A message to the "crew"

Why not just use /ignore? Its much faster and more convenient than getting a gang together to /vote mute folk.

Infact I think this practice is sick. Why not just use /ignore?

I had several ties that I will now sever in the last action, DO NOT think we cannot see you, there are ways.

I know who you all are, and some of you are people that I trusted. You made a BIG mistake today, because I was waiting for you. You may not be scared of me, but I will have my day.

hmm, try not to make a big issue of this yoda . i tend to favour /ignore , but if someone is really annoying the community at large the the /vote mute mechanism brings that annoyance to the attention of the devs .

It really is a delicate balance , and as such VO is generally a tolerant community . We acknowledge that sometimes the stresses of RL flow into VO , and to an extent the community as a whole tries to absorb those stresses .

There is however, a point at which that absorbtion becomes stressful or unpleasant for the community at large . I have no definitive answers ; just a concept of a vaguely grey line ...........

The /vote mute mechanism has, in my experience, been used in a way that wasn't vengeful and self righteous a total of three times.

Too bad I missed the action this time around, it sounds hilarious.

/vote mute is a good tool when used properly, however in most cases it isn't. Especially when its part of a campaign, which this sounds like it was another of.

It's actually been quite awhile since this has come up here.

Hehehe, always fun. What's got yodar's panties in a twist (knickers in a knot?) now? Also, between abusing /vote mute, and Yoda abusing VO in order to somehow capture the data of who was doing the voting, I know which one should automatically result is a life ban by GS.
