It's all good, plainsman. We just have to be sure to keep everything G rated. I hope that I explained the rule well enough. I did not know the rules myself until I started moderating, which actually stemmed from the annoyance of spam. Anyway, great posting and talk to you soon!
Plainsman, I had to delete your post, by rule, due to the use of "sh#t". Just to explain, the Administration prohibits the use of foul language, even if disguised with symbols, if the language is still recognizable. This is an all ages board. Please sign the petition again and refrain from using such. For example, "A#b#rn" is clearly code for "Auburn". Also, do not use text codes like WTF or GD. Thank you. I am giving you a warning only.
As to mauler; He hasn't done anything to be banned by rule. Our stance is that we hope to never ban anyone. Yes, there are many who have defeatist approaches, but that gives the rest an opportunity to thoughtfully present the Auburn way. While I appreciate your POV, the dialogue is very healthy.
