[QUOTE=Rubystreak] Why did it take Dex to remove the post? And why wasn’t she warned? Is there some procedural here that I’m missing for why posts are or aren’t removed and people warned or not? Does an apology get you out of a warning? Is the “open spoilers” in a thread title not clear in what it means? Do we have to post a disclaimer at the beginning of every thread? I will if necessary, but honestly, didn’t realize it was necessary. Posting a YouTube link to a bootleg scene from a future ep is sort of out of the realm of what would be posted under “open spoilers” IMO. The Mod reaction has been rather blase. I think that’s fucked up, considering what was posted. But whatever. I think enough ire has been dispensed. [/QUOTE] Making a mistake and owning up to it doesn’t mean you are guaranteed a Mod warning-and repeatedly posting Pit worthy material outside of The BBQ Pit, after being here long enough to have over 9000 posts, doesn’t _excuse_ you from getting one, either. I guess reading and following the rules is just for the newbies, right? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trunk-which-part-of-stop-hijacking-this-thread-did-you-not-understand/437170)._
