People who post in my threade automatically swear fealty to me, there are exceptions but he's not one of them. :P

Is it not possible that your off-topic posts were caused by this fabricated rule made up by Deloria as an excuse to sue you?! :o

:P

I'll rephrase the question (since CC's not here XD):

Would you state, on your reputation as an Honorable Marshmellow XD, that you have heard of any such treasonous rule any time prior to Deloria's posting?

I had never heard of the rule until she made that post, and even then, I'm not a citizen of her queendom. I shouldn't be forced to follow her rules outside of it. :P

Thank you. :)

And for the record, you used to be a member of the forum staff. 8) In fact, you were a moderator for this very section, correct?

Correct. Keeping Haven in order was one of my main tasks.

No offense Neil, but it was kind of an automatic thing, you can see that most everyone who posted in there swore allegiance to me regardless of  the rule. :P

So, as a moderator, would you say it was your duty to contribute spam or to clean it up?  8)

Cleaning it up was my duty, though I hesitated. I didn't think it had gotten messy enough to clean up yet.

Ok, so just to clarify everything.  You were and I were not the only people spamming during that time.  In fact, you mentioned Raforever, Rosella, OB and even Deloria herself as potential spammers.  Secondly, Deloria conjured up a rule, in the hopes of making you go even further off-topic.  And finally, you mentioned how a forum moderator, even a Haven one, has a duty to keep threads clean.

No further questions, Your Honour. 8)

Objection! The rule is neither heinous nor treasonous (how could it be? :P). It's automatic, usually, and at the same time, they get a title and lands and a place at court. Those who don't swear fealty to me, don't get that! :P

The rule was not in the hopes of making the conversation go further off-topic, it was so my court knew that I was their leige and that anyone who posted in my thread had some obligation to feel as though they were in my kingdom and therefore under my rule. :P

Your Honour, this thread is not Deloria's, and thus this court is not hers either.  Her claim to treason has no place in this court of law, and therefore the accusation used against Jafar bears no merit in this case. :jafar:

We'll have to wait for CC to decide whether the objection is sustained or not before you can call your next witness. XD

The Court sees no evidence of Deloria's rule being made up to further off-topic communication so the OBJECTION is SUSTAINED.
Defense may ask the witness another question. If not, he is free to go.

Of course this is not Deloria's court. Whatever made you think of that? Jafar is not on trail here, he's only a witness, so he's not accused of anything. 8)

The defense submits into evidence Exhibit C, the trail of off-topicness triggered by this "alledged" rule XD:

That's not a sue-worthy offense. ;P

I call it treason :P
Quote from: Jafar on June 18, 2006, 01:53:40 PM
That was hardly treasonous. ;P
Quote from: Deloria on June 18, 2006, 01:55:29 PM
Definition of treason: 
disloyalty by virtue of subversive behavior


While the first post is on-topic, the following four are posted outside a court of law. :P Jafar was forced to respond in post #4 of Exhibit C to simply defend himself against the accusation. 

So, my question to Jafar is simple: Was your off-topic post in Exhibit C in direct response to Deloria, or was it not?  8)

With all due respect, we are arguing about whether it's a sue-worthy offense, therefor, it can be considered on-topic. :P

No, this isn't my court. What led you to believe that? :P (I was referring to my royal court :P).

You cannot sue anyone for being disloyal (or committing treason) to yourself outside of your thread. The only thing to do against that, is kick them out of your court.
Will legal counsel (or if the party has no legal counsel, the party itself) please approach the bench?

[spoiler]Just so you know, there are 3 possible sentences I can make:
1) the posts stay as they are
2) the posts get split to 'Useless Conversation'
3) the posts will be deleted, and each deleted post will decrease the user's affected post count by one[/spoiler]
