Nutty, can you insert some linebreaks?
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Laura, I think your post is widening my screen ...
edit: no ... looks like Nutty, and looks fixed.

Thrive to spite them
Laura, I like what you said.
I think in official warnings we need to keep the humor out. I know there's a desire to make the warning more...light hearted (?) but there's also a chance humor could take the teeth out of the warning or be misread as being meanspirited.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, Nutty, clarity is best. My intent is to have the standard form ready when needed with just a place for the specific nature of the problem inserted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good stuff, Laura and Nutty. I think for an Official Warning, the balance to draw is not between serious and funny, but between serious about the consequences and genuinely hopeful that the person will clean up his or her act.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Stupid question for my clarification: Why are there different profiles for Zoe Ann and Zoe Finch? In my experience, on a board like this, someone with two profiles is either A) In Charge, or B) Up To No Good. Although with them being so similar, it could just be another example of cluelessness.

She reregistered with a different name at some point due to password difficulties, and wanted to stay with her new name.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
She forgot her password to the Zoe Finch account, and reregistered as Zoe Ann.

Ah. So, general cluelessness. OK.

Bitterchick has two logins, and as far as I know, she's neither. I mean, I agree allowing multiple logins has been a problem for other fora, but we seem to tolerate it and it's never been an issue thus far.
