That type of behavior is not going to earn you much respect around here, aside from the fact that trolling is liable to get you kicked out.

Notice the comment draws attention to the problem without singling you out. Many people have done it when they first got here.
Just take the tip and improve your posts with it.

Personally, I took thebigsilly's response about MOD to be a joke, and I thought it was kinda funny.

To be persnickety, if mod. is an abbreviation for "modification," then it needs a period after it. Maybe it's an acronym for "Modification Of Design," in which case "MOD" is correct. Although, commonly used acronyms often drop the capitals, as in radar and laser. In which case, "mod" is correct.

Mod is not an acronym or abbreviation; it is a full word in its own right.

The AI is actually quite good at doing random things.
The trick is trying to make "random" be good for the empire rather than really bad

LOL. Anyone else see this article in New Scientist, about how neurotic AIs defeat rational AIs?

Hey, you're right, at least according to some dictionaries.
