Some of you are taking this way of proportion. It's pretty obvious that those who've been asking nit-picky questions (excluding Fullmetal) in this thread are simply trying to find a loophole so they can continue their (poor) behavior. Perhaps I'm taking what Garfield wants out of context, but the message is clear:
If you know what you're about to post is wrong, douchebaggery, bait, flaming, or anything of the like, then you are accepting the consequences of what may result from your post, especially because there are now explicit guidelines.
Truth be told, if you're a reasonable person and have never had a problem/been in trouble on these forums, then don't worry about it. But, if you aren't and have been an issue, then you need to shape up because I'm sure that you are indeed intelligent enough to realize before posting that what you write may definitely cause controversy.
Stop trying to find loopholes. If you're being a total overall asshat, then it is completely fair if you receive a punishment. There actually are ways to create humor without being a prick. Perhaps you should try that sometimes instead of being such an issue that higher-ups, who voluntarily give you the opportunity to have these forums, have to worry about the shit that you fling around like young, immature children.
