Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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.

Could white font work?

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

Yes.

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

Whatever happened with the Smithsonian submission?

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

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.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Especially when accompanied by a message about how to save ourselves from going to hell.

Some of us like it there.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Now I'm almost sorry I missed it.

Almost.
