In the thread about Obama's aunt. Self-explanatory.

(Also: Please, thanks, etc)

Thread jacking, and also some mild flaming now.

No.

Heikoku, I have no intention of encouraging you and TAI to believe that you are at liberty to enter a thread, wrench it to the topic you have both discussed repeatedly to no avail, and then expect mods to clean up after you.

There are rules against threadjacking. There are rules against pursuing a "conversation", to use an inaccurately polite term for it, over several threads.

As you and TAI are both in breach of those rules, you may both have a red card to remind you of their existence.

Normally I would say that if the matter is of such general interest, you should start another thread on the specific topic.

To do so is, of course, your choice.

However, note that receiving an infraction puts you under an obligation to avoid similar offences for seven days.

Sdaeriji, thank you for your courtesy in providing a link.

It enabled me to read Heikoku's comment:

Can any of the mods that I'm sure are watching (due to the invisible extra member in the list) split this?

I seem to remember, in one of the many threads asking how to stay logged on, that Fris commented he had on occasion been able to stay logged on to the forums for several months.

That being the case, it is best not to assume on such slender evidence that mods are reading each and every golden word written on the forums.

EDIT: Finding that the rulebreaking had accelerated while I was making my original post, I have amended (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=14157916&postcount=59) the penalty to a 24-hour ban on Heikoku 2 and The Atlantian Islands.
