It's called trolling. It's not tolerated here. Pretty simple.

Not sure how failing to understand something can qualify as taste, but I like how you always manage to weave "failure to understand/lack of basic comprehension/I am holier than thou and smarter than you" into almost every post you make on DV.

If that's the case, then I can think of at least a handful of members who probably should be infracted/banned by now, but aren't. I even reported abuse a couple times (for those who were explicitly trolling/abusive), but no action was taken as far as I saw, and no reply either. It's pretty pathetic, actually.

Haha what IS this? I googled puppy, but I think this might be a dust bunny.



So is trolling the same as spamming?

/me is going to have to google trolling

edit: hehe wiki says "For example, mass media has used troll to describe "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."

Yeah, so XEI, stop causing grief to my family!

I find Xei's antics rather cute. And there's almost always some further point he's making, that I perceive at least. It's at least a step above trolling.

I have an intense love of jerboas. The big ears are so freaking cute to me.

It's a giant head with four legs...

No, it's called humour. If you think it's a crap attempt at humour then that's fine, you're probably right. And if you think it's inappropriate somewhere then say so. But there are no rules on DV about bad jokes, and attempting to pretend that posting a picture of a gooey organism is an offence on DV is fucking absurd and rather totalitarian, so please give it up.

"Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a political system where the state recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible."

Isn't that what moderators do in forums? I mean, it's not real life here. And certainly not democracy, I mean, do the public vote for mods here?

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, just an observation. "Discuss amongst yourselves"

How the.... this is a cute animals thread

Fluffy is not happy.

Shamelessly copied from another forum.

Awwwwww....

Now I must google as well.
What's the difference between a jerboa and a "kangaroo mouse". Maybe the ears are larger but it looks a lot like some jumping mice we have around here.

**EDIT**
Our mice can't be kangaroo mice because WV gets pretty cold lol Hmmm... I wonder what the hoppers are then
They are cute though

Actually, it's one of the pillows, but a spell was cast on it to turn it into a kitty, and this ensued.

Lots of people think spiders are creepy or disgusting, I think they're cute.

especially these ones.

I suppose i'm weird

And this one's not so much 'cute' as it is 'fucking awesome!' (Beautiful animal, though. )

Isn't this the exact same thing that Xei did? Just because he considers a gooey organism cute doesn't deserve an infraction imho...

If moose posts a pic of him actually CUDDLING that spider, then we won't infract him.

I wish I had one, but they cost $165

I've always wondered how they do that. I could only ever get my dog to do stuff he did naturally, but get him to do it on command.
Like sitting on his ass


Maybe he made the wolf look at cat pictures or something
