Hey Warb, Frink (I Think) was the name of my second children's book. You have to pay royalties to use it.
I actually got this ..... and I did giggle.

After some consideration, I'd like to change my to to "Maybe", but I'd really like the "For" party to explain what kind of moderation they want. Specifics.
If elected, I would ban imperialscum and Darth Id, and I would make everyone else change their avatar to some kind of animal wearing a hat. Preferably a bowler.

You know you could just update the main post instead of making a giant quote block every few fucking posts, right?

Let's be honest, "light moderation" is a fancy term for "let's ban few specific individuals simply because we don't like them". Like corrupt politicians when they make some fancy sounding laws with a sole purpose to enable them exploit something they desire.
It is funny that some of you, unlike me, have been actually braking the forum rules (sock accounts, direct insults etc.). And the most most hilarious thing is that, of all people, a well-known troll was nominated as a potential moderator. :D

And as a bonus, I throw in an example of one of your countless trolling manoeuvres in Star Wars Discussion section.

All of which predate the formal ban on sock puppet accounts. Nice try though.
And people who come here for the sole purpose of trying to sell their "collectibles" and getting huffy at Frink's peculiar sense of humor does not qualify as trolling.

Not to mention there's nothing in the rules that says we can't call you an idiot in off-topic. And by the way, by your own fucked-up logic, calling you an asshole (just as an example) wouldn't be an insult because It's the truth.

This is very disturbing coming from a mod. Whether it was a sole purpose or not should be irrelevant, as it was a completely legitimate purpose. After all, there is a separate section dedicated to trading collectibles. The guy politely made the thread and Frink made a disrespectful and off-topic comment.
So what is then the difference between "peculiar sense of humour" and trolling?
It must be noted that this was just one of the countless examples. I knew Frink was "privileged" around here but I never imagined that a mod would openly defend his disrespectful and off-topic posting.

You are right about that. My point was that if the existing forum rules applied to off-topic, I wouldn't be braking any, while they would.

I didn't mention it the first time but you misspelled "breaking" again. Maybe I was wrong, and you are an idiot after all.

That's like saying if having a Professor Frink avatar was against the rules, I would be breaking it. Irrelevant.

(It must be noted that this was just one of the countless examples.)
There has been a pattern of people only posting about their supposedly rare item that sub forum, and getting upset about the lack of serious responses, and or comments about said items dubious condition.
We're not Ebay or a SW collectibles site. (Most sellers seem to come here because we tend to come up tops in search engines.) I have tried to be helpful, but some people just get upset when nobody is offering to throw money at them.
If you title a topic "curious" and somebody makes a bi-curious joke, overreacting to said joke speaks more about you than the joke maker.
