VGMusic.com Messages of Moderation and Love

α-(g)-1: Nice work.

α-(g)-2: Good show, old chap.

α-(g)-3: I really like what you've done with the place.

α-(g)-4: Keep it up, we really need more people like you around here.

α-(g)-5: That's what's wrong with you! You need to be kissed! And often. And by someone who knows how.

α-(g)-6: I love you. I find you to be the most beautiful creature that has ever existed on this planet. Will you marry me? If you won't marry me, will you at least allow me to continue my constant obsession with you and not call the police?

α-(g)-7: That tie just goes so great with that spiky hair, has anyone ever told you that? And purple is so your colour.

α-(g)-8: Oh yeah, you got that right.

α-(g)-9: Incredible.

α-(g)-A: I love it. Absolutely love it.

α-(g)-B: Wow, that's impressive.

α-(g)-C: Denial is the first step to a good relationship. Love, trust, and caring can come later.

α-(g)-D: It's good that you're finally coming into the open with this. Now the healing can begin.

α-(r)-1: d00d! 「r 1337!

: Delta (δ): Miscellaneous Activity

δ-(b)-1: Due to content, a branch of this topic has been pruned away, saving the rest of the topic from a horrible fate.

δ-(b)-2: This topic was previously a part of a larger topic somewhere else and was transplanted here where it is relevant.

δ-(b)-3: This topic was previously a part of a larger topic somewhere else and was transplanted here so that it may continue, even though the original topic was locked.

δ-(b)-4: This topic was previously a part of a larger topic somewhere else and was transplanted here so that it may continue, even though the original topic was removed.

δ-(b)-5: There was no particular reason for splitting up this post, I just thought it would be fun.

δ-(b)-6: This branch was part of a different topic, and was cut apart since this section has nothing to do with the original topic.

δ-(b)-7: This is the official Admin/Mod Stamp Of Approval. It is used to indicate support of something said in a previous post by a non-personnel visitor which probably got the "But you're not an admin, so why should I listen to you" response. This means that the previous message now has the support of the Forum Control Entities, and should be considered to carry the full weight of a statement made by an admin or moderator.

δ-(b)-8: This is the official Admin/Mod Stamp Of Disapproval. It is used to indicate a complete lack of support of something said in a previous post by a non-personnel visitor which probably got the "But you're not an admin, so why should I listen to you" response. This means that the previous message has no support from the Forum Control Entities, and should be considered to be the mere worthless flapping of the fingertips by someone who should mind their own damn business and let the admins and moderators do their jobs without interference or misguided "Help".

δ-(b)-9: The content, tone, style, or manner of this topic is heading toward a locking. Please continue this topic differently in order to avoid such a fate for it.

δ-(b)-A: This topic is leading to a flame war. Please cease this line of conversation immediately or face topic locking and possible banning.

δ-(b)-B: That file has been taken care of.

δ-(b)-C: Read the board guidelines before posting plagiarized file reports.

: Epsilon (ε): Information

ε-(g)-1: That question, along with many others, has already been answered in the FAQ. It is highly recommended that you check there before asking any question.

ε-(g)-2: No, you can't change your own title and those who can won't change it for you. You'll just have to accept the standard title path, just like everyone else.

ε-(g)-3: This is a message board, not a chat room. Responses are rarely immediate. It can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days for there to be a response, if one comes at all.

ε-(g)-4: That term is defined in the glossary.

ε-(g)-5: Check the new-files. I think what you're looking for is there.

ε-(g)-6: Have you tried looking in the archive at all? I think what you're looking for is already there.

ε-(g)-7: Have you tried looking at the front page lately?

ε-(g)-8: Five goals, no assists! Lefty is the KING, baby!

ε-(g)-9: 3000 pts -- Rainbow Bonus! You used three or more different coloured MOMALs in a single post!

ε-(g)-A: That game has Redbook audio, so pop it in a CD player and you can listen to it. Mind the data track, though.

