Basically, in and of itself, the comment from sweetmartin could slide. But, based on his previous warnings and bad behavior, the strike was warranted.

Then for the sake of letting users know you are doing your job, next time you randomly give someone a warning for something that looks "in and of itself" harmless. Please explain. A normal user will not know what's tolerated and what isn't with out doing so.

A normal user need only read our rules and guidelines to get an idea of why a member may be given a strike.

In the end, it is usually safer to err on the side of caution, no? Also, I'd like to direct any further conversation about strikes and forum policy to the sffworld.com comments, feedback... forum.

No, but seriously. When is this book coming out?

I'd suggest being democratic since a forum is only worth anything if the community are happy and co-operative, but, meh, there are rules. I'm not good with authority, though.

Maybe you could opperative on a system of law, though. If there's significent opposition, you should maybe ask the victim (Wert, in this case) if he cares enough to want 'to press charges'? That way you can keep victims happy and at least show some sense of community spirit.

But ouch, man, The 'Fart'zone? What an embarrasing insult to get a strike for. When I get my strike I hope to have got it for something badass. -eternally hopeful-

Hahaha... oh man... still laughing.

This thread got really funny on p. 119.

I agree with this. Then, 12 randomly selected people on the board are selected for jury duty, and we take a vote. Of course, the defendent can plead his case, and also has the right to select someone as a defense lawyer.

What?! Who in their right mind would use that as a form of judicial decision?

....oh ya =/

Note to self: Never use the word "fart" on this forum.

**Werthead** · November 24th, 2010, 05:34 PM

I have to say that the strike was possibly a little harsh. Certainly I was laughing too hard at the inanity of it to be offended.

It's snowing.

On Jon. On the krakens. On me.

We all slog onward.

Finished a chapter a few days ago. Revised another. Then re-revised it.

The days go too fast, the work too slowly. But onward.

Uh...

I hate to say this, but...

Well, I was always told that if an author hates their own writnig, how can anyone else be expected to enjoy it?

Everyone gets a bit downtrodden or fed up, but Martin seems to be that way all the time with his novel...

I'm scared. : (

No, I don't think he HATES it, he's just a perfectionist...which is why we've been waiting so long for ADWD!
