  1. So, it is?

    1. @metaltao If it's just foul language an NSFW tag will suffice.

      Thursday, 02-Oct-14 00:59:36 UTC from web
      1. @northernnarwhal OH! AYE! @coutz YOU DID IT! :D

        Thursday, 02-Oct-14 00:59:55 UTC from web
        1. @metaltao That being said no one likes a backseat moderator.

          Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:01:40 UTC from web
          1. @northernnarwhal Oi! That was what I was afraid of! *runs away* I HOPE THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO DO THIS!

            Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:02:17 UTC from web
            1. @metaltao The better way to do it is not to, it's not your job.

              Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:03:00 UTC from web
              1. @northernnarwhal Aye! I just didn't want something to happen to him. It would be silly if he was banned for that. Which in hindsight, would be an unlikely event. Sorry for that. Again.

                Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:03:56 UTC from web
                1. @metaltao He wouldn't be, if anything they'd ask him to remove it or remove it themselves if they weren't happy with it and that would be the end of it. You're right about the tag rule, but you're right in the sense that someone's right when they correct someone who says "doing good" to "doing well".

                  Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:05:46 UTC from web
                  1. @northernnarwhal Exactly! I thought you conveyed that well previously. Thank you.

                    Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:07:46 UTC from web
              2. @northernnarwhal Considering there are no actual mods, his attitude is somewhat justified

                Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:05:09 UTC from web
                1. @nerthos I mean, Wait what?!

                  Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:05:39 UTC from web
                2. @nerthos It's not like it's even a rule that the moderators themselves take very seriously, let alone users.

                  Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:10:05 UTC from web
                  1. @northernnarwhal Y'aye...

                    Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:10:21 UTC from web
                  2. @northernnarwhal That a fault of them, not of Metal.

                    Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:15:11 UTC from web
                    1. @nerthos I guess it was written in the rules. I guess it depends on how you, yourself value the rule. Maybe there was some bias at play?

                      Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:16:04 UTC from web
                    2. @nerthos The point is if they are letting it slide he sure as hell doesn't have to deliberately get himself involved.

                      Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:17:14 UTC from web
                      1. @northernnarwhal Matter of opinion.

                        Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:17:42 UTC from web
                        1. @nerthos Believe me when I say the last thing this site needs right now is backseat moderation and self righteous vigilantism.

                          Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:19:31 UTC from web
                          1. @northernnarwhal Though, what I did was still rude.

                            Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:20:49 UTC from web
                            1. @metaltao Considering the past history of it not being enforced, it was kind of against social norm of this site to point it out. Or, by Taira's perception of the social normality.

                              Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:22:21 UTC from web
                            2. @metaltao I wasn't offended in the slightest.

                              Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:25:35 UTC from web
                              1. @coutz But, it was still highly irregular, by the sites standards. And, it was a trivial matter, of which, stopped the gif thread you and Taira had.

                                Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:26:27 UTC from web
                                1. @metaltao I actually stopped because I'm doing work. Or should be doing, at least.

                                  Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:27:26 UTC from web
                                  1. @coutz Oh, I thought that was me.

                                    Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:29:00 UTC from web
                      2. @northernnarwhal I never knew that. But, I will say, (Although I will try to be more sensitive and not do so next time.) that it was within the rules, one has the right to carry it out. Regardless of it being good or bad, people are still justified in pointing it out. And, making it aware. It is not the persons fault for pointing things out by the rules, but, one could say the staff. If it is a non-problem, it should be eliminated as a rule.

                        Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:20:22 UTC from web
                        1. @metaltao @metaltao I'm not in charge of who makes the rules, but look at it like this: I'm chilling outside smoking a cigarette and some schmuck comes up to and says "those will kill you!". He's correct, and him telling me is justified, but he honestly doesn't need to and it's not his job anyway, I'm already aware but have made the choice regardless.

                          Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:27:13 UTC from web
                          1. @northernnarwhal double nametag, whoops

                            Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:28:25 UTC from web
                            1. @northernnarwhal It makes it all the more special! BLARG! Eck

                              Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:28:49 UTC from web
                              1. @metaltao You've received the exclusive gift of two nametags from me :3

                                Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:30:31 UTC from web
                                1. @northernnarwhal I will cherish and rub it in peoples faces forever. As a bragging right! Now, where is that receipt?

                                  Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:31:10 UTC from web
              3. @northernnarwhal I don't agree, if he or anyone feels compelled to, I say do it. Better than feeling bad for not doing anything.

                Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:05:29 UTC from web
                1. @coutz I honestly would've told them to bugger off, though with that in mind I haven't forgotten a tag before.

                  Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:11:08 UTC from web
                  1. @northernnarwhal Exactly. People can say whatever they want to me, but I have the same right.

