I hate it too I will ask O man if I can edit them

YOU and Odeon and Callaway and I forget who else has "privileges,"  CAN indeed edit them if necessary and I would appluad the effort, however, contemplating a rule to ban someone for not being able to express themselves in an appropriate manner is the essence of WP and those twunty sites that would choose to please a few individuals over the collective wisdom of the many which make up a "community."

I think she was maybe joking about the bans :-\

Fascism, terrorism, banning and rape are not subjects that those of us who know a bit about them are willing to joke about.

If it was a joke, then I will shut up and accept the damage that has been done as another example of someone not knowing how to communicate well.

I would not want to ban them but wish they would use some common sense and take care of it themselves.    As of it loading slow for me I am sure I am not the only one.  Editing anythin not threatening the site I think should be a decision of more than just one of us should agree on

Yeah I don't think we should ban anyone for it. I see nothing wrong with them being edited down though if it's repeated. Once in a while to make a point is ok, but in every fucking thread you click kn when you get in... that's just annoying as the page loads slower. for me anyway

You HAVE missed my entire point!!


SHIT!!

what point?

I didnt really read your post, just skimmed the thread

Well, SHIT, TWICE!!

This is how fucked up things happen.

People just skim and go about their business oblivious to the reality of what the are involved in.

You're not the only one. Certain pages become almost unusable for me when loaded with walls of smilies.

Rage and Mudkipz are  perfectly capable of expreshing themselves in numerous appropriate manners.  An occasional, restrained wallpapering is not what I'm objecting to. 

I do not know what can and cannot be done or what is chosen to be done or not done by moderators.  In my ignorance I came up with the temporary ban idea.  It would be okay to have a warning or two before having a temporary ban.  In the meantime I've chosen to put those members on a temporary ignore status for a while.

Call me captain obvious, but the reason 'wallpaper' pisses people off is that apsies and auties can't handle information overload. And that's what happens when too much of that shit is displayed at once. I was guilty of it a couple of times myself, and since I learned to cope with losing it, I don't post like that anymore.

This isn;t an AS thing - it would piss off NTs too - it's the fact that it slows down most people/s computers. Even if only for a couple seconds, when it's in every fuciking thread that gets annoying
