> [@Cartooniverse](#): > > **Drunky Smurf** , I’ve been Searching for the cite. Unfortunately, there are billions ( 😃 ) of posts that contain the prohibited words and yet I can’t find the warning against it. There isn’t one. People have probably been told (or even warned) to knock it off with that stuff because Dopers are experts at running jokes into the ground, and some of the buckeye stuff became borderline (or not so borderline) harassment of **OpalCat**. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone was told “Enough with ‘Hi Opal’ already” at some point, but there’s no blanket rule against either. People frequently misunderstand instructions like these. > [@"The Usual Suspects"](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-usual-suspects/564961/69): > > That’s my understanding. Some folks took it way too far and were basically pursuing the user in question about the board, trying to bait said user repeatedly after the subject had been long dropped. It was obnoxious behavior by a few that was addressed as such. > [@Cartooniverse](#): > > The first cite you gave, [http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2993/](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2993/) , is signed by gfactor. Not Cecil Adams. > > Are you stating that gfactor is Cecil Adams ? No, I just didn’t read that one carefully enough. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-does-the-g-q-forum-have-this-description/650084)._
