There was one in thread warning for averagejoe. Nothing official for mieskie, though.
'The Train Job'
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.

Yeah what should be done about that guy?
Did he violate policy in a way we can quote to him?
I'm assuming we're talking about his comments about MT, or is there more?
And he's just pulled the "other people talked about cocksucking" argument. Argh.
The Buffistas are an inclusive, welcoming, and flame-free community. Play nice, and you've found a home away from home. If you make personal attacks or offensive posts, or try to start a fight, you will be shunned. However, newbie mistakes are usually corrected gently and informally. Lurk for a while and you'll learn our language.
in addition to what was posted before about how one's suspended, etc.
I was afraid he'd do that... (in response to Dana's post)
This is doing my head in.
Fay, you're consistently funny; you don't go beyond the seaside-postcard level of crude. Don't think otherwise.
It's your community, do as you will and don't fret too much more. There's been a lot of discourse, I'm not going to cry if Stompy Foot goes Shack. I'd expect anyone here to tell me when I'm out of line, or ban my ass if I suddenly lost my shit and started making everyone uncomfy on a day to day basis.
Yes. Some people are oversensitive to a fault. OTOH, some people are insensitive to a fault. Both make me close the window and go someplace else. Ya know?
And, frankly, context is everything. We know Fay, and we know that (most of the time) she's kidding, and/or it's so overthetop it's funny rather than offensive.
This guy isn't funny, although I expect he thinks he is.
What Betsy said Fay.
And he's just pulled the "other people talked about cocksucking" argument. Argh.
I can see where a stranger could wander into a thread with crude banter among regular posters and misinterpret the usual and acceptable behavior here. When we read a post from someone we know it is easy for us to understand the intent behind the words. The same words can be used by a stranger and we are uncomfortable. Regular posters have joked about inappropriate thoughts of Dawn after OMWF.
I’m not defending the offending poster here, just asking that we proceed within the guidelines discussed before the board opened. They were worded well, imo.
