Hrm. But right now, wouldn't it be editable-back in by the original poster? Our edit never expires, right?
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

We could delete the offending fake-stompy post.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hrm. But right now, wouldn't it be editable-back in by the original poster? Our edit never expires, right?
Well, if it's in our etiquette, then it would warrant a warning and (if they persist) suspension, at which point the edit capability would (I presume) expire. But of course, even if they couldn't edit that particular post but retained posting capacity, they could simply re-post (if they really wanted to play silly-buggers).

I think there are going to be some people who won't listen if it doesn't come from an admin ID. And I think, yes, the BSFs have power, however lightly worn or democratically given -- using the admin ID, or adding admin IDs for the BSFs isn't something to write off entirely.

In my opinion, if someone isn't willing to listen to an admin. posting under his or her regular Buffista name, one who is recognized by the community-at-large as an admin., an "admin" i.d. isn't going to make a bit of difference.

Yes.
It should be just as important if victor warns you as if the admin id warns you.
... I could say more about this but I don't think the grammar in that sentence is even at all correct, so I'll quit right now.

Heee - me, too. I had a whole second paragraph I couldn't make sense of, and realized it was just a restatement anyhow.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Go for the Faceless Stompy. Always better. If someone needs stompin' it's better to come from "admin" rather than the name of a person they otherwise consider a friend. Prevents resentment formenting.

Schmoker, I think the principle I follow is, if anyone says they were offended by what you wrote, apologise.
Understand the policy and will follow it.
I would like to ask a question, however.
Does anyone find it ironic (or even a little disturbing) that we all worship these shows where people who care about each other can be completely ruthless towards each other, making the most snide and disparaging comments at will, yet if someone on the board were to even sneeze cross-eyed at someone else, they have to apologize six ways from Sunday?
Think Xander or Cordy would last six days before getting booted off this board?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
