We are all individuals and must be bribed as such. I'll warn you, I have expensive tastes.

What proportion of the time do you find it enjoyable and rewarding, compared to the times it's less enjoyable (for whatever reason)?

It's become pretty routine but mostly enjoyable. I have my days, though - those days I prefer to put the hammer down and walk away.

Nah, it's not like that. It's just banter, as Tibs said.

I have two questions?

Is it true that Administrators are Sith lords and that there can never be but two, a master and an apprentice?

And, how many Moderators are necessary to achieve a balance in the force? (Do they get light sabers?)

Does AF have a 'form letter' to send to bannees that they are banned, or is something new and fun created each occasion ??

Or do they just find the door locked next time they log on, and get to figure it out themselves ??


(I kinda like the last one)

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I (and other admins) have in the past, when investigating reports that require us to do so.  I happens infrequently, and I personally didn't like having to do it on the rare occasions when I have.  That being said, you should not consider PM a secure channel.

Dang, so I can't send naked pics to CM.  Wink

Damn the Man! Do it anyway! Wink

you could always fb messenger them to me if you don't want the mods to see it Angel

I like sapphires, black roses, and expensive cars.

Also, nice dresses.

I don't hold any real power here or anywhere else but you can bribe me too. Waffles and nutella. Or just a truckload of $$$. I'm not picky Smile
