How do you get banned? Just cuirous...

Hang on. We gotta toss virgins into chocolate?

Woo Hoo!

well… I’m screwed

No, virgins don’t appeal to me. Just the chocolate.

What gets people banned? Well, being a jerk, for the most part. Sometimes the jerkiness takes the form of having multiple screen names (socks), or trolling, both of which are explicitly against the rules. Those will both get you banned right off, with no second chances.

In most cases, though, it’s a cumulative thing. People keep doing stuff they’ve been warned about, and they’re shown the door. Other people do little things here and there; it’s never the same exact thing twice, but it’s always something, and eventually they get the axe. Sometimes there’s a huge meltdown, sometimes it’s death by five million papercuts.

The line between bluntness and jerkhood can be fuzzy sometimes, but the mods will give you a warning if you cross it. There are a handful of things that are just unacceptable under any circumstances, though. Flaming anywhere outside the Pit, using any form of hate speech, talking about killing someone, monkeying around with usernames to insult other posters, and discussing illegal activities (they’re especially tough on drug-related stuff, because of the name) are all verboten. On other stuff, you have to use your best judgement, and if you get warned you know to be more cautious in the future.

Well duh call me thick but why was EVIL MONKEY etc banned

As stated before in this thread: he was a sock.

OMG Why was teh EVIL MONKEY banned???

The only problem is finding one around here.

Oops …

Yeah. I ain’t seen no freakin’ volcanos around here anywhere.

Virgins, OTOH, are a dime-a-dozen around here

Oh, Bryan, that was…that was just lovely.

Hmmm…I noticed that county hasn’t been back, although he’s been elsewhere in the Pit. You’d think that he’d want to come back to see the cite I so assiduously looked up for him.

In other words, he didn’t think anyone would catch him blowing smoke. Oh well. Methinks he won’t be back.

One less obvious rule is not to discuss politics in GQ. Several people got banned, including myself, but as far as I know we were all allowed back in due course. Usually, however, banning is permanent, and occurs after many reproofs and warnings.

If ** Lynn ** doesn’t want the virgins, just send them to me; I am sure I can find some uses for them.
:tentacles quiver in anticipation: :smiley: :smiley:

Get yer own message board if you want tribute. This one’s MINE, even if I have to share with other mods/admins.

Okay, Lynn. So far, we know:

Chocolate: yes.

Virgins: No.

Volcanoes: :dubious:

How about some chocolate-covered studmuffins? With caramel swirls in all the right places? Perhaps a dab of whipped cream here and there?

doubles the chocolate virgin order

Nah, chocolate, caramel, and whipped cream just makes 'em all Sticky. It’s fine if they’re CARRYING chocolate, caramel, and whipped cream treats, though.

I prefer my volcanoes far, far away. On another planet might be far enough.

So this doesn’t look appealing at all?

Would you like to ban me now or wait 'til you get home?
