The Unofficial Dictionary of Shadow Era Forum Terminology.

[Shattered Pearl]

Dammit, I was gonna come on and slate your noobiness at creating yet another list of terms, but the way you've laid it out is good.

Actually, you still can, because I forgot to make separate posts for each letter. I have a feeling that I'll run into problems when my original post gets too big.

Mod
(Contributed by Warr Byrd, additional information added)
noun

Noun
1. Moderator. Someone the developers have assigned to patrol the forums and guide new users, often by answering questions and dealing with inappropriate behavior. Their best known and feared power is the ability to ban members from the forum. Some, however, have other duties that give them control beyond the forum.
While mods often seem (and sometimes act) like high class trolls, smearing profanity and racism in their faces is probably unwise.

(Suggestions by AnAdolt)

That last statement about penguins was a little ot, since we were obviously talking about the kittens.

2. (obsolete) on topic. Describes a post or statement that is relevant to the original post. (No longer used, since the prevalence of trolls on the Shadow Era forums provides little hope of rescuing a derailed discussion.)

Rouge
(Originally Posted by BDK16 Here)
noun

Noun
1. (misspelling) Rogue. It is rumored that this misspelling originates from a mistake that occurred in the World of Warcraft game. Often purposefully used with the intention of fomenting humor, the joke is overused to the point of banality. Using this word will likely earn troll spam with the topic of make-up.
Oh! My! Gosh! I LoVe the Rouge class.
