Before starting a parody thread about a CC member

[TeeGee]

Make sure you have permission from the member or members to do so.

Lame. Thanks for another example of how mods stifle forum activity.

Team CC: "We're taking a much more relaxed stance to the forums now.

Unless someone complains that their feelings were hurt."

This has always been the tipping point. Don't make it personal. Standards of what is acceptable and what is not have varied from time to time, and from forum to forum. and from admin to admin and mod to mod. What has always been the tipping point, where you cross the line from "probably ok" to "probably not ok" has been when something becomes personal, about a user instead of about his ideas or his bad puns or his feeble clan.

This is an arbitrary and absurd standard. The relevant metric for deciding whether a thread is acceptable is always going to be whether people feel upset or offended by the thread. But by only paying attention to the cases where a specific user is upset, you allow potentially much greater harms. For example, when someone says "that's so gay" in response to their dice roll, I feel offended and I know a lot of other people would too, even though it doesn't bring correspondingly great benefit to the other users to use that language: there's mainly drawbacks. When someone makes a parody thread of owenshooter, lots of people get enjoyment about it and basically only one person gets upset. So basically you are allowing the hurtful speech and disallowing the beneficial speech.

I don't actually know who it would be in this case, but there's always someone.

On the one hand, I DID NOT give permission for Is Phatscotty a Rogue Reptile?

On the other hand, I'm not a little bitch.
