Yeah...right. I had one extra word. Crawl back into your hole.
I am now taking bets on which one of these guys will get banned first. Please PM me to get the Odds.

LMAO
LOL

I finally got a mod quote :D :p

I've always wanted a Mod Quote, but I try to avoid the Mod's attention. This thread being the obvious exception. :)

As a general rule, I figure drawing the Mod's attention is bad idea.

I just realized... that 25% vacation rate doesn't include those who have been banned for life! :D

Someone remind me to follow the rules!

Didn't you read my first post in this thread? I try to keep a low profile. I'd walk away before it got to the point of a ban. :D

I think that about half the time a Mod Edit comes with a vacation attached. :) I don't think I wanna play them odds!

The only Mod edits I have recieved were always good! I could find them if I were still a subscriber. I know of a few:

Checkbox Flame + Evadman = Awesome!

Some people just do not learn.

You are out of here permantly.

[/sarcasm]

The mistakes of the one should not affect the many.

Sorry, I forgot one Zuni edit. I don't know how that escaped me.

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 (asking who cannot read the font) and a link to the poll in every 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.

No, but I've really been wanting to go to Europe. So, Mods, if you would like to set up a vacation fund for me, I certainly wouldn't mind.

:lips: :heart: ;)

I've posted plenty of locked/deleted threads.

I think one of the threads had to do with toilet paper. :)

I have had exactly 1 locked/deleted thread. The title was:
Poll: Is Jerboy an ass *****ing Clown who should be banned from AT and RL?

It was deleted in less than a minute. It did get a few hits on the poll tho. I am supprised I never got a PM about that.

Best Thread of all time: Butter (not mine of course)

I have never been given a vacation without good reason.

At least I take responsibility for my actions (typing?).

Yeah, I got a vacation. 3 days for clicking the "reply" button in one of those "he who posts last wins" threads many times. Heh yeah...haven't done that since.

Last October I spent an entire month on vacation for insinuating that a particular mod had taken on characteristics reminiscent of a now defunct German political party of the 1930's and 1940's, when I expressed my opinion regarding certain threads of the time being locked for insufficient reason.

The mods here, while often witty, do not take criticism well.
