More grist for the mod mill

[Janet H]

After much begging and many offers of bribery, Marquette has agreed to help out the mod team. Thanks for taking on the extra duties and helping out - those free samples of Nike shoes, cell phones and enhancement pills are in the mail to you!

 

[Marquette]

Boy, that dude sounds like a real [moderator edit - no personal attacks].

 

[REWahoo]

Hey, no personal attacks! But yes, he is a maroon...

How much booze did you have to put in him before he'd take the job?

Which end?

 

[cute fuzzy bunny]

Optimally, both.

Congrats, Marquette. But I wonder -- isn't the market meltdown enough punishment for one year?

Shhh! [-]We are an opportunistic lot and take advantage of 'em when they're not paying attention.[/-] We're hoping Marquette views this as a positive experience

You mean people actually read those things?

Will answering in the affirmative cause me any trouble with that restraining order?

Not sure - let's ask Marquette.

Oh boy, what a loaded question.

If I get a vote, I'd request, Khan, that you add 5000 points to the Dow by the end of this week. The other 1,000 you could do next week.

Congrats and thank you [-]sucka[/-]!

Go easy on me, I'm kinda loopy from my turn in the barrel.

Hey, no personal attacks! But yes, he is a maroon...

"maroon 1 |məˈroōn|
adjective
of a brownish-crimson color.
noun
1 a brownish-crimson color.
2 chiefly Brit. a firework that makes a loud bang, used mainly as a signal or warning. [ORIGIN: early 19th cent.: so named because the firework makes the noise of a chestnut (see below) bursting in the fire."

According to the laptop dictionary, noun number two, the British are invading again, be warned, be very warned.

 

[REWahoo]

See #1: Urban Dictionary: maroon

Bring candy for your favorite moderator. Don't argue for a day.

I'll be selling bannings all day. $5 for 3 days. $10 for 7 days. Perma-bans will cost quite a bit more.

 

[cute fuzzy bunny]

How much are we talking, because I still have a lot of cash, and its all tied to...well..its not tied to the gold standard.

GOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDD...DDD...LDDD!

 

[Gotadimple]

Bannings As in, no longer on the forums? I'm shocked! Why let the offenders off so easily?

Certainly, a more fitting punishment would be restriction -- to the Soap Box in perpetuity.
