Flood Control

[Flannel Avenger]

Can we be rid of Flood Control or turn it down from 1 minute to 45 seconds or less??

Pretty please???

(or just make me immune to it :D)

[Orpheus42]

NO you post too much as is.

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ,

Jason

[Flannel Avenger]

HA, you can't post too much!!

[Orpheus42]

You, sir, are proof to the contrary.

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ,

Jason

ps. for the humor impaired: *pats Flannel on the back* love ya bro

[Flannel Avenger]

AW, I'm loved.

Now, go and post in my thread "Flannel's Book Review Corner" (http://www.iljboards.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=32814#post32814) in the Book, Music, and Game review forum.

I'm sorry. I just have to bring this up. You are complaining about a measly one minute flood control? When you get up to a five minute flood control, then it is cause for complaint (or even three minute). Believe me. This is NOTHING compared to what I've been through.

Be happy that there is no need for the five minute flood control! :biggrin:

[Orpheus42]

For real. I used to frequent a board at www.ccmbuzz.com that got so out of hand they made flood control five minutes. That sucked. Then they closed the board down. I do believe the site is up and running again, though.

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ,

Jason

[Flannel Avenger]

Well, when waging a war with a certain Tyrant who is immune to it, it puts one at a slight disadvantage

[Vinnie]

what

[Vinnie]

is

[Vinnie]

this

[Vinnie]

flood

[Vinnie]

control

[Vinnie]

thing

[Vinnie]

that

[Vinnie]

you

[Vinnie]

speak

[Vinnie]

of

[Vinnie]

?

[Vinnie]

I

[Vinnie]

don't

[Vinnie]

get

[Vinnie]

it?

[Vinnie]

Not bad for under 2 minutes eh? :p

[Katie_543]

That's grounds for a warning where I come from. They don't even like two in a row. :p They reduced a few people's post counts for stuff like that. This place is lenient.

[Flannel Avenger]

That's only because he's the assistant administrator.

He gets away with almost anything he wants to do.

[Vinnie]

Yes, Flannel knows. I have seniority around here :D

I can do what I want within reason. Pam still won't let me fool around with stuff in the control panel or merely ban people just for goofing around purposes. She has yet to give in even an inch to my constant pestering through email :D

Hey, I edited an amin's post and got a promotion LOL

They let me mod another board :D

PS I actually asked her if I could ban you for a day or two Flannel LOL :p :p :D

[Vinnie]

Unfortunately, she said no :(

[Nicole]

vinnie - you are horrible!


:p :D

[Katie_543]

Oh great and powerful Tyrant. Thou art such a worthy and noble administrator. Ye never abuseth thine powers and are a blessing unto us all. Your humble servant, Katie

[Vinnie]

I expected you to say something like this:

Still....the admins of the other board I post at are held to the same rules as the rest of the posters. If they violate the rules, they get warnings and bans just like everyone else. One even gave herself a warning last week!

Not:

Oh great and powerful Tyrant. Thou art such a worthy and noble administrator. Ye never abuseth thine powers and are a blessing unto us all. Your humble servant, Katie

I love this job :D

[Vinnie]

Hey Nicole, I pleaded for the longest time with Pam to let me tke away Candice's moderator status for a day or two a while back LOL :D

[Nicole]

It's a good thing Pam is smart and doesn't give into your every whim! :p This place would be crazy..not that it isn't already! :D

[Vinnie]

"It's a good thing Pam is smart and doesn't give into your every whim! "

Pamela is mean :wah:

[Breni Sue]

Nah, she just knows better! :rofl:

[Vinnie]

Flood

[Vinnie]

control

[Vinnie]

doesn't

[Vinnie]

me :D

[Vinnie]

"Nah, she just knows better! "

What? Who do you think gave me access to the control panel :eek:

[Vinnie]

Hmmm, I left out control:

Flood control doesn't control me :D

not

Flood control doesn't me :D

[Breni Sue]

What? Who do you think gave me access to the control panel You have a point. Um, maybe she was not in her right mind at the time? :p :biggrin:

[Flannel Avenger]

You know, it would be kind of amusing to watch Candice lose her moderating powers for a few days and squirm under Vinnie's rule....

