what the hell is this?

[Froggychum]

I have no excuses. And I am sorry

[atomtengeralattjaro]

It is a "trophy shelf", I believe. It started out as badges for having been on the ASDF forums for 1 year, 2 years, etc. It has progressively gotten a little wonkier each time. It now has a seven year thingy on it as well.
There are some other things on it as well.

[Naddarobo]

ok thanks

[Froggychum]

Hey Atom, this is the COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT! You're not supposed to help people???
Naddarobo, please forget any helpful information you've been given. It goes against our company policy!

[atomtengeralattjaro]

I did it so that you'd complain about it, thereby keeping the thread on-topic

[Naddarobo]

but by doing so, you helped us by keeping it on-topic therefore keeping it off-topic

[Froggychum]

Ultimately, it's okay.
Catch-22 paradoxes are very much on topic!

What's more 'complaint department' than "we can't give you form A until you've filled out form B. But, we can't give you form B until you've filled out form A"

paperwork limbo is the secret tenth layer of hell

[ThingerDudes]

a complaint department seems like an inefficient use of resources. it should be replaced with an auto-reply email address that saves everything to /dev/null.

Thank You For Using Complaint Department Services,
An Obvious Robot

then again, i feel like even if its a bit old-fashioned, theres something irreplaceable about the soul-crushing atmosphere of a bonafide complaint department where your complaints are manually ignored by a real human.

[shruvvu]

[Froggychum]

Only if none of the jokes are funny!

[shruvvu]

why should i listen to u

[Evai]

Because you must comply. This is the compliant department.

[Froggychum]

The compliant department is for "re-education"
If you try to resist, we ship you off to the complaint department - to be maliciously and inhumanely tortured for the rest of your natural life.

It's a beautiful vicious cycle

[atomtengeralattjaro]

Wait, then what does the torture department do?!
