Before I say anything, I'll mention that I am aware of how much rope I am given outside of off-topic, and truly I am appreciative of it.

With that said, I had forgotten about Moth3r's post, and I assumed that Negative 1 was given latitude due to his contributions to the community.  But seeing Moth3r's post again, and realizing Negative 1 is not suppose to be posting using the team account, it's only fair to point out there have been several instances of the real Negative 1 posting with the team account in the past few months.  I don't think I could find them, but I definitely remember the team account posting with his unique style.  And this despite the laughable assertion by the team account (on multiple occasions) that Negative 1 is no longer active or part of the team.

And having said that, I think it's quite possible that he's posting with the team account lately, without using his unique style.  The team account has been posting a lot lately outside of their project threads (see the 4k thread, for just one example), with a lot of negativity, and a lot of the "we" bullshit that we all know actually means "I."

The allowed use of a team account is a bad idea IMO because how many people are using it?  Who is posting what?  When the team account says "we know that 4k is a pointless medium," who is really saying that?

I don't have any solutions here, as it's impossible to police this, and I do recognize the contributions the team is making to the community.  But it certainly is annoying and I certainly will continue to speak my mind about it.

JEDIT: One more thing, I will never, ever understand the Ric Olie banning.  But I'm cool with Cookie Monster being banned.  He was kind of a loser.
