Brittney Spears, dead at age 26

Of course.

Regardless, that link wasn't misleading in any way. Either way, I would think it dumb to be banned for it, and I still disagree with D3v's ban. Zero Tolerance=Zero Intelligence.

I was being sarcastic in Brittney Spears being dead. Do you honestly think if she really died I would post a youtube video? Jesus christ, there would atleast be a news story pasted along with it.

I don't think the youtube video is what got you banned. The first link you posted was made to LOOK like a news story but it linked to something completely different.

Oh yeah durka dur. Even still, We have tons of nerds on here that actually look at the hyperlink before clicking.

But there are still some that will click the link without looking. You could just as easily link to a trojan. That's WW's point, I believe. My problem with that is he's taking an all or nothing stance on it, when there is a lot of gray area in the middle. I don't think someone should be banned for rickrolling, I do think someone should be banned for posting a fake link that goes to a trojan or to a website where they gain something from getting clicks.

We do all have brains and we should be able to think "Is this bad enough to warrant a ban?" Your post wasn't harmful in any way, you gained nothing from it, and if anything you probably gave a few people some laughs. It was just more activity for the forums, that was in no way harmful, so in turn WW banned you for a day and decreased activity on the forums, over a stupid technicality.

I think that's bullshit, but unfortunately for you, I don't call the shots.

Well, I made a revamp rules thread a while back and every point I tried to create was shot down, I don't really know what else we can do. Maybe just get over it and drone to the shitty rules.

Possibly make a poll? Maybe that will sway WW's decision.
