Thank you Follow

Doesn't this also prove that there has been a shift in the posting habits of the OoT? The admins aren't the only people that have changed.

That was my thought. The fact that incidents garnering complaints have become more frequent does not indicate a shift in administration. The shift in administration is a direct result of the shift in posting styles. Simple cause and effect.

Is it can be story tiem nao pls?

So, what's the solution? Ugly brought up a great point, and I don't feel it was addressed. "Take any Asylum-esque posts to the Asylum." Well, ok. If I wanted to create a thread that was raunchy, I can do that in the Asylum. No problem.

But that's not how it works. 9 times out of 10, threads are created and they degenerate into something Asylum-esque. So, if someone posts something exceptionally moronic and I want to call them on it, I need to make an "ICO" thread in the Asylum that the person it's directed at won't see?

Or is it, as someone else said, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all?" I don't, personally, feel as though I have crossed any lines, but then again I look back at the Kechup debacle and wonder, if that had happened last week, would I be muted now? Would I get threatened with a ban? Sometimes, I get pissy. So I take that out on here. For one week a month, I need to make sure I only post in the Asylum?

And, like Mindel said, the tone there is completely different. I enjoy reading their discussions, but I don't participate all that often because I don't have much to say on those topics, and I don't know them as well. Or, if we all migrate over there and the =4 regulars don't like us and call us all names, do we all need to just complain to an admin so that we can cycle this issue into an =4 issue?

GUISE I HAVE A SOLUTATION.

Let's give everybody their own forum and see which one becomes the most popular.

Therein lies the joke, dear.

I honestly don't have a solution, I just wanted to try and steer a good deal of the OoT away from some nebulous unnameable punishment that may be hovering over them. The way things have been going recently, that situation is seemingly boiling to a head. I'm trying to divert it.

I, personally, think the OoT could use a little bit of the "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all?" mentality. Recently, it's started to get out of hand. I'll blame BT, because he would want it that way, but that's not really the case. You can't really pinpoint the turn, but, this place really is becoming Asylum V2.

I appreciate your trying to keep us from punishment. I wasn't necessarily asking you, personally, what the solution is. Just if any admin has a plan besides, "Play nice, or else."

I thought Belkira was being a b***h to Nix, until this last post and saw he put Crusty in himself.

Crusty is an old sailor.

Or is that too far?

I'm sorry. Does you forgives?

So if we move to =4, does that mean we get to enjoy the Asylum favoritism I heared tell so much abouts?
