**Marley23** , whether through causation or correlation, was the main participant in an epic SDMB moment. 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\*\*: > [@name calling](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/name-calling/595221/39): > > I’m sure we can come up with a better name than that, and I say that not just because I’d like to see a nickname that doesn’t blame it all on me quite so much. :smack: I’m partial to _Marloutage_, with, thanks to\*\* Capitaine Zombie\*\*, a Frenchesque pronunciation: mar-low-TAGE (or however a silly French accent is affected). But I’m of the low-humour and creativity ilk, and am sure Dopers can come up with something better. Anyone? ---

Definitely “marloutage,” with fake French accent. Sorry, **Marley** , the fact that this happened about five seconds after you became an admin is essential to its place in board lore. ---

Given the nature of the ban, the blIP would be appropriate. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > It definitely does. I’m just wondering if my name has to be on it. 😉 I don’t know why - you always want that vague threat hanging over everyone’s heads like the raised back hand and the menacing “I swear to god, I’ll…” look. I mean, look, no one wanted Uncle Cranley to come to the family reunion and get drunk and slap the kids around when they got rowdy, but since he did - well, when we got out of line again all it took was one “We \*can \*call Uncle Cranley back over, ya know.” And there was peace. Take advantage,\*\* Sir Marloutage\*\*. ---

Yeah, from now on, on the darkest corners of the internet, where trolls and spammers gather to prepare their nefarious deeds, the whisper will sometime be heard “that **Marley23** is really hardcore, he once banned ALL the posters in the MB, just for looking at him funny” ---

At some point I think I will change my custom title to something like “And I’d do it again.” I think that’ll send the message. ---

Marley’s Poltergeist? (Marley’s Post is a nice rhyme with Marley’s Ghost, but makes not much sense, since it wasn’t a post.) ---
