It has occured to me that in spite of the Lindens hovering over this forum like a vulture over a rotting carcass (with no disrespect to the lindens, but with much to the behavior in the forums), people continue to play forum police, cluttering the boards with trash.
Why do you do this?

It's not, it's just playing forum police. The lindens to the actual policing. If there was actually something useful or beneficial happening, I would probably not have posted this silly poll

I don't clutter the forums with trash. I clutter them with inane witticisms that no one else will listen to.
 Wait. That is trash. Oh well, back to the sponsor. _____________________

When in doubt and confronted with a "rotting carcass", Report Bad Post, explain why, and return to business... simple and clean, and doesn't fan flames with more outbursts of hostile language.
The very volume of the Forums is time-consuming for the Lindens to monitor the forums, and so they cannot read everything. Within the TOS, it helps to watch out for ourselves and for each other. _____________________

Ya' know I never really considered myself the forum Police.
Well not as much as I considered myself a Historian. Thus if reitterating history to coincide with the current topics is a form of Policing. Then ...I prolly need to shoot myself as that would go against my own principles of battling Governmental insurgency. Shadow _____________________

'their' always kills me
 I always spell it Their. It's that 'i' before 'e' except after 'c' rule. I spell it "their" and then I stop to think about it to make sure I have it, and still screw it up See, I have even confused myself again. It's their and not their right? blah... forget it |

I don't police, I troll.
Goal: make a remark that will spawn the most replies of any kind (the fouler the better) with the least actual effort. Occassionally I will say "Oh, shut up already!". Like when a certain land baroness bitched at another wanna-baron for doing his own thing and not rolling over for her. And.... every once in awhile... I'll say something intelligent. |

To rid the world of minors. Both worlds. The only GOOD minor is a half-eaten minor.

Remember real life police relies on people to file reports of crimes, too.

None of this is really forum policing. Its more like a combination of forum littering, forum villany and the forum equivalent of adopt a highway programs.

mmm, a one-sided poll?
 This is actually a statement of opinion, not a poll... Why do you play forum police? [ ] Because I have no life, and it makes me feel important. [ ] Other ...translates to an opinion sort of like... "People who play forum ploice have no life, and are self-important." |

Why, yes. Yes it does.
It is -not- intended to imply that I have a life myself, however. _____________________
