How do you pm a mod if you're banned?

Honestly, the best thing to do is PM a mod that you know doesn't have a beef with you. There are 3-4 mods on here I can trust and if there's ever an issue I go straight to them.

While you can't PM one during a ban, PM one after and ask what you did wrong. Every mod (but one and no I will not say who) is very helpful in explaining why you were banned.

Angie, Linden, and Adam are GREAT when it comes to communicating with posters. They may not have all the specifics on your ban, but they'll always do what they can to make sure you understand what you did that caused a ban.

MJ and Workman are great. Neither act all high and mighty with their mod power, so I typically don't talk to them about bans unless it is in a gaming forum.

Those are 5 highly recommended mods to PM if you ever have questions about a ban.

That being said, you won't see a whole page on what it takes to get banned because

1. It will let you guys see where the line is and how close you can get to getting banned without getting banned.

2. Posters will dispute every ban, trying to find loop holes

3. Bans are typically a case by case basis.

I've had 129 Amazon orders so far this year, and Christmas shopping isn't done yet. ;)

Right now we have both the PS4 and PS3 (and Wii which hardly gets touched) hooked to the same tv. Overkill? Waiting for new TV to be delivered Friday, then this tv and the PS3 get moved to our room.

Need to make 4 dozen cookies for a charity event Sat. Will prob make 2 kinds. Any requests? No nuts/peanut butter. Prefer Christmas-y cookies. And once I get back to the kitchen baking, I will still be here.

Random enough?


so getting an Amazon gift card for SIL instead of going overboard on baby gifts for baby niece is a good choice, you're saying?

Sugar cookies with cream cheese frosting. You're probably classier than I am though and have something besides a wine glass to cut out the shapes with.

has anybody noticed gas prices lately? The only good thing about my car getting destroyed is the gas light had just come on. So now I'll save about $6 filling it up now instead of 2 weeks ago.

$7,000 in damages but I'm going to save $6 so it's all a wash, right?

Out of 129 orders, what shipping services were used and how many were delivered late and how much did you complain about it?

Yes on the amazon gc. I do subscribe and save on diapers/wipes plus buy a lot of other kids related stuff (mostly toys). Great idea.

Umm, you don't want to see my cookie cutter collection. One of my side hobbies besides cake baking. ;)

99% of the orders were with Prime--majority UPS, a few Fed Ex. One was even a day early yesterday through USPS. No real comment until after Friday, don't want to jinx anything.

The regulars have not been banned, even temporarily. If RT is not your thing, please avoid. If you keep coming in to stir up trouble, you're going to be reported.
I wasn't trying to stir anything up. Just asking a question.

since baby niece can wear just make use of all the hardly worn clothes/toys of the almost 3 year old........I figured mom can use that to buy baby things she actually needs.

of course you have a cookie cutter collection. Cause you're like a real mom. One of those cool ones who the kids bring their friends over to see because there's always some type of delicious treat at their house. Someday I want to be one of those moms.


Guess I should learn to cook and bake more, ha!

It's actually been lower than I've ever seen it here. 3.50 a gallon!

CW included his email address in the rules thread when asked how you PM a MOD when banned. He said you could always email him.

Be aware everyone, I have been told by a MOD that there is a very short leash for trying to get threads closed through shenanigans. Think about it before you continue to stir the pot. I, for one, will be very careful with what I say for the foreseeable future. I can't blame them one bit, either.

Word to the wise...

Missed you all last night. My wife had an appendicitis at 27 weeks pregnant. I believe I have now slept for two hours since 6AM yesterday.

Thoughts & prayers. Hope everything turns out fine.
