The mods DO have a sense of humour, but there is a very fine line that some people decide to cross, hence deleted posts and banned users Usually these people wont read the charter for the forum beforehand...

I ban someone for longer if they are humourous, even if they don't break any rules. No funny stuff on my watch.

Yes, sometimes I laugh, but still ban.
Sometimes it's just Mordeth and I like banning him.

Haha sugartits can't even post here... :pac:

I'm a softie, I felt bad when I first banned someone because they were spamming advertisements and knew of the studio... you quickly get over it. It's only the internet after all.

One user in particular I felt a great sense of relief when I banned him. 'Way too much hassle'

It's been mod edited. Can't say if it's funny or not.
