Do it again and you'll get a ban.

And just what the heck is up with the 'signature' deal? It's kinda jarring on the format. It looked so clean and simple before Undecided (And I mean like... it was obviously a signature.. adding the word's just kinda... bleh)

It was beautiful.

What happens to these controversial works of art??? If nothing else they could go into the hall of shame .. just to teach you a lesson.

Really? No gauntlet? No pink name tag? None of those wonderfully elaborate little deterrents? Straight to ban?
Thats just insulting.

Make the meme and post it on your facebook like a good adolescent.

You see, I find the term adolescent being applied to me slightly offensive to me personally. What I find really offensive is that you didn't bother to put it in an amusing meme instead of an unimaginative sentence.
I could of laughed at that.

Can't really see having to remove four of my posts a year being particularly taxing if I'm honest but I'll take your word for it.

I don't know if you were being sarcastic here or not, and alluding to God and what not.

"Yes" and "sort of", in that order. I wasn't alluding to God (or any god, come to that) per se so much as the common claim that if there is no Supreme Authority Figure, then there's nothing to stop us running amok and basically doing anything we like. It was just a silly joke in response to

which I totally agree with, by the way.
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.'

RD, it is the discussion about what to do, the conversation with whoever reported it, explaining why you weren't banned to whoever you were insulting, the removing of the post, the actual warning, the inevitable "why the fuck would you blah, blah, blah" retort from either you, the reporter or the insulted, etc. that adds up to a pain in the ass.

If you don't think purposely breaking the rules and announcing it is not juvenile, you're doing it wrong.

Not to mention that all of the above requires discussion between people in far-flung timezones. If a resolution could be reached in minutes (by virtue of having a quorum of staff in one place at one time), it would be less of a pain in the ass.

It's all part of the job, but when someone sets out break rules intentionally, and announces it... well, it's a bit annoying and leaves us with little choice, regardless of how we might personally feel about a member.

My last retort to a warning was one admiring the picture they put in place of mine but ok, fair point.
Have to say, not sure how any of the people I poked fun at could have the gall to demand I be banned after the many insulting and rather outrageous things they've said to many, many people on this forum.
The only difference is I do it far, far less and have the courtesy to make an effort with it. I was going to give this one a sparkly frame and everything. Do they appreciate it? Noooo.
Didn't get one thank you from Catfish for going to the trouble of finding that image. Ungrateful.

Pretty sure that last sentence didn't make sense.
Are you saying theres a right way to break the rules?
