    I think we hit a new low. On the 11th of May (06/11/2007 US dating system) I asked a troll in a thread "Why do u feel the need to go into forums, when the forumers are waiting for a new season, and ask them how they like the season so far?" and today I got a PM telling me that I have been trolling so II checked the details and it was the above post and I was "posting solely to annoy". I think it is safe to say the mods don't read what they send warnings for.

    Did the troll you were "trolling" also get a TOS violation?
    ...if they didn't, that would suck even MORE...

    I remember an old motivational picture I used during the Riots, though it might've been deleted or somewhere deep in the threads but it had "Toni Braxton's Brother" from American Idol and below I put hpfreakfan, a voice nobody wants to hear.

    (Thinks he's getting offtopic)

    Oh man, the forums was crazy during the whole Season 3 wait. Also I remember the day BR was leaking. Boy we was waiting and waitin and got so mad when rapidshare used audio.

    I had a beautiful rant prepared for this spot, but then I realized it might be considered trolling and so I decided not to post it.

    'Nuff said.

    What they should do is that you won't be able to report unless the offended in the message decides to report him.

    Yeah, till I so-called hijacked it, and then got into another argument with him. Then everyone else decided to just be off-topic till it was locked. Later on he said he was being sarcastic.

    I despise the mods and their blanket censorship policies. The moderations they are making now are not helping anyone, they aren't making this a better place. They're trying to shut up anyone who speaks their mind and expresses themselves when the smallest complaint comes through. Bah.

    The world isn't a utopia where idiots don't exist and can't incite anger, where insults and biting sarcasm and negative comments don't exist, why should this forum be different? Why should I have to curb my tongue because I'm afraid some whiny snot will report me because he can't deal with it? I shouldn't, and I won't. And neither should any of you.

    Look at us. Cowering in fear from the repercussions of speaking. If anyone told me I couldn't speak in real life, I'd flatten them out. Don't let it be different here.

    Thats why its best to report the message and then ignore it. Let the mods deal with trolls.

    After reading "most" of this forum, I feel bad for everyone! I'm a lurker, posting only when I see fit. But with the rules tightened to protect the "innocent", why lurk? Why use TV.com to satiate my Avatar needs?

    I haven't made many, if any, new friends via this portal of insanity! Why am I here? I hadn't even considered correcting someone else's spelling. Why would I? It's a reflection of who the person is!! Who decided to call it "trolling", anyway?

    I just don't know anymore... With Nick holding on to Avatar as they are, I'm waiting like the rest of you.

    *huff* I'm goin' offline. I hear the weather is nice and there are birds singing! Maybe I'll even take a swim!

    I completely agree. The only thing I got a chuckle out of these "new" rules is the fact that you can get banned for putting up those stupid 'in before the lock' graphics...cause let's face it people, those are down right freakin annoying now. How many threads that were good threads have been hit with that graphic or phrase, and it's almost always used in a condescending, little kid poking at you, you don't understand the rules kind of way.

    But yes, these forums are the most nazi forums I've ever been on, and as soon as avatar is over (movie included) I will probably stop posting on this damnable forum. Getting a ban here is almost becoming a mark of honor.

    Zukofangirl's description of the good ol' days really moved me. I joined during the 10 months of darkness, apparently when the forum went downhill. It was awesome when I first joined, now it's all about complaining about Nick and getting annoyed with n00bs who ask when the next episode is coming out.

    Just today I saw a thread that had to be at least a month old be necroed by a person asking for a link to a place to watch 316-321 online. I mean seriously, I can't complain about that because it'll hurt his feelings, and then I'll get modded for trolling, when really the n00b is the troll.

    I completely agree with confucioussayshi, this is censorship of expression, I believe I'm not mistaken in saying your American first amendment gives you the right to express your opinion. If we didn't have that law where would we be? George Orwell's 1984? Because that's what it feels like here. Seriously, BANNING SARCASM? That's ridiclous! Banning people from correcting spelling/grammar? COME ON! I wouldn't have to correct spelling if people just took the extra 0.0002 seconds to actually spell the word correctly. People can't go through life without basic knowledge of spelling and grammar, why should they be let off the hook here? And why is it bad if I politely correct their mistakes so they can learn for next time?

    These are dark times. As if we weren't getting enough grief from Nick and their retarded decisions on Avatar, we're getting the equivalent of a kick to the groin from our own mods, people who are there to make this place better, and not 1984.

    /rant.

    Someone quote this so it gets saved after the mods delete it.
