the rebels will not tolerate the oppression of the oppressors anymore. We will not stand idle while certain individuals like falco and moongoddes from the opressors abuse their linear mode to confuse us and make our use of these forums less enjoyable by breaking the tree structure.

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!

No seriously, no more quoting for you linear guys. PREPARE FOR CONFUSION.

Ninja Edit:

When I say no more quoting for you linear guys, I mean we will no longer quote for you linear guys. Just to avoid confusion there.

I do agree that there's a good deal of confusion with the tree structure / linear mode stuff that really needs to be cleared up.

LogicBot · #12 01-16-2005, 11:36 PM

Your signatures scare me.

Projectshifter · #13 01-17-2005, 04:34 AM

WTF are you talking about... seriously?

Lance · #14 01-17-2005, 04:37 AM

I'm an oppressor?

Googi · #15 01-17-2005, 04:38 AM

Haha. What about that no talking about drugs or alcohol rule?

Nappa · #16 01-17-2005, 04:41 AM

The Linear moders are oppressing us! Atleast some. Are you on linear ? Because if you are, you wouldn't understand.

busyrobot · #19 01-17-2005, 05:19 AM

Why not just switch to linear view?
its so easy and clear, its perfect

But seriously, I try to reply to the person er, I am quoting, if my posts ever mess up the tree-viewish thing, let me know what I am doing wrong.

Nappa · #20 01-17-2005, 05:23 AM

Because this is alot easier + better + clearer.

Linear is not as clear and perfect as you think. It's much easier to respond to whats going on with hybrid

I use linear, and I can even understand that you don't like that rule. But is it really seriously oppressive? Is it really the most oppressive rule on the forums?

Nappa · #22 01-17-2005, 05:32 AM

No. But it is probably the only rule we could possible get changes, with the <insert negative word here> for supermods (excluding kamoo).

Kaimetsu · #23 01-17-2005, 05:39 AM

Linear dudes should abstain from breaking the structure where possible (I do!)
Non-linear dudes should quote the text to which they're replying.

Seems pretty obvious. But good luck if you expect more than a third of the supermod team to do anything about it.

Nappa · #24 01-17-2005, 05:50 AM

We are abstaining from quoting now, because this is A REVOLT!

GoZelda · #26 01-17-2005, 06:15 PM

You are one of the few people who use linear and don't break tree structures.

Lance, you can join our side, I'll remove you from the oppressor party zZz

Lance · #28 01-17-2005, 11:22 PM

So, this silly thread is supposed to work better than contacting the supermods?

Nappa · #29 01-18-2005, 12:24 AM

Yes :P

Darlene159 · #30 01-18-2005, 01:35 AM

Is there a reason as to why you could not have done this through forum pm's? I mean it is a legitimet request I suppose, but this thread is rediculous, and I really havent seen any mods complaining about the double/triple posting, I have only seen complaints about the not quoting...I am pretty sure that I always quote unless it is a general statement to everyone in the thread.

You can get your point across without being sarcastic, and biligerant =/

Nappa · #31 01-18-2005, 02:57 AM

No, we can't.

I sent a pm to spark questioning why he closed one thread WEEKS ago. Got my reply yet ?

Yeah, right.

Slash-P2P · #32 01-18-2005, 03:46 AM

Slash will join.

Didn't help. >_>

Evil_Trunks · #34 01-18-2005, 07:35 AM

Yes, they will prevail!

Your suggestion would have no effect.

I would also suggest that users be forced to pick a post they are replying to, instead of allowing them to (quick) reply without picking the post. I have seen other vBulletin forums use this.

Evil_Trunks · #35 01-18-2005, 07:37 AM

I would say that the only way they apply to this thread is:

They may not be used as a valid excuse for breaking the tree structure!

Why is that you are above 10, English is your first language but still can't spell?

The reason I didn't do this trough PM:
1] To let others state their opinions and thoughts on the matter
2] For a member of the rebels to object against it's participation
3] For a member of the oppressors to object against it's participation
4] So the rule would have a change of being added.

Second, you say that you haven't seen mods complaining about the double/triple posting. Almost none, or none of the mods use hybrid view so this annoying rule doesn't affect them. And, since when do the mods matter and do the actual users of the forums throw no weight on the scale?

1) My spelling has nothing to do with this thread.
2) It is really hard to take this thread seriously with all the sarcasm, and bull in it.
3)I meant that I dont think the mods have been warning people about double/triple posting because of the new changes to the board.

I happen to agree with the point you are making, but your sarcasm, and rudeness just makes me want to ignore you.
All you had to do is (if you insisted on making a thread) say what rule you thought needed to be changed and why, without all the bull...positive threads/posts go a long way.

I see no reason why the rules cant be modified to fit the different views as you pointed out, if Spark and Kamuii agree

I just found it awkward, and it confused me.

You understand this depends on your point of view and your opinions, right? Shouldn't a mod be objective more then subjective in such cases?

They (possibly you) did so in the case of Loriel.

What rudeness? You seem to take criticism very hardly, and I still believe it is your task to be objective.

You may find it bull...(aren't you evading the swear filter?), others may not. My points was made clear, that's all that matters.

I believe I got upset with Loriel because he was constantly posting without quoting who he was talking to, not because of double/triple posting, I was well aware that he was using the tree version.

No, since when is bull a curse word?

It is terribly obvious you ment to say bull****. If you didn't, your sentences also would make no sense.
