And no, not everyone comes into ATMB every day, some people perceive it as just a place to whine about the moderation now. Or so I’m told. ---

Thanks, **Ed** - I think I see what you are getting at now. Although I dread the day an illegal Muslim immigrant and Bernie Sanders supporter shoots up a Planned Parenthood clinic with an assault weapon to protest the invasion of Iraq, and no one will have anything to post except kitty pictures. :eek: Regards, Shodan ---

> [@Morgenstern](#): > > That sounds like a good suggestion actually. > Honest Ed. It not B 2 complikated 4 us smarts folk hear 2 do dis. 😛 I’m sure you could handle it. We were more concerned that if we put it into the rule it’d be one more thing we’d have to enforce. If we put something in we’ll make plain that it’s optional. ---

Well, at least there’s precedent for that.

Is MPSIMS still the appropriate place for Kitty Porn, i.e. links to photos of underage felines in risque positions? ---

So it’s official, no jabs in MPSIMS. That’s OK by me, I have always preferred haymakers, roundhouse kicks and the Mighty Elbow. Good thing those are still allowed. I am a it unclear about the Vulcan Death Grip. There is a bit of a jabby motion involved there… [sub]It’s been a loooong day[/sub] ---
