As an example... It has happened on more occasions...
Sometimes the mods gets into some "internal humour" mode, ruining perfectly good debates.
Reporting the issue seems stupid, as I assume mods are the ones reading the reports?
So I posted here for advice.
The real question is, what do you do when tourists start spamming?
Tourists are only allowed to spam if they use the approved language.
Spammish
I didn't expect a Spammish Inquisition...Quote:

I'd also ignore the comment as most people are fond of doing to my nonsensical posts. However, I thought the "spam" was well timed attempts at humour if it is the posts I think you are referring to. There is a point where you can take a joke too far, but often people have different ideas as to where that line is.
You send them to Belize. On holiday.
As tourists.
I agree with Kadagar. It sets a bad example for people who might be visiting these forums, but don't have an account. Tourists, if you'll indulge my metaphor.
Yeah, what about the tourists?
You can report the moderator in question to TosaInu.
It'll have to be in the secret .Org language we'll be introducing from the 10th of octobre though.After that date we'll won't accept posts or complaints in any other language.
Can I consider this my very own Mith-gate? Can I, Can I?! :jumping:
I started to answer you, but I think I tore a tendon in my wrist.Quote:

Just think about it.
Who the **** cares about the fate of tourists when the fate of those who live there, permanently, is so seriously prejudiced by legislation? Instead of calling the imbecile by his nam, Mithrandir demonstrated the imbecility of the question by repeating it as if it had never been answered.
Chateau wine plz, Mithrandir, the 'village' you sent last time was undrinkable
That actually makes sense, since the quiz said no one was worth a camel.Quote:

Even this thread is spammed up by moderatorly gibberish.
Back to "what about tourists". Diane ?
My daughter rode a camel in Australia. :turtle: <- pretend this is a camel
If you have a problem with a particular mod you can either (politely, preferably) take your concerns up with the mod in question or to TosaInu.Quote:

I'd have gone with her, but there was the matter of a weight limitation.
I only have to raise my hand and a legion of beer and spam fueled camel warriors will thunder across the plains sowing death and destruction in their wake... You have been warned.
But W.A.T.T. ?Quote:

However if you don't feel comfortable contacting the mod you have issue with, contacting Tosa is always an option. State your case with reason and logic rather than flaming (let the forum rules be your guide) and your issue will be considered. If not Tosa, approach another moderator with whom you do have a comfort level and seek guidance that way. Those who have had major fall outs with the Org over the years are those who have let an incident consume them emotionally to the point they usually end up burning bridges, so you shouldn't fear repercusion for voicing any reasonable objections.
And as to this particular incident, I apologize for contributing to the derailing of this thread and the original thread in question. I'll be a little more sensitive to this in the future. :bow:
