Lessons from Blegemoth - Lesson 1

For what its worth, todays lesson is:

How to have fun and joke around on a forum

Hi kiddies! In todays lesson, we're going to learn the difference between being a vitreous hater, and having a joke. Now pay attention, because what you learn today will become a valuable asset for the rest of your life!

There is a difference between messing around and poking fun in a jovial spirit, and just being outright poisonous. Let me give you some examples:

Making Fun

Making fun is when you use humor without directly offending any particular person. The best way to accomplish this is to make fun of yourself in the process and that is a CLEAR indicator to others, that you are not serious and that you're simply messing around.

Here's an example that I'll just pull from the top of my head. It may or may not be factual.

"Hey I don't want girls to play because I got PWNED".

The above example becomes quite funny when the person making the statement lost their whole army to a girl. In effect the statement admits defeat in a humerous manner, but does not directly insult anyone. If anything, any girl reading such a statement would have a smirk on her face and think: "Yeah, we rock!"..

Being Vitreous and Poisonous

Now we will learn what is not funny. If you make a comment to someone calling them a name personally, or tell them that they are an idiot, or a dumbass -- it is not very nice.

It is also not very nice to insist that someone be perma-banned, or to have a thread closed. This is evidence that you are not willing to have fun, but actually more interested in being vitreous.

If anyone has any questions about how not to be nasty when someone is messing around, feel free to reply here.

Have a nice day kiddies! Don't forget to brush your teeth!

See children. Now the above comment is an example of how to be very nasty. It is not intended to be fun. Zenrax is displaying contempt and anger.

Children, the above thread was made by someone who is just having a laugh and is perfectly acceptable.

In this example, children, I'd like to point out how Zenrax has attempted to ferment a mob by using the word "we". Of course, it is not true that all people do not like Blegemoth. The above comment was not made in a jovial spirit.

Case Study One:

It is not true that all people do not like Blegemoth.

This post further demonstrates the inaccuracy of Zenrax's sentiment.

I guess you're right. It's impossible for NOBODY to like you. I mean, there are plenty of insane people in the world! *cough* kittiana and miza *cough*

The above comment contains absolutely no humor, but was written only to inject poison into the thread.

Zenrax, you filthy monster, GO SHARK SOMEONE ELSE. Leave Belge alone, it is just stupid to go after someone for no reason. You made your point. Get the heck out.

This thread, children, is an example of how not to treat other people.

Do you not know the difference between a thread and a post?

This post was made by someone who has a special little virtue called "character". Character is when you stick up for someone else when they are being treated poorly. Character is highly recommended children.

FINAL LESSON: Moderators don't care to be taunted.

Let this also be a lesson that continuous flaunting of rules, and continuous attacks on other members is not acceptable policy. It will get you banned.
