[Moderating]
If you want to disagree with a mod ruling, ATMB is thataway. Arguing moderation in the Pit is against board rules.

Too bad DD can’t be word-banned from using “enuf”.
He does that to a bunch of other words, too, despite being called out on how annoying it is. I call it malicious orthography.
.
That’s a exaggeration.
Well played.
He cut out a lot of the colloquial spellings awhile ago after beong asked to, but he hangs onto a few.
I wonder if that’s around the time he decided that he was going to indicate he was quoting material by highlighting it all and clicking on the italicize button instead of the handy block quote button like a normal person would, and he had up to that point. Seems on par for his maturity to sublimate his frustration in such a passive-aggressive fashion.
Gods, if I were a mod, he’d already be banned just for his quoting/citing behaviour. Posting entire paragraphs from Wikipedia without any attribution, forcing one to click one of the numbered footnotes (if lucky enough to have them) to find out which page he was actually doing a C&P dump from.
Remember, though, “a Book as a cite is not the best” said esteemed academic DrDeth.
Just out of idle curiosity, are any of those he (a) used to use or (b) still uses pretty close to being a tad racist?
No, not that I’ve ever seen.
I guess the PTB decided he could use a little more rope…
We’re still talking in the modloop.
ETA: It will be a 30 day suspension, my announcement will be up by 10am Eastern Time.
I’m a shit writer as many (most) of you know and asked someone in the modloop to please review before I move it to ATMB.
So, they’ll get their vacation, and then we’ll see episode 2 of gradual tiptoeing back over the line. And then, after months, the banning they deserve.
So, what I said…
Yes, but when I wrote the first line, it wasn’t decided yet.
I edited in the next two lines later. Now I just edited in ETA like I should have to start.
I just love the idea that you edited to add “edited to add”.
It’s a bottomless Pit!
It’s edits all the way down!
(ETA more edits)
FYI: This Saturday DrDeth’s suspension will end. March 16, 2024. 10am Eastern Time.
Does it have to?
