How about we enforce people RPing as their clbum, rather than everyone RPing as Trolls. Would that work?

So I would only be able to post other people’s IPs, and otherwise have to settle for screwing around with the site and other people’s posts? I mean, as discussed elsewhere, the FWZ “hacker” is more of a script kiddie, and a script kiddie is just a troll with a few tools. All the characters in FWZ have a primary goal of disrupting and destroying forums. Posting “in character” just amounts to different styles of trolling.

Moving beyond the “post like your attacks say you would”... Let’s be honest. In the wild, Camwhores get mocked by trolls, and also by hackers, and also by emo kids, and even by other camwhores. It is not “out of character”. Anyone might post an offtopic post in a thread – and on most other forums, they won’t get banned for it – at most, the offtopic comments might get deleted.

I can understand that people would be sensitive to comments about their own actual pictures. All the same, anyone posting pics in front of this community thinking that they will get only love and puppies is p crazy. As far as “disrupting a good thread” goes… well, that’s both subjective and kinda hypocritical when spamming and trolling and off-topic posts are allowed in RP threads that don’t involve player nudity. In non-RP forums, the trolling, etc, is outlawed. In RP, it seems to be encouraged except in arbitrarily determined cirgreat timesstances. So, yeah, people are unhappy.

The real problem on these forums is that people seem to feel the need to push the damn boundaries constantly, then **** when they get punished for it, requiring others to demand clearcut rules for subjective judgment calls… and they blur the line between RPing the worst of internet behaviour, and typifying it. Pretty much every damn debate I’ve seen on moderation has revolved on that same point. I don’t envy you guys one ****ing bit.

TL;DR: The mods suck, and the players suck. Everyone sucks, including me.
