I don't find it as annoying as RL does, but I do find it distracting. I vote for a higher standard too.

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

Hey! Stop voting!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

We can't actually police random numberslutting. How the hell would that work?

Although I also think it's weird and annoying when someone gets all excited about getting, say, 6044.

There's no way to police it, of course. But we've dealt with other things that couldn't exactly be policed, either. And I'm just saying, it's not an important thing, but it's very annoying to me, and if it's very annoying to some other people, then a spell of excessive and nothing-else numberslutting could become one of the things that people are conscious of as being annoying to others. I said self-restraint.

(I'm tired and headachey. Am I sounding really snotty here? I'm going to go to bed soon.)

It didn't work with the campaign against "wrod". I think these things are organic.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It didn't work with the campaign against "wrod".

I swear I can think of other things it's been said to have worked for, and I'm only coming up, right now, with the points in Natter when someone asked that the fun-fun-profanity sessions be truncated or toned down. Or content stuff. But I swear I remember it.

Ah shit I'm just going to go to bed.

Hey, I'm still here! Just because you can't see me shudder every time I see it doesn't mean it's not happening!

stupid typo...
