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

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Victor, I think that while the Buffistas rock, indeed, there are other polite and sane fans out there. It's just that they tend not to make as much noise as the crazies.
And the provisions we have in place are intended for all comers, VIPs and non-VIPs and lurkers and long-time members. Everyone is obliged to conform to community standards (although long-time members would probably get a little more flexibility just because we know them better...).

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Oh, I know. That was by way of making a joke.
On everything else, I think we're all on the same page. I just wanted to give it an airing, because, well, I really DO want to invite VIPS over, and want to be able to guarantee at least a REASONABLE protection from the nutsos (although a few of them like to scrap a bit, so there you are) and, consequently, keep this board in its usual eccentric-yet-peaceful state.
I may be fretting over nothing, but I'm glad I aired my concerns.
EDIT: And I'm glad it's a board where I can feel comfortable airing my concerns.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
I think that the annoyance of having to register and wait for the email would take the most short-attn.-span of the crazies out of the mix.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
Too blanket. I read them, and I am not bored by them.
You say this as if it's obvious to everyone.
I plead being late to work for my lack of tact. I threw a "kinda" in there, jumped on my bike, and got there right at 1:59.
Nilly's second link may be the solution, or someone could edit a 7:00 post to point to the end of the watch-and-post like we were doing on TT for a little while. My feelings don't really matter since I'm not subscribed, and I overstated how strong they were.

In terms of loonies getting out of line. You know someone is out of line when you see it. You are a stompy foot. If someone gets out of line -STOMP!

I think that'd drive you Easties crazy, wouldn't it?
Yes.

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