Give the misinformation/satire threads a rest, please

[howandwhy99]

Does that mean we can't post "I love <insert discussion topic> with my whole body, even my pee-pee" posts anymore?

I think hong should stop posting. Really, I can't keep track of all the funny things he is saying, and if he keeps saying them, the interweb will run out of funny things to say.

And then NO ONE WILL COME TO THE WEBS ANYMORE.

Reported. Try and lay off the doom and gloom misinformation posts will ya?

:sheesh:

Hey man, I'm just looking out for your funny.

You know, I don't think this rule should be quite so draconic (EDIT: accidental pun). Some joke threads that I've seen are really quite funny, such as the 4E modeled after Halo one that just got shut down . I'm not trying to say that I'm mad at el-remmen for shutting it down, after all, he was just enforcing the rules, but I do think that maybe the rules should lighten up a bit. After all, where else can people post their 4E humor threads?

Maybe a compromise would be to make a sub-forum of the 4E forum for humor-related 4E.

We've been discussing whether the need for the moratorium on satire threads should remain, and it will probably be removed later this week.

IMHO, a bit of hypocrisy and a double-standard is desirable here, since satire posts generally don't deserve to be a whole thread. Even if they're funny, they're basically one person showing off -- and that should be worth less than a conversation between multiple people.

It'd be great if we had one satire thread where people could post their jokes, but the satyric posts would lose a bit of their comedic impact if they're not on the same level as real threads.

So I propose that moderators:

1/ Make a sticky "archive thread" where people can post links to their funny threads; and

2/ Give each satire thread a limited lifespan based entirely arbitrarily on how funny y'all think it is, or how funny the thread stays.

Cheers, -- N

At risk of being labeled humor-impaired (which nobody who knows me personally would do), I'd be okay with ending the moratorium only if it came with a rule that all such satire/misinformation threads be labeled with the "humor" tag.

We're still in an area of much confusion, and too much ill-will by a vocal minority. Allowing such threads to thrive under any other tag is just asking to spawn misunderstandings that will linger long beyond the day 4E is actually released.

Cookies !?! Cookies are good, but the last person that offered me cookies in an alley was Doc_souark and I was sore for a week.

I don't think I want to know where he was putting those cookies...

In his cookie jar. Duhhhhh!

After the last satire thread, I'd be in favor of extending that moratorium. They're just not funny and only serve to throw gas on the fire.

I don't know about misinformation but having read and reread wotc's perview of saga or is that soggy, I know this mutation of D&D will not be on my table or anyplace else. Sounds like they are gutting the combat system to make it easier(dumbed down) and most of the D&D rules. Anyone remember Monsters and TREASURE. Treasure was part of the game for fun and as part of the reason for adventuring. But treasure is not important in starwars so suddenly it's not important in D&D? Well if you don' t like my message knock yourself out and boot me. Doesn't matter as I am done with 4eeeech and wotc. No more money wasted on such toadys.

Thanks for the forum and Good bye!

After being accused of crapping on the future of 4E because I voiced an opinion similar to Gwathlas, I believe I shall take the same route and bow out. Enjoy life, and best wishes to you all.
