naughty step

[Abitrary]

I hate it when a creative and interesting poster gets banned.

I suggest before banning someone they can only log into a 'naughty step'.

This forum will only be visible to them and a body of people who shall be named The Gentlemen of the Renaissance. GRs.

GRs cannot be moderators, but I suppose for democratic purposes only mods can vote them in.

GRs have to stand above the rest of us in morality, education and taste in music. Their task is onerous for it involves rehabilitation.

The initial Gentlemen of the Rennaissance shall be:

-flying monkey
-mjonesy
-longers
-dellseqq
-andy in sig

They shall be five because that is a prime number and makes voting easier.

After a month, precisely 30 days, the Council of GRs shall let up a wisp of smoke from the naughty step, which will indicate whether the rehabilitation process has been sucessful or not.

Aren't you supposed to be fecking dead?

 

[Abitrary]

shut up. don't destroy this thread. I'm on to something with this.

 

[mickle]

Hurry up and die.

 

[Abitrary]

You'll never be a GR. I'll put paid to that.

I'm imagining that the GR's would have their own section in which to ruminate, what do you think, something like a Gentleman's club or a 17th century London coffee house?

I'm seeing velvet CC cloaks too, but maybe not in the jersey colours?

What if one the GRs goes mad?

 

[tdr1nka]

I think they're more likely to get gout or consumption by the sounds of things?

 

[alecstilleyedye]

a pretty limp committee, when the mods can have a final say anyhow

 

[Abitrary]

I don't know, but that's not the point. I just think that there needs to be infrastructure in place to handle these situations in the event they happen.

If a GR goes mad or dies, then the moderators shall vote on a replacement.

The Council of GRs will perform a similar role to the house of lords.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Are you the Messiah?

If a GR goes mad or dies, then the moderators shall vote on a replacement.

Do you mean we will have to pay them to do the members a favour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am honoured! I had not realised that my taste in music was held in such renown! From now on I expect to see regular posting of links to Pink Floyd, Radiohead, The Verve and, not forgetting the 1980s, Marillion and Ultravox.
