RoM explained - via XKCD and youtube (mostly)

might not work for people who are totally not computer-savvy, sorry. But as i was browsing through xkcd again i just came up with all of this :D

"chance of getting xyz, chance of success, chance of <whatever>"


"Security"


"Bugfixes" / "Balancing"


"Users helping users" "Tech support"


"It's good to be server admin"


"what we need - developer vs. user point of view"


"Bug report template"


"Powergaming / Optimizing by the rules"


"Password security" (ok, that one's not from xkcd...nevermind :D)


"late-night forum discussions"

(sorry needed a new post for it, only 1 video per post :/ )

"Forum moderation" (aka "Livestream of Kalvan @ work")*
*yeah you're just enforcing the forum rules, i know, and we all know.
Still, you were the first who came to my mind as i watched the video and thought about RoM and its forum ;)[/SIZE]

more to come later if i have more stupid ideas :D


I busted out laughing in the middle of my classroom lecture xD

Well, while I'll admit the video was amusing, to my mind, it's not forum-appropriate. My apologies if it's just my mind placing inappropriate language there, but I have removed the video as a result.

congrats Nytefall for being the first one to fall for the "censor" trap. :D

The guy says COUNT all the time. Its the "Count von COUNT", he does nothing but COUNTING all the time.
The censor-beep just traps you into thinking its the F-word and totally changes the whole text - BUT ONLY IN YOUR MIND (which makes it funny in the first place) ;)

maybe try
a) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJxKvwMIVtA (uncensored)
versus
- removed -
:)

(Can i re-edit my original video up there again now,please? ^^)


about the black-n-white picture from post#1 ... if the actual REAL word is too offensive i'll look around for a replacement with the word for it that is used here in the forum anyways and noone ever cared. (or ill just "mspaint"-it myself quickly.) that be ok?

(to quote the count "....sometimes i get carried away" :D)

I'm quite familiar with Sesame Street, and saw the original video as a child. I know what he's actually saying, but as you have admitted, the censor beep is tailored specifically for the inappropriate assumption.

After consultation with the rest of the community team, we feel that the implication is inappropriate for the forum as well. It's the same reason you get a name change in game if you run around with the character name "Fcuk" - it's not actually a profanity, but anyone who reads it knows what is meant.

As a result, please do not re-edit this link back into your post, and I have re-removed the censored version.

Editing and reuploading the picture is fine.

While I hate to rain on your parade (You all are making me feel like I'm declaring "no fun allowed" :( ), misquoting us or selectively editing our quotes to change the meaning is something we regrettably cannot tolerate.

Seems like I broke forum rule QRSTUV section 12345 and a half: Dun' quote meh as it hurts mah feelinz.

Reason: "quote removed." <---not a reason. If you're going to give a reason, give a reason. I dont need a short narrative of what you did, but rather why you did it, and where a forum rule was broken. Otherwise, I see no justification for your edit other than the fact that you need to learn to lighten up.

edit: bah, type slower so I can beat you next time.

double edit: btw Nyte, you need stay on topic in this offtopic section man. Talkin bout censorship and how the Count makes you think inappropriate things is inappropriate for offtopic on-topicnessness!

Everyone, this thread actually put a big grin on my face and it is totally fine as long as it does not even imply masked profanity (poor Count, how could they do this to my personal childhood hero!). We as a team had to make a gut decision there, and YomanRoM, I see what you did there ;) but just the possibility of someone interpreting that video as it was apparently meant to be interpreted required us to pull it, even though we all possibly agree that kids these days know much worse.

Please lets keep this a light-minded fun thread or I start posting kitten pictures :p

So no need to derail into discussion of moderation or abusing our poor quotes, let the fun commence!

Seems a bit like circular logic to me, but that is not Nytefall's fault

a) censorship of words we dont like because of $fcc_reason (google: seven dirty words or "seven words you can never say on television, for the whole explanation... no, not for profanity, but for the explanation -.-) with a beep. Goal: Noone should know what IS actually said.
b) over time people adapt and are basically self-conditioned to insert such a word whenever there is a beep in spoken words, regardless if there is actually a bad word or not.
c) we declare that making fun of b) with NOT beeping out actual profanity but something totally harmless is basically the same as using a) in the first place because of b), therefore "goto a)".

infinitely_loop(a,b,c)

next: editing of "lmao" and "roflmao" and "wtf" for hidden profanity, anyone?

I really don't understand, honestly.

Still, i'm going to look to find something else because i cant use my funny video anymore because of circular logic... bleh. BRB.

Edit: Dio was faster. That atleast is a bit better for an explanation. Not that i like it more now, but still...

(This reminds me that i couldn't find something referencing to Dio ... looking for some coffee jokes or stuff like that :D)
