Time for a warning?

Consistent demon-like behavior may earn a warning from the Stompy Feet. If you don't listen to the warning, you will be suspended for two months. And if you come back unreformed, you will be banned. Banning is rare and very much a last resort.

I think a polite, yet firm, note from an admin type would be appropriate at this point. BTW, I responded to ted's response to my Bismarck post (which was just fine) in a way that I hope sets a good example. Ted's post was perfectly polite and well-stated, and offered up good food for thought--I don't mind having my statements questioned in that way.

I noted and appreciated that, Anne.

The thoughtful posts serve as a nice example. That hopefully will work to demonstrate how things are done in this here place.

edit - and what Jon said - thanks.

I approve of announcing all new threads except continuations in the Press thread, and of adding [closed] tags to dead threads.

Actually, now that I've thought of it a bit, maybe [archive] instead of [closed].

I don't think we should use [archive] since we have an archive, and those threads aren't there. It might be confusing.

Good point. [closed] it is, then.

Does "anvil[ly | lacious]" need to be in the FAQ? Is that a local thing or does it come from somewhere else? I kind of have an implicit understanding of it but can't remember it ever being introduced or explained.

I think it may have come from MBTV originally, though I'm not sure.
