OBTL
Didn't want to hijack the "Pet Peeve" thread. But when someone here sports a "testy" subject, the sports go "IBTL" or "In Before the Lock." Well, I did that once and again until ZZZap!, commenting on a banned subject +1 point, recently earning a vacation. It feels like holding hands with the dumb*** peeing on the electric fence. From now on I am OBTL or Out Before the Lock, meaning "I see what you're doing, carry on without me" (ISWYDCOWM is a bit unwieldy). Joe

But if you actually post OBTL, aren’t you actually IBTL . . . ? #askingforafriend

Maybe management could post warnings like on Twitter or Facebook.

I think I know someone who might want to be your friend. I'll call her.

If you have multiple points and pages of infractions, you’re doing it wrong. This is a very busy board, with only a handful of staff members to handle things.
A number of topics are banned here. Replying to them only compounds the problem and calls attention to the thread.
If you see a topic that you think is inappropriate here, DO NOT reply to it. Report it by clicking  in the top right of the post and we’ll handle it.
You’ll note this in our rules:

It’s there for a reason...
If you can’t help yourself, I have a suggestion. Stick your left thumb in your left ear and stick your right thumb in your right ear. Wrap your fingers in front of your eyes and repeat after me, “LA LA LA LA LA........”.
When the irresistible urge passes, resume your normal browsing.
