So I can tell you how brilliant an idea it was to change the status on all of Mark’s sock puppets to “Just another Serlin”. Kudos, applause, a box of chocolates, a dozen long stemmed roses, and a tickertape parade down main street.
[sub]You didn’t think I was gonna yell at her, did you? I’m afraid of Lynn. [/sub]
Tell me about it! I go to work on Saturday, and can’t even read the damn board til NOW (late-thirty) and I miss the whole durn kit-n-kaboodle. WHAT HAPPENED???
And try to make it before tomorrow, please…I have to go to work Sunday, too! Thanks!
Weirddave, I am all for a tickertape parade for Lynn even though I missed all the excitement, but I live on Main Street, so could you please make sure you have a crew come around and pick up afterwards?
Arden Ranger instead of a small animal would you settle for the three racoons that have been tormenting my garbage cans lately? They are absolutly HUGE!!!
Hehe. That is really funny. But am I the only one to wonder why she didn’t just ban him? Or is he banned, but it says “Just another Serlin” instead of “Banned”? I’m so dense sometimes.
Arden Ranger, thanks SO much for the link! I would have probably lost it (whatever’s left I have to lose) wondering about this all day! (Yes, I know…my life is THAT tedious…)
I have some great incense to burn at your altar, too. Lynn is “the bomb”! (this means waaaaay cool in my son’s teenage vernacular).
I can go into a user’s file and alter all sorts of settings. For example, I can alter the time offset (this tells the board what time it is in your area). I can change the name, the password, the mailing address. There’s a little checkbox that says “Able to post? Yes No”. The default is yes. If I check “No”, that person cannot post. There’s also a Member Title box, the default being member. Generally, each time TubaDiva or I ban someone, we change this status to “BANNED”, which is a custom status and not automatic. I don’t bother doing this with, say, Concrete or any of the Parrot trolls any longer, unless I feel it’s really necessary. I have sworn to use my powers only for good…but sometimes my Dark Side takes over.
So…a note of “BANNED” under the username is just to let people know that this person is banned and won’t be back to argue (at least not under that name). I could put “BANNED” under a regular poster’s name, and he’d still be able to post unless I disabled posting for that person. So there you have it.
Eh, just send along the chocolates, no nead for any of the other stuff. I’m more or less a recluse. And please don’t sacrifice any animals. Unless they’re raccoons and/or squirrels.
We once had a member named BANNED who was listed as a regular member. Not sure what name he’s using now, but as Serlin showed, banning is not an impediment to posting. Concrete is also still active, and I’d guess most of the banned posters.
Your Serlin clone might actually be one of the people on this thread applauding the funny title and no one would know.
