maybe it's my old age
but I'm not too fussed about the rules (man) ... it's irking when someone's being a cunt - but they're normally trying to be a cunt so they're not going to stop. Learners will learn about the conventions eventually and they should be encouraged more than they are.

understandable. But there are people that are (me included sometimes)
so a nice, easy to read comic-book format guide to the main things to avoid was, I thought, a rather helpful thing to produce, so people can be presented with it in case of a breach instead of unhelpful insults.

good point
but see if I see this ... all the fucking time, and you're waving it around like a kid with his cock in his hand any time a new person shows the slightest sign of weakness - we're going to have words and the words will be 'HEXY YOU WANKER - OOootside NOW!'

wrong
nothing wrong with TOAP
A good joke requires no technical ability whatsoever, and is vastly more worthy than some piccy that is laboured over but a bit crap.
EDIT: And, as others say, you're a nonce.
edit: I also disagree with basically everything you say.
The only rule is "be funny or interesting". Which can't be turned into a series of only do X here, only Y here.

you remind me actually
of the times that someone starts a new thread with just text and someone helpfully calls them a cunt and tells them to go and check the faq and then puts them on ignore anyway -- if they checked the faq i believe they'd find something about how it's best not to start a new thread with just text, but nothing that actually says not to do it...
also i'm reminded of a time some brainless fuckwit who will remain nameless decided to hurl abuse at me and tell me to go to the faq because... err... i linked a post that was nsfw. stupid bitch.

no, i didn't mean you're a stupid bitch! i've nothing against you at all. just ruminating on naziism and all that -- absolutely nothing personal intended!

Fair enough.
This won't stop people getting angry though. This isn't a definitive guide to the rules... the FAQ is that. But there are things that aren't in the FAQ that still get regulars really angry. This is a guide to THOSE things.

it's just dogma
and posting this when people break "the rules" isn't going to stop people getting angry
it'll just rile people

i thought the reason people got apoplexy over thread deletions wasn't so much the deletion of all the witty and helpful repartee but was more because a new post pushes one off the board but a deletion doesn't bring it back.
fuck the witty repartee. i can live without seeing a million people posting 250k fail images.
