Quoted from Pdxmonkey:I do miss the old days when 75% of Pinside arguments were settled in bikini pics.
I miss those days as well, but man that was like 2 purges ago....
Quoted from Xerico:Dearest Pinsiders, As I gaze upon the slowly lifting fog that has settled upon my view, my thoughts travel to a time when Pinside was friendlier. Battles of wits were constant, but civility ruled the day. How I yearn to return to that day.
So, after gaining an audience with Sir Robin and Martijn, our benevolent dictators, a royal decree issued forth from the fruit of our labors. And it is thus decided that a great purge will fall upon the lands of all Pinside.
Sometime this spring, a list will be compiled by the Mods of the round table, and this list will include all the known troublemakers and miscreants that soil the good name of Pinside.
If you do not wish to be included on this list, then now is your time to repent. Cease all manner of ill and bullying, and your name shall not be penned onto the great list.
However, should a member continue to cause strife and discord, rest assurred that member's name shall be included, and thus banished from Pinside for a period not less than 30 days.
So take this warning to heart. A purge is coming.
Sincerely,
The Herald of Pinside
P.S.
While the above is tinged with humor, we are serious. Robin has already made statements regarding his desire for Pinside moving forward. Trollish behavior is no longer going to be tolerated. Ignoring requests of the moderator team is not going to be tolerated. Being jerks to each other is not going to be tolerated.
Please, don't make us put you on the purge list. We hope that when the time comes, nobody has earned a spot on the list.
