Almost textbook trolling by Unogal, there.

It seems to me that this would be more spam than trolling. In any case, I really don't see anything wrong with this one just from scanning it over, but the Mods can sort it out. Then I'll see what needs to be said.

I don't see what the problem is. A guy pretending to be a Scientologist? So? :confused:

Someone asks for Scientologists, he lies about being one to get them to engage him in discourse, and then reveals that he isn't one in a "haha, I fooled j00!" moment. Is that not textbook trolling - arguing something just to get a rise out of people/have them respond frivolously?

You are obviously not a mod, and you have so far had nothing of weight to add at all in this forum, ever, so I would appreciate it if you in the future did not spam like this in the moderation reports I make. Thank you.

I see. I have posted in the thread.

Tweedlesburg, you are drifting perilously close to Moderator impersonation. Nothing "needs to be said" by you in this forum. If I see another post by you implying that your opinion here is of any consequence, I will have your nation deleted.

I honestly have no intention to break or even bend any rules. I simply feel that I have a duty to comment when I feel something is wrong, just as I'm sure you would put in your two cents if you felt that a wrong was being done.
If you have a better suggestion of where or how I could better express myself in such a manner, I would gladly consider it. My apologies for any negative feelings or annoyance that I have caused. I hope to learn to handle things in a way more suitable to you and the rest of the Moderation team in the future.

I would start by not coming into the moderation forum unless you have something you yourself wish to report. Your posts here have been either to dismiss complaints as unimportant or invalid or to complain of overmoderation.

Unless you have something to report yourself, or have some proof you'd like to add to an existing report, kindly don't comment.

I'll try to keep that in mind. Thank you.

Uh, not to change the subject, but does this mean that we are to expect a change in this rule concerning the moderation thread or does this apply only to this individual who may no longer state his opinion in Moderation?

"If you believe that a post/thread can be considered breaking the rules of this forum, you can post a thread here, with a link to the specific post(s) (if its all in one or more posts) or to the thread (if the actual thread is the rule-breaking) and ask a moderator to look over it. At that point, it's ok for players to state their opinions on if it is breaking the rules or not, but debating the topic is not allowed in Moderation, and a non-moderator's response is in no way an official ruling"

The rules have not changed. The above is specific to a particular poster's posting pattern.

Nice alliteration.
