Thread: Hi, Dexter's introduction.

Well, I saw a wall of text and looked away. Sorry. So why do you use 3rd person speech? Is dexter you? Once again, sorry, I didn't read past your first paragraph because I hate lots of writing.

It's a filter. The short answer is always an asshat.

Because responding to trolls is SPAM. Trolls should always be ignored without exception. The only winning move is not to play. If you aren't a MOD you have no REAL power to thwart trolling and therefore you make it more complex for a real MOD to filter through what's trolling, SPAM, 'help' SPAM, and genuine replies (to the OP).

Welcome to Dreamviews, Euthanatos, thanks for all that effort! Do you prefer Dexter?
It's nice to have you!

Dexter died. There is a thread about it. More or less I was sick of using him anyway but got so much shit for it before I was done with the exercise I kept him around for the sake of argument.

Dexter was genius.

Ah, well...Welcome anyways!

From now on, I'm going to use 3rd person. Starting now.

I bet you anything it was either Placebo or O.

Yeah, was me. I apologised in the DG forum again - didn't realise people would take it so hard for me to put a note in their post
Was just trying to avoid another off topic post... won't do it again if it annoys you guys

EDIT: Ironic that I ended up causing more off topic posts just by doing that anyway :/

Apologising? Mod notes are one of the most inherent parts of moderating a forum...
(Usually signed by the moderator who adds them but still).

DV is really starting to surprise me.
It's like every single moderation action is taken as a declaration of war.
They're moderators, you're visitors. Deal with it.

Hehe thanks Merlock
Gave me a smile for the day, was looking at some posts and getting down about how unfriendly this forum is becoming
Dexters introduction and subsequent demise is just another example of it

I changed my mind about the third person thing...
