pig slut lisa: irl is good

Ok, try this on for size. Someone had a lot of questions, so many that they wrote a book and handed it to that guy. However, the answers to all their questions are in the rules, so he's pointing to them.

thanks. that makes sense.

"If you would just read the rules, you wouldn't have to write books like this."

the trick is they knew the answers all along, they just wanted to get published, now they can publish a sequel with all the answers by just publishing the rules all over again easy breeezy

It is against the rulez to publish a book with an unclear or misleading cover.

jeez noobs, ever heard of a metaphor? the book, appropriately marked with a "?", represents the second set of vague, unknown rules the elites use to retain their power. Like those used against my friend, junky gunket.

I think he's saying "hey, who tore this page, the first page of the 'Rulez' chapter, out of my question mark book?"

i think it's "you wouldn't have to keep asking so many questions if you just read the rules"

it's like a word bubble with a question mark, but the smiley is a bibliophile so they replace they with a book with a ? on it, likely inside is neatly written in cursive "Why didn't you read the rules?"

Oh, I got one tip: always use at least a couple of different words in your posts. Mix it up a little from post to post. You can also hammer your keyvoard and just delete all the nonsens and maybe there's a diamond in the rough hidden inside it all

Ralp: by Jeffrey of YOSPOS

I worry a little whether GJ sees this whole thread as a procedural hoop she was made to jump through before she is allowed to go back to posting the same way as ever, rather than a resource she can continue to use for her own benefit. It is difficult for me to know what I've successfully communicated to her and I guess that is no less my fault than hers, since it takes two to communicate.

One thing that was mentioned earlier but I think bears emphasizing, is that not all of Gunky Junket's posts are unsuitable for the forums. She has made posts that are totally fine, I'm not going to check post history but it's safe to assume the majority are unobjectionable. I don't even ask her posts necessarily be good (though multiple BYOB posters already find them good), but whatever the easiest way to get to a 100% rate of merely unobjectionable or better, would be a total success for the goal of this thread.

The qualities of the posts that seem objectionable to me are:

1) They're long
2) They include lots of pictures
3) They include uncomfortably intimate appeals to particular posters (I understand that GJ was probably just joking about being infatuated with Franco, but it was still weird)
4) They don't "play along" with the tone or content of the thread they're in
5) They are objectionable in bulk. One long post here or there isn't weird, but when you chain a bunch of them together it gives the uncomfortable impression that you're out of control

i don't know whether this is right, but there it is

I should add that all of Ralp's actions against me have happened in his forum - QCS.

I suggest maybe staying away from QCS, that is likely not the forum for you. Think of it like FYAD except instead of being beecocked and chain probated you are beecocked and banned a bunch

If GunkyJunket really is an Australian Woman, I hope she becomes infatuated with me, because Australian Women are the most beautiful women in the world, especially if they know the word "junket".

or how your day was, what you had for lunch. etc. byob, I didn't have lunch today. I completely skipped it. I was also supposed to interview someone for a hire today and they stood me up, no call or anything. So thanks for flying the red flag early, I guess, but I could've gone to lunch instead.
