Having 4 hours of sleep didn't help either.

Too bad I can't fall asleep even now :implode:

Are jokes not permitted here?
I never implied that- just that it seemed wrong to reprimand people for doing something that they were allowed to do a month ago in the same situation. In fact, it was encouraged last time.

My point was, how are they supposed to know? How are they supposed to know when suddenly its not okay to talk about people they believe to be trolls,hackers,staff in disguise, etc?

I think the reprimand was rather about Pheonix, not about the zombie stuff.

I know that's what I was getting at.

Who can blame them for thinking Pheonix, Blazy, and co are just trolls or the staff in disguise for some other, wonderful "prank''? All I was saying was that it seems a bit misguided.

Too add to that, the "Humposaurus" was so un-original that it was more of an eye-sore than some "funny" thing

What exactly is the problem with you guys? You know how much did people worked creating this festival? If you don't like the way the things are run around here you are free to leave the site if you are not pleased or amused by what we planned for YOUR entertainment. No one is forcing you to like the zombies or the humposaurus, or whatever other thing we do, but show a bit of respect for the effort put to create contests and games for you instead of calling it un-original and stupid. If you don't like it don't participate, but don't be rude to the people that are behind those ideas (and yes insulting their ideas - not critizing, because that is not a constructive criticsm - is being rude to the people behind them).

Also, the flaming against members (banned or not) is against the rules, trolls or not. And once again this is the "WHAT annoys you?" topic not the "WHO annoys you?" thread so is not allowed to name specific people or said bad things about them here or anywhere else in the forum.

Jesus H Christ this is getting out of hand.

My original point was and still stands:
Making illiterate troll accounts- is not humor.
Pretending to hack the site- is not humor.
Making a fake account of a person who has a hard-on for dinosaurs- is not humor.
And you can't just put a stop to things everyone was allowed to do because it fit in with your schemes when it suddenly doesn't benefit your prank anymore. You encouraging the whole site to get all antsy and leave them guessing about trolls and making accusations, then weeks later having it suddenly be forbidden, is foolish. Of course they're going to immediately do that. What else did you anticipate they would do?

It's not their fault, they're following what was the norm, what was encouraged by all the staff involved, especially the ones who contributed when everyone made guesses and accusations about the dino dating thing.

edit: was posting when staff posted.

I understand the staff worked very hard on the festival. Hell, I actually liked it and it was well-done and creative. But the "hacking" never should have been performed, perhaps a "safer" alternative could've sufficed.

TBH, my biggest problem with this whole thing is that it is specifically said in the rules that trolling is not allowed, but the whole Dinodating scheme was nothing but a giant troll attempt (and one I was personally offended by), and this zombies thing seems to be just the same thing on a smaller scale. Are the staff not bounded by the rules?

EDIT: was ninja'd by like four people. :S I am slow.

She said she's not asking again, do you not think it is time to stop?

Edit: seems they may have missed that :P

At my own risk:

I never intended to insult the festival or any of that malarkey. I don't see where it came across that I did..? I wasn't insulting anything, just stating how you are playing with a loaded gun when some are allowed to tiptoe across rules. That's it.
