I can't help but notice that I haven't been banned

Banning no. However he used to love to have a few drinkies and delete my threads. So, if he starts up deleteing again (falls off the wagon?) then when he gets to the pearly gates he'll have to explain why he destroyed so many crosses, get banned from heaven, and I'll get the last laugh.



Ok, it's just the rough draft of a plan at this stage.

The fatal flaw in your draft plan is that Ming is in advertising and therefore will never end up anywhere near heaven.

When I press Alt the curser vanishes and -0134 doesn't type.

Thanks btw.

OK, then: Highlight, copy, paste.

BTW, no "-" is actually typed, and the 0134 must be on the Num pad with Num locks on. I guess the proper notation is [Alt][0134].

Why let the facts get in the way of your trolling

I will start deleting your threads again not because I "fell off the wagon" but because you have gone back to playing your silly spam games again... Your actions are the cause of the actions

Ok, I've got no problem with that, but will we ever see something like "This thread was deleted after violating [insert rule here]" or something like it?

Just having a thread disappeared without explanation will at least trigger questions, or even upset people to the point of misbehaving.

OTOH, most of us know where the line is drawn and why the thread in question was deleted. If the thread is deleted it´s because it´s violating the rules, simple as that.

Trial and error

This is already posted every time. It's just that it's posted in the deleted thread so you never see it.

And how is *that* supposed to teach me anything?

/me goes "huh, where has that funny thread I started gone to? Maybe the forum crashed? Better post it again..."

Maybe, but maybe not.

Do you recall me helping you fight against posters who were hitting you with this stuff?

"Have you ever had a hate site set up against you...
Have you been threatened with physical harm...
Your family threatened...
Threats to have you fired at work...
Your email accounts spammed...
Your home network hacked and infected with viruses...
A typical pm to you starts off with **** you or I'm going to kill you...

If you answered yes to ALL those questions, then you know what the mods put up with.

If you break the rules, don't expect to be treated with kid gloves. Expect to be treated as a rules breaker."

I did that because these things are wrong, not because I wanted to be a kiss ass as many thought. So, in my view, I haven't changed very much when I take on a mod who uses his mod abilities to enforce the rules... to troll the posters. I would never have believed that would ever really be happening Bill, had it not happened to me, and repeatedly, but I don't have to tell you that. Anyway, I'm tired of it.


*****I really hope these good times can keep rolling.*****

99% of the people understand... it's the one percent that don't get it, and "try again"

That one percent is then alerted to their "mistake"

It sure beats having to sending out hundreds of PM's to people who already get it... We have better things to do with our free time

It would be "idiotic" to waste that kind of time, especially since we volunteer our free time.
