I would like to propose a rule for the tribe, that might discourage trolling and decrease some minor confusion.
I am proposing this rule to the entire tribe and I would like the entire tribe to vote on this rule. I don't want admins to just go implementing the rule (as I'm sure they might if no one were to speak out before now) and I don't want just important members to vote on the rule, I want everyone to vote.
New Rule: While members of the pogotribe have freedom of avatar, signature, and display name, none of these shall copy that of an admin or moderator so as to prevent confusion of new tribe members. This rule primarily concerns itself with the avatar, avatar text, and display name, as these are common places of recognition.
Please I ask all of the tribe to read this (admins please make an anouncement) and I'd like all of the tribe to vote on this. I don't want people complaining if this takes effect that the admins are abusing power or are being unfair, let's be democratic.

Oh, ha, I see what you're referring to. It sounds childish to say "Zack started it" but since you mentioned it, I'll change it back.

I don't see what the big deal is. It's all in good fun. Yeah, people will get confused... but that is where the fun lies.
So I disagree.
EDIT: How would new members even be confused? It'd be older members who would be confused. There's no way for anyone to change the color of their name or put "administrator" under it. So a display name and avatar wouldn't be recognized by new members, anyway.

I agree that it's annoying, but I disagree that it should be some sort of rule. I mean, one person did it, it's not like it's a serious problem.

So its ok if you mimic regular members? If anything it should apply to all members.

If I'm new here and I know that Breepop and Speckley are admins - because they greeted me in my introduction thread, and I've checked out a few pogotok's and some of the important threads, I would recognize their avatars/names. So it could provide confusion for new members who are really only focused on learning admins, as they have not become accustomed to Zang and Zak poking fun (btw, Zak was the other one).
Yes, it is a little annoying, yes I realize it's poking fun, but before it started drama, I figured I'd make a post.
Also - it was 4:30 AM....

Haha I knew Zak did it. Of course Zang needs his dose of attention, too. Thanks for correcting me.
I don't think it'll be an issue. Zak isn't really a good example of how most people behave. Zang changed it back.
Shoulda voted disagree. Darn.

Meh, who cares if it starts drama? Let it start drama. We don't need to make a thousand specific rules restricting our fun.
You really think new users are going to memorize the avatar of every post in their introduction thread? lol And how would a POGOTOK help them associate the way my post profile looks? And you know what? If they do managed to get confused, good. Let them. Let them realize how silly and open and tolerant we are. Want to impersonate and admin and have a little fun? Go for it. We don't care. It's the little things like that that show who we are and what we stand for.
@bomb: I would have rolled my eyes and moved on, just as I did when I saw Zak. I honestly don't care who did it/does it. As long as it's just for giggles, of course. Full on rude, unproductive trolling with it is another story.

It should be an unwritten rule that people are asked to stop if they do it. It shouldn't be an official Pogotribe value, because it really only relates to the forum (and my sexy Bree mask)...
