Good EVENING.
NOW that I have your attention, it's time for a pleasant evening chat.
That is, I chat at you and you don't argue. For once, I don't want to hear about it in PM either.
No, don't ask questions after this post. No, there will be no painless clarification. You get it or you suffer, is the drill.
So let's make a few things clear here:
-1. You guys get more of our attention because you are a bigger pain. We get more complaints, more trouble and more issues from here than every other section and thread combined. Yes, you're prolific and yes those numbers add up and yes, we could solve it by locking the thread again. Trying not to do that.
-2. This is a Triss thread. Not a Triss Positives Only thread. Someone can come in here - is WELCOME - to come in here, in fact, and say they don't like how Triss looks, how Triss acts or how Triss sounds. Shocking, I know. Suck it up. IT AIN'T YOUR THREAD BUCKO.
Now, are they trolling you? If they don't defend their position, maybe. If they are repeating themselves, maybe. If they are brand new and that's all they have to say, probably. And that leads us to the next point.
-3. Reports. Reports are good. Generally.
DO NOT ATTACK SOMEONE for their opinion. Deal with their opinion, don't go after them. If you -see- this attack happening, report it. Absolutely.
WAIT.
KEEP READING:
DO NOT report someone for being offensive to Triss. SHE'S NOT REAL. SHE HAS NO RIGHTS. I don't care how emotionally attached you are to your pretend girlfriend! Do not waste my time because someone said things about here you don't like. Either ignore them or discuss their position. Reasonably. Civilly. Politely.
If you report someone for being "mean to my pretty made-up girl", we're going to go after you, not them. Let's be clear. So check the Rules and Report people who are being obvious dickheads, not people who say mean things about Triss or -might-, -maybe- be trolling.
-4. Triss Vs Yen. Or Cerys. Or Geralt.
THIS IS NOT A THING. Do not start Shipping Wars on my forums! We moderators will treat any attempts to draw up sides and start fights or paint people as part of one side or another the SAME WAY we do Platform Wars: your presence here will be suddenly curtailed. I may go in and edit your posts full of Ponies, or just delete them, thus RUINING all your pro-Triss/Yen/Geralt love. Not kidding, I've been known to spend an hour or two undoing people's careful posts if they annoy me enough.
-5. I am NOT FAIR. Maybe I like Yen better. Maybe I like Triss better. Maybe I like Marcin best. NO MATTER WHAT, though, I don't like trouble and disruptions and THAT'S what I, and my fellow mods, will go after. Don't go into other threads to start arguments. Don't make clone accts and do same, ( we run checks), don't get your fellow fans riled up to make war.
Don't let your sense of injustice or unfairness or however you justify your reason for making war in my forum be the cause of you no longer BEING on my forum.
Basically, stop the dumb shit immediately or we'll stop it for you. If you can't say something interesting and new and non-stupid, Just.Don't.Say.It.
Clear? Good.
After this, it's Ponies and Bans and Edits and so forth.
