it for this reason!
Oh and honestly this... :|

Regarding the TB ban, whatever happened with it (didn't see the post that caused it or the context) his first route should have been to discuss the issue with the moderation staff. He was subsequently unbanned so he must have done that and the system worked. Bitching about tl from his platform before using the systems we have in place to fix mistakes is kinda unnecessary in my opinion. We were wrong to ban him apparently but we fixed it. By the same token he was wrong to turn it into a bigger issue than it needed to be and mischaracterise our process, he should clarify that it was fixed without any real drama or hassle.

Kwark is just proving that he is an equal opportunity tyrant. + Show Spoiler +That was just a joke by the way.

Yup, I think Poe's Law applies here. Even if he was poking fun at ridiculous rumours then there are better ways to do it, alternatively not poke fun at them and simply point out that they are ridiculous (I'm not sure what kind of rumours we are talking about, I'm staying out of that thread, what happened was tragic but there's nothing more for me to say on it).

If he was then he only has to PM me and explain and I'll undo it. The moderation here isn't as Judge Dredd as a lot of people seem to think.

And now he is trying to destabilize my hate towards him using my favourite references? What will I have left soon?

The moderation on TL seems very reasonable. One of the reasons I decided to post here (after lurking for a while) One way he/she gets a rightful ban, the other he/she gets a lesson in how posting can be misinterpreted. Maybe in future if he/she makes a satirical post he/she will sign-post it, knowing it is impossible to be sure it was satirical.
Edit: I feel sorry for you Kwark, having to moderate that thread.

Oops, I reported a fine post by accident. The damn "report stats" thread is making me care about my percentages now.

If you pay me 500000000 Esports dollars I will act on the report and rescue your percentages for you.

Sure, but first you need to send me a small down payment so that I can wire the money to you, from my Nigerian bank account. Did I mention I am a prince?

You can just click that you acted on the report, it doesn't autocomplete the action bit.

Don't worry, your report is filed under "User was banned". Your stats live to see another day.

It's probably a bad thing that when I heard about the shooting one of my earlier thoughts involved checking this thread.
