That will be dealt with as well. Two shits don’t make a right or something like that.

Address this: The actual problem you probe me for is the idiots who respond to normal back and forth discussion with "OMG WHY IS ZAURG HERE" and they poo poo up an entire page of a thread that was moving along just fine before their poo poo-post.

Tasers, I know. loving brilliant.



Your BFC thread was closed so you have only the TFLC thread and the running thread to post in. Technically you should be banned for the post I just quoted. P.S. Tase you are balls

Thank you for the reference! I shall apply it moving forward.

I want to be clear, though: Zaurg derails require two participants to take off. I'll ban him if he shows up, but I'm going to start probating people who derail the thread shouting at Zaurg for anything other than bad advice/stupid posts (if he posts hot garbage, go to town). A full page of Taser jokes doesn't help the thread either, and if the option was still around I'd just request a Hellban and move on.

Probably not, but you can try. Not sure where else would be right on a dead gay forum.

I cannot believe I need to post this in 2021, but here we are:

Ableist, racist, or sexist slurs are not ever acceptable in BFC. This includes all the usual terrible terms you think of when cataloging these kinds of words, including the female genitalia substitute commonly used in Australia. Sorry, aussies - that one's a non-starter here.

- No, you may not use them because your friends say them all the time.
- No, you may not use them to describe a public figure that the forum largely agrees is a terrible person.
- No, you may not use them ironically, or try to weasel around this.
- No, even if you need that slur to fit the format of a dirty limerick about Trump, you may not use it. (Guilty as charged, ate a week for that in D&D last year. :v:)
- Yes, you may directly quote someone that used it if it is relevant to ongoing discussion. As an example, part of the QAnon Shaman's legal defense post Jan-6 insurrection used an ableist slur. Quoting that, discussing it directly in context of the quote, is okay.

I will ramp probes for use of slurs. I've been doing 6'ers before, but I'm starting at 1D moving forward. If you try to argue it in a "WELL ACTUALLY" sort of way, I'll probably extend the probation because gently caress you.


If you cannot find a substitute word for what you want to say in the entirety of the English language, BFC may not be the place for you.

I think the old one got closed due to inactivity, any new LinkedIn thread will probably meet the same fate.

There is no reason you can't make a new one. I think the other one just faded into obscurity. :shrug:

Hey folks!

There's going to be a change in management here in BFC Corporation Incorporated. No, it has nothing to do with the sudden lack of coffee in the breakrooms, or the rumored layoffs in the cafeteria. In short, the current Chief Probation Officer has decided that he is hanging up his hat to actually spend more time with his family. He has a toddler now, too much going on, and in his grand quest to be more productive with his free time decided that SA is part of what must go.

Once the onboarding process is finished, please welcome back Moana, who was dumb enough to agree to be a mod again is excited for the new opportunity to increase shareholder value and absolutely has no intention of abusing Executive Hot Tub privileges.

It's been a good 16 years. You guys have fun. Be good to each other unless the other is Zaurg, in which case find a way to probate him for another 30 days please. Thanks for being so awesome, BFC.

I don't know, is it going to annoy people or turn a thread into a bunch of people posting their referral links? I'd say if someone asks for a referral link to something (like that HM Bradley account deal) then you can just PM them your link. If nobody is asking, then don't post a link. Does that work?

Is there a thread anywhere for full remote workers? My job is now officially permanently remote, and there's a lot to consider -- do I move somewhere with a lower COL, do I go full nomad, etc. Not making any changes in a hurry, but it would be great to read more about all the possibilities and aspects I haven't even considered yet.

There’s some chatter in the corporate thread. But :justpost: I bet a lot of people want to talk about it.

Greetings, BFC. Due to the modless status of the subforum and someone's misguided recommendation, I am a new BFC mod. Because of my obvious destiny to eventually step down like every other BFC mod, I recommended the admins even go so far as to recruit another mod in addition to me! Time will tell if they manage to snag another poor sap to help out.

All the most recent rules stated by prior mods in this thread still apply. If anyone has issues or recommendations that they don't feel like posting here, well, my PMs are open.

:patriot: and..... I am that other mod! :patriot:

Feel free to slide into my PMs as well.

(for BFC moderation related issues only though, please).

I've been around forever, although I admit I don't actively read *all* the threads here. I'll get some more bookmarked, but honestly everything seems pretty chill and relaxed. Good job posting everyone!