ε-(g)-B: You seem to be confusing the words "Sequence" and "Compose". Perhaps you should read the glossary.

ε-(a)-1: Have you looked in the FAQ? It's answered there already.

ε-(a)-2: "I'm not saying it's safe for humans. I'm not saying its unsafe for humans. All I'm saying is it that it makes hermaphrodites of frogs."

ε-(a)-3: PATIENCE! Yeesh. You have to wait a little bit longer than that. I suggest you read the FAQ for guidelines about post timing.

ε-(r)-1: Read the FAQ right now. Read the whole thing. You seem to have a serious problem understanding the simple fact that all the questions you have asked have already been answered. That's the purpose of the FAQ, you see, to clear the forums of garbage like this, questions that get asked a million times. You are very likely to be banned the next time you ask a question that the FAQ addresses. Got it?

: Zeta (ζ): Directives

ζ-(g)-1: Please, for your benefit, take a moment to read the FAQ.

ζ-(g)-2: Since this conversation is primarily between the two of you, perhaps it would be better to take it to private messages or e-mail.

ζ-(g)-3: I've seen all those words before. Separately, they make perfect sense. However, you have discovered a way of arranging them so that they no longer make any sense at all. None of them. They don't even make sense separately anymore. I must applaud you and your masterful skills of obfuscation. Now, for those in the audience who are not code-talkers, would you please restate that question?

ζ-(g)-4: That post is a Wish. It belongs on the appropriate Wishlist.

ζ-(g)-5: This post is not on-topic on this board. Have you considered registering a username so that you will be able to post this and future topics on the appropriate boards?

ζ-(g)-6: You know, the sequencers who look at this board don't get anything for what they do. As such, they're not going to be very likely to want to give someone with an attitude like that what they want. Try being polite and friendly. Maybe even use the word "Please" on occasion. That might meet with more success.

ζ-(g)-7: I highly recommend that you read the FAQ section regarding image size restrictions, as your image is in violation of the size limit.

ζ-(g)-8: You might want to get your keyboard checked, it's alternating cases of the letters in some of the words you're writing, which is generally an indication of a problem with either the user or the shift key.

ζ-(g)-9: You can edit your own posts, so if you make a mistake or leave something out, please edit it, rather than making a new post.

ζ-(g)-A: You can delete your own posts, so when you fix a problem in a second post, it's good to remember to remove the first.

ζ-(g)-B: It's "Kalrac".

ζ-(g)-C: Spaces and certain other characters (Quotes and apostrophes) are not good to have in filenames. For the sake of compatibility, please limit filenames to using letters, numbers, underscores ( _ ), and dashes ( - ).

ζ-(g)-D: If you're going to respond about someone's signature, please be sure to make it clear what you're doing. Otherwise you're likely to leave everyone completely confused as to what you're talking about.

ζ-(g)-E: Your signature is a wonderful place for site advertisements, you know. That way you get to have a link in every post without making it look like you're desperate for hits.

ζ-(g)-F: It's fine to upload your original work to the Sequencing board, but please do not upload every single change you make to it. Upload only significant changes. In general, there should be no more than three posts of the same song: A preview "Look what I'm doing", a preliminary "Look what I've done", and a final "That's it, I'm finished".

ζ-(g)-10: Please read all replies to a topic before posting one yourself. There's really no point in repeating what someone else said yesterday.

ζ-(g)-11: Please do not attach a file that is not relevant to your message. It is a waste of space on our server.

ζ-(g)-12: We are a video game music archive. That song, to the best of my knowledge, is not from a video game, therefore, asking for it here isn't going to be much help.

ζ-(g)-13: Post less. Say more.

ζ-(a)-1: Read the FAQ.

ζ-(a)-2: Private messages and e-mail are both perfect for this sort of thing. They keep personal conversations like this from filling up the boards.

ζ-(a)-3: Uh... Eh... Huh? Could you, uh, repeat that, but only this time try and make sense with it. I think that would be good. Then we might be able to respond...

