  • Who or what is GP?

    I used to think it was 'Great Person' in Civ 4, but I suspect I may have missed a memo somewhere...

    Who: The poster currently known as TCO.
    What: A request for a self-ban, I think.

      More specifically, he is a homosexual gymnastics fan who used to serve in the Navy (this is massively redundant but I am being very clear)

        Note, I don't intend to give out any GPs during my time as moderator.

          You should. Some people need the nudge.

            This thread is allowed, after the banishings of so many others? Kind of a mockery of being consistent.

              What did I do wrong, Sloww? I was genuinely asking.

                How do you think it is similar? I agree that it is directed at a particular poster. However, it doesn't say something rude in the title, and is directed at a poster who actively visits/posts in this forum.

                You could argue that it is spam, however, it spam hasn't been closed very often? (definitely not by me)

                  It isn't spam, not is it directed at a particular poster. It is genuine ignorance, and seeking enlightenment. How am I supposed to know that GP=TCO?

                    Ooooooh, I see. It's the title. Anything goes in the context, but be wary of titling.
                    **** me running. I didn't know. Now that I do, excellent. Thanks.

                    You started the thread, the membership takes it and runs. It's not you, particularly, Cort.

                      I have allowed lots of trolls to go on? The only time that I have closed things down is when they went overboard.

                      I am not interested in policing apolyton to remove all trolls. If things go overboard again, moderator action will be taken.

                        You kind of have a slacker attitude, Jon.

                          This isn't a troll thread. It is a very serious thread.

                            To request a ban so that you're not tempted to post. 'Mod Blah, I've got a big test coming up and need to study but Poly is too much of a distraction, can you ban me please?'

                            Then when the test is done you send a request for release.

                              So true... so true. Nothing wrong with "giving a GP". It is a request by a member because they don't have the strength to not post on their own.

                              It's a Poly tradition
