Nope. If someone was to post the unrwitten rules, then they would become written rules, thus no longer being unwritten.

Couldn't have said it better myself.:D

The unwritten rule is actually a mathematical formula too long and complex for you to understand anyway. The inputs are the degree of obnoxiousness/childishness/inflamatory/etc. remarks you make. Other inputs include "post count", "How liked/disliked you are here", and "does anyone know you".

The function returns one of 4 outputs: ban, vacation, warn, or ignore.

Despite the formula's incredible complexity, mods have almost an idiot-savant ability to determine the answer nearly instantaneously after reading your post and glancing at your name and post count.
(although I've suspected the mean-mod actually has to use a calculator)

Classic!

I learned you can't do a parody of one of your own threads... "Breakin' the law, breakin' the law -- dun-dun-dun"

Look , Lurk , Learn . Some of the more radical posters will come up mia and that should clue you . Nude pics/urls/cuss words/ect will get you banned . Use some common sense and you should be fine .
