Some context on my deleted thread

JVP15·8/8/2017, 8:48:58 PM·2 votes·531 views

I recently created a thread in Memes and Games called

Report Serj Tankian

With the body saying

For Toxicity

For those who don't know, Serj Tankian (this guy) http://i0.beon.ru/50/28/2192850/92/98753392/125499424.jpeg

is the lead singer of the group System of a Down (them) http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_400/MI0003/534/MI0003534134.jpg?partner=allrovi.com

One of their most popular albums is called Toxicity https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61Wt2PvyIhL.jpg

This was a bad joke that I thought a few people who get the reference would laugh at. I probably should have used the band name (System of a Down) instead of the lead singer's name, and I also realize that I should have included a /s at the end to indicate that I was joking in case someone didn't get the reference. I am not sure what can be done now, but I thought that I would try to provide some additional information to the moderator who deleted my thread.

Hey,

Ah, I did not get that reference. I apologize for the confusion. As DTN already sated, the thread has been undeleted. For future reference though, if a reference is that obscure, it could be worth it to include an indicator of what it is referring to to avoid future confusion.

If you have any further questions, feel free to respond to this comment, or come talk with me (or any other Warden) over on the Boards Moderation Discord.
