Even though this "fad" is way past it's prime, some still feel the need to dredge it up. Let's let old Rick die the death he so needs to, eh? Thanks for your help.

I am wondering why posting rickrolls is considered trolling while the antics of TheProwler and wrestler1ump aren't.
Do you have a special dictionary in which words have a different meaning from everybody else's? Why did you include trolling as an offense in the Flame Wars-etiquette but didn't actually stop people from trolling? (Except for those you deem unfit like Norse and chaosfactor.)

Does your dictionary also have a different meaning for the word "Consistency"?

Well, you see, most people are like wrestler1ump (you know...retarded). What I just said is considered trolling because most people are offended by the fact that they are dumb as bricks. The problem isn't so much consistency as it is stupidity.

All too true I suppose, I just can't graps the fact they're missing the hypocrisy which is so blatant.

While that idea sounds nice in theory, it actually means people won't be notified of the reason for it. Why don't you guys come out and say why it's like this in public? Why hide behind "pm the mods" comments?

I would like to hide behind one of the Mods

Because twill was the one to define rickrolling as trolling here on CC, that's why you'll need to talk to him about why that was done. This isn't hiding, rather directing you to the right department.

Suggs! Get out from behind me!
