Now The wandering elmo will come to steal your cookie and then that other nation will come to chase them and punish them

Are there really three equally inane posters here, or are you puppet spamming again? Don't make me check, dude.

Not worry, they’re not puppet. While I do have a puppet, and I sometimes have my puppet like my own posts or do my bidding, it is uncommon, and wandering Elmo is certainly not my puppet

Someone copy pasted the whole script of the Bee Movie, someone then quoted it but replaced the text with no, the pen Mcclandia doge 2 gave Chan island a cookie for using the whole text, the I summoned The wandering elmo to steal the cookie, but the other nation did not follow them to blow them up, thenGlackikaldr did started talking yet again about them Pokémon challenge, then you came, then I wrote this, then I forgot to check my spelling, then it did not mark any sense

In the future, please do not summon Elmo! I don't think we need more Elmo around here.

Would you people please stop the spam? There's Discord and any number of regions where this kind of posting is perfectly normal. Go to any of them and post whatever vacuous sh1t you like. All we ask is to have just one place where there's a modicum of intelligence and a community that's active without having 100+ pointless posts a day.

Middle Barael, I'm calling you out in particular because, God help us, you're being appointed to coordinate the way we represent ourselves to other regions. I have grave reservations about your ability to do that, because your posting does not represent what Forest is about. You probably feel as though things are running along nicely because you're one of a group of lively puppets and new people who post many times each day and dominate the RMB. You may not appreciate how many people are shuddering when they read this stuff, or else giving up on reading it as their region is overrun. Just because they're not saying it doesn't mean they're not thinking it.

Pack it in. Lardyland is that way.

I'm really sorry. I did not think it was spamming, as I wasn't saying the same thing over and over again to fill up the inbox, which is my definition of spamming, but I'm sorry for any harm caused. I simply made one small joke after someone mentioned cookies, but then the Wandering Elmo came and started joking, and then I had to explain what had happened. My usual definition of spamming is something like typing the same letter over and over again in many posts, but I hear what you re saying, and I apologize. While I knew that we usually only do meaningful dialogue, I simply thought of it as a small joke, and so I apologize. i did not expect so much chaos to happen, or really any at all for that matter, so now just in case, I'll try to avoid making anything humorous whatsoever, so that nothing bad can happen.

I'm very sorry, and I will refrain from now on for even the slightest humorous comments. If you have seen my previous RMB posts, you'll know that I usually am not like this, and I sincerely apologize. Usually I am having normal dialogue, although it is true that I am very active, but I should think that enthusiasm are good for a region, no? I never act like this in other regions, although I will be interacting more with the ambassadors than their respective regions. I do not wish to blame this on others, but I feel like this was not entirely my fault, as my one joke and then further explanation of the discussion caused by someone else's Bee Movie comment were all I did, but they led to a flurry of others commenting on Bees and Elmo. I am deeply sorry, and I hope you all can forgive me

Edit: My only puppet is Mowte, and Gandenia is my brother's nation. I have no connection to the Wandering Elmo or the Elmos, although they may be puppets of each other. I have also deleted my prior posts, and I've encouraged people to end this commotion.

Nobody has a problem with humour, it's just that this stuff isn't funny.

It absolutely wasn't, but you're about to be a regional officer, so a higher standard applies to you than to some passing randomer.

Anyway, thank you for your understanding.

100% agree. This is what I wish I'd said in my previous post. We've had spammy and meme-y Foresters come and go, but this is getting to a level that's disruptive to the integrity of the region as a whole. And yeah, withdrawing from the RMB means ceding it to spam and nonsense, so maybe there's some obligation to continue to try to contribute, because I think it's worth saving. But you know what? I'm an old man by internet standards. I'm too tired and too busy.

Fine, so I'll retreat from the RMB unless it is purely academic and/or official. Sorry again

As for it not being funny, I guess I simply have a low brow sense of humour, but there's nothing I can really do about that, other than not posting, which as you know, I am from now on only going to post on academic or official business.

I do know I am a regional officer, but I was never told that I can not make one slightly humourous comment. While I get that we have a higher bar of behavior, I was not expecting this level of chaos, and as I have said, I am sorry. And thank you for providing your criticisms.
