Tell me, how much of this forum is civil and quality discussion. Plus, you implied that we needed to infer meaning from where this thread was made, and I said something completely stupid. It’s basically what moira popcorn is, you don’t know what the posters meaning is, unless they write it out precisely.
I purposely said that, because the same could be said about Moira popcorn. It is an image so you don’t know the intention of use without the poster writing it out precisely.
If you don’t know what is meant, that is not aiding a constructive dialogue. In order to have a constructive dialogue, you have to give the person you are conversing with something with meaning they can understand and respond to.
And non-constructive posts are spam, according to the COC.
In addition, if someone uses a symbol without explanation, then they must accept that it will be interpreted using the most common usage definition of that symbol. And the most common usage definition of that symbol “I am not here to reply, I am here to watch. This is gonna be controversial/dramatic/etc,” is also not constructive.
Then the OP has to accept that what I said before could go. They didn’t specify, I had to guess.
No. They do not. Because yours was not a reasonable interpretation. This is off-topic because they could be talking about Reddit, in an OP that doesn’t even mention Reddit and is discussing an Overwatch forum creation, is not a reasonable interpretation. It was invented whole cloth by you, using no supporting information, just so you could argue against a non-existent point.
This forum or this topic?
This topic? Well, almost every single one of my responses has been an attempt at civil and quality discussion.
The forums? Well, that’s quite high actually. In my experience, I’ve seen relatively few topics that haven’t had any kind of discussion of any sort.
Mainly this thread has been ruined by people trying to “meme” and just spam the image. Also, people just insulting me and saying that I’m whining over nothing or something that’s more related to me than the topic.
Not really. I implied that we needed to infer meaning from where this thread’s topic could be applied. Whether it’s in game or on the forums. It’s primarily on the forums, that’s why I said “conversation” as well as “positivity and respect.”
Besides the irony in that statement, I’m pretty sure it’s obvious to anyone that has read the thread that it’s about the forums. Especially with the overabundance of the “meme” being used here.

How about look at the argument before making judgements?
I don’t respect people who don’t care to even acknowledge both sides before picking one. Atleast read it. If that doesn’t change your mind, then that’s okay. But not giving it a chance is ruining your own growth as a human.

But if there is no context of the image, there isn’t a very reasonable interpretation. Maybe you could ask the posters intent and how it relates to the current topic, and if it doesn’t, just report them. If they say that it will be controversial, that is relevant to the current topic, even though it may not add value.
It is. This person just desperately wants you to be breaking the rules too, because you pointed out that the image wasn’t in violation of them. It’s so transparent.
I don’t even agree with you. I think you’re wrong about wanting to ban it. But like, it is so obvious that your thread is on the topic of the Overwatch forums that the suggestion it isn’t is so absurd and egregious, that I am loathe to defend the thread.
Like, c’mon. Be real. This isn’t about Reddit. Obviously.
I don’t know what’s up with you guys.
Seriously, stop doing this, it’s neither hygenic or pleasant, for others or for you, considering this discussion. Just remove it already pal.
I know that it is easy to tell it is for the forums, but there could be a few people who don’t get that. Plus, I don’t think people saying you are over-reacting is insulting unless they do it in an inherently toxic way.
I was just using the reddit thing to show how it could be interpreted differently to what the poster wanted if it wasn’t described specifically. I didn’t actually think that.
If no context is provided for a commonly used symbol, the common usage wins the day. This is how language is able to function, without such a basic rule, there could be no communication. And without language we could not have all the other benefits that came from it like math, science, philosophy, and technology. It also how dictionaries are built.
Posts that don’t add value are against the rules as being non-constructive, under the category of spam.
The most common usage of a symbol is the default meaning, unless you explain yourself. And that symbol is most commonly used to mark a topic to be controversial, and to signal the posters lack of intention of participating but rather being an observer.

Can’t remove posts. Sorry bud. Just mute it and it’ll never be seen by you again.
Until this post is actually dead, I’m gonna defend my points. Because the rebuttals I’ve seen here are largely nothing even related to the post but rather about technicalities. Not to mention the ones that have been attacking me and spamming it is just ridiculous.
But the popcorn could be constructive, because if lots of the posts are popcorn it could be a signal to the OP to make less inflammatory, condescending or unpopular posts. Things like that can be interpreted in many different ways, but your interpretation is not the be all end all.
Let the people meme my friend. I think you’ll live.
Also, why are you so determined to make people stop using a gif?
