'Heart Of Gold'
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.

It's the borderline cases that we have trouble with.
True. Did we ever formalize the "three stompy feet" rule? It should be added to the etiquette if we have.
(Also, do newbies get a copy of the etiquette? If so, the filk version or the straight one? I don't want anyone to be able to claim we didn't TELL them the rules, and it seems like we're working from the straight version right now.)
This is the person that has the (at least on the face of the Beta) same IP number as I do. S/He's lied about Allyson (and me and Narrator and others). The thought of this person here makes me vomit and may well cause me to hawk my PC, cancel my broadband service, change my name and move to the South Pole. YreactionMV. ijs. No, no, for the love of Joss, no. Please no. Please, please, please. Let's be unfair, just this once (twice if a 'Web Warlock' tries to register - and imo - that average joe person very well may have been WW).
Goes off in search of Allyson's sandwich board.
edited to add - I gave this person every chance in the world, by the way, to act decently and start anew.
The guidelines we discussed prior to the Phoenix rising have been working brilliantly. During those long discussions there were many what-if scenarios that caused fear among the troops. Take deep breaths and have confidence that this lovely community will thrive in the new year. My vote FWIW is to stay the course and follow the guidelines established.
I would also like to see us follow the guidelines. We've had minimal trolling, and it seems as if one potential nuisance has been behaving him/herself admirably of late. People can learn, usually.
Yeah--the worst that will happen is that we endure a couple days of annnoying posts from an asshole and then the stompy feet will stomp. We aren't as public as the beta or the Bronze, which is a big help.
He got a warning, he's not playing nice, he's pissing my shit off. Spork him.
Kill him.
Coming kind of close...
Hee. You got me before the red fog cleared to a light pink mist.
FF thread is quiet at the moment. BEst to just let it settle for a bit.
I have an additional request. If people are pissed off about a specific user, can they please keep it confined to where that person posts and to this bureaucracy thread? When it shows up in Natter, where the person is not, then it just feels like talking behind his back, but still in public, which is so beneath the usual behavior of the Buffistas.
