Does being a mode come with payment? Because I am a freelancer who needs gigs and I am willing to discuss a rate with you Lowtax to do some modding. I seek out no internet love, just money in my bank account

There should be a forum where everyone is mod. That way the only posts that survive will have to be exceptionally epic. It will result in being an organic goldmine.

1) Gas threads entitled "friend of the family" or some variation thereof.
2) If you probate people for posting images without text, maybe you should not post images without text, particularly in threads entitled "friend of the family" or some variation thereof.
3) Don't be a lovely rear end in a top hat

These seem very reasonable.

tbh I was surprised that 'friend of the family' made it to page 2 - I saw that this morning and just rolled my eyes immediately.

His ghost was probating people and using their corpses to reach out to Lowtax. That's pretty metal.
