You gave us the badges, but not the actual power and authority that go with them. Why? Were you concerned that we would use our newfound abilities to overthrow you in a bloody coup? I know that the vast majority of us can't be trusted to be mere Moderators, much less Staff Administrators, but still.

I gotta say I do agree with this...I mean you could at least let us play for a bit. ;~; I mean couldnt we have gotten the option to lock threads? I mean I wouldnt mind if it was the little things. It wasnt that much fun just having the badge and colors...o_o

Lol, I already got my screen caps for my modship and adminship. 8D

You're actually wondering why they didn't give you any powers? :x ha. Chaos.
It was just an April Fools joke, you can't expect that much.

Well, it was still a good little joke. When I saw it, first I freaked out, being all, "WTF IS ALL THIS?" then I remembered the date. Haha, I cracked up like no other at my own stupidity and the entire joke.

That joke sparked too many negative reactions in people. It was a joke. It worked. Almost the entire community was tricked for a few seconds at least, or caught off-guard. APRIL FOOLS!!

I left my computer on sleep while viewing a user's profile. So when I refreshed the page later, I was like... "No. Freaking. Way. T__T". XD;

Yeah I agree Chikara, some people took such a pessimistic look at the joke. Instead of enjoying april fools, they failed to have fun and became mad they got to have the title of mod for a day. A shame they couldn't enjoy it.

I on the other hand, loved it. Got to wear that bright shiny blue badge with pride, even though I didn't have any power what so ever, I still had a blast. ;D

It was fun, but I had braced myself for something along the lines of a crazy April Fools Joke the day before so I didn't have the privilege of being shocked, angry, or caught off-guard -_-''. I had a screenshot taken of my "mod-ness" and I intend not to let it go for the rest of my life. Precious moment.

As for if we had the power of mods, it would be a complete disaster >_>. Most threads would probably be unreasonably locked, and things among those lines.

True, I also saved the precious moment! ;D

haha I can sort of imagine the chaos now, if we all had regular powers things would be waaay~ out of hand.

Though I've managed a forum like vb before, so when they just gave us the title I wasn't really surprised to not have any power. Though I did wish I could have found out which forum I "supposedly ran" even though they weren't assigned, would have been cool though.

Nah, we're 'general mods' who have been entrusted to watch over the general forums. <--(I wish.)

The catastrophe of having all people gain the power to lock threads, etc. would take weeks to recover from, and only from a simple April Fools Joke. Who knows, by the end of the day some psycho would have put it as their life's purpose to close all threads on the forum O_o. That would be an issue ._. .

It just popped into my mind to advertise the Pokecommunity on other sites like the following: "Join Pokecommunity now and get a free Mod Position, no fuss required!" <_<

I almost never read back the posts unless I don't understand the subject <_<.

Oh well. Now that I think I about it, I DO have an alternate account. So I guess that one will keep the precious Modness forever. Thank goodness. -sigh of relief-

Wait, we can have alternate accounts? I thought that was against the Pokecommunity rules. Well hey looks like you do learn something every day. ;D I wouldn't even need one anyways, I've made a big enough rep with this account, so no matter.

Also, yeah I agree... when the DCC get active post count seems to sky rocket. The DCC was were I got my first posts & friends. Good times. ;D

And I thought reputation varied on the accounts I used... I mean like, people would like me more if I alternated accounts >_> Like that worked. And it isn't against PC's rules cause you're not banned...

The DCC... brings bad memories.

I can't be stuffed logging-out and changing accounts btw. XD
