I don't know whether this is useful to you or not: NodeBB New User Approval.
It would prevent those one-shot users from posting.
With a little tweaking you could move an approved user back into the unapproved group temporarily to make their posts require approval.

@Lithium said in The Shame Game:

The average IQ is around 100. People as a whole /cannot/ think objectively, they don't have the capability or the desire to.

The median IQ is 100 and it will always be ~100 because IQ tests are normalized every few years.

Sometimes gifs are necessary because there are very important ideas that one wishes to communicate that are difficult to put into words.
For example...

For example this is what he posted for session 3 from our chat:

Damn it Jim! I'm a dwarven warrior, not a mathematician!

Perhaps educate yourself before going on yet another one of your ill-informed owning the libs rants.

I've noticed that a few people just ignore the emoticons in a post.
I'm tickled by it.

@Tyche

Try to find nipples in an Ohio strip joint that isn’t a private club without alcohol.

I’ll wait.

Maybe Ohio is more of a purple state, and that makes it more nipple ambiguous.
And speaking of Ohio and stripping, the pride of my home town.
In Indiana, not only do they allow nipples and alcohol together, nipples are allowed to freely roam and bounce off of other living objects.

@Auspice said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

In Texas, 'indecent exposure' is defined as genitals or anus. So breasts are A-OK!

Texas is insanely backwards in some ways, but progressive in others. It's a very strange place sometimes.

I went to GenCon when it was in Minneapolis. They placed black tape over all the nipples in the artists exhibit. When GenCon moved to Indianapolis nipples were allowed. Like Texas, Indianapolis is more conservative than Minneapolis.

I think it's evidence that conservatives love nipples more than progressives.

I know that place. Has a ridiculous looking lamp in the window.

@GreenFlashlight said in The Work Thread:

Yeah, I won't take shots at anyone trying to help, but I'm really suspicious of how basically every story I hear about the Australian fires frames it in terms of animals dead and contains no mention at all of the effects on the indigenous population. It makes me think there's a horror going on there we're not being told about.

The only article I could find says they are pro fire.
Australia fires: Aboriginal planners say the bush 'needs to burn'

It's the look on the dogs face...

@HelloProject This is deliciously fun

Shocking Prison Secret: What Not To Do the First Day in Prison

@eye8urcake said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

@Tyche I have two other grandkids and one more on the way. I am a Platinum Old Fart, lol, and in good company.

I only have two, so I guess I'm just a gold old fart.
Hopefully I can get the boy married off, so I can get platinum status.
