The Fourth Annual NSM Superlatives

[MaestroUGC]

From the Desk of the Forum Moderators:

Poor taste is not against the rules. Apparently.

Then message me or something so I know you guys actually do things and don't always sit on your asses.

Wait that was 3 days ago. What was it over out of curiosity?

[Altissimo]

Maestro is doing his duty -- to show an example of one ENJOYING the Superlatives. It's a game; have some fun.

[Dude]

Why is it when MLF is a dick to Ruto he gets nothing but when I was a dick 3 years ago I get warned?

Well, if the mods shan't take action and the "Bringer of Magnificence" is out on his daily ego trip, seems the best we can do is explain why Sebastian's comment was in poor taste, ask for an apology, and regardless of that outcome, ultimately, move on.

Also, this

Then message me or something so I know you guys actually do things and don't always sit on your asses.

Even if something isn't technically against the rules, more communications from mods to regular NSMers would be immensely helpful in cutting down on the general level of hostility.

Also: From the Forum Etiquette Guide:

- "I've typed up a post, can I just hit 'Post'?" Haha, no! Did you proofread it yet? Some things to check for:
 - Is what I said clear and easily understood by other people?
 - How's my spelling/grammar?
 - Can this in any way be construed as an attack on another member?
 - Is what I'm saying knowingly controversial or otherwise intending to spark a fight?
 - Do I intend to earnestly discuss what I'm going to post, or am I just looking for some amusement?
 - Would I get upset if this post was directed to me, or if it implied the opposite of what I'm saying?
 - We're not going to tell you what the answers should be, instead we're just going to highlight the "Don't be a Dick" rule; the Golden Rule of the Internet.

In addition..

2) If you feel like you or any other member is being attacked or harassed use the REPORT BUTTON to bring it to the Moderators' attention. The Moderators have really thick skins so sometimes it's hard for us to judge what people feel is an attack. Report it and we'll act accordingly.

It's just... it makes me sad seeing all this. I just don't understand why this is worth pursuing. It could have been fun, but instead we made it into a finger-pointing contest. I just want us to have fun.

[mikey]

also it seems that a few select members really don't like the superlatives, perhaps after these are done we should put them on hiatus for about a year?
