Private conversations with moderators (vanity)

[Kurt Evans]

Is there a standard procedure here for having a private conversation with a moderator?

I have found it's really very simple: Don't try, or they'll ban you for being uppity.

You have rendered my obligatory

I tried once, but those Bombay accents are really hard to understand.

But if you hit the Abuse button on yourself, doesn’t it become the Self-abuse button?

If it did, I'd be blind with furry palms by now.

such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

Ah, but we'll be ready for you next time. Posts, everyone!

The moderators at work:

They saved my butt today.

How come we only have moderators? Why not conservators or liberators?

“Posts, everyone!”

No way.

To answer your question, substituting the "@" symbol for "a" when typing profanity does not constitute effective avoidance of the general forum prohibition on profanity. (Or "!" for "i," or any other form one sees 12-year-olds using). If you see profanity on the forum, click Report Abuse and it will be removed.

Years upon years ago, when I was a newbie, an old-timer told me that "if you can't make your point without using profanity, it's not much of a point you're making."

We good with post 34? I reported it an hour ago...

You still didn’t explain why besides removing my post I was banned for 48 hours?????Do you ban everyone that gets the abuse button or just remove their post? All I’m asking is to be treated the same as everyone else.

They are only sold right now (season 1) on those "call 1-800-xxx-yyyy" television ads.

Keep your eyes out for used copies showing up on amazon, but don't buy them until after I do.

I almost was able to snipe a copy on ebay... missed it by this much.

The mods have FBI files on every poster here. Mine has a few paragraphs.

I submitted a bogus abuse report on the first message in this thread immediately after I posted it. I clarified that I wasn’t actually reporting abuse, but that if the moderators wanted to pull the thread after they’d seen the question, they were welcome to do so.

There’s nothing bizarre about the way the question is worded, and I started this thread in the chat forum. After “HAL9000” suggested I was asking for phone sex, the moderators ensured my name would be exposed to the maximum possible amount of mockery and defamation by moving the thread to the news forum.

Thanks. In a better world that would have been the first and only response to my question.

Shove it.
