Full Compliance
 

AFF has been somewhat explicit about desiring to better enforcement the AFF rules of engagement, and have dutifully responded to flagged posts, inflammatory posts (ones they thought were inflammatory :) ), etc.

If we want to really be serious about this, it's time to edit our emoticons. Those things are worse than words! :lol

For example, there's the Big Baby, one of my personal faves to use for whiners:
:bigbaby

There's the violent emoticon :smack

There's the unkind "laughing at you" :laffatu

The condescending "pat" :dogpat

The sexually harrassing lovey ones :crazyluv

The annoying :annoymusic

The threatening :club :drawguns :boxing

The bitter :angry1

The biggoted anti-old people one :grumpy

Did I say threats already? :hurtyou

The rude :lalala

The scheming :evilglee

The gossipy :thad

The insensitive :crazy

The racist :girlfriend

and....
The idolatrous :santaclaus

Re: Full Compliance

We have had various "Smilie" story and song threads. You can't stifle creativity. :foottap :girlytantrum :bigbaby :icecream

Re: Full Compliance
 

:thumbsup :heeheehee

Re: Full Compliance
 

:thumbsup :foottap :girlytantrum oops! I forgot I can't use these. I've searched diligently for a smilie (don't know about that term...smilie) that would say what I want to say to some of the #%^&@! Posters on AFF but they all seem to come up lacking! Oh well...:nahnah

Come out, Cindy! Come out!

Re: Full Compliance
 

I want to report the Gossip emoticon. I think it's wrong the name of it is "Thad."

hahahahahahahahahaha

Re: Full Compliance
 

CHICKEN...... You know you were serious! :laffatu

Re: Full Compliance
 

Are you accusing the Forum of speaking out of both sides of their mouths??










If so, I agree with you.

Re: Full Compliance
 

No, just that they are setting us up for failure.

I mean this is quite an arsenal! :ursofunny

Re: Full Compliance
 

Hogwash. You're 100% serious and you should be. An infraction can be issued for calling someone ignorant, yet I am provided with, by the Forum, this smilie....... :crazy

Re: Full Compliance
 

As long as you don't use it in a sentence such as this:

'I think you are :crazy' you'll be fine. :icecream

You can use that smiley for many other various uses other than to mock or ridicule another member. :thumbsup

Hoovie desperately searches for good cause for a smackdown...:smack:beatdeadhorse:thwak:pillowfight :boxing:guns:reaper:snapout

Peace.

Re: Full Compliance
 

Ok, I consider myself highly skilled, in fact, an expert, in avoiding infractions. It took me a while but I figured it out. Since I figured out the name-calling/infraction game, I've only received the infractions I wanted. Here recently, I basically begged for one because I wanted to know if there was a change in the AFF climate (and learned there was). So, if I say, "You're an idiot", I'm going to get an infraction....well, unless I said it to Coadie. However, if I say, "Be careful, you're starting to sound like an idiot", I'm squeaky clean.

But I see here it's possible that I can actually add to my name-calling/insult arsenal. For example, if I say, "The Forum's obsession this week with taking away my ability to comment about the validity of baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is theologically irresponsible", I'm going to get an infraction.

BUT.....if I say, "I think the Forum's obsession this week with taking away my ability to comment about the validity of baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is theologically irresponsible", I'm off the hook?

I LOVE IT!! This could open up a while new world to me! :shockamoo

Re: Full Compliance
 

Hey it could be - depending on how small your world really is...

Your baptismal question is not off limits BTW, just needs to happen in the proper designated area. If I remember it was asked that you have that discussion in the debate area. So enjoy!

Re: Full Compliance
 

While I would agree with most of what you've learned. I should probably warn you that we do have a 'general forum disruption' clause that you could fall under if we see a lot of disrespect, mockery and ridicule.

Quoted from the Forum Rules:

So you're not totally off the hook with that style of posting. :winkgrin

Re: Full Compliance
 

So... NOW, as much as you don't like it, you posting here is a privilege and contingent on you being pleasant and an all around asset to this forum.

