Oh noes! I remember there was a threat of banning
over nested quotes too.  :mushie:

Well it was empty quotes, but only is as much as it was gonna trash the database.

Had to be a hell of a lot.  :green:

Yeah, I believe there was. Can't remember the details though. There was some thread where people were being annoying and making as many nested quotes as they could and then it took down the database. I'm sure Callaway remembers the details.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Oh, I remember the nested quotes and the trouble they caused, but I can't recall that there was a banning threat. Makes sense, though--if someone is continuing a potentially harmful practise, what else could we do to stop it?

I think I'd just ban them, in that case. :P

I think it was more of a mention than a threat though.

I think all that happened was Vodzy's custom title was changed.

Veiled threats are just as potent.

No, it's brave to say no to mindless killing.
