I have three recommendations:

  • INCIT should help prior winners avoid self-plagiarization by showing them their prior wins. (Some of us have more than 10 wins and the short recycle time makes it easy to submit on a given pic many, many times.)
  • Ban banners (I.e., the banners on profile pages announcing “B&”ness) should link to definitions of bans, which page should link to the rules. (Why would a noob know the difference between a community or full ban? And how would a noob know that a hellban is not a moderator schtick?)
  • Bans for INCIT self-plagiarism should be renamed “Flying Shark” bans, for the first instance of their use (q.v. MercWithMouth’s recent community ban).

I agree. There should be like floating versions of all our wins on the incite page.

1. since there’s only like 10 incit pics I don’t see how you would get confused at all.

2. a ban is a ban. If you broke the rules then that’s that. Also a hellban isn’t a real ban (someone who has you on “ignore” isn’t actually banning)

3. Hey.. how about a PEEN for doing something like this? THAT is surely a GOOD IDEA.

That just speaks to the long-standing suggestion/need for a list of active bans with reasons.

Verbose and long-winded as always

Props, Fuzzy Eric.

I have returned from “The Flying Shark Ban.”

And now a word for Jalapeno Bootyhole…

Ok, I’m guessing you think that I still disagree with you as to the INCIT rule changes particularly as relates to “self-plagarism” and me being awarded “The Flying Shark Ban”.

Well, I suppose I still do.

But… I also owe it to you to give it a go with the new rules in place.

I’m going to try my best with the new rules. It’ll be tricky because I have literally over a thousand INCIT wins, and almost every single INCIT picture triggers memories of certain jokes almost reflexively — whether I’ve won with with those jokes or not.

I still would like you to reconsider your position on the matter.

But, before that, I’d like to show you that I’m still as good of a player at the game as I ever was, and that I’m prepared to adapt to change.
