Ghostbusters (2016)

Gotta agree with this. Dicky has mocked and flamed consistently.

He's not being warned because the dominant personality among the mods, Gul, supports him.

After the low level flaming and the homophobic shit, forgive me if I don't believe you.

As far as I could tell, Dicky was flaming a reviewer who doesn't post on Wordforge. Or did I make a mistake, Federal Farmer is the reviewer?

Afraid not. If you look at his posts that caused reactions, they aren't targeted at anybody specifically. Who is he flaming? Nobody. Who is he trolling? Only people who don't like his point of view. If we declare an unpopular view to be a form of trolling, we really might just as well close down Media Central.

And by the way, shooter pulled the trigger on that warning before I even saw the post.

So directly quoting our posts and replacing them with mockery by way of language and smileys, isn't targeted trolling?

What a load of nonsense.

Yes, this.

Decently sure both of you have posrepped me on numerous occasions for goofing on people's posts that you don't like.
Interesting.

If I repped that kind of behaviour when outside the Red Room and unprovoked, I was dead wrong, and shame on me.

I warned FF for flaming, not trolling.

Warning for the latter in this thread would be like issuing speeding tickets at the Indy 500.

You're all fighting with each other because something Ghostbustery leaking out of the sewers, you morons.

Perhaps. I think this is mostly another good case in favour of steering with friendly warnings earlier rather than later in the future.

Okay, so the unwritten rules are as follows...

1. Use smileys to zing a bigot (Dayton) good and/or funny.
2. Use smileys to zing a bigot (FF)...bad.

Man, this is confusing.
Does this game require 12 sided dice?

It's the pink slime.

I would generally agree but FF was pretty frothy and I didn't think a friendly would calm him down.

Are we mods? Do we make the rules?

You never even tried.

I think you're thinking of your material starting at post 730 there, Vigo.

Which is why I said "earlier". If a thread is overrun with trolling, it's too late to start the warnings whenever you recognise the first flame. To my mind, @Diacanu was flaming for pages, and much worse than a simple FU; but the best strategy is not to settle whether I am right, but to not let things get quite so murky.

Man, just a thread about this movie has made besties out of FF and Packard.
Maybe it is a sign of the apocalypse!

It just shows how defensive you get when someone dares to criticize this movie. Instead of actually debating, you turn to mockery and insult.

No. It's a sign you might have acted like a bit of a douche over this film.

From the guy that brought "Paul fag", into the discussion.

If it were a good movie, it would make more sense.

Last time I checked, no one's ever been allowed to call people faggots in MC going back to Cassandra's ownership of the board.

Unless the usual suspects want me to warn every borderline inflammatory comment that will come outta the Star Trek thread when the movie opens this weekend when Dayton starts in with his unpopular opinions

That's not what's being argued.

Yes, what's being argued for is special rules to punish me, and if they don't get it, they'll say there's special rules to protect me.

So you're saying consistent, methodical insulting of other members page after page is within the current rules?

FYI, if y'all wantt to continue this, feel free to start a HD thread or bump one of the others there.

Thank you.
