I've noticed that whenever anyone mentions mind control, a their post appears to be edited to the effect that there is no such thing.
While obviously there is no mind control and I will go back to my fun, I'm really curious as to whether this is:
1. Mods messing about while reading the forums.
2. A joke that has spread enough people create the effects for themselves.
3. A find-and-replace script.

There is no mind control, citizen. Go back to your fun. To be honest, it was a joke started by Roland, and people just copy it now.Quote:

Imagine if the mods just went around randomly changing people's posts.
What a bunch hate-filled, awThere is no mind control, citizen. Go back to your funsometastic , beautiful people who I love and respect.
Seriously, they don't do that. Though if they invite you to come see the shredder, run. Just run. We've lost too many good posters to this bloodthirsty ruse.
The "There is no mind control, citizen. Go back to your fun." meme got started by Roland posting it as part of an official mod-reply to a thread. Because there is no mind control, and we should return to our fun.
This meme is a good deal more tolerated than the fake-{Scrubbed} meme... possibly because Roland finds it amusing.
What are you talking about stu-{Scrubbed}.Quote:

i.e., it's unfunny, childish, and only posted by I will go back to my fun, there is no mind c
^^^^^^
All that stuff.
It's just people typing in red text.
...Or is it?
It is.Quote:

OH, CRAP! NOW I HAVE TO KIDNAP MYSELF!
... Aaaaaaanyway. :smalltongue:
It's sort of like those fruits that monkeys stereotypically eat, but we don't talk about them here.
DUDE! They warned us about that. Do you want to get put in the shredder?Quote:

Some days I think the mods are all having way too much fun policing the playground. Then I notice how much spam they clean up and realize it isn't all fun and games.
Actually, I came in after the banana incident. What was that all about?
... I don't get it.
But, on the offchance that it's a meme about not saying 'em, welll...
BANANA BANANA BANANA!
Behold, I am a ninja who is one with the night. I hid the truth lest there is no mind control citizen. Go Back to your fun. get me. I think I'll go back to my fun now.Quote:

EDIT: Actually, I should go back to reading ninja posts. :P
The question is, whose mind control is more powerful: Roland's or Harbinger from Mass EffeI AM ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL
...As Rawhide figures out some code to replace all the "Last Edited By -USER-" thing to "Last Edited By Roland St. Jude" just to mess with everyone.
I think this may have gotten out of hand...
Of course it has, so many people trying to break away from there is no mind control citizen, go back to your fun
Sheriff of Moddingham: I heard you like moderation in your moderation, so I put mind control denial in your mind control denial thread so you can go back to your fun while you're going back to your fun.
Brilliant.Quote:
