Or like when I told I one of my colleagues that "dressing a hippopotamus in silk, still makes it a hippopotamus..."
Then I blanked out because she slapped me

Re: Gun control
A forum is not a chatroom. They serve different purposes and have a different structure. You'll also find that the rules here are some of the most lenient on a forum that I know of.Sev wrote:And I honestly believe in cases like this that that is not as big a deal as people make out.
This is a furry forum. It's meant for fun and interaction. Overly rigid rules will kill both of those things.

Re: Gun control
Yeah, but that's because this site is closer in nature to something like reddit than to something like Tech Support Forum.

Re: Gun control
Actually I'm talking about community forums. Since another furry forum records moderations in public threads...
XXX banned the user XXX for a week. "Youve banned previously for similar behavior and antagonizing other users."
Continued disregard for submissions and rude behavior. 2 week site ban.
User XXX has been banned for one day for failing to cease antagonizing users after a warning, and making direct threats against other users.
XXX has been banned from the forums for 1 week for verbally attacking a user.
Personal insults are unacceptable and the ban was given without warning.

Re: Gun control
I dunno, I don't think he got to know you well enough over the course of the weekend to recognise that as a friendly joke. That's the kind of stuff you say to close friends, otherwise it's just an insult without context. I'm actually surprised he didn't punch you that cringeworthy second, although I much preferred the general laughter that ensued.Sev wrote:Like when I told one of Leeward's friends that he wasn't quite fat enough for a mobility scooter.

Re: Gun control
That would have been unfortunate.
It really was meant to be amusing. Besides, at least I didn't say that he would have been "just right".
