I made my reason quite clear why I voted for everyone except for you in the poll. Not sure what there is to discuss.

Well, if you don't want to explain the general and rather non-specific dislike for me, that is fine, I accept that.

I just can't share my side for you, to see if you change your mind- without knowing some more specifics.

WTF do you mean by 'opted-out' of that thread?

1. If all you mean is that you having chosen not to vote in the thread, and have chosen not to further post in the thread... that's not called 'opting-out'. That's just called not participating. Right now I haven't posted in any of the threads on the Alta front page... that's not called 'opting out' of all those threads. What, are you stupid ??
   
   
2. If you're going to later claim that the pole was skewed because you signaled that people shouldn't vote for you because you 'opted-out'... or in any other way claim that your choosing not to vote, or further post, somehow invalidates the results of the poll...
   
   Spoiler:

   Well, it don't work that way. LMFAO @ you !!!1!
   
   
   
3. Or, are you creating another new policy, similar to this (alleged) new policy of yours allowing posters to opt out of thread titles... but now extended to the polls and/or the body of posts?
   
   
4. Of course, it could be something else entirely, and I'm not 'translating' the latest round of gibberish correctly.

Notice how (C) above is a direct and pertinent question about how you are going to mod this forum. You, as a mod, really should coherently respond to at least that part of the question. If (or should I say when) you prove yourself unwilling, or unable, to do so... it would show, once again, how you have absolutely no reason to be a mod.

Individuality is amazing and flexible. IMO.

It's take little more than a direct assertion of personal intent to simply and easily opt-out of a forum game.

Everyone else is responsible for their own individual choice to participate in the poll and the thread.

Beyond that it is almost impossible to argue about.

Opting- out is clearly harmless and a useful, individual benefit.

Fyp

That gibberish really doesn't answer any part of the question. Here, let's break it down in simpler parts...

Part A: When you say 'opt-out' of a thread, do you mean just simply no longer participating in that thread. That's all you're saying, it's just that simple, no new policy regarding polls,etc... nothing to worry about.

Cause sure, then I agree, there's nothing to argue about. But please note (and I've said this before)... I'm not 'arguing' about anything. This isn't a debate... there aren't sides, or #teams, or 'good moves', etc. I've been asking you as a mod to clarify what your policies are going to be. You shouldn't be getting argumentative at all, period.

So... back to Part A. Are you simply using the term 'opt-out' here synonymous with 'no longer participate' ?:confused" Please, a simple 'Yes' or 'No' would be appreciated.

I think it is very simple and easy, so almost any person can figure it out and decide for themselves.

This is impossible. I have clearly done it and I testify as such.

And yet, your name is still in the poll and you and others are still taking about it. Odd....

Already addressed. Easily, since it is so easy.

Since were doing translation here... let's take this message and try to decode it. Step 1: Part of editing for length, as thechef suggested, is removing the Captain Obvious stuff. Like "Individuality is amazing and flexible. IMO." & "Everyone else is responsible for their own individual choice to participate in the poll and the thread.". This give us...

Step 2, let's take the first sentence/paragraph. I'm going to assume that "It's take" is a simple typo and should be, "It takes". I'm also going to guess that "forum game" here refers to the poll. Once again... you should really try not to try to 'puff up' your writing with fancy-sounding terms like this. It's always better to be simple and direct. So now we got...

Now let's turn to this little cup of word soup in the middle here. All it really says is 'post notice'. Let see what we got now...

OK, I'll skip the next relatively trivial steps, and we finally get to...

OK, it's no longer gibberish.

However... it doesn't tell us what spanktehbadwookie means by 'opt-out', it doesn't tell us what else (little as it may be), besides posting notice is needed to 'opt-out', and it doesn't tell us why spanktehbadwookie #feels this new 'opt-out' policy would be useful or harmless.

It's a bunch on nothing wrapped up in a ball of gibberish.

Shame trolley, it is fair to say you are being argumentative about it?

No, that's just your defensiveness kicking in. He's trying to help you be understood but you're fighting him at every step but he is still trying.

It is very fair to say you are being argumentative.

I'm just keeping a clear understanding of where you and Shamer are coming from.

Moron,

He said that he voted for everyone but you because he thinks you have made the forum unreadable with your spamming gibberish. Hope that helps.

I'm using the same simple and easy personal freedom which allows me to opt out...

...to also choose to be least argumentative about the matter, for now.

So if you all are choosing to be argumentative about it, I just wanted to be sure- so we can understand better where each of us is coming from towards the future.

Dude, what you're doing is out of one side of your face saying "Wah !!!1! I got issues with my language use capabilities. Stop bullying me. Wah !!!1!"... then out of the other side of your face you say "Dude, that's simple and easy. I ain't going to even give you the courtesy of a simple 'Yes' or a 'No' to clarify a damn thing. Get stuffed !!!1!".

Fact: Typing a simple 'yes' or 'no' is easier, and conveys more information that the crap above. You are deliberately refusing to engage in any conversation... regarding clarifying your very own statements.

Which, while not OK, is allowed in Baja Politards. It's called trolling. But it's simply not proper when I'm a user, asking you as a mod, to clarify what WTF your policy is modding this forum. As I predicted... still another example of why you have no business being a mod.

He's not being argumentative, he's just accusing others of it and going on and on about opting out of nothing and not bothering to explain simple answers and would rather wait until tomorrow because ...?

Oh, yes I recall all the past spank smear campaigns. Valuable education material, IMO.

I'm slowly reaching out to people who may have been effected by them.

rjoe, you're doing my thing

As an aside- I do enjoy seeing people put more of their spank work on the record. At a certain volume over time it actually may become something, unexpected.

Enjoy your choices.

I know but I have an excuse lol

Can you translate this? I have no idea what you mean. What unexpected results can we see from choosing to engage with you?

No, there is no excuse

Or at least that's what JJ told me

Other than you being remodded that is.
