No, that is not what that means at all.

I don't foresee that, but if that's where it organically grows then I wouldn't stop it either. Here is what I've put down for clubs since I shared the last draft (as a practical matter, mods/admins can access even private/closed clubs regardless of whether they're a member but haven't tested how abuse reports work there though): - In member-created Clubs, members can customize their own rulesets. However, custom club rules cannot be more lax than the Dumpster Fires ruleset. In order for a club to have custom rules, those rules must be posted in the club. If no rules are posted or if the custom rules are unclear, the default UEMB rules apply.

Lawyers don't have a First Amendment right to lie within the context of their professional practice. Obviously Rudy was his "lawyer" in name only and really engaging in the PR effort, but all the lying and fabrications (for said PR effort) were under the auspices of his law practice.

not all gameplay hours are equal the weekend The Wind Waker came out on gamecube, I spent the entire first day stuck in the market at the very beginning where you need to find a sail for your boat. this was 2002, pre-any sort of real-time internet help type stuff. the website was just an advertisement for the game and forum type stuff wasn't big yet. there was one eskimo dude standing between two wood structures under a staircase, and when I'd walk up to him he would say something like 'talk to me over there' which didn't make any sense. it took me the entire day to figure out (by accident, probably because I noticed the tooltip pop up when i walked close enough) that he wanted me to talk to him across the wood thing instead of face to face, because it was actually a shop counter. then he sells you his sail for a pittance and the main adventure begins.

happy birthday azalar

happy birthday azalar !

i am working real hard (props)

Shout-out to @jackiemarie90too but I was busy and couldn't join but thanks for the invite

the best friendening has occurred i repeat the best friendening has occurred

sounds good, shoot another post once you've used the egg

we're one interaction short of becoming best friends, which is 100K XP - or 200K XP if using a lucky egg. if you want to use a lucky egg and time it together, that is.

@DragonSinger do you want me to pop the bf? there's 3x catch cp for community day, so it's a good time to burn a lucky egg

No, panic and I had a discussion about the nuances of nudity last weekend or last week and it became obvious it wasn't really worth it to draw lines on that. Just don't totally overdo it.

you are (you just gotta believe)

I can go through and conform everything I tried to scalpel as much original JMC/Luuv language I could, and I think that was one of his sentences.

I'm not manually adjusting your post count every time you forget to put your pants on outside of the folder and make an alt.

It's a stupid point, given that it's tethered to the account and not the person.

"We need to make it even more exclusive - higher post count gate, double it! But also I got banned so you need to make an exception for me." gtfoh with that

I've never liked the DF concept, and I've always been open about thinking the specific cocktail was a mistake from the start. I've already articulated the ins and outs, don't really need to get into it. Not everyone who enjoys it is a problem, but it creates perverse incentives to cause trouble and fosters elitist bullshit. However, I'm also a realist and it's my job to work within reality and not the inside of my head. Your advice was welcome and was factored in as I was drafting this, and it will be factored in in the subsequent conversation about moderation. If people can't recognize this attitude is literal cancer, I don't know what to tell you. This is completely 100% where the flippant comments about creating a club come from.

Civility is the general category, if you bothered to read the thread. You clearly created an account with someone else's account name from another site and quoted them verbatim from that site to elicit a reaction. There's no particular nuance beyond that which matters. Tentatively, the draft rules say: Civility Don't be toxic. This includes harassment, flaming, starting unnecessary arguments, backhanded or malicious comments, purposefully annoying members or making them uncomfortable, promoting self-harm, etc. If a member asks you to stop bothering them, please do so. Discrimination and bigotry will not be tolerated. This includes, racism, transphobia/homophobia, religious, ableist, misogyny, and other forms of discrimination, including hate speech or the use of slurs in any context (“ironic” or “joking” instances are not acceptable). Please be respectful and understanding of the staff team. Respect the decisions made by all staff, they are (mostly) human too. When you are asked to stop, you are expected to listen and not argue about it publicly (use PMs or the Hey Mod! thread). Avoid backseat moderating/mini-modding and avoid tagging staff unless something needs immediate attention. We recognize this list may not encapsulate every aspect of interpersonal civility. We reserve the right to act as needed or expand this list further. The whole point of this exercise is that people have been saying for four years we don't have real rules, and that we've been winging it - which is true. And this whole thing is supposed to standardize the decision making to a degree. If all this boils down to you thinking I can't distinguish between my or my friends' personal opinions and formal decision-making, or that this is a concerted plot to kick you personally off the site, I must be extremely incompetent in your mind given that, if I do whatever I want, I could just spotban you or anyone else without needing to throw away my holiday weekend dealing with your drama.

Yes, the actual IP address was buddy, and I conveyed that fact - not the IP address itself. To that end, Westpark and Nabs don't share an IP - but Westpark wasn't trolling you for the better part of a day either. He disappeared after I warned him for casual racism.
