My sig

[guyfawkes5]

For what it's worth i didn't think it was offensive, but considering it was once aimed at a real person I can see why it would be seen as inappropriate to use it as a sig.

I am said person, seeing as that statement was directed at me. I certainly am not offended nor do I mind, although it's a shame Stig didn't quote what I said to Helm before that. Bah!

This is an interesting situation though, seeing as I got warned for referring to Stig as 'Stiggles' and 'Stigglet' because he may have construed it as being offensive. Not that he actually complained, but he might have been offended.

Two-way warnings, eh?

Let them withdraw those warnings.
You know I can't be bothered, besides everyone calls me Stiggles and Stigglet

Who would do such a thing?

[guyfawkes5]

I came up with 'Stiggles', I believe PG was the first one to say 'Stigglet'. A limited number of .commites call Stig those names, mostly Nudists (members of the Naked Fanatics clan; see siggie).

@ Stig

Meh. I just now noticed that you changed your sig there Mr. Stiggin's. Personally, I found the old quote to be hilarious, nor would I have known that it came from the Org forums, NOR would I necessarily have known it was aimed at another Orgah. I guess I can see why it should be removed and the reasons for it... but personally I don't agree. In my view a reasonable individual would see that and know that it's a sig quote, and know it's not directed at them.

@ Hosakawa-san

There is a time and place for verbal horseplay, unfortunately, the MP forum is not that place.

I gotta disagree, there's always room for humor, always. Then again I'm here as a newly minted former junior member going up against a number of mods and senior members here on this. Some mods moreso than others tend to rule with an iron fist. Guess I'll just say that I've seen a fair few number of forums or subforums for other gaming sites that literally had the spirit crushed right out of them for this reason. Please don't misunderstand, I'm not saying you will and I know nothing about you or your mod style. I've just seen enough actions by overzealous mods in general trying to stamp out humor that's harmless, at least in my view. /shrug

I am responsible for trying to maintain a civil atmosphere in the MP forum so everyone can debate without things getting personal.

A very sincere "good luck." You're going to need it. In my humble view the key will be to encouraging good discussion and discouraging the hollow arguing, bashing, and flaming. But I'm sure you already knew that... I've just seen a large number of what start out as good threads hijacked, bad threads that take a very positive turn closed, and threads summarily locked with no reason given. It's really discouraging.

Again best of luck.

Firstly, that comment was made at the Pond, not the .org. And secondly, Stig and I are thorough-bred .commites.

I have no idea what you mean by "the Pond"... but the quote is still hilarious. I am very happy for you though, that you and Stig are apparently... horse friends?
