EPTIn January 2017:
”Also, if I gonna put forward a proposal, it would definitely be to make a tank in siege mode shoot a nuke that does 99999 damage.”
In April 2017:
”I think siege tanks should have 9999 health and shoot nuclear missiles.”
In May 2017:
”I think what we should do is make it so siege tanks, when in siege mode, shoot out smaller siege tanks that crawl towards their target and explode.”
In November 2018:
”I think siege tanks should have:
- 9999 health
- should shoot a nuclear missile”
In March 2019:
”As it stands, right now, the Terran siege tank is wildly underpowered and is useless in most match-ups. I have long be an advocate of increasing its health slightly from 150 to 9999, and changing its attack to a nuclear missile launch.”
Invariably, these posts attract large crowds of extremely unfunny reply guys desperately trying to impress Nina by clearly demonstrating that they got the joke (hyuck).
Now, if you look at the page where that last reply was made by NinaZerg less than 24 hours ago, 100% of the preceding replies were made in earnest, genuinely trying to contribute to the discussion.

Then the thread gets derailed, 6 trite continuations of her joke are made, yet only the last one of them gets a warning?
(I take no issue with warning the poster that called the community ”a joke”, but specifically the one merely continuing the derailment that Nina started. Namely A.Alm.)
My question is this: if you’re going to warn someone for merely continuing a derailment, why not warn the actual derailer?
