Fantastic Foreskin: A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

I will get banned for this post.

I just don't have the time to be lurking on the forums. Thanks for helping me buy a bike that one time, BYOB.

(Also, is :banme:

just like, gone or something?)

What a clever logic loop you've locked the moderator in! Unfortunately, our main moderator is immune to such manipulation and would just narrow her eyes with the sneer of cold command and ignore you. I'd recommend just not doing this. If the website is giving you problems, just stop visiting it for a while. You don't need to spend someone else's time to make you do that. If you depend on everyone else moderating your behavior every time you are acting in a way you feel uncomfortable with, eventually you could get into some pretty terrible situations.

There's no dilemma, OP. Just walk through the logic. You would get banned for the post, but not banned a second time for the toxx.

Mods can't mod mods, only admins can mod mods.

So either you get banned for this thread or you get banned for the toxx. Sound logic I suppose.

Posting a banme in BYOB is like trying to kill yourself with one of those cartoon guns that have a "BANG!" flag inside.

op can you confirm/deny that this is the bike that byob crowd sourced for you?

MockingQuantum

if you're not careful you can end up with the very rare and secret "doubleban"

when doublebanned, you actually have to pay :10bux:

as well as post for a month on another forum besides SA. but you don't get to pick the forum, it's drawn out of a hat, and if it's a forum about a subject matter with which you're familiar, you're legally obliged to fess up and redraw. during your month, you must cultivate a well-liked and believable posting persona, to the best of your abilities

some say it's worse than a permaprobe, their thousand-yard stare affixed on something none of the rest of us can see, as they mumble "you don't know man, you weren't there"

But that is actually possible. You can choke on the flag if you aim in your mouth. I assume that's why people on TV always do that, in case it's a flag or t-shirt gun.

Better watch out for that 100% daily interest too. Take it from me, it gets really tough past the 256 mark. I'm just lucky there was a bike-a-thon and a cat owner's convention in my town on the same weekend.
