> [@elmwood](#): > > Take, for instance, [this new Doper](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php). I’ve removed the links in this person’s profile. I don’t know if all the mods do that when banning a spammer, but I do. Those spammers do usually get around to posting later - they just don’t do it immediately. ---

Might be why I can’t seem to pull myself away from the SDMB for up to 4 hours. And in cases where I’ve been posting for extended periods, I experience pain and/or a damaged penis. ---

I heard a rumor that to avoid injury, the mods take posture classes before they’re given reign over the boards. Whenever they’re on the SDMB, they sit erect. ---
