I tend to get in trouble when I’m in the Pit. I’m just not that good at being bad, I guess, and I think my presence there will be the equivalent of treading on thin ice, at least for the next month or so.

I know vBulletin has the option to revoke posting privileges for certain sub-forums. Can I have take a temporary sabbatical from the Pit alone?

Sure. And it’s easy. Just don’t go there.

Nothin’ to it.
