    For those who do get sent to the box, how do you find out? Do the mods send you a pic of the Soup Nazi with a line of "No posts for you!"

    I'm not sure how they find out, but I am sure they get a little butthurt in the process. "oops,noprisonrapejokesallowed

    Long time ago, I received a stern but fair warning from one of the mods (can't remember which one) that I was inching closer to the box. It was because of something I wrote on one of the JDV threads, back when those were the hotness around here. The mod was absolutely right in knocking me down a peg or two, as I was much younger and trying way too hard, but I still think what I said was accurate.

    I think no matter the age, we all have room to mature the longer we participate on message boards.

    (Well, there may be no hope for a FEW of us, so don't hold your breath for a few particular assholes.)

    Anyway, that is partly why I started this thread. To see lessons learned. To see that the ignorant masses are capable of learning as they are whipped into shape by the evil overlords, I mean, friendly and well-meaning moderators.

    I was also concerned that starting this thread might get the thread quickly deleted and me immediately put in the Box. I am so happy to see that SJ is not a thought control society like, say, North Korea.

    I think I may have ended up in the box once, but I have no memory of why, nor any lessons I may have learned from it. So basically it had no effect. Suck it, Mods! :D
