Moving threads to off-topic is winning it? So is the Hive always winning, or can it never be won (since it can't be moved anymore to off-topic?)

...

The thread being moved to off-topic doesn't mean the thread itself should go off-topic, right?

He wins because he could ban/suspend people.
The Hive automatically wins since it plays by it's own rules which are well within the rules of the game.

Technically... I this thread might belong in meta after all it was about the workings of ENworld... but then meta isn't really the place for this kind of discussion. Therefore this thread might have resulted in a quantum paradox which might never resolve itself without creating a wormhole to a parallel dimension ruled by crab people.

Sometimes, it turns out that reality is not as fantastic as fiction.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is not why we instituted a reputation system. It is there so you can reward folks for making this a better place to come to, read, and enjoy. Please, don't abuse is such that it is not useful for that purpose.

If people like what he said and feel they should reward him for being funny (or whatever), then why is it wrong?

I'm not Umbran, or a mod, but this is why I think it's wrong:

1) It was insulting to everyone who earned their rep through the well though out display of wit, humor, intelligence, and/or brilliance. Board rep should never become this site's version of a 'you decided to participate in this activity gold sticker.'

2) People being rewarded with positive board rep after begging sets a bad precedent. Ideally the bar for getting board rep should be higher then "Post rep +1 please."

3) It just wasn't funny, considering that the OP isn't known for being humorous on this site (or at least I never took any of the messages of his that I read as being attempts at humor)... In fact, it was lame compared to the responses people gave to the post.

Well, at least he was trying! We have to encourage attempts to get a little less serious!

i actually thought it was hilarious on a lot of levels.

1. i was "gaming" enworld for xp just like i "game" dnd.

2. it was meta of an xp system of a messageboard that deals with a game with an xp ystem. 3rd degree meta.

3. 3 people gave me negative experience. that's funny in itself. but a dozen or more gave me positive experience. many more people thought it was humorous than thought it was a bad post deserving of a penalty. how i could have gone down from 16 xp to -1 is another matter though. i don't quite get that.

4. in ending up with negative xp, declaring myself undead and a lich. that was hilarious. i told my group abut it and they laughd their ases off saying i finally revealed my true nature.

5. most importantly, people taking an xp system of a message board so seriously that they would penalize me or otherwise get upset about me asking for xp, to me that's the funniest thing of all.


as for you thinking nothing i ever said as being funny, well, i can only state that you must have some sort of anti-lawyer bias going. expect to get served with a lawsuit for discrimination against lawyer humor.

now that some kind soul gave me enough xp to get me out of lichdom, with 1 xp in the bank, i repeat my call:

MAKE ME A GOD!!!! BIKINI-CLAD SERVING WENCHES SHALL BE YOURS!! UNLIMITED WISH FULFILLMENT!!

IN ADDITION, I PROMISE TO BANISH ALL THOSE WHO TAKE THIS BOARD SO SERIOUSLY TO THE 457TH LAYER OF THE ABYSS, WHERE THEY SHALL BE TICKLED UNTIL THEY PISS THEMSELVES FOR 666 YEARS!!!
