Default To those who are sick of parody threads

Post something entertaining. Teh OT boredom level is starting to simmer up again. I can feel it. If we don't get some good threads going, Yesterday's clonefest will be tame compared to the hell that could potentially be unleashed.

As for me, I got nothing.

Edit: damn. too late.

Not trying to do a parody here...

With all the drama lately over parody threads, what should happen. This is a pole in progress so wait a damn minute.

seriously though, this is OT. Parodies are funnay, OT is funnay (sometimes) so what's the big deal. Parodies in the other forums would be dumb but in here they're not bad (unless the whole first page is parodies)... Sometimes the parody thread are better than the original thread...

we could start a parody and swear filter dodge thread, and it would remain unlocked and we would not receive points.

I like the "turn a blind eye" option. But hey, I'm an idealist. The fact of the matter is, too many folks think "how short are you?" is a good parrody for "how long are you? (off the tee?)"

That sucks. No, it more than sucks. It kfoote/10s. If we could convince people to exercise some self-control and limit themselves to one parrot a week (and to learn from the members numbered 40k-60k who are the parrot masters), then we'd be fine without points/moderation.

It's not like parrodies are NWS. Banning parrots is anti-OT to me.

little people need to feel powerful. Notice the new mods in O/T?

I miss wagonmonster. He was the king of the mods.

The ideal solution is a social one, where the community can inflict real consequences on the creator of bad parodies. I'd like the mods to be able to mark a parody thread with s single click. Then, it automatically gets a poll with 1-hour timer. If the majority votes that the parody is worthy before the poll closes, the OP gets our respect and 27 virgins in heaven. If not, they get X points or a ban. I think this is the best idea, but I'm not going to seriously suggest it... Anything that takes technical changes or more work for the mods isn't a real answer.

Hey!

We had some legitimate mini-golf discussion in that thread.

Bac Doc had a good one the other day with the 'Jard in a wheelchair' parroty...well played and got a few of us.

Sadly, only 1.758% of the Parrotys are like that.

I think that as long as threads and posts are work safe, as per Nick's rules, parody threads shouldn't be an issue.

I just love how people talk about this forum as if it actually mattered. All OT is is a place to keep General and the other forums on topic. It was annoying to have to sift through threads with titles like "OT- Did you see the latest Simpsons?" in the general forum.

Things in here are generally funny, and sometimes they get a bit out of hand, but it's never anything damaging (unless you count one moderator's piracy antics. ).

Some of you need to climb down off your high horses, as if your threads are some great contribution to our collective intelligence.

The fact that mods tend to clamp down and flip out over parody threads is ridiculous, considering how they never respond to individual, problem members in a timely manner, no matter how many reported posts they get.
