*** Three-day ban for flamebait. *** You may notice your penalties for flamebaiting keep increasing. That's because you keep doing it. Guess what happens when we run out of bans?
This is the very phrase we warned against in the Margaret Thatcher thread, in which you were a participant. *** Warned for gloating ***.Hippostania wrote:Ding dong, the witch doctor is dead soon!
Guys, when the British ex-PM died Nervun set out some mod requirements for discussion of such events. Here's an edited-for-gender reprise:

A few ground rules:
Yes, he may be dying; that does not mean that we cannot have a discussion about his life and the value thereof. We respectfully ask that posts along the lines of "Show some respect!" remain unposted.
Yes, some people don't/didn't like him, but gloating over his condition/death will be considered trolling. Posts along the lines of "Ding dong the witch is dead/dying" will end up with a house dropped on them.
Yes, some people love/loved him, but getting angry over people who don't will also be highly frowned on. Posts along the lines of "You idiots don't realize how great he was!" will be sunk to the bottom of the sea.
In other words, as always, debate, discuss, have fun, but don't attack others or gloat. We will be watching this thread.
