h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

If so I hope it's an even handed one. Can't see how they could take action against HVL whilst allowing Tango and Spook to provoke with impunity.

QUOTE: Hmm... the first appearance by an italic.

Mina was around at posting 55...

But she only posted then to enquire about the odds, whereas this time she posted an editorial notice.

Ooops! So she did. My mistake


But at that juncture she didn't appear to be carrying a big stick...

Ahhh.... the good old days of topic drift.

I hate wars!

Ok, I'll do the revised book for you...

Tango: 1-2
spook: 1-2
Shergar: 10-11

For researcher 0?

There's something terribly familiar about the way they write, I just can't quite work it out.

Sprout

Book. What's that then?

Getting kicked out. Or being behind secret researcher O?

Sprout: 25-1

It's for who's behind Researcher O

Dr. Montague Trout: 10-1

Betting on how it's going to end would need a different book and is perhaps a little less light-hearted. Difficult to predict as well.

Sprout

I don't think it would really help matters to speculate on such things in too much detail. I think most people have an idea of how it will end, some have voice it here, some not, but this light-earted action would not really serve any purpose except to perhaps aggravate the situation, and cause one or more of the main protagonists to eneter an argument with whoever was quoting the odds (some have even taken objection to GD's odds for the identity earlier on) and it could snowball out of control.

it ain't me that's for sure.

Sprout - please explain post 160 as it doesn't make sense. me and Tango yikes hvl when he breaks the rules, and the majority of those posts are removed. hvl just yikesing for yikesing is actual misuse of the system.

spook

Of course it might be nighthoover

post 160 was by greyDesk.

cul8r.

Mr. 0

i mean post 161

hi Grey Desk,

Notice I'm not on your list. Is this a good or a bad thing?

Mina:

I have today had a posting removed, the entire text of which was the words "I can back that with facts that are pukka". This was one among many non-offensive posts of mine which have been yikesed recently in an apparent campaign of yikesing pretty much anything I post, by Tango and spook.

Since the moderation decision was that "I can back that with facts that are pukka" IS indeed offensive and against House Rules, it follows that anything I see which is as offensive as that, or potentially more so, should be yikesed, and more to the point, should be hidden. This is therefore, judging by your OWN moderation decisions, NOT an abuse of the system.

Hiding my post while failing to hide posts which offend me, if you were to do that, would make it clear that a double standard is being applied, and that I am being victimised for some reason.

I await the outcome of my complaints with interest...

I may also be worth pointing out, in case you forget, that suspending someone's account may, possibly, prevent them from posting for a while - but it does not prevent them from making a complaint. Or a dozen. Or a hundred. Just a thought.
