This has been on my mind for a while. To those of you who are new here, we have had a monthly "Admin Abuse" time. This is basically where we mess with the censors for the board so that people talk with an accent, maybe changing words into pictures, videos, random phrases and other stuff.
So what are your thoughts on it? Do you think we should carry on doing it once a month? Or should we realize that it's not funny anymore?
Please vote in the poll above. It'll be locked 7 days from this post.

Eh, there's not really an answer that fits for me. I love admin abuse when it's like...
OMG TIGRE DID THIS. BUT HOLY CRAP LEVI ADDED THIS AND MADE TIGRE MAD. TIGRE DID MORE STUFF TO COMBAT LEVI. BUT LEVI STRIKES BACK WITH MORE CRAP.
That admin abuse is exciting. :3
When it's just "Meh, look, a funny picture", it's more annoying than it is funny.

Yeah but since Tiger's been a bit... non-adminey lately, that's not very likely to happen anymore.

When I first joined, I was caught right in the middle of the Admin Abuse. I had no idea whatsoever of what was going on, and it freaked me out...
Now that I realized what it was, I warmed up to it, but I didn't care for the entire change of Mario Paint to the Wyoming Incident thing...
I don't know about it, maybe I'd give it one more shot, and then if the majority don't find it amusing, then we should get rid of it.

Admin abuse is generally ok for me, though the Wyoming Incident got a "little" out of hand

I actually liked the admin abuse when it was in good taste. I'd like to see it continue, but here are some things to keep in mind. 1. Monthly admin abuse. Once per month please. Give us some time to recover. I could have sworn there was a point there, where it was like, once every 2 weeks. I know when you think of a good idea, you want to use it, but save it up so you don't run out of them. 2. Try to avoid putting things in the news ticker (aka: The Wyoming Incident). It makes it really hard to click, and it's more annoying than fun. 3. I'd rather not see long blocks of text being replaced in either (aka: Dear pesky plumbers). While I'll admit I liked the idea, a word for each small section would be better, and less obnoxious. (Sort of like the Duck abuse) Wow... I used 3 times in that. New record!

I remember the first time I saw admin abuse, it was funny, but nowadays...eh...it's getting dull. Dull, and when it gets taken too far, to the point of things being unreadable, it's annoying.

Okay I think I get it. If this poll ends with "I did, but not anymore" winning, I'll probably make it so that Admin abuse is only subtle like it used to be. E.G.: Changing more to MOAR, four/for to FOAR, etc.

I'm new here, but I remember when the mods at an old board I used to frequent did "admin abuse" (in this case, making people talk like pirates, or substituting nonsensical phrases for certain words). But it was more of a yearly thing, and usually happened around the 1st of April.
It was fun for that one day, but I think doing it on a monthly basis would get annoying. If you were to keep up the tradition, I would suggest doing it no more than three or four times a year.

As long as the admin abuse isn't ridiculous (like The Wyoming Incident faces taking over the news ticker, xD), then it's fine. I particularly liked the times when Mario Paint would be replaced with Sonic Paint and stuff.

It wasn't what you did in the chatzy, rather it was how you refused to change your posts on the forum (at first) and denied that they were illegible. Though, it seems as if you've at least made the effort to make your posts better. Keep it up, I'll take off the warning level.

Just don't do it anymore. Please. There's a reason why I clear out of the forums when it occurs. It makes the board unreadable, and aside from the typical admin abuse topic, there is no other fun to be had.

I very highly recommend that if Admin Abuse remains that we do NOT replace common words or letters with other words/letters (like more --> moar and you --> u). It tends to break URLs, which can be very annoying, and in one instance changed a certain URL into a site that had porn and pop-ups (albeit an old post when that AA was going).

Hrmm ill admit i denied they were illegible (some of them are a bit.. urm.. messy. though, not all of them) but im often editing my posts, especially if theyre a little rough. oh, and about my spelling, i try to spell as well as i can, but please dont shout at me if i spell a few words wrong, or miss out a few caps or bits of punctuation. Im only human. And im saying that to everyone, not just you. But the whole argument on chatzy was started by lite (i think) swearing at me because i shortened "Copyright" to "Copyrite". Thats what, i think, is overreacting. Anyway. Back to the point!! Basically, admin abuse time is kinda fun, unless posts start to become completely unreadable, because of huge messages replacing common words or letters!
