It reminds me of the person who said the End Times will involve nuclear weapons because the word “abomination” in the Bible means “A-Bomb in Nation!” ---

@iiandyiiii please don’t do direct links, that is effectively calling the poster a troll outside of the pit. I will fix your post. OK, I added the backquotes before and after the link, so it is fairly easy to follow, but doesn’t insult those outside the pit. **Moderating** For reference: > [@Linking a Pit post about trolling to another thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/linking-a-pit-post-about-trolling-to-another-thread/1003059/7): > > gnoitall sums up the issue pretty well. When we first adopted the rule about insulting other users in thread titles, the Troll thread was a bit of a difficulty, because there really wasn’t a way to rename it so linking from it didn’t accidentally break the rule against insults in non-Pit forums, while still making it clear what the thread was actually about. The workaround (that was arrived at largely by the participants of the Troll thread, and not the mod staff) was to not post any live link… ---

Correct, and I have now finished the link fix. If anyone is curious as to why I moderated this, it is because the link caused an insult in #Politics & Elections. ---

@What_Exit cited the proper post, but just to be extra clear - you can’t include a live link from _this_ thread because it would generate a direct link with the implied insult of the title in the other thread. Other Pit threads, with titles in-line with the current rules, _can_ have live links, though of course, it may be in poor taste. From @Miller’s own follow-up: > [@Linking a Pit post about trolling to another thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/linking-a-pit-post-about-trolling-to-another-thread/1003059/13): > > On reconsideration, I removed this bit from my previous post. “Don’t make links that could possibly be construed as insults,” is a bit more restrictive than I want this to be. The point is to avoid explicit (if unintentional) insults showing up in non-Pit forums, not to completely firewall the Pit off from other forums. If there’s a tangent in the Troll thread about banana bread, and someone links to a really good banana bread recipe in MPSIMS, that should be fine. Stuff that might look like an insult if someone doesn’t take the two seconds to click a link to get the context isn’t an issue. ---

I see that @Clearbluesky has been uncermoniously banned as a sock. His contributions include a few comments in this thread, which may be in the process of disappearing as I speak: > [@The DAR and elitism](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-dar-and-elitism/1024606): > > A few weeks ago, Mrs. Cardigan and I took a guided tour through a museum dedicated to the local history of the town we were visiting. The tour really was both informative and enjoyable. At the end, we lingered to ask the guide a few additional questions which she was happy to answer. I’m sure she picked up on the fact that history is a subject that interests us greatly, because the lady that conducted the tour pitched my wife on the idea that she should consider joining the Daughters of the Amer… ---

> [@FluffyBob](#): > > Is this even a human making those posts? I went through and sampled some posts. Some look like a person who is dim and/or high, or pretending to be if they are a troll. Others look like verbose gibberish such as what you’d get from a badly malfunctioning AI. I do suspect it’s someone fucking with the community, likely a trock.
