Forum rules for the BBQ Pit.***
“The BBQ pit is the forum for…complaining about the board, its moderators or the moderating actions…”
No trolling.
“…if we feel your primary reason for being here is to complain about the board and/or the moderators, you may be invited to go find another board…”
OK, I’m confused which one is it, to complain or not to complain?
I’m not entirely sure if this (i.e., the actual words, minus the intent) is really an insult. But just to be safe I’ll go ahead and call you a jerkface.
Well, you can’t be too terribly smart if you aren’t capable of understanding that those two things taken together obviously mean, “If you must complain, do so in the Pit; if you’re here mainly to complain, don’t bother.” They are in no way mutually exclusive or contradictory.
How about, “if you need to pee the washrooms over there; if youre gonna stay in there all night hogging the fucking thing then quit wasting space and go elsewhere?”
It’s really not that complicated. I give him 5 days
That makes perfect sense. Think of this message board as a dinner party to which you have been invited. If you need to piss, go to the bathroom. But if you came here with the intent of spending all evening pissing on the table, the food, the guests, the hosts… then FUCK OFF.
I think the owner of a coffee shop or a bookstore would sound perfectly sensible saying that, don’t you?
I’ve complained an awful lot more than many people here, and more than a few people have been banned for complaining far less than I’ve complained. Complaining isn’t why I’m here, but when I do it, I (99.9% of the time, at least) know to do it here.