You want to see a real abuse of power? Check this out:

[Vinnie]

Abusing power like that. That is despicable. I'm telling Pam :D

[Flannel Avenger]

Yes, run straight to the "Secret" moderators forum to discuss it

BWA HAHAHAHAAHHAHA!!

[Nicole]

:)

[butterfly]

Flannel, what are you talking about, Nicole's an :angel:

[Nicole]

awww..thanks Cath! *gives Cath a hug*

[Flannel Avenger]

Can we ban Nicole for a week while I catch up?

[Katie_543]

Start a petition. Maybe if you get enough signatures they will actually listen to you. :p

[Flannel Avenger]

They listened to me on the "Secret Moderator Forum" thing.

They never listen when I'm being serious...

[Orpheus42]

SOME of us moderators don't abuse our powers like that.

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ,

Jason

[Flannel Avenger]

Yeah, so far, Jason has been a good moderator. Lets make him Assistant Administrator instead of Vinnie!:biggrin:

[Nicole]

:D

I won't make a habit of it! It was just fun to really feel the no flood control power there! :D

[Flannel Avenger]

:redhotmad

[Vinnie]

flood control? :confused:

[Flannel Avenger]

I think that Vinnie should have to spend at least a week as one of us "mere mortals" so that he can know the agony of flood control.

Biblical Precedent: Jesus taking on human form.

[Vinnie]

Jesus

[Vinnie]

had

[Vinnie]

control

[Vinnie]

over

[Vinnie]

nature

[Vinnie]

in certain passages.

[Vinnie]

Refute that :p

[Flannel Avenger]

Why would I want to refute something that is true??

SEE HIS FLAGRANT ABUSE OF HIS POWER!!!!!

FREEEDOOOOM!!!!!

[Vinnie]

"Why would I want to refute something that is true?? "

Because it justifies my not being restricted by flood control :p

[Vinnie]

I

[Vinnie]

never

[Vinnie]

abuse

[Vinnie]

power

[Flannel Avenger]

You're abusing power right now!!

And quit editing my posts!

[Vinnie]

To reiterate Katie's sentiment: "Oh great and powerful Tyrant. Thou art such a worthy and noble administrator. Ye never abuseth thine powers and are a blessing unto us all. Your humble servant, Katie"

:D

:D


You little........!!!!! :redhotmad

Don't edit my posts! I didn't say that. And now, I can't go back and edit it! I get this message: "The administrator has specified that you can only edit messages for 1440 minutes after you have posted. This limit has expired, so you must contact the administrator to make alterations on your message."

[Flannel Avenger]

And guess who the administrator is...

[Breni Sue]

In reality, Pam.

In his own mind, Vinnie! :p

Go, Katie, this is your chance to rat him out & prove to Pam his abuse of power! :biggrin:

[Vinnie]

I may just put that in my sig :p

You have no proof LOL :D

[Breni Sue]

No, but we do have proof of your abusive flooding! :redhotmad

Unless of course, you get rid of the evidence by deleting your own messages & hence lowering your post count!

Which it going to be, O Tyrant? :stinkeye: :p

[Vinnie]

:p

[Flannel Avenger]

Why don't we just request that the great and powerful Pam, she who even Vinnie fears, simply lower his post count by 3000...

:angel:

[Vinnie]

I'd pass you out within a week even if it was ;)

[Vinnie]

Id do stuff like this

[Vinnie]

and this

[Vinnie]

You get the point.

[Flannel Avenger]

ok, if I can't convince the higher ups to remove flood control from me, can Vinnie at least have to be subject to it?

[Vinnie]

Being an admin, I'll answer your question. NO!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Flannel Avenger]

I hereby appeal to the Supreme Administrator to overrule Vinnie's ruling and make him subject to flood control!

[Vinnie]

Not goong to happen. Especially since according to the supreme admin (Pam) I am and I quote "on the ball" :D

[Orpheus42]

Note that she didn't say on WHAT ball ;)

Peace, Love, and Jesus Christ,

Jason

[Flannel Avenger]

I protest!

[Vinnie]

A text without a context is a pretext. I still have the email. Administrative ball is what she meant! :D

[Flannel Avenger]

PLEEEEEAAAAAASSSSEEEEEE

No more flood control!

[Vinnie]

Flood what?