ζ-(a)-4: Have you considered looking for a website that's actually relevant to what you're talking about and discussing it there? We don't care about it here.

ζ-(a)-5: Maybe if you registered and posted on the appropriate board, you'd get better responses and have fewer posts locked or deleted.

ζ-(a)-6: Maybe you should read the "Proper Request Manners" and try again. Requests of this type are likely to get you instantly hated by those who are most likely to fulfill your request.

ζ-(a)-7: Could you be a touch more specific about that? For the most part, we don't have psychic abilities (And those of us that do have them haven't learned how to fully focus them yet), so we're not quite sure what exactly you're talking about here.

ζ-(a)-8: Some of us, believe it or not, still measure our connection speed in kilobits per second. That means your image is taking forever to download and making people very angry. Make it a smaller file size (Say, less than 20K) or we will hurt you.

ζ-(a)-9: Let me put the simple truth in front of you: HaXXor tExT MakeZ u l00k like @n !d!0+.

ζ-(a)-A: Don't you remember your spelling rules? L before R, especially after K. "Kalrac", got it?

ζ-(a)-B: We just got done talking about this. We don't want to talk about it again. Please check back a few days' worth of posts to see if what you want to say was just recently said before posting.

ζ-(a)-C: Look, if your file attachment has nothing to do with your message, there's no sense in attaching it.

ζ-(a)-D: Patience and silence are both virtues. Be virtuous.

ζ-(a)-E: Hey! Listen!

ζ-(r)-1: Read the FAQ. The WHOLE thing. Follow what it says and ask no questions that it answers or you will be clobbered upside the head with a rather large stick, do you understand?

ζ-(r)-2: Look, the rest of us don't really want to spend our time reading about your pathetic little love affair. Take this conversation to private messages or e-mail. or be prepared to face the consequences, such as message deletion, banning, or possibly even harsh ridicule.

ζ-(r)-3: I just thought you should know that you're a blithering incoherent idiot who has disgraced the entire English language with your ill-formed nonsense.

ζ-(r)-4: I can pretty much guarantee that acting like such a jackass isn't going to get anyone to want to make any file you ask for. In fact, they're going to band against you and actively NOT make your requests. You don't seem to have any concept of "Courtesy", and as such, you're not going to get anything you want. The moral: DEMANDING SOMETHING DOES NOT WORK. Continue with this attitude and watch as your posts get deleted.

ζ-(r)-5: Karlac? There is no Karlac. Can't you read? K-A-L-R-A-C. How hard is that? Is there something seriously wrong with you?

ζ-(r)-6: Your message ends somewhere. Your signature begins somewhere. If you do not alter your signature to make it clear where this separation is, we will be forced to separate you from your messages.

ζ-(r)-7: You may have missed the concept when it was presented before, but do not attach irrelevant files. If it has nothing to do with your message, it has no place being here.

: Eta (η): Warnings

η-(g)-1: This topic was old and buried. Please take note of a post's date before responding. Chances are, if it's too old, no one cares about it anymore, so responding will just cause clutter.

η-(g)-2: Bumping posts is highly discouraged at this site. It is not fair to other visitors and fills up the forums with clutter.

η-(g)-3: Even though the site may not have been updated recently, the new-files should contain the latest music uploaded to the site.

η-(g)-4: Unless a post was specifically directed to you, or you have some reason to believe it was aimed in your direction, do not respond with "I don't know" or "I've never heard of that" or something similar. "I don't know" is worthless, it doesn't help. Not only that, but a post to their topic gets the hopes of the person who made raised. They expect a response, a good response, something helpful, something useful.

η-(g)-5: You're flood posting, you know. We don't like flood posting.

η-(g)-6: That displeases the overlord. The last one to do that was wished to the cornfield.

η-(a)-1: Please do not revive dead posts.

η-(a)-2: If you keep complaining about a lack of updates, you're simply going to push the next update even further back because the person that would have done the update will have to explain to you why there hasn't been an update instead of doing the update itself.

