SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

I am of the opinion that TBP would be a better place if only they waited until people had descended testicles before they became mods and admins.

Ah, now the ghost pages in a thread make sense.

It's like a super-ignore list! Splendid.
Yeah, but who gives a fuck? You? Jibba?

Well congrats. No one else gives a shit, so your arguments are a waste of breath.

If more people there had descended testicles they wouldn't need so many mods.

Quote from: RPGPundit;615357Their response after being called on it several times was, remarkably:
"We are locating your request for the posting evidence that he broke his forum ban but once it's found (or even if that statement turns out to have been mistakenly made) it won't alter our decision about permabanning him."

Same technique they used to ban me back in 2004.

At least back then they could at least pretend that the problem was the lack of a search function on the forum.

Quote from: RPGPundit;615745To troll, yes, but I think there's been somewhat of a reduction in the criticism of the Mod practices themselves; of putting pressure on the Mods by showing that there's "nothing behind the curtain" of their alleged due process and procedures.

I just read your blog post and wow.  I would like to ask one question though about something you wrote:

QuoteThere are members of the moderation team who take great pride in the fact that they've never played an RPG. (This fact boggles my mind every time somebody mentions it.)

Is there a link?
