The new "banning from thread" action

[The_Dude 1,142]

Context, in the bigger picture Rob & Mel. Read AJ's excellent response above.

That is immaterial to an accusation lobbed in my direction. That may be his rationale, but not mine.

This is an important point. Rob and I don't coordinate our actions. We don't have a secret command center set up or anything like that. It's all fairly spontaneous and each of us has our own reasons for doing what we do (and don't do).

Yes, believe it or not we are separate individuals and have separate motivations for our posts.

Here is the example for you:

Seeing as there is no clear definition of ####### this thread is about, I'll go with the interpretation that makes sense to me.

Whose Next To Take a Dump

Here is the example for you:

And that example proves what? That Rob guessed at the rules and got them sort of right? I say sort of, since AJ is not a member of the Golden Circle allowed to post in that thread.

Here is the example for you:

In the absence of any directive as to what the rules and expected conduct of the game, what am I supposed to assume? I was having some fun, thats not an insult, nor is it a violation of TOS. Context William, remember?

ok I figured out the numbers!!!! spooky decided to give the "regular" posters numbers so he wouldn't have to type their name

So it really is just "whos next".

What happens if I type "Captain Ewok" and instead Brad posts next? Do I get a wedgie?

[Amby 490]

hmmm...I'm not asking anything else

[^_^ 5,021]

it would seem kinda pointless if i typed random member names from the member directory. there has to be a cosnequence fr being wrong.

[SuperDuper! 230]

Am I in an alternate universe? I can totally see why Wm would think this could be a coordinated attack. That said - I bet some of the posters in that thread know exactly what a staged attack might look like - since they themselves used to partake in such fun!

Please, do tell!

Ok I found the rules

From Jenn's first thread:

Not sure if this will catch on, but thought I'd give it a try. Rules are simple. You have to guess who will post after you. If you're right, you get a point. I will post a tally for scores.

Do I get a wedgie?

You rang, si man?

I also posted in there...but I didn't get the memo to join in on the staged 'attack' :lol: I blame Maven, I only went in there because I saw she had posted, I shall refrain from being enticed into threads by her from now on!

Seriously though, threads are derailed every day on OT...is it like something really important might be missed through a small derailment of this particular 'topic'?....the thought of people being banned from such a frivolous thread is hilarious

Woot woot! I lured the esteemed Welshie into bad behaviour -- truly, my elevation to Legacy Member is now complete.

Didn't you know that everything now has the potential to be derailed? I mean, I could easily derail this topic if I liked, AND I could call for it to be closed and invisibilised if I chose (as the OP, natch). To that end, I have GOT to tell you about the next weird date I had, just this past Saturday. I mean, nowhere near as crazy as the previous Friday night's HJ humiliation spectacular, but still kinda sauceh.

Oh wait, am I derailing again?
