I can’t put SnuGgLYPuppY in my location and have it be seen in my posts as I am not a paying member any more.
I haven’t been around much of late, and I haven’t read this thread in its entirety… but I just wanted to say that I find the new rules truly bizarre.
Ed, I know you have your reasons, but why are you doing this? You’re beating the fun out of the pit.
Never again will we have threads such as “Woooo!!! I AM MASTURBATING LIKE A MOTHER FUCK!!!”
Maybe the third time is a charm.
Please answer the question
I was about to make a Pit thread where I said, “Fuck you, Ed, you condescending cunt, and fuck your pissy little anal-retentive schoolmarm rules.” Then I remembered that I couldn’t, precisely because of what I was complaining about! I mean, I may complain about rules, but I’m not going to go around breaking them. Sometimes I have to laugh at my own forgetfulness.
Say, Ed – did it occur to you to simply make a rule forbidding complaining about the rules? Problem solved!
And, there’s software available that will change the word “cunt” to “BLEEP”. Install that, and you’ll move us one step closer to being the imdb.com message board. Would that please you?
Then you can move on to dress codes. Doesn’t it bother you that there are posters – they know who they are – who have the gall to address this august board – perhaps even your august self – while wearing bathrobes?

Ok. I have an unrelated question.
I understand that calling somebody “troll” is allowed in pit. Also, “screw you” was considered “to mild to be abuse” by mod. So:
Answering another poster in The Pit with words “Screw you, you troll” is legit? Or is it abusive?
Done. Codeword: sNUGGlYPUPPY
I find it hilariously correlated with my username.
It’s case-sensitive:
snUgGLypuPpY
I think i speak for many of us, when i say: SnUggLypuPPy
sNuggLyPUppy.
I don’t swear much, but this is tempting me to start!
I know. But it’s still hilarious. So many puppies everywhere.

(That was fun!).
snUgGLypuPpY is cute.
new rules suck. still.
SnUgglypupPy. Awwww, I want one.
SnUGGlyPUPpy.
Yeah, I’m still not happy.
Now I get it!
Hey can we use “code words”?
Like, can SnuggLYPuPpY be the new fuck you?
SnuggLYPuPpY, brewha!
If I had used private messaging, then the web site would need the ability to log in as me in order to get the messages, and that’s a much more difficult problem. I admit it’s a little convoluted, but I couldn’t think of a better way. Originally I was going to have the snuggly puppy go in your ‘interests’ section of your user profile and have you paste a link to that, but it turns out you can’t view profiles without being logged in.
Thanks for saying it’s clever, though. I have to admit all the puppy snuggling going on is cracking me up.
As I was coding it, it occurred to me that one of those alternate boards we’re not supposed to mention by name could use a similar mechanism to allow dopers to claim their usernames, or even let you carry over your join date and/or post count bragging rights (some people are into that; me, not so much, as evidenced by my relatively measly post count here).
I love it when they roll over and you rub their bellies, and their whole body kind of wiggles side-to-side.
ETA: Puppies, that is.

So, “fuck off” is not OK, you “ignorant asshole” is OK.
Colour me confused.
Can we start a thread, probably a sticky, listing approved phrases and verboten phrases? This is going to be tough to remember without a handy-dandy guide, especially since it makes zero objective sense, and misuse is potentially fatal (speaking virtually, of course).
