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.

"er, we've had this person on our board, she's quite sparklingly insane, thought you should know before the havoc and disruption start"?
It's good etiquette to reach out to your fellow fandom net community, but not like this. Maybe that forum is full of fellow crazy folk. If she starts to cause disruption, then emailing the webmaster a short note explaining that she was booted here, and why, would be helpful.
Might want to think how Buffistas would feel if another site webmaster e'd us to give us the heads up on a newbie. Mayhaps we'd be wary, but at least in our archiving case, we could nilly up a pattern that would be helpful in determining for them whether or not to nip the problem in the bud.
All right, then. It was mostly the insomnia talking, but I do feel bad for both her and for whichever boards she visits herself upon in the future.
Yeah, she really seems to be spinning out.
Oh, I didn't post that for anyone to contact the other board about her specifically. I just thought maybe people would want to have the link removed.
Honestly? In her current mind-set, it's going to be readily apparent to anyone concerned that all is not well. I think leaving it alone is our best path here. She'll tire of it soon enough, and if other people follow her links and find us, I don't think it's a big deal. Just because it's a link

a crazy person doesn't mean that only crazies will click on it.
Edited because Jon is totally right.
Please please please, can we stop talking about her here? At least take it to natter or something.
Lance says he can't delete the threads, because he doesn't like the precedent it sets -- they are in a "free for all" section of the site, after all.
He's suggested putting a disclaimer and re-pointer in the header -- I asked him if he could put it in each "real" thread, and also if he could remove "Buffistas" from the thread names.
