This is a great I had. It will be a group of people who go to topic where there is flaming/flamebaiting, and calm and neutrilize it with humour that does not relate to the topic.(usually.) Any volunteers?

Sure, why not. It's not like we would have any real authority though.
Celack
02-05-2004, 04:22
We would not have authority but we would have power. If we can derail these flames trains we have done our jobs. So go out there and be funny!
Berkylvania
02-05-2004, 04:23
But what if I flame funny?
Celack
02-05-2004, 04:23
No. we are here to stop flaming altogether. if you flame funny we'll be even funnier.
Berkylvania
02-05-2004, 04:24
Sigh. I guess I'll try to be good, then.
Celack

So berk you sign up?
Berkylvania
02-05-2004, 04:26
Yes, sign me up. If I catch it, I'll put it out with peals of laughter...or pee on it. Whatever works.

I think it's wonderful that you'd like to stop people from flaming each other. However, (yeah, you had to know there was a "however" coming) ahem, However, Nationstates has moderators for a reason. If you want to be a good fire department feel free to report real flames to moderation. The moderation staff will not put up with any one throwing threads off topic, even if it's in the name of "fun" or stopping "flames"

Ok! Now have fun.. but no self appointed moderators allowed :P

Actually no.. Celack has already been warned in another thread for doing this.. So, instead of having to issue any more warnings.. I thought I'd be nice and come and tell you all together that this is not allowed. If you feel me doing my job is a power trip so be it.

I think it rather funny and ironic that you're basically advocating flaming (albeit be funny and amusing) to stop the flaming. Hmmm...carry on...
