Timely Proverbs for the SDMB

Thou shalt not meddle in the affairs of Moderators and Administrators; for they are subtle and quick to anger."

Did something happen?

He who misunderstands is whooshed.

I’m not in any trouble with the Mods (that I know of).

I just wanted to say something profound, yet gnarly.

Here’s another:

There is no God but Cecil, and Ed Zotti is his prophet.

Spare the ban, spoil the troll.

Preview twice, submit once.

“Hit submit once, post once”

Sarcasm is a virtue.

And you’re saying Czarcasm isn’t? :stuck_out_tongue:

He’s more like a vice.

Thou shalt not use the bandwidth of the SDMB in vain

Thou shalt not worship false hampsters.

“Better to be thought a fool than to post a UL in GD and remove all doubt.”

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s dopername.

Though thirty platters may form the drive,
it is the emptiness within the platters
which gives the drive utility.

It is not the metal the modder bends,
which gives the case its usefulness,
but the space within the shape,
into which the case is made.

Without a space, the command cannot be entered,
and without a vacuum tube the CRT is dark.

Such is the utility of non-existence.

– The Tao of the Geek.

DNFTT.

You shall have no other Hampsters before Me.

You shall not take the name of the Lord Cecil in vain.

Remember the busy hours and keep them search free.

Honor your father and moderators.

Thou shall not Troll.

Thou shall not commit adultery in the wrong forum.

Thou shall not steal other peoples jokes.

Thou shall not bear false witness, without a cite.

Thou shall not covet thy neighbors post count.

Or nine even . . .

Rev 6:8 (updated)

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Cecil, and Zotti followed with him. And power was given unto them over the ignorant part of the earth, to teach with sword-like wit, and with humor, and with details, and with the Teeming Millions of the Boards.

Amen.

[Jules]There’s a passage I got memorized, seems appropriate for this situation: Ezekiel 25:17. “The path of the righteous Doper is beset on all sides by the inequities of the Trolls and the tyranny of Sock Puppets. Blessed is he who, in the name of Humor and Fighting Ignorance, shepherds the Newbies through the valley of MPSIMS, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost Dopers. And I will strike Flames upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my Boards. And you will know my name is Cecil when I lay my vengeance upon you.”[/Jules]
