textbook trolling.  the graph of how homosexual he is
And by Pro-American Yank, I mean the people think that he's some Arrogant American (yankee) and they don't get his sarcasm.
He's not even American

He's Canadian which is so hilarious because Canada is supposed to be this angelic liberal utopia.

What's there to bash tho ? The girl is on top of the charts and will probably outsell most of the girls in your signature combined within a week. Know your place in the food chain, nikita !

I know it's trolling, I said I didn't think it's intelligent but I don't know him and don't really give a **** about him, I just noticed k$ brought him up and i recalled this thread.
Oh that's what it means, never heard it, thank you sis

Thank you for recognizing this, because it can be really quite irritating.

Tumblr is is no way comparable with ATRL. They have hundreds of servers in an efficient Database cluster with employees working in their very own datacenter to keep things running smoothly. ATRL clearly cannot afford any of this. Not even comparable in the slightest.

This is getting ridiculous... two of my threads have been closed within minutes of me posting them, even though there was absolutely nothing wrong with them.
Firstly, this one: http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=658618
I understand it could have got out of hand but it hadn't when it was closed and it was only meant to be a bit of fun.
And just now, this one: http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=659410
And I have no idea how anything could possibly be wrong with this one?? I was just posting a list??
Is there a mod who hates me or sth? Can you enlighten me?

ATRL is strict, but there's a balance -- more on that later. Stricter forums do exist (standard response), but ATRL is no doubt restrictive in terms of what you can or cannot say. For instance, a simple statement such as, "Lady Gaga really is very ugly" will get you warned. It's not a positive opinion, but it's not anything that should warrant a consequence.
This doesn't happen on other forums and is specific to the ATRL model.
That being said, the "restrictiveness" of ATRL is balanced out by its attentive staff and clear-cut, simple-to-follow rules. In recent years, the rules have been streamlined to leave less and less "gray area," therefore becoming more straightforward in order avoid any confusion. But where ATRL sets itself apart from other forums, is the hands-on moderating team. The staff is always available and approachable with any questions or disputes. The staff have a definite presence on ATRL, as opposed to other forums, where the staff feel virtually non-existent, not to mention unattainable. Furthermore, in my experience, depending on the forum, moderators tend to have a strange god complex, and as a result, are condescending when addressing members needs, if they even address members at all. This doesn't really happen often on ATRL among the staff. They are helpful and almost have a humour about moderating, which is refreshing to see.
So, in conclusion, yes, ATRL is strict, but the staff does a good job to counteracts the restrictiveness by being present and willing to help with any questions regarding any type of complaint, as well as to help fully explain why a member received a warning, which in turn, helps a member avoid more warnings in the future. You'd be hard-pressed to find that on other forums. Not to mention, one could be instantly banned for just "very adamantly disagreeing" or "challenging" a mod on other forums -- "Disrespect" (remember, god complex). For example, take a stroll through ATRL HQ these past few days and look at how some members rudely address the staff, almost as if they're owed something. On other forums, these type of members wouldn't even be here the next day, so be grateful for the patience the ATRL staff possess.

NeoGAF for example is far more strict. I have seen members banned there for stepping out of line on a single post. If a moderator sees you making a fool of yourself, you will be swiftly and harshly (depending on the severity of the content) banned. There is no point system on that forum, and that is what makes it more legitimate. It is held in a higher regard because it is a PRIVILEGE to post there.

GREAT posts.

Nope, it'd get added as soon as the payment has been received and seen by an admin.
