Because that's the correct action. The guy wasn't serious about Aatrek secretly posting here, but it's still something the admins need to look at.

remember how Noni was a GBS mod

why did that happen
I remember Noni being a funny poster before that. Sometimes making funny posters into mods isn't a good idea, because it turns out being a mod isn't funny.

Yeah I really love that Rolling Stones song and yet I didn't catch the reference simply because the inherent joke FactsAreUseless made is that disabled people are the devil. :twisted:

(Otherwise the joke works; 'they hate it when you try to guess their nickname based upon their disability' is pretty drat terrible :cheers:)
It's actually just because the post had the phrase "sympathy for the disabled" which sounds a little like "sympathy for the devil." because of the d and l sounds.

That is legitimately fun. Are mod challenges still a thing at all? I've seen some in E/N, I guess, where users had to prove they actually listened to good advice, but nothing actually funny.
Rarely. People forget the number of mod challenges that went badly. Also, the purpose of a mod challenge was always to give a bad poster a chance to redeem themselves in some funny way, and these days, most of the really bad posters are re-reg idiots obsessed with negative attention. Mod challenges were generally on people who didn't lurk before posting and showed up and did something clueless and stupid. We just don't have those kinds of new registration numbers anymore.

Chris had taken $50 ($40 of which he had got the previous day for his birthday) with him. He found out this would not be enough cash when he was faced with $11 tolls (according to Bob, Chris had never been on a toll road before), starting in Breezewood, Pennsylvania.[10] At around 4:30 that afternoon he stopped in Streetsboro, Ohio to spend money on food and gas. He purchased $11.68 worth of gas from Sheetz, and got a small Hamburger with mayonnaise and a Lemonberry Slushie from Sonic.[11] According to Chris the slushie was made with real fruit, and had two lemon wedges in it.[12]

People seem to confuse density and weight of woods with whether it's a "hardwood" or "softwood". The classification has to do with how the seeds are formed.

Softwood = conifers (gymnosperm)
Hardword = flowering tree (angiosperm)

Balsa is a hardwood, but I'm not building a dresser out of it.
