I'm assuming we're going to have a "how MARCIE works" section in the FAQ, or possibly the Site Etiquette, right? A line like "MARCIE is a tool for avoiding tension. Please don't subvert that by announcing when you've MARCIE'd someone -- it's just bad manners" would be a good thing to have.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
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.

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

I don't think that's been said explicitly so far - where would it go, do you think: the FAQ?

Actually, I'm thinking it might belong on the "How-to" page.

I think the "how-to" page would make the most sense.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
glad we're back to Bureau stuff. Not that a quiet Bureau thread wouldn't be nice, but we have a natter thread.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(deleted because I read "good not to" as "not good to" and therefore missed the point of the post I was responding to.)

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