hey mod, about that thread YOU started here...

[Mday]

http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=38&amp;threadid=194738 <<not linked>>

what if one of us wanted to wish someone a happy birthday? or a congradulations (on graduation, being a new parent, grandparent)

or the entire forum a happy holidays?

I am hoping those things can be exceptions...
to the &quot;drawing attention to another member, in any way whatsoever&quot;

Agreed, maybe further clarification is necessary. Starting a topic where the intent is clearly to malign or personally insult another member will not be tolerated. The types of posts you have in mind are perfectly fine.

<edit> Thanks for the spell check, RSI. And yes, Wombat Woman, we got the L out. </edit>

Use your head, Mday. Obviously the mod was referring to negative attentions.

 

[drboogie]

And isn't just posting a thread or in a thread a way of drawing attention to yourself?

Suddenly everyone's a philosopher.

WW, I am using my head. I am a NYC public school educated person. And I love making stupid posts. of course I know enough that what I stated are fine.

it's really the difference between the letter and the spirit of the law. with respect to the letter, even this actual thread is in violation of the statements made previously.

AND drboogie, it says &quot;another member&quot; so what you said does not technically apply.

<<geez this reply sounds hostile...>>

 

[Duckers]

moderator, I think you shouldn't have locked that thread. I bet a lot of people never saw it.

 

[drboogie]

MDay - details, details ...

 

[Prodigy^]

lol Mday come on, this is a nice way of making a mod speak, but as WW says, use your brain

Wow, you've blown it now. The grammar police are headed for NYC as we speak, Mday!

I do believe it should be tolerated, not tollerated

My God, everyone's itching for a nuking as of late.

RSI, are you saying that the Mod should GET THE L OUT?

 

[Preyhunter]

WW,

I must say that I am thoroughly impressed. I had no idea that you had such wit. I give credit where credit is due.

 

[Prodigy^]

I noticed the spelling error too but was afraid of posting it as it might have seemed to stupid

oh well

 

[WombatWoman]

I give credit where credit is due.
Thanx. Please send money.

 

[Killbat]

*unsure as to whether Prodigy is making a joke or really did use the wrong &quot;too&quot;*

 

[Preyhunter]

WW,

Sorry, that would be one of those uncollectable accounts.

Killbat,

<edit>Didn't see the second &quot;to&quot; in Prodigy's sentence. The punctuation (or lack thereof) must have thrown me off. Disregard please.

 

[Mday]

maybe it's time to lock this thread...

 

[Prodigy^]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh...........what?!?!?!?

I really don't understand you??!?! I didn't make any sort of joke, I just said I saw the spelling error (in the mod's post) as well/too, but didn't wanna make a post about it......

eehh????

 

[compuwiz1]

Hehehe! Now it's all uncovered....the mods can't be bots. They make such human errors.

 

[Double Trouble]

Don't be fooled Compuwiz, they are no more human than that clever bot &quot;Russ&quot; They are just programmed to include some human errors to increase the 'realism' factor. Good programming on that &quot;WombatWoman&quot; bot

 

[Prodigy^]

lmao tagej

 

[ratkil]

<<And isn't just posting a thread or in a thread a way of drawing attention to yourself? >> Not at all, Drboogie, quite often my posts draw no attention whatsoever.......I like to think of my self as the opposite of an elite member.... :Q
