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.

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!
Whatever happened with the Smithsonian submission?
The spammer's account is deactivated. I'll delete the posts.
Thanks, DX. That was quick.
Question: those have been noted as obvious spam.
Do we warn before deactivation, or assume total non-Buffista intent?
I think we warn if there's a reasonable doubt the person is spamming. In that case, there was no reasonable doubt.
Like, if I show up and say
"Hey, this is a really cool board! If you like Buffy, you might like my Ebay auctions!", that's cause for a warning.
But spamming on topics completely non-germane to the board? Death. Death by foot. Death by stompy foot.
I saw absolutely no intent to join the flow of the conversation so I deactivated. My feeling is that if they're upset, they can email the admin and ask to be reactivated.
