They really need to, even though he only got a warning so far. He seems drunk as fuck in almost every post these days. Check this out from last night in his own Silver Surfer thread:

WTF? And when called on it, the next morning he acts as if he had actually made sense.

He's falsely advertising himself as an administrator, though. His title hasn't been changed.

It could be that he still has access to the Admin panel. It could be that he doesn’t anymore so can’t change his own title. Whatever.

[Someone]

He's still without gorm, though.

You would know better than me but I would assume that if you're removed from the Admin group your title would automatically revert to whatever the generic title is. Let's try an experiment: make me an Admin here for an hour or so then switch me back out and see if I keep my title.

Another good : What would an American "civil war" look like?

Although there are a few sane ones in there, it's mostly "My side will kick your asses!" "Bullshit, your side are wimps, we'd mop up the floor with you". Plus plenty of "The NAZIs are coming!".

Neither are you.
Well, you are a member but not the kind that pays.

A clock with roman numerals fell on his head. He was looking in a mirror when he chose the name.

He also has good reasons for not being a paid member, you fucking knob.

Enough people asked me that I think I did a thread on it on the Dope a few years back. It's an exciting tale that involves the ripe early days of AOL. I'll look for it when I'm able.

[Someone]

Here it is! Not my own thread, but a related one:

It was the early '90s. The internet was new, and wild, and free. My dad signed us up for AOL. We had to pick screen names. What screen name would I pick? Andy was chosen! I didn't want to be Andy347!

But then it came to me... Roman pillars!

Roman pillars?!? you ask.

Yes, Roman pillars. Capital "I" looks kind of like a Roman pillar (with serif, of course). So I'd surround my name with Roman pillars. IAndyI was taken. Other variations probably were too. But not IIIAndyIII. So I became IIIAndyIII. My name, flanked by Roman pillars. Intriguing, masculine, mighty.

Then two weeks later I forgot my password and had to create a new one. By then, there weren't as many options left. I went with IIAndyIIII (2 I's, then "Andy", then 4 I's -- people are constantly getting this wrong, including on the Dope).

And at some point in the intervening decades, I got tired of hitting the shift button.

So that's the story. Was it everything you hoped it would be?

[Someone]

That was so boring I just killed myself.

I can understand your confusion. It actually stands for Ed Disfunction. It's recursive like gnu only different.

Just kidding but they have a bright line rule about lying accusations and people like wolfpup and tomndebb think "disingenuous" is a five dollar word that should get around the bright line.

Tibby has some ideas for recruiting new members. Measure for Measure promptly barges in to say WHOA, slow down, we don't want to let just anybody in here. Potential recruits must be carefully screened and indoctrinated, because "board culture."

Well... yeah that's part of the Chancey Tea Room of Free Discussion idiocy.

Their 'bright line' and tortured rule set are fucking stupid, you can't call a spade a spade, no you have to wait for Mrs Chance to get upset enough to put down her tea cup and go "Tsk tsk"...

Their rules on "insulting" have long ago become ridiculous.

Oh, not another, "we can't let in ANY of the riff-raff!" Is it nostalgia on my part, or was the Dope once more welcoming of newbies?


Besides, they keep talking about "board culture", but honestly? All I see is people discussing the same old things, over and over and over. Other than, "no avatars or emojis", that's all I can see. I've noticed various changes to the "culture" over the years. As for "intellectual content", give me a break. This is the board that had a thread about pan-fried semen and where a guy admitted to rimming out his golden retriever.

Sorry, I hate to sound so bitter, but I'm so tired of all the cliquish crap. I thought I left that back in high school.

I guess his definition of "cunt" means "iiandyiii posted".

Is this "I have grown since high school and cliques are sooo immature" bit in response to one stupid MfM post? Cause that's a thin branch to make yourself feel superior.
