Wow, after my post seems they went on to fully show themselves, the things you miss due to sleep (dammit!).

Although that should make the new ‘Troll’ Movie - after the lights go out keep listening, the tippy-tippy-tap of the the Troll’s keyboards come awake!

I think I get to make my own jackboots, now.

Heads up for everyone: some mods get caught up in bloodlust after their first kill. Watch out for a reign of terror across the boards from **puzzlegal**.

I’ve got 79\* pelts but almost all of them are 5 trocks.

\* Number made up, no clue the actual number. The 5 Trocks is for reals though.

In the immortal words of William Munny, [“We’ve all have it coming, kid.”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lYVggyHRkY)

And don’t give them ideas, imagine how much less work the mods would have. They could ‘accidently’ ban us all for just a few days and decompress!

I don’t mind being ruled by terror as long as the jackboots are suitably fetching.

(I will not insist on “sparkly” because each mod must find their own way.)

I think in my first month as a mod, I accidently blocked @Monty’s IP. I still have no idea how I did it.

I checked, I actually silenced his profile. Probably while clearing out spammers, but it is extra strange as we don’t silence spammers, we just delete or ban them. I profusely apologized and he was very nice and understanding about it.

That’s nothing. **Marley23** _banned the entire board_ within minutes of starting in his new role as an Admin.

I’ll see if I can find the thread.  
ETA: Found it.

Not much seems to have come from it other than a few hours of massive productivity, some nervous reflection of people’s posts (why was I banned?), and a blip of humour. Most everyone knows what I’m referring to now, but in a month or two? Want to refer to it in a year but can’t think of an apt descriptor? Well, we need a name. In fact, per\*\* Marley23\*\*: I’m partial to Marloutage, with, thanks t…

Wow, I was around then so I guess I can say I’ve been banned from the SDMB before. 😃

I wasn’t around very often in those days so I am sure I never tried to log in while it was in effect, or noticed anything else out of the ordinary. I don’t even remember the discussion. I think I was 95% a GQ lurker at the time anyway.

I’d say either Chris Walken or Bill Shatner commas.
