    Sweeeeeet. I'm now an Extreme Troll. I'm already working on some ideas to reach the rank of Master Troll.

    And I repeat, anything that could "get me in trouble at work" is already covered by the rules.

    So in the future, the repeated posting of giant unnecessary swastika images is warnable?

    I'd think that posting multiple gigantic images would fall under "trying to break the board" rather than "trying to get someone in trouble."

    Other than pr0n, if free expression in the Red Room might get you in trouble at work, then don't post at work. Problem solved.

    The point of setting Sokar's and Flow's rep to max red was to stop some of the repwars. Of course, there's no such thing as repwar. :bergman:

    The downside is that some posters have seen it as a license to act like an asshat now that Sokar can't rep. So either restore his rep and his ability for self defense or stop the asshattery.

    Wow, people whining on behalf of Sokar. That's new.

    Anyway, I have pictures and avs disabled. I have for years.

    Your boss really wouldn't mind if they walked by and saw several giant swastikas on your screen?

    He'd probably mind more that I was wasting time on teh intarwebz than that I had a swastika on the screen.

    My employers "acceptable use" policy covers "online banking, personal e-mail and news sites," so long as I'm getting my regular duties completed. I count this place as a "news site," since we discuss the news and current events here, and members post articles.

    I'm even allowed to look at the occasional picture of a girl in a bikini, the reasoning being that some newspapers (The Sun in Canada) include one every day. I'd get in trouble if I was going to a site where that was the main focus, though.

    How's about a tradeoff? $corp, Ward, and Muad cease their "no-such-thing-as," and poor victimized widdle Sokar can have his rep back.

    Cue firestorm in five, four, three...

    Ok fine. :bailey:

    There IS such thing as rep war. And it is glorious. :bomb:

    As for swastika images, why doesn't 14th Doc turn off avs and images? Many people do it, why not him? If it's good enough for KM, it should be good enough for him.

    That's what I'm doing right now. Regardless, I still don't think posting anything with the intent of screwing over people at work should be allowable. This isn't TK or 4chan.
    Who's KM? :chris:

    Did I ever say there was no such thing? I don't think so. This is, obviously, just another example of g hearing what she wants to hear. Since she's been so good at demanding evidence, I'd like her to provide proof to backup her statement here.
