You weren't attacked for posting a picture of Smite's characters integrated into a game of chess, but rather you were told that just because this is the off-topic section of the forums does not mean the threads themselves have no topic. When you posted the original image (it's currently broken because of a bug in the site), there were only light-hearted replies, such as suggesting different gods for the rooks and bishops. I honestly don't know what my first reply meant, lol, it was quite a while ago - I had probably just watched a video where that was a one-liner joke, as I tend to copy phrases in a fad-like manner. Either way, none of us chastised you for your post.

The problem came about when you started posting random things in this thread as if it were a blog, or something. While I would have liked to congratulate you for making it into Silver League, it had absolutely nothing to do with the thread. And then you basically told members who asked you to stay on-topic to 'stop acting above your power.'

Please don't get the wrong idea; I'm not trying to harass you. But this thread does not adhere to the site's rules and we were just trying to get you to understand that you should have either created a new topic that could have provoked discussion, or you could have simply made a blogpost.
