The case book is also there for the admins, and I've asked Tony to edit there also with his views.

Good work.

I've enjoyed the passionate discussion about this issue. This is what makes these forums (generally) worth a look.

And I trust that this particular issue could be cleared up with a simple apology.

I crack one harmless joke - the post was pulled.

I thought I had not sent it - thread pulled, threatened with a ban.

Geesh!

No more jokes.....🙁

This is not a joke:

Last post - Bye....it was fun.

I thought the joke was pretty funny.

You'll be missed GP.

The fact that the post was removed is not the problem. It wasn't clear that greenpawn was joking when he claimed the green light meant a user was cheating. If I would have seen it, I might have posted after and clarified, stating the post was a joke. I thought his post was funny, and probably didn't need to be removed. It could go either way.

The real p ...[text shortened]... and completely rude. He cracked a harmless joke, and was treated pretty poorly in my opinion.

Well said Tony.

I think all of us are greatful for Mods like you.

Agreed. Hopefully this can be sorted out soon.

OK, this is starting to become a habit with us agreeing, STOP!!! 😛

I haven't laughed this hard in a very long time! That's pure genius. Perhaps it's all the hoopla over the statement that I knew nothing about, but I busted out laughing after reading this.

What's really funny though, is that he thinks he's funny.

No, what is really funny, is that sometimes he is really funny, and doesn't know that he is being really funny. 😉

palynka's reaction is perfectly valid - it was a joke.

He is entitled to his opinion and he did not waver.

What would have happened if a new user with incestuous descendants
who live in trailer park had happened along? 😲

A wee green light comes on

How can you tell if someone is cheating?
A wee green light comes on?
(Meaning the green dot showing the other player is active)

THAT got moderated? Because it was teh accusation of everyone being a cheetar across the board?


Stupit.
