I would really really like the rule for July to be "all posts must have emoticons". Please grant me this one wish

Good night and god bless

instead of the lovely rule that will win, i recommend this:

in any given thread in july, if three people all post "gas thread ban op" then there is a random chance that either one of the three will be banned or op will be banned and the thread will be closed

Approval voting is already supported by the forum software, and that's essentially equivalent. I have strong opinions on voting implementations whether a dumb forum poll or presidential ballots and I recommended this be a checkbox poll. :(

do the right thing ralp: make non-checkbox polls a bannable offense

it's a rule that even I would laud

like the banning of the confederate flag it is an issue that brings all parts of the political spectrum but the absolute worst parts of it together in unity

Hey guys, if/when the cussing rule begins can we have a clearly defined definition of what constitutes cussing? Because I'm worried some smart allecks are oging to do things like say "rear end" or "bastard" in a context in which these aren't swears, like referring to real donkeys or real children fathered out of wedlock

FIRST EBOLA GOON AVOID ALL POSTS SPEWING EBLOA SHIT POSTS EVERWHERE
I'm literally retarded
I can live with a no cussing rule.
i consider it a worthy challenge to see how vile I can be without using any swears, you pack of blood-soaked frozen horse tampon popsicles.*

*Partially stolen from the cultural masterpiece Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

E:
Apparently there are veterinary napkins for horses, but not tampons. After a little thought I realized why not- who is gonna walk up to a 1500 lb. herbivore and attempt to shove something up its ginch?
...
Yah, I Googled "horse tampons".

I wanted to buy a case of them to prank an old girlfriend with on Christmas THE FUCKEN WHORE

Really. On my honor. Word.
They should exist. Maybe there's a niche market just for pranks here.
