Now a threadjack...
Banning is a last resort option, and we'd prefer not to use it. Please read our forum rules to ensure we don't have to.
^ That actually says "Please read our forum rules to save us reading them ourselves" - doesn't it? How can I make it say what I really mean?

# Hmmmmm
Could do. But I rather liked the "to ensure we don't have to" - I thought it was quite clever. It would be, too, if I could make it work properly...

EDIT: Or does it work perfectly adequately already? Am I just being a silly pedantic bastard?

# Yes!
I knew one of you clever B3tans would have the answer. As a token of my gratitude, have a Yay-lion, and an IOU note for a jaffacake.

# 'Lovely friends' is much nicer!
:)

Suppose it depends whether you're running some kind of mind-blowingly serious messageboard, though - it wouldn't really work on a paedo victims support network or whatever. :/

# Or
That works too. You may fight Ptolemy for the prize.

/I like grey kid's too, but the rest of the message is quite formal. His would work well on a b3ta-style message, but not this one.
