No but really knock it the ♥♥♥♥ off it's really not funny it wasn't all that funny when lfow first coined the gorramn phrase now it's just ♥♥♥♥ stupid so hereby proposing that: sparkle magic, sparkle magics, sparkle magix, sparkle magikz, sparkel magix, and any further variation thereof is turned into an instant minimum-one-day ban. Because seriously, knock that ♥♥♥♥ off. |

What about existing posts? From, say, a year+ ago. |

It may by annoying Grif, but i think that's a little like banning people for using any coined terms. Besides, people like using little cliches like that. |

Let's just go back to the good old days, when everybody called it "L.U.A.". |

Hurr durr what does LUA stand for? I think just knowing that using this phrase makes Grif think less of you is enough. |

Would it come to mind that thinking less of someone so much to ban them just for saying "sparkle magic" seem a little over edge? Sparkle Magic. There. Now are you gonna ban me just for saying a simple phrase that has absolutely no aggressive or insulting intent behind it just because it's annoying to you? Sure its aggravating but that doesnt cause harm at all, but unfortunately you are causing that with the intent of this. Now ban me and see if people think less of you. |

I don't see any reason to set up a ban specifically to cater to one cantankerous person's pet peeve. |

Overreaction much Grif? It's a word, it's not harming anyone, deal with it. |

Banning words is usually a pretty futile gesture to be honest, and never really serves to put anyone in a good light. |

Can we just police ourselves on this one? I realize that people want to use it because it makes them seem like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, so how about people just politely interject with: "It's called Lua, please." It's not that hard. Educate the userbase instead of punishing them. But more realistically, do you all realize that by excluding the word "Lua" in your post and substituting "sparkle magic" makes it more difficult for people to do keyword searches on the forums? You're only hurting yourselves here, people. It's not fair to newer people who may be searching for a solution and can't find it because you're all acting like you are 12 and using a pseudonym for a common part of this game. Also Grif you should know better, calling something out like this is just going to get more people to do it--what is wrong with you? |

Yeah I'm with Coop. I don't think I've ever once said "sparkle magic"- it was always dumb, even Lowest realized it was really dumb, but I think I might start just because of how dumb making a fuss over it is. Really this is super dumb. Sparkle Magic was originally coined to stop people fussing over LUA and l.u.a. or whatevs that, if I remember correctly, Grif was one of the most vocal about. Does it matter if newbies don't know what it means? Most of them won't know what Lua means anyways so hucares? y u care so much, GIRF? |

It most certainly doesn't hurt to not look like a fool when you're posting, just saying. |
