Hello, Department of Redundancy Department?
This one too.
Policy [ ] Whenever you see anything redundant around the site (comments, articles, etc.), say something like "[[Department of Redundancy Department]] calling you", "Hello, [[Department of Redundancy Department?]]" or something like that. Spread the word about us, so we can get even more members to spread the word! (Yes, it's redundant, but that's the whole point :P)
Redundancy [ ] This is our biggest department. Basically, you guys cover the general area of redundancy. It goes for stating the obvious, logical fallacies, and so on. Just put link to this page whenever you see something redundant. Just don't start or encourage flaming.
Stating the Obvious [ ] Some people, particularly new users (heck, even some of the older users), state the obvious a lot. Link them here if they do. No flaming.
Logical Fallacy [ ] Anything said in a debate or argument that makes no sense (see here for additional information ), link here. No flaming.
Dramatic Irony [ ] Something ironic or hypocritical presented in a comment or argument. Pretty self-explanatory. As per above, no flaming.

Stating the Obvious Department [ ] Logical Fallacy Department [ ] Dramatic Irony Department [ ] Subjects [ ] If there's anything that you find redundant, add them to the list here. Links are optional, and you don't need to link to a specific article, either. Please feel free to put items on the list that you feel are redundant. Links aren't required, and you can post any thing you think is redundant here.
NOTE: If any of these subjects are directed towards a user(s), they have the right to remove their username link from it, or the entire statement, if they find it offensive. Do NOT revert their edit if they have done so.
Don't click here, as it would be redundant. Also, if you click here, it would be redundant. This image has no purpose here, and is therefore redundant; it's also redundant, because it has no purpose here. This is text.

Redundancy.
Trying and failing to piss off other people by vandalizing and end up wasting your own time.
Telling someone to do their job while they're doing their job .Wasting approximately twenty seven minutes of my time reading through the mass of this entire article because it was so unnecessarily , fascinatingly different from other fictional articles , which on the contrary are usually not even half as interesting to read but that's probably pretty rich to every one of my articles that aren't close to completion yet I still make more and never finish them off , but only really because I saw its ridiculously blatant tautological name on the recent edit feed and then suckered myself into conforming and thus contributing a redundant redundancy-themed statement about redundant redundancy , which simultaneously and quite consequentially rendered roughly another thirteen minutes of my life redundant in a very unnecessary aliterational way , which isn't an actual word and therefore grammatically redundant . By the way Noble Team rip offs are relatively unredundant on the redundant relativity scale of relative redundancy .Precursors Having eighteen sockpuppet accounts .Repeatedly ban evading by coming back to the site under different names over the course of at least six years.Using a Halo fan fiction site as your personal political platform. Wanting to BE John-117 so bad you photoshop your own face over a picture of him.Being the MOST TALENTED WRITER ON HALO-FANON WITH A FUTURE .Trying to apply real-life politics to an insane IRC rant when you're about to be permabanned .Reading the list of Redundant reasons listed on the Redundancy Department page, and wonder why the Redundancy Department is not doing its job.
