Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Except that some people would fight against the moderators just on principle and we would have a whole war consuming the forums.

Like WW1, but even easier to forget.

It’s okay Taeshi, I don’t blame you I don’t trust anyone on here either.

Oh god the consequences that follow a few members being appointed are flying through my head right now.

Some of these things terrify me.

I trust people on here but even a little power over someone else turns people into dicks.

Um.. this might be somewhat related. If you’re going to change the policy on bad topics, mind throwing the commentS in their own section? They tend to flood or obscure topics.

Just a though.

*thought.

You can already filter those out with the button on the top left, if you want. But I do understand where you’re coming from and I brought it up before once. Suitcase’s reasoning at the time, to which I suppose I concur, is that the comments section of each page deserves a place as part of the forum. Maybe not exactly the way he put it, but something to that effect.

Hmmm makes sense I suppose.

@jerk about mods: when i get power, i just get really…. fair… to a fault… it scares me sometimes…

@jerk about that button on the left: is that what that does?

Are the “help me with real life” threads also stupid? Or do I keep it for the random chats lol.
ps: hi souppy remember me?

How does one get “fair…to a fault?” I don’t mean it’ll fuck up everyone, only that it’s a free radical in a lot of situations and it brings out sides of people I’d rather not see. Suitcase, though mortally allergic to compliments, is a good guy.

On the off-chance you’re not being (understandably) sarcastic, Arby, the “Show Only Topics” button is on the forum index.

@jerk: naw man, ask anyone i know. if i get power, i get fair-er. id be a great judge

also, no i wasnt being sarcastic, i actually had no idea what the button did… never gave it any thought…

I thoroughly approve of that little clarification. The frequency of OTIMs, as I suggest calling them, is starting to annoy.

Well, I’m glad I don’t post topics, I worry about coming off sounding stupid in the first place, haha.
But I reckon we need someone who’ll keep the useless nonsense topics limited to Random Chat or something.

if you dont want me to talk on here at all just say so.

…. i suppose you’d just say it anyway for a joke like everyone else does

i cant vent to you people, i cant pull my sadistic humour and no one cares what i think.

plus im treading a fine line here. pretty much everyone here doesnt like me, which doesnt do wonders for confidence cuz now i spend hours lying awake at night wondering when Taeshi or Suitcase will snap and i wont be able to read BCB anymore.

Pleeeaaase dont do that. Sorry about starting as an overzealous fanboy, sorry about becoming a sadistic victimising weirdo guy, ile just remain distant like in reality.

and yes, i wallow in self pity. its a warm feeling. im not trying to be negative, im not trying to make a sob story, im not victimising myself, im not trying to threaten anyone and im not some emo child either. far from it. but i cant talk to people. cuz i just get WAMBULANCE in my face.

here it comes…

You know what else is a warm feeling?

muh dick.

no, but seriously, i forgive you chaz~

If only you weren’t so hard on yourself, honey.

@chaz: only because you asked for it: WAMBULANCE to the face!

also, stop being such a downer man. we cant help you unless you help us first.

im a downer anyway. being happy all the time wasnt in my life description.

plus its difficult to be happy when old wounds open

But if you keep up your self-deprecation, that only makes it worse, sweetie. ^_^

Thank God …

Thank you.

That’s a good question… How does one get banned from BCB forums?
We don’t have to sign in anywhere anyways.

You ban his IP?

He did post strangely. Maybe he didn’t know English right? Oh, forget it, you don’t need to know english to spell Lucy instead of Lusy…

Too bad, anyways.

< OTIM >
Lyucs is complaining that other people can’t spell Lucy. I am speechless
< /OTIM >
I’m really impressed with the quality of this forum, whether or not its moderated! Honestly, I haven’t seen a flame yet BCB seems to have a really active community, and it’s really cool to interact with the Author. I’m just curious, how is there so little spam?

Another notch on your virtual barrel, Suitcase

… I didn’t understand… Did Quaddy make fun of me?
I guess it has something to do with the tags OTIM, but I googled it and couldn’t find real meaning.

I didn’t really complain, I just stated a fact…

Someone, tell me if I should act offended!

So magical box of dirt got banned… eh, he was never nice to me anyway.

But as Lyucs asked, did you ban his IP, or his DNS, ect?

I’m merely asking because I know how easy it is to get passed an IP ban, and I don’t want to see people who got banned for a reason figuring it out.
If i remember correctly,
/ip release
/ip renew

Smart :S

that would be sweet if you got your Evasion-Detection-System badge though, suit. not many ppl can say they’ve accomplished that.

So wait, in essence aren’t Suitcase and Taeshi the mods? Technically, I mean.
Thats the kind of vibe I’ve always had.

At least I didn’t miss Part One of the Delicious Degenerate Dirt Drama.

I… still wanna know what Quaddy meant back there…

Thanks for answering, Mr SuitCase.

Oh, sorry
OTIM was an acronym for “off topic Ignore me” earlier in this thread, not a widespread acronym. Lyucs, I guess I’ve always assumed your username was an intentional misspelling of Lucy.. or something. Anyway, I guess you can choose if you want to act offended, but I’d rather we be friends .
In retrospect, using something Suitcase just said was grounds for an insta-ban was probably unwise.

Lindsay- they are the all powerful admins, not mere moderators. Nevertheless, in a forum this size they basically act like moderators, banning problematic accounts and stuff.

Wolf- SHH! don’t say that out loud! They might hear youuuuu

Argh, I think I have to make a topic to get my name right for people xD

Lyucs, just a stupid anagram for Lucas (my real name), less ‘a’, plus ‘y’.

People tend to read it as Lucys. Or Lycus. >_<

‘tis ok, I was just joking, not gonna be mad for something like that. I actually thought you made that mistake =P

Well, let’s not chat here. Mr SuitCase might get angry.
(Thx for the OTIM, always good to learn something new)

While I seriously doubt it was done for my sake, I must thank you for the removal of Dirt, Suitcase. I appreciate it.

Heh, no webcomic is complete without a jab at Mistah Buckley.

Dirt’s back in the RC and abusing the ability to switch names around. Again. Maybe it’s time for a registry system? No? Okay. Just throwing that out there.

this could be good information went i first came here…

What Jerk said is very important. Me thinks.

^
Yes and no, yes because he is a pain, but no because of the possible amount of time and troubleshooting to keep him out. If you don’t like him, simply ignore him.

He must be using multiple proxies, for he has been banned several times.

Dirt, you defined shitposting.

i trust in there jugment

No, RC is for playful banter and mindless innuendo. Dirt turned it into a massive, reeking pile of spam.
