We have to consult with our accounting department, to make sure such bets don't pose a fiscal liability to the forum.

There are several rules that could be interpreted in a way that would make it prohibited.  I.e., rules 3, 4, & 13.  But none of them seem explicit on this point.  But all of them come close enough that I would ask before making such a thread.

In essence the no calling out rule comes to mind. Making a thread aimed at a particular user, or in intent to make other users targets, instead of their ideas is against that rule.

As to bans, it is the staff burden.

There you go. The fact that we don't have a rule specifically about every possible action tells you why we spend such a lot of time discussing these things before taking action. Though there may not be anything explicitly about the point, let me ask: do you really want to be 'that' guy?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Almost reported the "You near them all the nasty sup the question" post, but it was apparently reported. I like that new feature.

That was a particularly hard-working spambot earlier. I looked at Today's Posts and thought something had gone wonky with the forum code Tongue
