And would you mind giving me a little breathing room while you're at it? Man, you moderators sure do have a thing for hovering over me.😁Nah, I'm good. I've got a big night out planned this Saturday.
You can delete posts for a certain amount of time, sure, but the account stays active. That’s my point. I already said we should just have them banned. It's just plain stupid.
Look, I’ve been hanging around this forum forever, so I know what I’m talking about. It’s not my fault if you just can’t wrap your head around it or if you aren't ready to face the music.
redmarlin3 said:In principle, yeah, if we're talking about the extreme cases. I mean, if someone has thirteen pages of warnings mostly for insults or being straight-up abusive, you can pretty much assume their communication skills aren't anything to write home about... regardless of whether they're 15 or 55.
The silver lining is that only the mods can see those warning logs on a user profile. 😁
Right now, I've only ever dealt with one. I haven't heard of any others existing, really. Though, if I had to pick, the yellow ones are my favorite.

When I run into someone who can’t even string a coherent sentence together—and they're clearly just some kid, too—why on earth should I take them seriously? The absolute bare minimum anyone can do is actually put in the effort to write with proper grammar... ☕
Personally, I just can't be bothered to go back and edit my posts just to make sure they're grammatically perfect.

Does that logic apply to warning strikes or bans too?
It’s just not right. It’s totally unfair. Just hand out the ban and be done with it. If they go the route of deleting the whole profile, it completely guts every single thread you ever contributed to. There is zero logic in that.

Look, I don't care what you think. Keep it to yourself. According to your logic, the only way to participate is by asking "intellectual" questions—which is clearly what you think yours are. I have every right to ask what I want. If I’m getting on your nerves, it’s simple: hit the ignore button and call it a day. Honestly, I’d recommend that to anyone else who finds me tedious or annoying.
placidranger said:Some people are just born under a lucky star and can eat whatever they want without gaining an ounce. Others? They could breathe air and gain ten pounds. They could have a heavy thought and swell up. Life isn't fair—oh well.
The whole "lucky star" thing is just fairy tales for kids. People love to blame their luck or the alignment of the planets, but let's not go down the astrology rabbit hole here.
I mean, can't they also just gain physical weight? I have this friend who has that exact kind of metabolism—she barely puts on an ounce no matter what, and honestly, she usually just drops any extra weight she picked up during a stressful stretch.
But seriously, how are people with lightning-fast metabolisms supposed to actually put on some weight? That’s my real question here. I can't even wrap my head around the mental side of it.
coppergardener said:Oh, please... really now... what exactly gives her such unwavering certainty regarding the thyroid? Is it possible her thyroid is functioning perfectly, yet her cortisol levels are simply crashing? Or perhaps it isn't either of those things at all? Why should she be so sure? Honestly! Does she personally suffer from thyroid dysfunction, or does she simply believe herself to be an expert on nothing else, jumping to conclusions the moment a symptom appears? If we are going to discuss hormones, one really ought to look far beyond just the thyroid alone.
When the thyroid slows down, you gain weight. Wow, what a medical genius we have here!
But wait, I’m still stuck on the part about the phone number and that other detail. If I wasn't genuinely confused, I would have just gone ahead and done it already without bothering anyone. Actually, scratch that—I just realized you left the phone number field blank. And regarding the recipient's account number... are we talking about the routing number here?
Ugh, thanks. Okay, I totally forgot to mention I was talking about doing this online. I really should have specified that from the jump. Honestly, the last thing I want to do is drag myself down to a Chase branch.