η-(a)-3: If you have nothing to say, say nothing. Don't waste space on the boards by telling us you don't have anything to say.

η-(a)-4: If you don't know what someone's talking about and you're not a part of the conversation, don't say anything. We don't need your ignorance corrupting otherwise good posts.

η-(a)-5: We don't like people who bump posts, you know. Continue doing so and we might just have to bump you...

η-(a)-6: We find that to be quite annoying. Don't do it again.

η-(a)-7: Talking in ALL CAPS IS FAR MORE ANNOYING than talking in all lower case. If you're too lazy to learn proper use of the shift key, please leave the entire message in lower case. Caps Lock is not a key to be wielded by untrained amateurs.

η-(a)-8: Please lay off the exclamation points. One is enough, two is plenty, and greater than or equal to three is too many. People don't tend to want to read messages with a line and a half of exclamation points, it gives them headaches. I already have a headache, and don't want another.

η-(a)-9: Hey, you know, I think you're overusing MOMALs just a tad. Please lay off them for a while, would you?

η-(a)-A: Unfounded complaints about people posting junk to boost one's title are considered junk done solely to boost one's title.

η-(a)-B: No one wants to respond to your message. How hard is that to understand?

η-(r)-1: You seem to have a serious problem with reading the time on posts. You have revived a number of dead posts. They are dead and should stay dead. You're annoying a large number of people by bringing them back. Cease doing it or face banning.

η-(r)-2: You just don't get it, do you? DON'T BUMP POSTS! Don't revive them, don't bring them back up unless you have something valuable to add to the topic. No one else is responding to the post, and perhaps that fact should clue you in to the fact that NO ONE CARES about it. Follow me?

η-(r)-3: Excuse me, you have been banned. We have not banned your user ID, we have banned YOU. That means you're not allowed to post. AT ALL. That's what banned means, get it? By posting while banned, you risk being banned for a further amount of time and having your access to the entire site cut off.

η-(r)-4: Oh, shut up. See that little A Bubble next to my name? That means I can do whatever the hell I want and you're not allowed to complain.

: Theta (θ): Travel Advisories

θ-(g)-1: Expect lengthy border delays travelling both in and out of the country. Bring ID and proof of citizenship. Be prepared to be searched. It is recommended that you not attempt to smuggle Asians or drugs into the country at the current time.

θ-(g)-2: Pay careful attention to the road markings at the roundabout as soon as you get there, noting that "LOCAL" should be considered meaningless. Do not dwell on this if you wish to avoid spells of dizziness.

θ-(g)-3: There aren't any travel instructions nowadays, so really watch out for the M6.

θ-(a)-1: Unless you have an overwhelming desire to meet God, it is not recommended that you travel to the Holy Land at this time.

θ-(r)-1: Avoid the entire state of Nevada.

: Iota (ι): Side Comments

ι-(a)-1: I don't care about the Nisga'a. I don't care about the hoop dance. And I'd care even less if I had any idea what the hell you are talking about.

ι-(a)-2: Data equipment at the end of an evolution and lieu of a letter the ones who pay.

ι-(a)-3: I'm the operator with my pocket calculator. I am adding and subtracting. I'm controlling and composing. By pressing down a special key, it plays a little melody.

ι-(a)-4: The batteries are in the tail and THE TAIL'S NOT HERE!

ι-(r)-1: That would be great for indecisive amputees on a clothing optional beach.

ι-(r)-2: Nobuo Uematsu.

ι-(r)-3: Off over there, only slightly to the left to compensate.

ι-(r)-4: Wine el harba wine, gouli gouli ya meskin.

ι-(r)-5: It's the square root of PI. No, I don't have a clue why that is, that's just what it is.

: Kappa (κ): Insults

κ-(a)-1: You, good sir, are a complete buffoon.

κ-(a)-2: You, good madam, are a complete buffoon.

κ-(a)-3: You, good person of unknown/undecided/undefined gender, are a complete buffoon.

κ-(a)-4: I think they have good medication for that now. You might want to look into it.

