Despite being a punk-rock rule hating anarchist, I've added some vague rules to the FAQ. There have been a lot of disruptive users showing up lately and I've decided to standardize my process of dealing with them to save myself some time and explanations.

In a nutshell: if you want to be a disruptive jerk, keep it to the Fights Go Here forum. If you want to test my patience by causing trouble anywhere else on the site, I'll warn you once. If you keep it up after that, your account will be removed.

Brad, I'm sure this can't be much fun for you, and I'm also sure the jerks will give you hell for it. So before that happens, on behalf of the users who aren't jerks, let me say thanks for trying to keep Stripcreator a fun place to be.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Brad, we all love you for this.

Well, except the people who will hate you. But they're the ones we want to get rid of.

Yes. In the words of a certain AOL user:

(Translation: I am a useless gimp with nothing to offer to society.)

I'm sorry you felt you had to do it, brad. I echo evil_d's sentiment, though. I appreciate everything you've done for SC.com.

One other question, though... when it says "don't cause me to recieve complaints about your account," does this include complaints from random people who just decide that someone's strips offend their sensibilites?

I also say something about "valid complaints" a little further down. Basically, it's up to my judgment. I'm willing to defend just about any offensive comic strips as long as their intent seems to be to entertain and not to just upset people. The main reason Bedlam0331 and mega_h8's accounts got canned wasn't because of the content of their strips, but because they refused to keep their antagonistic posts in Fights Go Here.

As a full blooded Inuit Eskimo, I am deeply offended by that comic. My people have endured many hardships, but the notion that we ingest "doo-doo" is a misconception based upon centuries of prejudice. "Dwodoa" is in fact one of several dozen words we use to describe various shapes and sizes of Alaskan halibut; distinctions which aren't even honored by ignorant outsiders such as yourself. I only pray that the great Snow Spirit sees fit to thaw your icy heart.

I added one more thing to the FAQ quickly after an incident tonight. Please don't reply to troublesome users if they manage to post on the site again. Email me if you notice them posting and I'll take care of it. Ignoring them is the best and meanest thing you can possibly do. If I'm deleting their posts and blocking them, it's already been proven that no amount of witty insults will make them shape up or go away.

Did you read the LA version? The dish is a leggy street walker. She winds up roasting the spoon to cook her heroin.

Oops. I've said too much.