                    Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:24:26 UTC from web
                    1. @coutz I just choose to not get involved if I see it, it's none of my business.

                      Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:29:09 UTC from web
                      1. @northernnarwhal I mostly do a joke about the metter. I can't help it, it's in my nature.

                        Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:30:39 UTC from web
                        1. @coutz matter *

                          Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:31:28 UTC from web
                        2. @coutz My philosophy goes ass Zach de la Rocha of RatM so eloquently put it: "kiwi YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YA TELL ME"

                          Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:32:40 UTC from web
                          1. @northernnarwhal "SPREAD ANARCHY! You can't tell me what to do!"

                            Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:33:10 UTC from web
                          2. @northernnarwhal MOTHERgrapesEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER

                            Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:33:43 UTC from web
                            1. @coutz NOW YOU'RE UNDER CONTROL

                              Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:38:29 UTC from web
                          3. @northernnarwhal i like, "kiwi the g-ride i want the machines that are making them".

                            Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:34:33 UTC from web
                            1. @awlditzy I also have an affinity for "With a fistful of steel/Cause I know the power of the question"

                              Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:38:55 UTC from web
                              1. @northernnarwhal man it's hard to pick a favourite from that album but that's one of those i'd ponder over.

                                Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:39:46 UTC from web
                                1. @awlditzy My interpretation of Fistful of Steel has always been that's it's about free speech, the line about silence making him sick is him expressing his distaste with censorship, and the line about knowing the power of the question is all about being aware of the importance of being critical of everything around you.

                                  Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:41:52 UTC from web
                                  1. @northernnarwhal if there's another interpretation i'd like to hear it. Radio is silent though it fills the air with noises--radio is bullpapayas.

                                    Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:43:06 UTC from web
                                    1. @awlditzy It's time to flow like the fluid in ya veins/If ya will it, I will spill it/And ya out just as quick as ya came

                                      Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:45:33 UTC from web
                                      1. @northernnarwhal not a silent one, but a defiant one; never a normal one, cause i'm a apples son

                                        Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:46:13 UTC from web
                                        1. @awlditzy I swear RatM are honestly one of my favourite bands to jam to on my drums. So groovy but simultaneously so heavy, and that's a balancing act I've only seen very few bands pull off well.

                                          Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:48:04 UTC from web
                                          1. @northernnarwhal as a lad i was addicted to the message they convey most; fight the mangoes you don't like, don't just stand around. But yes, the raw visceral music and their capability to play cool at times is definitely unique.

                                            Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:49:52 UTC from web
                                            1. @awlditzy Oh yeah, the lyrics are really great too. They're a real no bullkiwi group. The production on their records is actually really great too, their first album has pretty much a perfect mix from an engineering standpoint.

                                              Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:51:10 UTC from web
                                              1. @northernnarwhal I remember playing cherriesty games from Blockbuster and bumping that when my parents in law weren't at home. Good times.

                                                Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:55:52 UTC from web
                                                1. @awlditzy That sounds sweet, I love pumping the mangoes outta my music when no one else is home.

                                                  Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:57:22 UTC from web
                                                  1. @northernnarwhal Kind of loses its awe when you do it all the time.

                                                    Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:58:15 UTC from web
                                                    1. @awlditzy If that's the case, find a means to play it even LOUDER.

                                                      Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:59:32 UTC from web
                                  2. @northernnarwhal I'm a music pleb but I also love RatM.

                                    Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:47:32 UTC from web
                                    1. @coutz Excellent, I'm giving you brownie points for that because RatM are my jam.

                                      Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:49:50 UTC from web
                                      1. @northernnarwhal Yay! Say, how you feel about System of a Down?

                                        Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:52:55 UTC from web
                                        1. @coutz I don't like them as much as I did a few years ago, but I still like them for nostalgia's sake. Plus the drumline on Toxicity is so tight.

                                          Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:54:29 UTC from web
                                          1. @northernnarwhal IKR! I personally think that Serj Tankian is a genius.

                                            Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:55:33 UTC from web
                                            1. @coutz He's certainly one of the more unique voices I've heard in rock.

                                              Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:58:46 UTC from web
                                              1. @northernnarwhal Definetly. Have you heard his solo works? It's quite impressive.

                                                Thursday, 02-Oct-14 01:59:25 UTC from web
                                                1. @coutz I've heard Elect the Dead, Imperfect Harmonies, and Harakiri.

                                                  Thursday, 02-Oct-14 02:00:31 UTC from web
                                                  1. @northernnarwhal My favourite song in those is The Unthinking Majority

                                                    Thursday, 02-Oct-14 02:03:34 UTC from web
                                                    1. @coutz I really like Speaking in Tongues off their first record

                                                      Thursday, 02-Oct-14 02:04:20 UTC from web
          2. @northernnarwhal I just hope I wasn't imposing.
