Hmm, didn’t think there was a way to alter a post without an edit stamp appearing at the bottom.

Well, that makes sense. I just figure if a new person registers then immediately links titty pics, that in addition to removing the link mods would post a warning “Welcome to the Dope, some of us like titties but let’s first get to know your beautiful mind.”

Seeing no warning, I was confused.

Until I’m no longer visible. If you stare longer than that I would guess you aren’t really staring at me then!

Jerk away. If it makes you feel good and it doesn’t hurt anyone else then I don’t care ^_^  
 @Maserschmidt: Who said you would have to pay? I’d do it for free ^_^