Re: Full Compliance
 

But of course, because I am so well loved by all the Admin, and well respected, and also because my posting style is almost always loving and kind, I haven't been disruptive! :) And I never mock. I'll disagree passionately but I hate mocking.

But hey, someone told me today, privately, that he's praying for me to be thrown off the forum. I feel pretty special!

Re: Full Compliance
 

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!!!! You need to say, "As much as I THINK you don't like it!!!!" I like it just fine. I get bored when ya'll start talking about the snow, your grandkids, the color of your living room carpet, or what the price of gas is in Chattanooga. On the same token, if it were a free-for-all, there would be no creative challenges to be controversial while at the same time, obeying the rules! It's kinda like the Old Testament.....you could be as mean as you wanted, just obey the technical letter of the law. That's what happens here on the forum. Hey, there's a new name!!! www.oldtestamentforum.com

I like that!:lol

Re: Full Compliance
 

And, me :grampa

Re: Full Compliance
 

Peace out NOW. Just saying our disputes need to be couched in respect for contrary beliefs.

And I hope if we ever meet, you will join me in cup of Java and ask about my kids before you rain hellfire on on my church...

Re: Full Compliance
 

I would never defile myself by consuming one single ounce of caffeine, you heathen. Oh wait, I mean, "I THINK you're a heathen!":lol

And besides, my ADD meds don't allow any caffeine.

Re: Full Compliance
 

What are you a Puritan? Personally, I have had my fill of Pilgrim life.

15Then Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable that says people aren’t defiled by what they eat.”

16“Don’t you understand yet?” Jesus asked. 17“Anything you eat passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer. 18But the words you speak come from the heart—that’s what defiles you. 19For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander. 20These are what defile you. Eating with unwashed hands will never defile you.”

Re: Full Compliance
 

You sound like one of those compromising pentecostals that just wants to see how much he can get away with! Oops.....I THINK you sound like one of those!!:lol

Re: Full Compliance
 

Why are you telling everyone I said that?? You have no decency do you, my friend? Just remember, the truth can set you free!

Re: Full Compliance
 

This thread has brought me to tears...

We have funny people on AFF.


NOW, you are a HOOT. If I could find an owl or a Hooter's girl as the emoticon, I'd have used it!

Re: Full Compliance
 

I didn't tell everyone........but you just did!! I never said who it was!! Someone's missing a french fry out of their Happy Meal. :happydance

Re: Full Compliance
 

You know, I literally have a WORLD of responsibility sitting on my shoulders today. It's probably fair to say I have more riding on the next few phone calls and emails than any other call or email of my life. So this is serving as a great distraction as I set here and wait. :)

But I think OldPathsII just said something he really didn't wanna say.:lol

Re: Full Compliance
 

Just raise your hands and hold on - or is that let go?

Re: Full Compliance
 

Smart move.

Re: Full Compliance
 

:heeheehee

Re: Full Compliance
 

This happy meal remark is why I stand by what I said to you privately. Of all those on this forum that disrespet the precious truth of the new birth, your the worst. I have no problem admitting that I hope your silenced.

Forum leadership, if my words are disrespectful please let me know. I don't want to cross the line.

Re: Full Compliance
 

Thanks, it feels just wonderful to be laughed at. Enjoy your laugh but I will stand for the truth. I've been laughed at before, I don't mind.

Re: Full Compliance
 

Well, let's see - - there's a rule about not revealing what is said in private messages, but I guess it doesn't apply to this situation since YOU are the one that revealed it.

I think you need to smile awhile- - everything shouldn't be taken so seriously.

Re: Full Compliance
 

Dear Bro. OPII...I'm not laughing at you because you stand for truth.

I'm laughing because NOW didn't reveal you, YOU did.

It just hit my funny bone.

And what I did was to just giggle :heeheehee but what I REALLY wanted to do was :toofunny

I'm sorry...it was just too humorous to pass up! :winkgrin
