I always thought it was to make a stand against the newbies that were allowed to post every tuesday,
who ended up trolling and generally ruining the place.
Not to actually become a troll and ruin the place yourself.

It has nothing to do with new people.
The fact that it exists on Tuesday is arbitrary.
It might as well be Penis Thursday.
