I plan on sticking around. Don't you get banned now Vault, I like you!

Being a huggly person who doesn't get angry with people very often goes a long way, as strange as that might seem. I've never really understood rage on the internet. If you can keep that contained, then there's a pretty good shot that you won't ever get reported or put in any sort of trouble with mods.

Just a few words from a silly person.

yeah same with me. I never get angry.

I'm genuinely curious: why is it that people request bans for themselves? To make a statement?

Thank you OP.
Those rules also seem to match up with my personal list titled: "How I Should Act on the Internet"

Another distinguished member of the R&P section voluntarily offed themselves.

Lilani? Yeah that came as quite a shock...

It seems only a matter of time in the r&p section. Sad, but true.

But...If she's gone, who's going to protect us from Danyal?

I think it serves a more practical purpose.

It lets people know that you've left the site, and can't respond to quotes or PMs.
[small]In other words, there's no point in quoting a 'faded out' BANNED post, as that person will never respond.[/small]

Oh. Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

Alternatively, don't have opinions or participate in threads other than those you are enjoying immensely.
Works for me.
But these look like a good rule set for anyone wanting to avoid a ban, though surely any sensible, careful person would already have thought of all this?

Well, no. Rules like 1, 4, and 18 aren't all that obvious to anyone.

Well, no. Rules like 1, 4, and 18 aren't all that obvious to anyone.

1 and 18 are both in the rules. Either the Code of Conduct or the rules for a specific forum.

And 4 basically just restates the Code of Conducts "Low Content" rules.

So, yeah, they're already said in "official" places.

A silly person we don't see enough of these days! ;P

I know. :s Figured i'd make a little pop-in here

yeah same with me. I never get angry.

This is good.

A wild, cuddly Rei appears!

*hugs* It's very nice & nostalgic to see your avatar again on the forums, friend. ♥

I was also a bit shocked by Lilani! But it was by her request, if I remember reading correctly. Sucks. She gave very good advice in the advice forum. I hope she comes back!

*hugs back* Good to see you too. Maybe i'll lurk around a bit more often. See if we can get some good threads going like the old days.

Alas... I don't know who this Lilani person is, or if I do I don't remember them. Probably my fault since I've barely been on this site for the past year or so. But it sounds like this was a good person. Shame to lose good people, since there aren't too many of them around.

Not worried about Danyal. Those threads are not a huge concern. What is a huge concern is how many lefties are getting tossed. People like Piffle and BC and Xanith are able to go on the O'Reilly style attack with fewer and fewer people willing and able to do the research to stop them.

I remember piffle. I figured i would have gotten my first warning when i "replied" to the stuff (s)he spewed. Though i usually avoid R&P forum (to much american politics for my taste).
