@the[Hitman]:
Hello. I am Helm. I am in charge of this section of the message board (philosophy and/or politics, which will be philosophy and/or politics from here and onwards) as the main moderator. It has been told to me by the general managment that you have to change your name before you can post in this section (philosophy and/or politics) of the I-mockery Message Boards. Your type is best kept in the General Blabber but if you insist on partaking in political and/or philosophical discussion, there is an option left for you. Change your username, and signature. Register a different account if you must. I have been told to pass along that we are making an exception on you as to what is stated in the creation of characters in the
rules and guidelines, since your new philosophy and/or politics message board friendly persona will not indeed be a character in the true sense of the word. Finding such loopholes is what we philosophy and/or politics people like to do as an enjoable passtime, heh. Anyhow, the new account's name must not include any of the following:
* References to computer games and other electronic means of entertainment, especially those that are said to be not so good. The reason for this is that this section of the boards (philosophy and/or politics) must maintain a high degree of seriousness if there are any valuable arguments to be had, philosophical essays to be posted and for whatever else that is customary to be done, to be thusly done. In this spirit, you are also urged to post a ":serious" emoticon after your every post. This is considered standard practise. You might notice that not many others do this and this would maybe -depending on your wits- lead you to believe there is a contradiction between what I have just said and the real, actual happenings in this section of the boards (philosophy and/or politics). Astute on your part, but sadly invalid. The reason not many others post the customary :serious at the end of their posts is that they've been in this section of the boards (philosophy and/or politics) for a long period of time and thusly the degree of seriousness of their posts - which is to say, complete and utter- has been deemed satisfactory. Yours however, has not yet.
Exception: retro game references mildly tolerated. HOWEVER! references to retro games that are held in low regard, will be judged on a case-by-case basis. That is a loop-hole we have already had to deal with, heh. If you choose a name that makes a reference to a game which is considered to be not good enough, you might be leaving yourself open for another username audit, at the moderator's will. You do not want to do this.
* Usage of punctuation and/or numerals. For example if we were to ignore prohibition one above, "the [Hitman]" as a chosen username would still not do, which is to say, would call for yet another username audit, at the moderator's will. "The Hitman" or simply "Hitman" would be in no violation of the rule, however. Also, a clever loop-hole would be to keep the valid alterations of your name, but remove all references to computer games in your signature and general information, thusly removing any actual connection which would prompt a username audit, at the moderator's will. You would, keep to your private knowledge that your chosen username does indeed refer to a popular computer game, but none would be able to call this lateral connection into question. This is the way of the philosophy and/or politics message board user and for such cunning you would surely be applauded by your fellow posters, which is to say, you would be generally ignored.
These are the sections of the code you are in violation currently. In choosing your new username you should however be aware of the rest of the code that partains to username creation and/or usage within the confines of this section (philosophy and/or politics) of the message board:
*Blatantly insulting crass language. For example you could, perhaps choose the name "I Am A Fucking Moron" as a name, and while that would pretty much echo the collective sentiment of the boards towards you, which is to say, it is considered a known to be true fact, which is to say, it is not false, it would not do, because of it is shocking, provocative nature. If you were to choose the name "I am A Worthless Human Being Whose Posts Are A Waste of Bandwidth, Would God Please Strike Me Down Where I Stand?" that would appear to be correct, since we here are prone to good, PC rephrasal of the truth. However beware! That name would be on an illegal length and thusly either be rejected by BBcode default, or stretch the board view in such a maner that would lead to vicious verbal assault towards the responsible party, which is to say, namely, yourself. We do not want that. We are here to discuss philosophy and politics, and not fight amongst ourselves like young men do in other sections of these message boards. Furthermore, that name, were it to be alterated into "I Worthless Hitman?" would still not be considered valid for twofold reason: firstly, it still contains references to computer games and/or other forms of electronic entertainment, in conjunction to your signature and/or other personal information. Secondly, there appear a punctuative symbol, which under the second rule of the section which partains to the creation and/or usage of usernames in this here section (philosophy and/or politics) of the I-mockery message boards, leaves you open to a username audit, to the moderator's will.
Well, this is it young man. You have 24 hours, starting at 9:29 GT + 3 to alter your current, or create a new account which is valid under the above specifications. After your alterations, you are urged to post here for further inspection. This however is not mandatory but is considered good manners. If you are confident that your new persona fits the criteria of usage in this section (philosophy and/or politics) of the I-mockery message boards, then you are free to continue posting as you would. However, if your new persona is then, consequently, which is to say, in the future, again found to be violating one of the mentioned rules, you will again be open to a username audit under the will of the moderator. This has the unfortunate effect of placing you in the category of two-time offenders, the specific qualities of which are best not left discussed at the present time, which is to say, right now. So if you post here right after your needed alterations, the moderators could inspect your new account and tell you if you need to make any other adjustments as a part of the first username audit, which is quite less severe.
Under I-mockery.net bylaws, let it be known that this written statement gives you the status of
First-Time Offender. This may, or may not also grant you a title "McClain's Bitch" according to the moderator's will. The title will, given future favourable behaviour, be removed.
This will be all for now. You may proceed to make the warranted adjustments and present yourself for further inspection within said 24 hour limit, which is to say, the limit of a full day and night.
