JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

E/N was like 50% dumb joke threads when I became mod and the GBS mods were way too busy with their own forum to babysit it. I genuinely like reading E/N so it made sense to try to make it less unreadable.

And my husband, who's been on here wayyy longer than me, thought it would be funny. I think he thought I'd learn interesting forums gossip from the mod forums. He was wrong.

And that's why your modstar is a tragedy/tragedy mask pair.

Who's the longest-registered poster with a completely clean rap sheet?

Corollary: what's the shortest ever time between a new registration and that user's ban?

Well there's this guy, which is as far back as I was willing to dig before getting bored

Was it always bad to close threads in SA-Mart?

Yes, it's been in the sa-mart rules thread for as long as I can remember:

Setup a master username and change what shows on the forums to display names that people can buy to change themselves or for others. Print money and keep SA a float! Boom next problem.

Nope. Not even admins can see that

Admins? heck - not even the sql tables can see it. In fact we're not even sure if it actually exists. Our current theory is that Radium studied the placebo effect and managed to code the button in such a way that users just stop seeing the posts after clicking, regardless of any actual effect.

so DARE just got permabanned again, only managing to make a few posts. the guy is really easy to recognize imo, so just how many reports do you get when this guy makes a re-reg? it seems like he gets outed nearly instantly.

Sorry but we cannot discuss state secrets. Lowtax forbid us from attracting any more visits from the secret service.
