Nope, but there does seem to be preferential treatment by the mods. Certain people can say anything and never get touched while other rules apply to the rest of us.
the panty thread was really tasteless and deserving of a lock itself and would have been had not the people posting it been who they were.

not a whine. just an observation ;)

what panty thread?? I want to read it!

I was almost banned back when NOWHEREMAN got ousted. I made a few assnine threads and was threatened by the mods to STFU or be gone forever.

Wow... just wow... I think Binar deserves an award for stupidity or something. :confused:

And no, I've never received a vacation *knocks on wood* but if I did, I certainly wouldn't follow Binar's example here... I'd email the mods like you're supposed to and sacrifice the appropriate speed Celeron...

/shakes head

:confused:

:Q

edited in confusion...


We no longer accept Celerons. Other offerings will be considered though.

Mod in charge of Offerings ;)

What, you forgot already?! It was a week, but as soon as that vacation was over, I started a RL vacation in which my new lappy & truck were stolen, so I actually didn't post for 2 weeks. Now you know....The rest of the story... Good Day!

<edit>
How the hell did you get 3,000 posts in front of me?! You got an autoposter or what?

There have been a few times I've typed something that needed to be said, but at the last moment I clicked the back button and never posted it. Maybe one of those would have gotten me a ban, but so far I'm ban free. I'm also Mod edit free :(. So what is the record for a thread with the most Mod edits? Does this thread come close?

Edit: Opps sorry I forgot about my one 'abuse'. It was right after a major FuseTalk update and ~25% of the frequent AT users couldn't read the text without changing the resolution to something awful (I needed 800x600 on a 21" monitor to read the text). I posted a poll and a link to the poll in every AT forum. I got a Zuni edit and my poll posts/links deleted completely. No ban though. A few days later there was a new font option in your profile section.
