Topic: Kongregate / What makes it okay?

Well go make your own awesome flash game website and then you can do whatever you want. Sounds fair to me.

You’re completely missing the point. We’re not talking about my own website, we’re talking about the Kongregate staff breaking their own rule – NO VIDEOS.

Topic: Games / Which MMOG is better? Kongregate, Maplestory, WoW, Battleon, Gaia Online, Dead Frontier or Runescape?

1) Kongregate =/= MMOG. It’s a flash portal.

2) MapleStory = MMOG.

3) WoW = MMOG.

4) BattleOn =/= MMOG. It’s a sucky flash RPG with no online interaction.

5) GaiaOnline =/= MMOG. WTF!?

6) Dead Frontier = MMOG.

7) RuneScape = MMOG.

Topic: Kongregate / What makes it okay?

So you are saying Jim and Emily Greer are not allowed to determine what is allowed on their site?

If I’m reading this correctly, that’s not what I mean. If they want to make a rule “No videos!” and they put up a video anyway, it doesn’t seem right, no matter what the circumstances.

Topic: Kongregate / What makes it okay?

Why would an admin get in trouble for anything that was approved by the site owners? You’re comparing it improperly. If other employees started doing it without permission, they could be removed. But that’s not the same case.

It’s clear that videos are not allowed. But BenV put one up and it’s STILL up. So, if the site owners gave the okay to do so, the rules are not written in stone? BenV is part of the staff, and an exception was made. Once again:

the staff should NOT be an exception to their own rules.

The fact that is was staff and AFD together makes it okay.

Once again, the staff should NOT be an exception to their own rules.

How is that stupid? It makes perfect sense to me.

So, if I become Mayor of a town and make a “NO LITTERING” rule, then litter, it’s a-okay?

@Juice:

That is, by far, the stupidest thing I’ve read in weeks.

So, if this very same thing happened on April 1st, it was just any user (no impersonations), it would be okay?

As sirkoolaid said, BenV didn’t impersonate anyone.

I can’t think of a rebuttal here.

Also, big difference in an April fools joke, and just doing it to try to piss people off.

How do you know the intentions of “ArmorGamess”?

Lastly It’s the staffs site, they can do whatever they want, that’s the beauty of it!

That’s the most pitiful excuse I’ve ever heard. Just because they made the website, they are exceptions to their own rules?

It was just a joke.

So was this.

Was the person banned? If so, then that’s not fair at all.

Agreed.

Because it was April Fools day.

The day of the year makes it okay?

Okay, so BenV Rick Roll’d people with Kongai, so why isn’t he banned? Why isn’t that removed? (you know “Sonny 2” will be removed eventually)

I don’t mean to blow this out of proportion – we all know Rick Roll is annoying and overdone, but why is it okay for the Kongregate staff to do this and no one else? (for example, zakia.)

Topic: Games / FREE ONLINE RPG! over 2 mil playing!!

1) Terrible game.

2) No referral links pl0x.

3) You’re spamming. Of course we hate you.

If you want people to take you seriously, give good reasons to play that game and only post it once. Otherwise, you’re just a spamming adbot.

Topic: Off-topic / Gods Of Time!

1) Should be in games.

2) No referral links. There’s no rule against it like in GameFAQs, but it’s still very annoying.

3) Tried it, boring.
