[God]

*somewhat late* The use of the word "idiotic" in the announcement wasn't called for, in my opinion. True but uncalled for. The announcement is otherwise valid.

So far as favortism, I can assure you that I don't like any of you.

Nah, I like everyone. (Mostly.)

The rest of this thread is dumb, but carry on if you must.

I'd say it probably has more than a little to do with the way you came in and sanctimoniously called Rei's death a sham and her a liar.

We don't like seeing spam in illegal threads because it promotes spam on the board, but like you said in red, that isn't the issue here. What is the issue is that we constnatly reference this when closing said threads, and I know I've seen at least one other announcement about it, but it doesn't seem to work.

I think that, much like the war on drugs, the war on spam in illegal threads is a war that cannot be won. Let's face it: Even if you manage to get some people to stop spamming in illegal threads, there will always be new people who will come in to fill the void, and these people will spam, and staff will be displeased. But really, I don't see why it's such a big deal as to merit an announcement. Do you see people threatening to leave over spam in illegal threads? Do you see people claiming that EoFF has become a worse post because of spam in illegal threads? If you do, these people are well out of touch with reality, because it's been a constant at this board for the three years I've been here.

Which is exactly why Baloki is posting in this thread at your defence. I expect the rest of the horde to show up here pretty soon. Why? Because people who act like that look up to you, and to Rye too, and others who weren't named of course. Because you're like the mascot for spamming, people will say "Well if Psy can't do that, I certainly can't."

edit: Whoops, took too long to type that out, Leeza already said what I meant too. Carry on.

[God]

I changed my mind, closed. Keep your personal arguments off the board.

[Leeza]

Aaron, I think that you should quit while you feel that you're ahead.

And now thanks to your thread, it will definitely be remembered by all for a long time to come.

But also seeing someone's posts being called idiotic by another member who the majority of the members here seem to look up to could cause people thinking that's acceptable behaviour. OK, he apologised and I'm not too bothered because of that, but it could provoke people thinking that kind of attitude is endorsed by the staff.

I'm glad to see that you're happy with the attention that you have received.

Not quite. If I wanted attention I'd go on a spamming rampage calling Matt a moron and how I was going to leave EoFF forever unless he was banned and how I deserve to be made a Cid's Knight and so on. I'm happy that I've made others happy, as everyone appears to be enjoying themselves here.

Just as a postscript, for reference: 4 has edited the idiotic remark out of the announcement and added an apology.

Also, if you want to be taken seriously in the Feedback Forum, please do not use sarcasm to get your point across. To ask professionalism out of us you can start by showing it yourself. This not pointed at anyone in particular.

Have a nice day everyone.

Hey! stfu!