[Breni Sue]

I think he trying to suggest that he is going to destroy the Hoover Dam! :eek:

[Breni Sue]

Quick! We must have him arrested at once! :redhotmad :bomb:

[Vinnie]

How dare he suggest such a thing. He has been planning this for a while :eek: I often hear him tlk about "flood control" and removing it. We should vcontact the FBI or maybe the Tyrant can just send out some orcs ;)

[Vinnie]

I'm glad I understand this flood stuff now.

[Vinnie]

I didn't get it for the longest time.

[Vinnie]

Fortunately, I do now ;)

[Vinnie]

It is such a relief.

[Vinnie]

Good thing Kyrie pointed it out.

[Vinnie]

Otherwise I'd be out of the loop...

[Vinnie]

...so to speak.

[Vinnie]

But now I'm in the loop....

[Vinnie]

...so to speak...

[Vinnie]

Thanks ;)

[Flannel Avenger]

It's cruel and unusual to flaunt your immunity from flood control like that!

[Vinnie]

Unusual? :eek: Where have you been? It would be unusual not to flaunt :D

[Breni Sue]

Now he is criticizing the powers-that-be! :eek:

[Breni Sue]

This jealousy just further proves his evil intentions! :redhotmad

[Breni Sue]

SEIZE HIM! :smash:

[Vinnie]

Everyone seems to be conforming to tyrannt now that they are all supermods. The power has corrupted yall :eek:

:D

[Vinnie]

Thats not nice!

[Breni Sue]

:angel:

I can't help it! I did not realize how much fun it would be! :p

[Vinnie]

Abusing flood control is bad!

[Breni Sue]

And look who started it!! :stinkeye: ;)

[Vinnie]

Who would do such a thing?

[Vinnie]

Excuses don't work. The he started it thing doesn't work in the cl&d and it aint working here :p

[Vinnie]

abusing flood control will not be tolerated here!

[Vinnie]

email me any abuses against flood control that you see.

[Vinnie]

I will then take swift and strict action against the evil offender...

[Breni Sue]

Oh, no excuses here. But I know a pot calling the kettle black when I see one! :p

[Vinnie]

So heed the warnings!

[Breni Sue]

Hypocrite! :p

[Vinnie]

No, no, no, I'm laying down the administrative law :D

as I was saying...

[Vinnie]

As I was saying, this travesty called abusing flood control will not go unpunished here.

[Vinnie]

Junior tyrantess :p

[Vinnie]

anyone abusing their lack of flood control or flaunting it will be banned immediately.

[Breni Sue]

Then as an admin you should lead by example

[Breni Sue]

Instead of preaching "Do as I say, not as I do" :p

[Vinnie]

I am leading by example. I would never do such a thing. I am simply laying down the law. Each statement has much to digest so I am breaking it into different posts.....

[Vinnie]

I have spoken!

[Breni Sue]

Junior tyrantess? Is that a compliment?? :biggrin:

[Vinnie]

So let it be written...

[Vinnie]

So let it be done!

[Vinnie]

[Vinnie]

Don't worry Flannel! We are hard at work to stop those who abuse there mod powers.

[Vinnie]

We will sift out all the guilty offenders!

[Breni Sue]

Maybe I should put that in my title! :p

None shall escape our notice!

[Breni Sue]

Our powers will not be mocked!

[Vinnie]

Amen! No mercy will be shown!

[Vinnie]

We will search every post!

[Breni Sue]

I am sure you would help me with that, LOL!

[Vinnie]

We will search every forum!

[Vinnie]

Every thread that is stickied will be searched!

[Vinnie]

We will find and punish the rule breakers!

[Breni Sue]

Leave no stone unturned!

[Vinnie]

Yes, no stone will remain unturned.

Earthworms will be scattering everywhere we will unturn so many stones!

Like the stone blocking the Tomb of Christ, these stones will be moved. All of them!

Just ask Pel :D

[Vinnie]

Just like with all state flannel, you are in good hands with us. We will hunt down and eliminate those who abuse privledges.

[Vinnie]

Every valley will be searched...

[Breni Sue]

Actually, Junior tyrantess does have sort of a nice ring to it...;)

[Vinnie]

every hill....

[Vinnie]

every cave....

[Vinnie]

every mountain...

