Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

As regards the troll, I have no *personal* qualms about kicking him out, but our site etiquette states:

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.

He's already gotten a warning, but let's not get caught disregarding our own rules -- suspend the bastard, yes, but he's got one more strike to go before banning.

Our wings are not tired.

Suspending should do the trick. At the end of a couple months the troll will have found a new playground.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The Natterishness of the thread hadn't troubled me, but I don't see any problem with pointing people over to Natter - seems logical enough to me.

Please don't point that guy at natter.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Please don't point that guy at natter.

Aye, fair enough.

Contain the troll, don't let him infect natter, please.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I think the exaggerated posting around him is likely to send the wrong message. Ignoring, rather than piling on with the LALALAWECANTHEEEERYOU, seems worth trying.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The T-R-O-L-L seems to have vanished, for now.

Though why bother to come back on Boxing Day, when no one is really around? Makes so little sense.

Insane Troll Logic, I guess.

You were just waiting for the opportunity to use that, weren't you?

Actually, no.

But when one came up, I went for it.
