The great thing about this thread, is any new users wanting to find out about the rules, or the implementation of the rules....will see Lanny droning on and on and on for 5+ pages asking the same questions, making the same erroneous arguments, and pouting again and again and again all because he can't take "no" as an answer. Helluva way to show people how immature, stupid, toxic, and outright insane one is....but its a nice commentary/legacy in regard to what Lanny is about, and why he enjoys being on message boards so much.
Sadly, I was thinking something along those lines right before your post. I got suckered into reading 6 pages of huff n puff because I was curious about the new rules, and the discussion that would follow to improve on the rules.
As far as the market place subforum, howabout having relatively new users need to have their posts moderator approved in that forum. I realize that would probably bar me from making an instantaneous ad for selling my pokemon cards, but that wouldn't bug me. Plus don't you think it'd be cool to be able to buy another knife from the Zodiac killer?
As far as PI, I really don't care. Though personally I think things like one's first name if it was mentioned on this site would be appropriate.
And the 'culturally relevant' clause in the PI rule could be used as a basis for arguing for some of the types of pictures lanny is mentioning like pictures circulated around zoklet (IE the collage). The collages should just be allowed on the principle that those pictures were user submissions. Though, consulting a mod before PI posting could be a way to avoid petty disagreements about PI.
Honestly I think all of lanny's huff n puff could just be solved if the PI in question be mod consulted/approved.
As far as HB is concerned, I say just let that stick to the original &T HB spirit. But keep it to just HB. If you just let them be and do their own thing, they generally are harmless.
