OANST, I apologise for sounding patronising; it wasn't my intention. My comment was rather flippant, yes; I was trying to be humerous, since that's the sort of thing I do, and I'm sorry for the misunderstanding that's escalated so much. I really didn't want things to blow up like this. Guess I'm too used to dealing with the nooblets we get in RPG and Fancorner and it didn't occur to me to deal with you any differently to how I have to deal with them, which is my fault. (Yes, mods suck sometimes, you know?)
And I agree with Max about the 'postorrhoea' term being inapropriate; I think we should deal with the infractions (other than insta-ban, which only happens to advert-bots) somewhat more seriously.
It was the 'favourite position' thread that bothered me firstly, which was clearly only ever going to be spam, and seeing a second thread by you, the rape one, which I felt was in a similar vein, I thought it was necessary to remind you of the rules. I spoke to Max in EL and he told me he should probably have not posted there until he saw where it went.
When it so obviously degraded to spam and nothing but, he agreed to close it. I'd suggested infracting you and he said it was my choice. I don't know if he considered the thread as bad to begin with as I did.
I don't expect you to get banned now; clearly this has had rather more than the impact I'd hoped. I just want people to remember that there's a difference between a funny post or thread, and a pointless or inappropriate one. This applies to everyone, not just OANST. There are several members who would benefit from remembering it.
