Yeah, the suspension was for insulting Darth and Suela in the Buffy thread, the ban was for her continuing to insult people (comparing Julie to the Gnarl demon, etc) in our PF forum after she could no longer post here. (She added a "chat" thread in the Diaspora folder there which she's been using to respond to posts made in the show and UnAmerican threads here for the past couple days.)

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?

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Oh, OK, thanks.
Then I do agree with those who say (a) we should be explicit about WX and PF being off-limits too in the future, so no one can ever claim righteous ignorance, and also (b) threats of violence against other Buffistas on Buffista boards should lead to some sort of automatic sporking, no questions asked.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm finding myself grateful she never knew my real name. She'd have had a field day.

Already put it on the short etiquette page.

Thrive to spite them
Not to keep dragging the subject up, but I think Michele's post illustrate's why we need to announce bannings and link to relevant information.
The admins needn't say "So and so was finally banned because of such and such violation" in the Press announcement, but I do think that some kind of announcement should be made so that people who can't keep up or have been dark can find out what's going on without trying to ask people or wade through all the B'cracy posts.
It's certainly not airing dirty laundry as we are keeping it on site. I know Wolfram was worried about someone, not a member, reading about the banning and becoming bothersome, however anyone can read the B'cracy posts and follow what's being said.

Should we make the etiquette links go to the short etiquette page automatically? It seems like it's our working document much more than the filk is.

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

Agree on both. Jon's already added (a) to the FAQ.
x-post. Stupid work.

I suggested that a while back and most folks were against it. Is there someone willing to update the filky version? No filk talent is needed since the updates can go into the "spoken" parts. You just have to make sure that everyone in the short version is covered in the filk version.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
If someone can provide me with a list of items that need to be incorporated, I can update the filk text.
