So how long until no one uses the Auction House?

Inertia Posted:

you’ve got to spend a split second finding and hitting the enter key,

The Enter key is right over there, and it doesn’t move. It’s easy to find. Really. And if you’re a chronic overkeyer, then just keep one finger on the Enter bumon. That should help.

Also, here’s what I do: For my Primary attacks, I link them to Slots 1-3. I usually want to lead off with one of those when I hit a thread. As soon as the current thread is dead, I just hold down whichever attack is ready, and as soon as the ‘Thread is Dead’ screen shows up, I’ll automatically go into a new thread (so long as the number of the attack bumon I’m pushing corresponds to a remaining thread. So, just by holding down the bumon (not repeatedly mashing it, which is useless), I enter the new thread as soon as possible, and I launch that attack as soon as possible. Then, as soon as that attack shows on screen, I let go of that bumon and hold down my next attack. I never (okay, rarely) get the popup you describe.

Statute of Limitations on Temp Bans

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Banhammer was saying they LOOKED at it because there was a complaint, saw the complaint WAS legit (which I’ve already said twice now), and then took action.

I meant that, in general, just because someone reports something doesn’t mean it’s actually banworthy. McBan seemed to be suggesting that ‘someone caring enough to report it’ was significant validation of it as a complaint. I wasn’t speaking to your specific situation.

MC Banhammer Posted:

Someone cared about it, or it wouldn’t have been reported.

And every report you receive carries a legitimate complaint?

I don’t see the logic here.

If it’s more than 72 hours, and not a major offense, then anything more than a warning is pointless. Minor disciplinary actions, to be effective, have to be time-contextual. Otherwise, it’s simply Banning for the sake of Banning.

Combine the lack of any ‘hard & fast’ guidelines for how long is too long after a minor offense with the ‘rules not really set in stone’, and it’s a wonder that more people don’t get tempbanned.

But that’s just my $0.02.

Like how much ego?

You have to get ego up over 4,000 or so, that’s the trick.

Interesting Use of Primitive Technology

Doctor’s Log, Quantam-Variance Cycle 21:

The current test specimens, #27458 & #27569, have begun to engage in minor aberrant behavior. #27458 has begun to conceal itself in the waste evacuation & personal grooming chamber on a regular basis, but gravimetric analysis indicates virtually no significant amount of solid or liquid waste material being expunged biologically, and yet a biometric analysis indicates some type of discharge has occurred. Also, the subject’s physical appearance after spending, on average, 512 seconds in said chamber, is decidedly more disheveled, indicating that the secondary function of the chamber has not been utilized. Furthermore, the subject’s choice of literary material is confusing. Normally, it peruses a daily information report entitled, ’The New York Times’. However, during the anomalous instances, it instead chooses something called, ’The Abercrombie & Fitch 2009 Catalog’. However, as these instances are become more frequent and regular, we must bumume they serve some purpose. Further investigation is required.

As for Subject #27569, we regret to report that we are still baffled at its behavior. We will continue our research into why Subject #27569 dons the prosthetic mammary glands and dons the intricate and colorful costume, then walks back and forth along the same section of public ground transit for approximately 3.5 hours each Friday night. We believe there is a pattern that determines which vehicle he enters, and a formula that determines how much currency exchanges hands afterward.

Of further interest is how Subjects #27458 & #27569 interacted with one another last Friday night. We do not believe they are aware of our observations, but we will remain hidden for now.

How utterly delightful. This experiment is proceeding more rapidly than I had hoped, and the results are monumental. With but three total posts in the entirety of your Internet microcosm, I have sufficiently influenced one of you to the point of rabid incitement that you would call for my ‘banning’, as it were. Although it would seem that this particular test subject is more reactionary and inflammatory than the average specimen. I’ll have to annotate those results with this pertinent data, for future analysis.

Continue about your business, please Specimen #27458… er, BaconSupreme, that is.
