If there was a thread that said, for example, ā€œ **Qadgop the Mercotan** has been warned repeatedly for violations of cheese rules on the SDMB and is hereby placed on Double-Secret Probation,ā€ it might tempt some of our weaker members into asking him about gouda, just to see if they could push him over the edge.
