Is there a vast conspiracy by the Moderators of this site to perform surreptitious operations in order to undermine the normal functioning of this forum?

Well as I understand it, there's a missing forum out there somewhere.

Although I have a better conspiracy theory - I think Jolt has these smilies- :sniper: :gundge: :mp5: :upyours: and to a certain extent :headbang: - just to tempt proto-trolls and spammers into using them, thus making them easier to spot and remove.

This is obviously a Mod trick to lure dissenters into the open. Boycott it, my fellow revolutionaries. Our time will come!

they also took the :fluffle: smilie off the clickable list.


In answer to the first post, the mods you say are in a conspiracy of course not, our glorious, benevolent, flawless, perfect, competent, skilled, brilliant, fair, honest, honorable, incorruptible, righteous, true, upright and upstanding Moderators be involved in a conpiracy, what tripe.

Well I was mindlessly lurking, and thought 'hey, those smilies are fucking annoying. Who in their right mind would put them in a forum system, knowing that only annoying posters would use them?' Then it hit me, like a steel fryingpan to the head - conspiracy. It's kinda like how Hitler made the Jews wear yellow Stars of David, except this time a genocide of those labeled would be warranted.:p

This thread is part of the mod conspiracy. All those who say here that they think there is a mod conspiracy will mysteriously stop posting.

TG, however, is not in on the mod conspiracy, as he's the noob mod. When he finds out however he'll rebel, join us and there'll be a mod VS generalite war.

All the while Maxx will sit in his bunker with [violet] and laugh maniacally as we all do exactly what he knew we would.

That’s a good point. I’ve always been careful about the violent smilies I’ve allowed on my offsite region Invision forum (despite having a whopping 130ish emoticons). I try not to include smilies that will be used only to antagonize other members of the forum, no matter how cool they look.

I do have the head banging on brick and the sniper one, but people putting rows of snipers pointing at people’s names are rare or dealt with.

YES!

their Goal is to keep civility and order in an area full of Famebaiters, Trollers and topics that people do get passionate about.

how dare them!

Seriously, people. A moderator conspiracy? UTTER nonsense. I mean, what could the mods POSSIBLY be up to? Its nothing more than a forum. We bring up some crazy stuff here, and we have our fair share of racists and anarchists, but we're (mostly) just harmless .net addicts with nothing better to do with our tons of free time.

Well, we can't really say for sure. If there is then it must extend beyond this forum, because (unless they are trying to brainwash us, which I highly doubt) there isn't much that this forum can do for them. If there is a conspiracy, then the entire purpose of this forum would be to gain insight into different religions, peoples, and ideas.

As long as the problem is a conspiracy of others, the chances of a solution from ourselves diminish.

So I choose to live in world free of conspiracy. I can make a difference and change the world, as opposed to those who accept no responsibility for themselves because they perceive others to have the ability to control them.

Most people use conspiracy theories to justify their own violence, apathy and fears, not protest it in others anyway.















P.S. The Mods conspired to make me believe this.

Mod conspiracy?

This thread makes as much sense as '[violet] = Max Barry (II)'

There is no mod conspiracy.

There might be an admin one.

And as I said before ([violet]=Max Barry),

I AM NOT PART OF ONE!
Just noticed I posted in General. I hate that forum, but when I saw this in 'Latest Threads, I couldn't resist.

In the beggining there was Max, and the site. And the the site was with Max, and the site was Max, and it was good. And the Admins served Max, and basked in his radience, and glorified his name. And lo, the site was peopled with users from all over the world, but they did not always get along, and were sore afraid. So Max said unto the Admins: "Let us create beings in or own image, let us give them power and dominion. And we shall call them MODS."



... and that didn't work out as well. *runs away*