κ-(a)-5: Have you considered the novel concept of actually READING posts before responding to them?

κ-(a)-6: Moron.

κ-(a)-7: Am not!

κ-(a)-8: Are too!

κ-(a)-9: Who in the hell told you to wear that tie with your hair looking like that? And purple? Where'd you get the idea that would look good on you?

κ-(a)-A: Where did I say anything that makes you think that I care?

κ-(r)-1: For the love of all things cute and cuddly, would you please just shut up and go away? We're all tired of hearing what you have to say, and I think some of the regulars are about to start selling cyanide pills, so please, just leave!

κ-(r)-2: I'd ask that you'd open your mind, but when it's only that size, I guess it can't open that much.

κ-(r)-3: You know, I find it strange, but I've never actually wished that anyone be violently dismembered until just now when I read your post.

κ-(r)-4: I used to think osmium was the densest thing around. Now I know I'm wrong.

κ-(r)-5: Are you really that thick-headed, or are you just wearing too much hair gel today?

κ-(r)-6: Being able to still talk with one foot in your mouth is amazing, but having the ability to put a second foot in and keep going, that's just absolutely incredible! That takes some talent.

: Lambda (λ): Computable Functions

λ-(b)-1: (define f (lambda (n) (cond ((< n 2) 1) (else (+ (f (- n 2)) (f (- n 1)))))))

λ-(b)-2: (defun cartprod (l1 l2) (cond ((null l1) '()) (t (append (map 'list (lambda (x) (list (car l1) x)) l2) (cartprod (cdr l1) l2)))))

λ-(b)-3: Looks like you're running late today, Dr. Freeman.

λ-(b)-4: int f(int n){return ((n<=0)?0:((n>2)?(f(n-1)+f(n-2)):1));}

: Mu (μ): Other/Unclassified

μ-(b)-1: You have been previously warned by a staff member not to do what you have done. Please stop and do not do it again. If you do not listen to this warning, we may take further action, including, but not limited to, message deletion or banning.

μ-(b)-2: I've ignored 98% of all the past suggestions that have been made for new MOMALs and I have no intention of starting to pay attention to them now.

μ-(b)-3: Just a quick reminder: You're not a mod or admin, so quit acting like one. The board administrators are quite capable of deciding for themselves what needs to be locked or deleted or who needs to be banned, and they don't need you giving suggestions every few minutes.

μ-(b)-4: That's actually not a mistake, that was done intentionally, just to see if there'd be freaks like you who'd notice. Looks like there were.

μ-(b)-5: No, these things aren't linked statically from anywhere on the site. They're not going to be, either. They're not a list of codified rules to be read, memorized, recited, and deified. They're just an unimportant sideshow utility to the main parade, the forum rules, the FAQ, and its relatives. They're quick and common canned responses for when a message fits into a certain class that has a quick and common response. Any importance anyone places on this listing is purely artificial and should be corrected through appropriate psychological measures as soon as possible.

μ-(b)-6: Perhaps you should direct that suggestion to the phpBB development team. They are far more likely to incorporate that kind of addition to the forums than we are.

μ-(b)-7: I've read what you said, and I feel I understand it completely. However, I feel entirely indifferent about that subject.

μ-(g)-1: I think MOMALs are stupid and anyone that uses them is lazy and stupid themselves.

μ-(g)-2: This MOMAL intentionally left blank.

μ-(g)-3: Don't you know that it's safer to leave questions like that unasked?

μ-(g)-4: This isn't a threaded system, so technically there are no threads anymore. Lots of people still talk about threads since that's what they're used to, though, and I don't really see why they should stop, as this isn't the only forum in the world, after all.

μ-(g)-5: Only officials can keep official counts.

μ-(a)-1: You know... It turns out there isn't an MOMAL that covers this after all... There should be one, though.

μ-(r)-1: Wow, I'm getting rusty... I just added one to four and got ten. Must be using base-5 numbers now.

: Nu (ν): Apologies
