PT as a term

[offshoredrilling]

dabbling in Rule # 15

changing the name not a good idea, just sayn

[crozwell]

So whats the rule that's going to be enforced????? I said 'PT' in one thread and received a warning referencing that was the same as saying the actual form of PT, so then in another thread i just came out and said the actual form of PT since I was told that was no different. When I got pointed on that, which i expected, I was told PT is the only term you CAN use.
So what is it??

If you follow along in the current discussions.....no mention of the shit is allowed. No abbreviations or reference whatsoever.

and we do have a admin as a mod now partly for this very reason

OK! I'll bite, since this just happened almost 1 week ago!!!

In a thread where a well known, well reviewed, once popular SP was busted by Leo and a newspaper article link confirmed her arrest saying she ran a prostitution ring that was also involved with use of Rule 15 shit, I DARED TO WARN other mongers best not see her anymore since she is into PT now (a term we all used commonly)! I was given 10 points for using our fav common terminology PT!!! I complained to the MOD who issued these points. He responded saying he knew, understood and felt my pain BUT he was just following ORDERS from Berlin like a good soldier!!!

Thinking this had to be PURE BULL MANURE..... I sent off a PM to St Chris to look into this! To his credit St Chris answered my PM within a couple MINUTES saying 10 pts were indeed excessive and unnecessary! St Chris further stated those points will be reversed and they were a few minutes later!....

It seems incredibly stupid that we can no longer warn fellow members here about those who have developed some bad habits.....ijs

Ball is in your court ....cowboy.....
Is there any common sense solution here..... or just continued obfuscation of the Company Line, with cliché riddled form responses?.....

[offshoredrilling]

so if 5 or less would have he remove the points??

edit add:
as I was banned once I should have gotten 30 to 90 days
not what I got
now its just another infraction on my list of

[dearhunter]

The key to your story is the word "warn". That aside, you and I both know you did not post what you posted in a vacuum. You did it in the middle of a conversation about not using the PT term anymore. I say you did it to test the policy. I will also say that I disagreed with reversing your points.......you caught the big man in a giving moment........I say the MOD got a raw deal on that call.....you got to rub your local modtards face in it one last time......good for you.

Test the system again and see how benevolent St.C is on your behalf........you are done using that term.....one way or the other.

And the community at large.

PlasticMan never violated guideline 15, though he would have hijacked a thread about it. Fer sure.

Are you implying that a GL15 violation got PM banned?

I'm surprised you're even trying to get clarity on that, not gonna happen.

He's hovering over the kool-aid ready to take the plunge.

I'm glad you guys are clamping down, allowing the use of the acronym was clearly a violation and a joke.

[offshoredrilling]

I'm finding it fun seeing who all having a problem with this and who all is not.
Yet in other area's this almost never comes up.

it seems fewer of the so called bad boys having less of a problem than some of the so called good guys. Most of my infractions are for highjacking.

I miss the bar game. One could always tell what day was good day to grab and stab in a good way, and what days to run the other way. Why I still like call over text. Much better than over a board pre planning and hope you get a good day. ahem not a highjack if you think about it

JC is the one who put it out there to dangle.........perception becomes reality left unchallenged.

Not in the least. I am not privy to the reasons for any banning, and I was only saying he seemingly walked that line with the utmost respect for the guidelines and those who enforce them. Subsequently I searched his posts for those two letters that might also indicate less than full time work, or the rehabilitation of a sprained knee, and that search yielded no results.

I learned my acronym lesson long ago, mostly because even then I didn't use it.

As for the Kool-Aid, whatever do you mean?
