Flamsterette X I know you’ve been here, like, a whole month and, like, have almost a thousand posts but rest assured that those of us who were here for a touch longer than yourself do have a knowledge of the board history and did manage to keep the boards running without your input on every last damned thread. Homer is well and truly banned and part of the issue was his repeated linking to unsuitable pictures. ---

\Instead of having a sticky thread, why not have a warnings forum? Lots of boards have this and it can remind people of what not to do while not staring you in the eye, if you choose not to.\ _runs away_ ---

People complain about the moderation less if they know doing so will always result in them being flamed by certain board regulars. Not the most admirable policy in my opinion, but understandable, and I’ve grown to accept it. ---

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but why do the words “hysterical” and “overly dramatic” come to mind whenever I see the name “Flamsterette\_X”? Anyway, as far as the OP - rules are rules. Get over it. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Diane \* > **I can’t quite put my finger on it, but why do the words “hysterical” and “overly dramatic” come to mind whenever I see the name “Flamsterette\_X”?** I blame the exclamation point after every sentence. The post ends up reading as if she were shrieking and running around in circles, sporting a shiny white straitjacket. Hope it helps! ---

Heh heh, only the faces change, the stories never do. Ah well, at least drama queens are good for the occasional bit of free entertainment. 😉 ---

Well it didn’t take long for me to see that Lynn’s is a “scorched earth policy” but if it works for her to keep the **teemings** in check, so be it. I also think these call out on the floor flame threads should be closed after both parties have their final say. Then closed to the rest of the _fucknuts_ ---

If I did, you’d, like, see my name in all these other places on the board, you know? Like, I respect your knowledge of board hiistory, but I must take objection to the fact that you think I feel a need to comment on every last thread. I do not do this. I do not have the time to do this! Maybe the search parameters were faulty, and for that, I apologize. It’t not like I know everything about the board, you know? I, like, try and learn what I can, that’s all. > [@](#): > > Oh, ok, thanks. Good news everyone, I lack common sense and good taste. > > Let me just add that to the list of my faults. **jarbabyj** , that’s not what I meant, and I apologize if it came across that way. I’m not saying everyone who clicked on the picture lacked those qualities… all I meant was that the people who post those kinds of pictures up lack those qualities. Sorry for not being more clear. > [@](#): > > I can’t quite put my finger on it, but why do the words “hysterical” and “overly dramatic” come to mind whenever I see the name “Flamsterette\_X”? > [@](#): > > I blame the exclamation point after every sentence. The post ends up reading as if she were shrieking and running around in circles, sporting a shiny white straitjacket. Me, a drama queen? Nah, I’m not overly given to hysterics much. However, this was a topic I felt rather strongly about. (despite never having seen the picture in question; after that description of it, I don’t think I would) That would probably explain the plethora of exclamation points. If you didn’t like the way it made my post look, I admit it could have been better presented, but that was the mood I was in at the time. > [@](#): > > wow!!! Almost a thousand postings in only one month!!! Is that some kind of record??? I don’t know!!! Shall we go check the SDMB records??? Almost a thousand posting in a month and a half may not be a record in and of itself, but it’s my style, baby!!! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Primaflora \* > \*\*Homer is well and truly banned and part of the issue was his repeated linking to unsuitable pictures. \*\* Homer last posted about 10 days ago and is not listed as “banned.” Unless I somehow missed something, he is still a member in good standing. As I recall, quite a while ago Homer thoughtlessly posted a very offensive link like Du Hast’s and was severely warned (especially since he had done similar things before). Unlike Du Hast, he had the good sense to apologize and accept the fact he had done something wrong. Hence he is still here. ---

Colibri, my apologies. I really did think he was banned after a series of indiscretions and that he was listed a member after the board problems. ---
