Re: Official Forum Rules and Guidelines
Well after more than 3 years, it has finally become necessary to officially start knocking heads around here. Keep it clean and no one gets hurt.
Re: Official Forum Rules and Guidelines
Based on this I have a vision of getting perma-banned eventually.

Re: Official Forum Rules and Guidelines
All I can say is I am proud of the moderator group being led on this one by our one and only 7th_son.
Keep it up and we'll get back to where we were and what we want to be.
Few odds & ends...
Hawke... might want to create a few extra accounts now and go ahead and establish alter egos. That way at least some part of you can survive.
Dude... be careful...
Everyone else, either I think you are doing great and belong here or I've written you off and you should be gone. I'll leave that up to you.
And finally, I'm not in power here so the things I just said don't mean squat.

I'll also be sure to include cover sheets on all of my TPS reports from now on as well.

Are there any odds on who will be banned first?

The odds line would have had you high on the list but it seems maybe you have changed your evil ways :-)Stl_ben wrote:Are there any odds on who will be banned first?

Re: Official Forum Rules and Guidelines
Those rules sound fair to me. I hope the mods dont have to deal with a lot of drama. Good luck.
