Some of you are perhaps wondering why the moderators aren't considering this to violate the rules. Read the OP of this thread again. Realize that Olds is being Olds & cleverly used a thread title similar to those that were locked last week. However, this thread, at least the OP, had substance to it. What Olds did here is quite a bit different than the nef fest last week that flooded the forum. Compare it to the following OP's which had similar thread titles that were locked a week ago:
$90.01... Is more than 9000 pennies
Priceless... Posting my life on ATOT
$13.37... The amount of money in my pocket
$1.99... Are you out of your mind? What year was it when the grand slam was so cheap?
1 2 3 5 8 13... I keep getting further and further away whilst going in a circular direction
$16.26... Filled up my tank
13.37¢ The economy is really screwing me up
281 330 8004... Who? (all the cool kids are doing it...)
8765309<sic>... Jenny
13.37... I am
$0.02... I'm giving mine to everyone.
0.9999999999999999999999999999999 . . . =$1discuss
$42 Gave it to a mod to smack a bitch up

Notice the difference. The above quotes were done for no reason other than to create more threads of the same type, all within minutes of each other. This current thread created by Olds isn't one of those types of threads. Although he did use a similar thread title. Or, perhaps he looked for a clever topic so that he could do this? I personally did not view this particular thread to violate:
5) Spamming will not be permitted... Multiple quick nef posts,... and flooding the Forums will not be tolerated.

That said, Olds has been around here for a long time. He knows the rules, knows when he's walking a fine line, and knows when he's crossed the line. He knew he crossed the line last time & accepted his vacation (and fwiw, served the full 7 days despite bsobel's offer to rescind the vacations 2 days early.) Not that this thread didn't raise a few of the moderator's eyebrows - it did. It probably falls under that "fine line" category. However, in evaluating which side of the line a thread is on, we will also consider the context (ex. are there a dozen other similar threads all made in the last 5 minutes), the poster's history, and try to take a guess at the poster's intent. My guess was that Olds wanted to make the post he did, but also wanted to yank our chains a little bit. We tolerate our chains being yanked a bit more from people we respect than from trolls.

But yet obvious what he was doing. load of bullshit

edit: obvious identical type post immediately after being banned. Of course he had to get a vacation with everybody else. Now he's just proving he's still above everybody else.

Steaming load of bullshit

Maybe you need to be banned for posting something you think will fly, but in turn, get banned for a week or two, buttercup.

No one's really crying here, it's all BS!


You can take that Matchbox Ambulance and shove it up your a**

and you can take your post inflating spaces and cram them up your a**

Olds is a mod buddy. this thread will most likely just die off without any retribution just proving the intention of the OP

Do you see the Elite Member title under his name? He's earned trust, he's proven himself already to the community. He can be given the benefit of the doubt. He is treated above typical forum members because he earned it. Whining about it is silly.

yeah. only Elite members get to make Mods look like fools and get away with it. a reguler member gets banned and banned hard.

so now we know that elites get away with stuff that anyone else would get banned for. good to know

Some of you people have an intelligence deficit and your panties in a bunch.
My post had content, was factual and started a discussion on OT and snow.
If you limited thread titles to those that people had been banned for previously, there would be only a few titles available to use. :roll:

What I do find interesting that I have been called out numerous times in this thread. What happened to no call outs?
Don't hate me because I am beautiful. :brokenheart:

"Whaaa...why does he get to play fast and loose with the rules and we don't?"

<snivel> "Why does Oldsmoboat get to post a thread that LOOKS like the neffing threads that got us vacationed, but actually isn't the same kind of worthless garbage we posted?"


At first, I thought that he was tempting the mod staff to send him on yet another vacation...but once the thread is actually read, it actually has some substance...unlike the massive $ threads of the other day.

kwitcherbitchin...no one has taken your lollipops away from you...

Ban him! Ban him!! BAAAN!!!!

WTF? Why do people come into threads begging for someone to be banned? Is it going to make your life any better if Olds is banned? He was fucking with the mods, so what? Its their call on what they do.

Seriously kiddies....walk away from your keyboard and go touch a real boob or something.

Yeah, like that Dave fellow. Even though that tard lost his elite status, it's a black eye for all elites.

I just want to know if anyone of the 10-15 folks that were given timeouts would have done the same, what would the reaction be. If any of the vacation giving people can honestly say they would have done the same, then there is no issue.
