The scandal! But it's true. There was a point in time when DP had a change in policy regarding forum signatures. I agree with their right to run their site however they want, but I thought the policy was unjust, so I changed my signature to say so. Next thing I know, I got a 2 point warning from some guy named McFox which said I harassed a member (him), although that never happened. He sent me a pm demanding that I change my signature. So I changed it...to a message saying I don't understand why McFox has a problem with my sig. I thought it was funny. He did not. He gave me another 2 point warning, which says I was harassing a member, then banned me for two weeks. What's weird is after he banned me, he banned my roommate's account and then gave me a 10 point warning for having duplicate accounts, which I did not have. Weird. It kind of cheesed me off so I figured if DP was going to ban me over that nonsense I was going to ban them, for five years. Five years later I'm back, and McFox is nowhere to be found. I wonder how many contributions I could have made during that time if not for his foolishness. What's the point of all of this? There is none. I'm just bored and thought I would tell a story.
But is it a sample, or rather, an example of the status quo? I don't think so. But even at that, you apparently still read til the end.
We've never allowed adult links in signatures so your problem wasn't due to any "change". Because I'm not American I always have a laugh when people refer to roommates, we have flat mates - people you share your flat (aka apartment or house) with but we never actually share rooms. I guess it's a hangover from sharing rooms in the University dorms? Our student hostels all have individual rooms but that's different countries doing things their own way, I get that. Anyway, makes me laugh.
I can get that But, here at India, most student hostels do not have individual rooms and we share the same room (sometimes even upto 4 members share the same room). I stayed for an year at students hostel and shared my room with 2 other people. It was **really** a best part of my college life. Got some good understanding friends.
I hate when my roommate gets me banned for duplicate accts.. Now we have a proxy jar and every time someone gets an acct banned they have to put $5 in the proxy jar.
I have no idea why we say roommates. It's technically the wrong term, but it is easier than saying a friend who was living in my house at the time. Diva, for someone who doesn't like the topic, I can't help but notice you spending time in it.
