I've seen some people in :gtplanet: that have posted Rickroll links. I hope one day, administators and moderators will ban Rickrolling and people who Rickroll on :gtplanet: will get warned.
 
I am well aware of what Rickrolling is but it is not a banable offense as it doesn't technically go against the AUP.


And it's a rather stupid one to add if I may say so myself.

I agree it shouldn't be done outright, maybe as a joke here or there, but otherwise as long as a thread serves a purpose otherwise thats not that I don't see an issue.

I see an issue when people start doing it in the OP.
 
Is it really that big a problem to warrant a ban? I've seen it probably thrice or so over the last year. If it really bothers you that much, you have three real options.

Memorise the associated URLs on a giant spreadsheet.
Never click anything.
Rethink your life.

If we start banning everything that's irritating there'd only be like, 5 members left and we'd be minus the drift forum. Quite honestly I don't think it's an issue, and everyone has better things to be doing.
 
I'm pretty sure that misleading links are frowned upon.

Rickrolling is a way of life on the internet.
 
I can't even remember the last time I got rickrolled anywhere. Funny thing is, that rickrolling has become such a thing of the past that when it happens now it's genuinely unexpected.

It can be considered misleading, or spam but I don't think it's anything serious because of what @Akmuq said.

It's akin to saying "Wow, check out this awesome video about Gran Turismo 6" and then posting Last Christmas.

I was half expecting the link in your post to be a Rick roll. :lol:
 
Why exactly does this thread even exist? The idea is silly just for the fact that Rickrolling hardly happens anymore (nor is it a relevant as its a fad as old as NEDM).

Is this thread sort of a "Let's ban the oldest thing we can think about" thread? If so, I vote we ban the duck roll. We all know how often we deal with this kind of annoyance. :rolleyes:

Rickrolling is still a thing?
 
If people started getting banned or warned for rickrolling, linking to Last Christmas would probably have to stop too. And we couldn't have that, now, could we?
