Some of them are young enough to have them too. Meanwhile they are working to make it illegal for employers to demand seeing social media pages as a hiring interview requirement.

Didn't Milla make Blades thing ? Although I seem to remember she was mostly before my time. I seem to remember premonition made some good posts outside of the rps but that's vague.

Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Annoying != harmful. Annoying may lead to harmful when those being annoyed are annoyed beyond a point of their ability or desire to contain their ire at the annoyance. But then it is not the annoying one who becomes harmful, but rather the annoyed. Me thinks by then someone just needs a HUGGLE But really, a splash of color, if not something pleasing to the eyes, is something to roll one's eyes at, not forbid. /submitted respectfully as my own humble opinion on the matter.

Actually, Nebulan's posts here extend over a year after the rainbow-colored text ban. (The ones in General are missing because of the last purge, but the ones in game forums are still extant.) Xelgion/Vergil had problems before the rainbow text appeared. Some were sexual comments about Geneforge characters' equipment, some were objectively obstructive text manipulation effects like 40 line signatures, and some were sexual comments buried in text manipulation effects. I think that shows the context pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he was more of an immature spammer and got canned at some point. I don't think banned? I think he was mostly a presence in one of Avernum's forums, or possibly the first trilogy. But he wasn't very notable I'm sure. Just another kid. Also, Stughalf. Joined sometime in middle era and I know he went quite well with Desp crowd.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 It doesn't involve the autocensor, actually; different board feature. Anti-Establishment is there in part to catch ET, who often explicitly stated he was "allying" with some CRF folk before CRF was around, but never joined it. Salmon, you landed there because your posts on the SW boards, in later years, tended to involve complaints about how things were being run -- much as with ET, Jewels, and a lot of CRF folk. (As I perceived things, anyway.) I did put you in SV as well because I wasn't sure of the better fit. Again, my goal is to break up the active user lists to make them easy to look over, not to make a precise social map of the boards. So the number of categories has to be limited.

That's actually what I was referring to when I initially asked about Ermarian, not the PPP. I'm a bit hesitant to bring it back up (aside from the fact that it is, like the old PPP, an unsalvageable mess and needs a rewrite) because that data is somewhat more personal than archived posts. On the other hand, back in 2007 I locked down on it anyhow and only made PDN/Title changes and postcounts trackable. In that form, it should be fine. The rewrite, however, is still needed.
