    This has got to be a parody - how Byzantine, it screams Starship Troopers over-the-top too. The amount of Dilbertian sludge here makes me weep. And not with joy. Alas, this is how some foolish companies make use of "social media" to "thoughtfully message" and "engage their customers". Ah, buzzwords.


    Too many rules make people give up. I've seen it kill the "spirit" of company blogging before.

    It may be an overly complicated flow chart, but I bet the USAF could put together a damn entertaining board game if they put their minds to it...

    I'm more concerned about the fact that the response to Trolls and Ragers is "notify HQ." Do they have a list of dissenting rants, rages, jokes, and satires at the expense of the air force?

    @night.laila: HQ's going to be spending all day and night on Something Awful, 4chan, etc. if they actually do this.

    From what I understand, launching Nukes is less complicated than responding to blog posts.

    @ManchuCandidate: i'd like to see a setup wherein two keys have to be turned simultaneously in order to activate the "submit" button. preferably in a Futuarama-like universe.

    But seriously, sure they've gotten rid of the Goa'uld threat but don't they have over things to worry about? Hello, priorities?!

    @Grey_Area:


    Well, the next big threat is the gradual sentience of the internet. They don't want it knowing, *ahem*, certain things. Next on the list is zombies, meteors, and a sudden outbreak of peace.

    Wacky Real stuff. Good thing there isn't an "Airstrike" option, folks like our beloved Pope John Peeps II would be in big trouble.
