If you want to go back to that it's only fair to go back to the roots of the religion itself, which is just a really bad idea in general if we don't want to start a flame war.

I'm afraid that would be irrelevant as well. The point, as repeatedly stated, was to show that Social Darwinism was completely irrelevant to the development of personal economic freedom, and I don't think anyone is disputing that here.

I didn't suggest it was, at any point. o.O

oops.

Well, I guess we're out of stories for being reported or banned or muted.

Ah, that's not true. I got obliterated by an admin on what was supposed to be a free-range, kill or be killed game for killing someone who had killed one of my characters for no reason. It was on ToMEnet back before pk'ing was illegal. He wanted to pick on someone he thought was powerless, so he repeatedly nuked my level ~10. I then pulled out my ~35 and wiped the ASCII floor with his ass.

Guess who was seen by a latecoming admin and killed by "Divine Wrath"?
Me, killed by an admin on a free to pk game for avenging myself on a troll. Not only that, but he did it when I logged onto our party leader and that meant the loss of the whole group's savings and equipment. Mind you, I was later apologized to and given a free boost to a similar level. However power in ToMEnet comes from equipment, not levels. Especially back then before all of the nifty new level-based abilities. Considering that it can take 10-20 hours of gameplay to establish something like that, and that it's totally irretrievable, that is probably the worst thing that has ever happened to me in a game. I quit playing my then-favorite game for over a year straight.

Please don't clutter the thread with concepts such as "Communism and Socialism are not real because they don't work". It's silly, doesn't make sense, and shows a blatant ignorance of precedent.

Meh, just try mentioning the words "plasma" and "electricity" on any mainstream astronomy website/forum, you'll get banned and have your posts removed before you can say "the peer review process is broken". Most game forums are lightly moderated in comparison.

I'm curious as to the juicy details of these happenings.

They're rather shocking topics :P

I've been muted a couple of times on the forums for a uni social club. Once was for telling a girl at the centre of a flamewar to shut the hell up, the other was about 2 months ago, after I had been an ordinary committee member, secretary, and subsequently president of this club, and had now left entirely to do other things. This was because in the introductions thread we have for first years, I mentioned I was the real power behind the club, and reverted a mod-edit of that post. The president didn't like me much :P

Huh? Theres plenty of plasma in space, like stars and all that, so I don't get it.

Anyways, regarding misusing the report to moderator, the only time I've misused it (it wasn't so much a misuse than out of frustration) was right after the initial attempt to fix the forums and the links on the top weren't working right. I had made a bug report on the bug section but out of sheer frustration, I went and used the report to mod function to get attention to it, I did say sorry for misusing it like that and wouldn't do that again. I guess my frustration was apparent since nobody said anything about it.

I often use a bit of humor when reporting spambots, but nothing wrong there.

To be fair, this is kind of like George Bush stealing Barack Obama's speech notes because "As the former President, I have the real power behind the country".

Same here!

I dont really report anything other then spambots. I usually think of it as kind of a rude thing to do.

I've received a final warning before.  Then I was good for a couple months, then it all went away.  Then I got in trouble again.  But threetoe is so much more chill nowadays.
