Why? For making an observation on how to improve the site and for posting an opinion?
I think the mods are wonderful at keeping the site civil and fun. I DO NOT envy them their jobs of keeping us wackos in line!!

How so?
I didn't think my post was offensive at all, just making a suggestion. I mean, 21 stickies/announcements IMO is quite excessive. I do like these forms, and having to scroll down a bunch of posts I've already read every time I visit this site isn't such a burden that I don't come here at all (obviously). But it is annoying, to me at least, and one reason I prefer other boards to this one (though I haven't found a boa board I like more, I do spend more time and posts on the corn snake one).
If voicing my opinion in such an inoffensive way get's me banned, then I guess this really isn't the right form for me anyway.

Re: How To Annoy the Staff of RTB:
The way I look at it is if you don't like the rules or how this site is ran, you can leave just as easy as you joined!

That's a little extreme, isn't it? I didn't say "OMGZ I hate 21 stickies if you don't clean it up I'm leaving!!11!!", in fact I remember saying I DO like this site and the stickies were an annoyance, and perhaps cleaning them up would improve the site.
I made a suggestion, one I'm sure at least a few people agree with; or do you like 21 posts on top of the new ones about topics you read already? I will leave the site if things are *THAT* terrible, I've left sites in the past over how they ran the board, I usually mention why I left just so they know - but never in a disrespectful manner. People usually like to know what aspects of their site attract or repel people (In this case, it was huge animated signatures that messed with my load-time). Most sites want to *improve* traffic, as they get revenue off the adds.
In short, get a grip. I already indicated I like this site more than I hate the stickies, so what do you not understand about that?

Re: How To Annoy the Staff of RTB:
I for one, curse like a sailor IRL, so NOT cussing here for me is excrutiating to say the least.
Especially when it would be so funny in 9 out of 10 instances... 
If I can manage, so can anyone else!
tis the rules

The Australian forms are the perfect outlet, lol. They never "think of the children" over there. And it's fun to read all their posts in the Australian accent.
I do feel bad for their limited choice in herps though, so sad.

True story: One of our most active members was not able to come here for quite some time because we allow the use of the word "Crap". I am not in favor of labeling another word as against the TOS, so it was sad to see them go, but there you have it. Just because your experience is with parents who cuss doesn't mean that all parents cuss. Many go out of their way to avoid any form of cursing.

Our? What you got a frog in your pocket?
This is not a democracy. This is not a collective of public say. Here at RTB you (and your frog) are invited into our house. We ask politely that you abide by our rules. If you refuse to abide by our rules, you can very easily be un-invited.
I am terribly sorry if that sounds harsh, but, as you suggest, I am nothing but a power-hungry dictator who thinks he knows best.

The other 1% annoys us.
If your goal is to annoy the staff, see how many infraction points you can rack up, and see how quick you can get banned, please follow these simple steps:
1.) Do your best to pick out every little detail of someone's post, extrapolate out of that something that you feel is heinous, and Make sure to tell them about how bad that is. They will love it.
2.) If someone has just done step one to you, be sure to fire back a reply calling them names, questioning their credentials and insulting them in whatever way you feel appropriate.
3.) Follow each other and keep taking potshots at each other in threads that have NOTHING to do with the topic you are fighting about.
4.) Whine when you get an infraction.
Keep this pattern up and you will get banned. Then you can spend the rest of your days doing what so many do: e-mailing, calling, writing, or sending smoke signals to that evil Morti character and begging for your account to be reinstated.
Granted, there are faster ways to get banned, but for some reason, it seems SEVERAL people are currently following this path. Please stop. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I will gladly review anyone on a case by case basis and tell you how high up the annoyance scale you are and what you can do to reduce your "Threat Level".
Thanks,
-Your Sick Uncle Morti.

America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. – John Quincy Adams (1821)
