Glad we have these new mod explanations (I know they aren't that new anymore, but I got my first two in the past couple days). The mod didn't even bother to explain what part of the post was an insult, might has well have just said "This was deleted for flaming". Can you not call people a "troll" anymore? Was it because I said he makes stuff up, even though that's true?

It's clear as day what you were modded for. He even told you not to insult posters. And yes, you can't call people "trolls" any more. Surprised you hadn't run into it sooner or noticed that I stopped calling people trolls.

Ugh... this board has adopted that rule too?

Are we still allowed to call shit posts shit posts? Or get around it by calling them "gimmick posters"?

Calling someone a troll is being a troll, by definition. So I'd say it was never allowed.

You can call a shit post a shit post, but you can't call a shit poster a shit poster. You might not even be able to use gimmick poster.

At least they're not as bad as x360a. I got a perm ban for posting in a two-week old thread that was still on the first page (and not archived by their own system) because it wasn't a popular game (Bulletwitch). It's probably still on the first page. They're a bunch of goofs. That isn't a pretty word in Canada.

Might want to find a dictionary and look up the word Insult.


Troll isn't under the word insult in Oxford dictionary.

Just because a website says something is an insult doesn't make it true.

Which doesnt have any basis on whether it is or not. But you are either really bad at this or completely obtuse. Either way, have fun in purposeful ignorance. Im sure it will serve you well in life.


If the word trolling is an insult then so is ignorance.

Its 2018 TC. Get with the program because "apparently" anything you call anyone can offend anyone. And I mean literary "anyone"... so much to the point if it was PG rated made up 8 year old slang, the mods would tear your ass a new one. And yeah, im dead serious on that shit.

You know what's fucking stupid (i didn't read all the posts ITT so this may have been said) about NWD's is the fact that people probably saw that post but since it wasn't moderated, assumed it was okay.

Like seriously, they expect us to know what the rules are, and yet they'll leave up violations, clear as day (and then occasionally get pissed off when you repost moderations)

I see far, far more instances of obvious trolls using the "you just think that anyone that disagrees is a troll" "defence" than I do of people mislabeling others as trolls instead of arguing with them properly.

I guess I was unclear

In the bold part, as a random viewer, I might see a post that was NWD'd. However, I have no way of knowing that unless I report it myself (which, let's be real, I never do).

To the objective viewer, the post looks the same as any other post, but we don't know it's been NWD'd.

Thats because you're one of those people that thinks anyone with a different viewpoint is an obvious troll
