Pasidon, if you keep talking like that I will ban you. I find it unbelievably irritating.

I am standard with the grammar laws of Ozark English, substituting the 'have' preposition in circumstances that to not require its literal dictionary definition. If I were to have flaw, it would be logical to trace the error back to the creator of machines. Amusing among other things.

You're still wrong. In this circumstance 'have' is used as the auxiliary verb, which is necessary in order for the conditional clause in your sentence to make sense. The only reason some people think 'of' is correct is that they are lazy. Nothing more. There is nothing correct about it. There is no excuse for it in written English.

Now stop being a tard. You are neither a Vulcan nor a machine, so stop acting like it.

No harm in stirring things up a little

Which is the entire purpose of a wink.

are you saying you think winks are just for flirting? Cause that assumption may lead to some awkward misunderstandings in your life

Please. Oh wait, I can do it. Hmmm. The temptation.

[Allathar]

Might want to pass Pasi a burka then, with all the temptations...

[Nazgûl]

Or.... we could just:

1) Accept that people are different and with a large community like this, we'd eventually run into people that doesn't think the way we/you do?
2) Accept that there ARE smilies here, ready to be used in posts, and if T3A/Revora etc at some large scale would decide they are annoying, just have them removed?

I find it rather easy to read a post full of smilies if the poster is being respectful, kind and nice, and I prefer that before a smiley-free post full of sarcasm, hostility and provocative responses. I do however understand the point - a post full of yellow faces you've seen a billion times aren't that thrilling really. But there are worse things in life...

... Just my 2

But Nazgul, where's the fun in accepting things? A lot more pleasure in bitching and complaining about it.

Yet I have not voted. It seems the fate of the useless icon's symbolic meaning remains my decision for the moment.

Pasidon, if you keep talking like that I will ban you. I find it unbelievably irritating.

You find the superior voice of logic irritating when I find emotion inconvenient. How inconvenient.

Now stop being a tard. You are neither a Vulcan nor a machine, so stop acting like it.

I do wish to proceed the path of this topic off of me. But I am forced to mention the irony of your emotional reaction to the circumstances. Continue to base your [professional decisions] / [threats] on emotional values in result to prove my existence is superior than any other. And if I do recall in personal experience at Revora, dead cell threats to ban people are not tolerated.

[Puppeteer]

*Yawn* Go elsewhere Pasidon, you're irritating and boring. Get my drift?

[Vortigern]

It wasn't an empty threat, Pasi. I'm quite prepared to ban you for a week unless you grow out of this ridiculous phase. Also, for a robot, your grammar is appalling. "...base your [professional decisions] / [threats] on emotional values in result to prove my existence..." simply does not make sense. The gist is there, for sure, but there is little clearer than that.

Oh, and I would go so far as to suggest that your existence is not only not superior, but far, far inferior. Which is a shame, because I kinda liked you before you started with this.

[Beowulf]

Shut the fuck up Pasidon. You're a shitty troll, you know that...

[olli]

Tell you one thing, Revora is a lot more fun when something is happening...even if it is a shitty troll. Everyone gets on fine and it's entertaining when everyone is unified in bashing on someone else.

So, without further delay;

Fuck you robot!

[Phil]

The two of you above should probably reconsider your posts as we've decided to take on a stricter role on moderating when it comes to flaming/bashing/abusive behaviour. I know it has been tolerated a lot in the past so I'm giving you a heads up before the actual warning takes place.

[olli]

Fair enough. But why the sudden change? It is meant to be taken with a pinch of salt and not taken seriously.

[Allathar]

DLotS, I think we're all aware that the 'flaming' is not to be taken too seriously?

[Vortigern]

Given how Pasidon is doing his best to provoke a reaction, and succeeding, I'd have thought this would be a prime example of when a bit of mild flaming is just fine.

[Phil]

I don't mind a few sarcastic comments and I myself am not very sensitive. It's just that we've decided to improve the overall tone so as to increase newbie friendliness around here, especially if you're some sort of staff or admin.
The odd "fuck you! " is okay of course, but as soon as it gets abusive, you'll have to expect warnings.

[olli]

Just to let you know, I rarely ever use emoticons in a post. I usually represent a tongue in cheek comment with an exclamation mark or the like.

I see no newbies around here, just Pasidon going through his latest annoying phase. Seeing as the Intros and Personalities forum was destroyed, there is a lack of "hey I'm new around here". Seems like it’s time for some new blood around here...

I don't think any of the members are hostile to newbies, just to people that have been around long enough...it’s inevitable.
