General Exalted Thread

[Tekomandor]

I mean, I'd be fine if he were beaten by a mob of angry Exalted fans. But not getting paid is just beyond the pale. Or it would be if he hadn't managed to make even this poetic.

this is not acceptable conduct This is a violation of rule two. Please do not wish harm in such a manner on real people in the future. @notanautomaton has been issued a 25 point infraction.

In addition, @Touch of Sepia has been issued with a 50 point infraction and a two week threadban for uncivil and disruptive behaviour.

Gas lighting, I did not change anything about your quote. If you went back and edited it, that's your own business.

oh really I can see post edit history, as it happens. You redacted the space between two rhetorically segregated things to make a narrative that did not exist. This is a blatant lie.

You are dancing on the edge of acceptability with your behavior in this thread, and just generally acting scummy. Let me lay out what's gonna happen now. Have a WFMB for egregious misrepresentation and being a tit to other users, and you're to clean up your act starting now. If you don't shape up, then you are leaving this thread propelled by infraction points.

this is the part where many people are unhappy Right. Let's get to it.

Thread re-opened. New policy though. You will be polite to one another. You will maintain a veneer of civility at the very least. I do not care if you're right about some obscure trivia, I don't care about your feelings with regards to one another. The rules still apply in this thread.

If you are not civil to each other you will be infracted and threadbanned. Enough petty squabbling. Sort out your houses, or else.

@Touch of Sepia, take 25 points in a violation of rules 3 and 4 for these posts here. And here, and here. This is for precipitating a thread-derail. Do not take other people's posts out of context like that in the future. Do not alter other people's quote-boxes creatively like that in the future and lie about it. Do not lie and accuse other posters of gaslighting in the future. Hint: We can see post histories and how posts've been edited.

Only warning. Please don't do it again.

@Revlid has taken 25 points in a violation of rule four for this post here.

@changeling, take a warning for marginal behavior for this post here. We do not like dogpiling.

@Estro I sincerely sincerely hope that this funny rating over here was a misclick for your own sake. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here. Only warning, please don't abuse the ratings system.

And everyone else who participated in this thread derail: Next time? Report, don't retort. Button's there for a reason. You know who you are.

Alright I'm done here. Thread unlocked. You all have fun now.

That's all folks. Back to business.

stop You have a history of contentless sniping in this thread, @Deations, and you seem not to have learnt your lesson. Fifty points and a two week thread ban, and a permanent one if you misbehave in this thread again.

 

[Swordomatic]

warning
@HoratioVonBecker, it's becoming increasingly clear that you have zero interest in actually discussing Exalted, but rather your own setting, and you have refused to engage with anyone else in this thread, instead just making justifications and explanations and then moving on or just plain ignoring them when anyone refutes them. You are becoming disruptive. You are debating in bad faith.

You go. Now.

Come back in a week when you can actually take a hint.

official staff communication Reduced to warning and cleared of bad faith on appeal.

 

[Swordomatic]

warning Get back on topic.

ixnay on the iracypay Hello there! It's time to talk about piracy advocacy! Please take a moment to read it over. *ahem*

"Don't do it. Srsly."

And that ends my talk. Hopefully there will be no confusion over this message, and we won't have to come back and make the part of the forum software where we assign points spin like a top. Because if you start advocating pirating copyrighted source materials again, that is what will have to happen.

 

[Cavalier]

alert @beowolf, the Community Compact does indeed prohibit copyright infringement or posting links to sites which engage in copyright infringement. We take notice that you removed the offending link when notified that it would result in an infraction, which is the kind of self-policing I can endorse. Nevertheless, let me make clear to everyone here that the administration considers copyright infringement to be a serious violation; we do not want to see it in this thread or anywhere else, from yourself or any other poster.

 

[Skyllian Blitz]

Also, @Jon Chung, you might want to put Horatio and vicky on ignore and chill out for a while. You guys are going in circles and it just seems to be aggravating to everyone involved.

appeals for calm are all very well and good But it's the Staff's experience that telling people to ignore each other, particularly through the Ignore function, tends to exacerbate matters than resolve them.

We do appreciate the sentiment behind it, though. So we're asking users to remember that if things are getting worked up, to step away for a bit to breathe then to come back fresh without any hangups. Sometimes getting caught in the moment means you get angry when you shouldn't, y'know.

stop Enough.

I recognize that for whatever reason this thread apparently regularly provokes catfights about impenetrably dense obscure trivia and general argle-blargling, but this particular one stops here.

The thread will be locked to prevent any further piling on for likefarming purposes while we sort out the righteous from the wicked and mete out unto each what they deserve.
