Actually, we don't ban as a punitive measure. The philosophy is that accounts are suspended to give people a chance to cool off and consider things a while, maybe get out and look at birds and trees or something.

I found this alarming at first. But in the context of Ratz culture, it works quite well I think, especially in conjunction with the Play Nice guideline.
Wow... somebody actually read the rules and understood their purpose/intent. I think that must be a first. :hehe:

I've never read the rules. Has anyone other than Robert read the rules???
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

It's incredibly patronising and presumptuous. :leave:

No need to. Besides, I never play nice, so they might cramp my style.

Common sense seems to be working pretty well.

There is no such thing as "common" sense. If there were we wouldn't need traffic laws. :cranky:

There's "good sense", which is quite rare.

No offense Robert, but when I hear "Robert" and "Rules" in the same sentence I want to bolt...every time someone pulls those out at a board meeting I cringe.
