CFC

If this were CFC, this thread would have been subjected to "moderator action" because the word "butt" appears in the poll

The strictness of the mods is generally a good thing, because it ensures a very high quality Off-Topic experience. The idiot jokesters are washed away and we're left with the most insightful and interesting posters.

It's basicly survival of the wittiest there.

HAH! High quality? A good number of the members in the CFC OT suck. RedStranter, Kat, and garric are probably the most significant ones that I can think of, but you know that even more than I do. If your moderators were so strict, they wouldn't tolerate such obvious trolling by those members (As well as tolerating the bigotry that some of the members have.)

Besides, need I remind you of CFC's policy of not having "no personal threads" to prevent elitism? This policy is something that I highly disapprove of - a forum can in many parts be like a family, and banning this (regardless of the fact that it rarely is enforced) is completely against the idea of a forum. A forum will have an "elite" - they are called "active members" - and removing this type of thread only removes a huge benefit in a forum outside of the futile debates.

More important is the fact that CFC simply has less qualified members. More younger kids, more novices in academics and less experts. It's far more of the juvenile pointlessness of a general internet forum. Apolyton has experts in various fields and adults participating, and in general is more of an intellectual forum. It's not a "survival of the wittiest" in CFC - the crappiest is still there. Apolyton is the survival of the wittiest, considering the various traditions it has had, such as the DL dance and the like.

But Red Stranger's trolling is absolutely hilarious. The partisan bickering is ungodly entertaining.

The only ban it because if they didn't, I'd take over.

CFC has a fair number of experts on a wide subject of topics, and damned smart novices too.

Nah, it's only a temp ban, the price you pay for being cool.

Love of CFC doesn't require faith, just knowledge.

Sorry, mate.

It's very clear that the only genuinely popular choices are "Other" (which of course is synonymous with banana) and ananab, which is obviously a banana vote too.

While I applaud Spec on the spirited attempt to fight his corner, we cannot ignore the reality that his attempt to raise a rag-tag army of n00bs, CFC exiles, and assorted wannabe revolutionaries and malcontents has failed, and nothing short of a desperate hiring of mercenary evil Finns hell-bent on chaos, or some other devilish chicanery, can rescue his cause now.