[Breni Sue]

The search will be tireless!

[Vinnie]

We are dispatching scouts immediately. They are going to Alabama...

[Vinnie]

[Breni Sue]

Flood control will be eliminated once and for all!

[Vinnie]

Northwestern Dakota

[Breni Sue]

There shall be no peace for those who abuse flood control :redhotmad

[Vinnie]

Destroyed completely!!!

[Vinnie]

No peace whatsoever! Btw, what is flood control? :rofl:

[Breni Sue]

Each accuser will be dealt with swiftly & severely! :smash:

[Breni Sue]

I dunno. Something to do with Noah's Ark??

[Vinnie]

We shall implement the practice of Old Testament stonings for such offenders!

[Breni Sue]

Personally, I think Flannel is just seeing things

[Vinnie]

So do I. I have no clue what this thing is.

Its like an invisible pink elephant.

[Vinnie]

So flood control is a localized phenomenon then? :rofl:

[Breni Sue]

Poor dude. He really should seek some help for his delusions! :rofl:

[Breni Sue]

How about "Fellow Abuser of Flood Control" :D

[Breni Sue]

That might work! ;)

[Vinnie]

This thread is going on 200. Think we can make a thousand?

:D

[Breni Sue]

Waitwaitwait.. have we determined yet what exactly this flood control thing is yet?

[Vinnie]

no. maybe the dictionary will hel. We will go to www.m-w.com

I'll get the def for flood you get it for control and we will see what we get ;)

[Breni Sue]

One cannot abuse what does not exist! :p

Take your pick! ;)

[Vinnie]

on second thought maybe we shouldn't correlate the definitions. Just post them. You know, ignorance is bliss :D

[Vinnie]

the flowing in of the tide

to have power over

So flood control is having power over the tides. That is blasphemy. Its promoting Neptune the sea god guy. What is this flood control idolatry stuff?

[Breni Sue]

Ask Flannel. He is the one who imagined this whole thing up!

[Vinnie]

I suggest we forget it and keep posting. We may never know what flood control is. Its like the question of how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop :D

[Breni Sue]

I had a friend who tried that once! I can't remember what she came up with! :biggrin:

[Vinnie]

Flanned is delusional. We couldn't trust his answer....

[Vinnie]

I think it matters on how big your tongue is LOL

My cousins when they were real little tried it. I think they came up with like 800 and something LOL :rofl:

[Breni Sue]

I think he secretly trying to take over!

Do you think Pam will know what flood control is?

As if she doesn't already :rofl:

Hey, she told me I was on the ball through email :D

[Vinnie]

I interviewed the Tyrant. Sir Vincent and the Tyrant are different people ;)

[Breni Sue]

I dunno. I don't think Flannel would like it if I turned against him.

[Breni Sue]

You could interview TygerEyes, but she got banned! ;)

[Vinnie]

I don't think he will like this 200 reply thread :rofl:

[Breni Sue]

I doubt he will take the time to read it all anyway! :rofl:

[Breni Sue]

Escpecially since this flood control idea is all in his mind

[Vinnie]

LOL, he might. I would ;)

[Vinnie]

I still want to know what this control flood thing is? What does it do? Does it require batteries?

[Breni Sue]

I think it runs on solar power

[Vinnie]

I think flannel complained about it on a few cloudy days though...

[Breni Sue]

Satellite maybe?

[Breni Sue]

Hypnotic suggestion perhaps?

[Vinnie]

Could be. Or maybe its a wind up device? Like those little things that sing when you wind them....

[Vinnie]

wow! I have to go to bed now LOL

[Breni Sue]

I should have been in bed about 3 hours ago! :eek:

[Breni Sue]

This is all your fault! ;)

Me too! LOL

[Vinnie]

Alright, I'm outa here. Night, Junior Tyrantess ;)

[Flannel Avenger]

I have read your thread and you have given perfect example to the fluanting of the moderator immunity to flood control! I do hereby request of the administration amnesty from flood control or to be made as powerful as Vinnie so that he can be contained! And I am now going to have to figure out how to uncorrupt Kyrie...

[Vinnie]

Yeah, I don't know what happened to her. She used to be so nice and innocent. Now she is running arong calling herself a Tyrantess :D
