Deputy Gomer Pyle

I'm setting all the replies invisible because everyone was attacking everyone else. Let's try it again. Don't attack other people, and that includes attacks on Pubby. Play nice and you'll be treated nice.

Thread closed at OP's request.

PCOM Rule #9. "Violations may result in you getting a Bullet. The deputies may also reward you with a "Mayberry." Bullets are "over par" or positive numbers below your screen name. Mayberries are "under par" or negatives below your screen name. Only you can see these. Bullets are bad. Mayberries are good. When the bullet count gets to three (3), there is a three (3) day suspension. Four (4) bullets will mean five (5) days off. Five (5) bullets equals eight ( days of no posting. Six (6) will mean a fourteen (14) day suspension. When seven (7) bullets are reached, that's a twenty-one (21) day ba

That is what pubby said, as well. I found a legend on IP.Board's own website but this is not inclusive nor are all of the listed emoticons enabled on Paulding.com Emoticons legend Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames.

This problem started when pubby disabled all of the features that use JavaScript after the site was hacked. The prevent the HTML line break tags from appearing in your replies, go to your Control Panel Settings and uncheck "Enable visual (RTE) editor?".

G-o-l-l-y, I'm glad you finally had a chance to say that. I prefer regular cow cheese. Pubby would need to chime in on what the current situation is with either a fix or upgrade, though I don't think he would turn down any donations or offers of early renewals.

Pubby discovered a few days ago that a malicious hacker had apparently injected code that redirected users to a spam website. Pubby took measures to kill the hack but at the same time, apparently also killed any function that uses JavaScript (dropdown menus, topic previews, the Rich Text Editor, etc.) Additionally, he must have done something that effected how line breaks (returns) in posts are properly converted to HTML for viewing because now the HTML code for line break is displayed when quoting a post. Pubby said in the other topics that he was waiting on other experts to fix the probl

I don't know what was going on earlier but I see all three topics are now visible in the Internet Cafe. I will be moving the topics to Wanted: Goods and Services.

Golly SusieQ, men don't know anything about manicures. I do know that when Aunt Bee makes apple pie, she puts a layer of crust in the pan, then pours in a layer of the good stuff, then covers it with another layer of crust. Is paving the road something like that?

Hello Lucky. Did you bring coffee and donuts for this meeting?

Send a message to pubby, he is the only administrator. Anything a moderator can help with?

It looks like this thread has run its course and is getting off subject.

You may have noticed that Paulding.com has an indistinct "The Andy Griffith Show" theme that relates this online community to the TV show community of Mayberry. The forum moderators are titled as Mayberry Sheriff and their names are characters from the "The Andy Griffith Show" (as well as from other shows that these characters were in.) Instead of using terms such as "sanction", we "give bullets" when someone is out of order. (Maybe pubby derived this from the TV show where Andy gives Barney only one bullet to carrying in his shirt pocket after Barney shows a lack of ability to handle his

I did not feel that a photo of a gun pointed at a baby was appropriate for the Internet Cafe. Even with the title "This disgusts me", I was not expecting to be disgusted, without warning about what I was about to see. I'm sorry for failing to send you a notice that your thread was moved.

I apologize for not be clear. The Warn Status has a range of -30 to +10 and your current level is shown in the middle. Mayberries lower the Warn Status while bullets increase it. Consider par to be an equal amount of mayberries and bullets, so under par is good and over par is bad.

Suspended? I don't see that in your Warn Logs but I digress. Mayberries do give you more leeway to misbehave before you can be suspended, however, we do not encourage misbehavior. Maybe we could allow members to donate their mayberries to others. You can review your Warn Logs by clicking on Warn Status You will be banned when your Warn Status is up to 10. That may include more than 10 bullets if you have received mayberries. In other words, discipline is issued when you have received more bullets than mayberries.

You got one bullet several years ago but have an orchard of mayberries. I think you're maxed out. Do something good and we'll find out. Once upon a time, lowrider made Top Poster status. Maybe I am biased after all. I think I'm saying too much

I just read my post and didn't hear the joking tone of voice that I had when I typed it. Maybe I should have put a picture of that smiling yellow fellow afterwards. Anyway, I did give her a mayberry for reminding me about mayberries.

Trying the guilt trip approach? That won't work with me. However, thanks for being a positive influence to the community with all the good deeds you do and for reminding me that we can give out mayberries.

Golly, I don't think mayberries should be handed out upon request. However, I will try to be more observant for situations where being awarded a mayberry would be appropriate. If you see someone doing something really good and helping others in the community, go ahead and use the report button to bring it to our attention. Don't get carried away though.

I'm glad that markdavd was able to identify the object in the blurry photo. When I saw this thread, I was hoping to see a photo of a box of casters.

This is a new rule regarding personal attacks in signatures. I'm pretty sure there has always been a "public notice" thread when a new rule is implemented. The rule may have been provoked by a certain signature line that multiple members were sharing recently, but the rule isn't only for the most recent issue. Apparently your idea of ganging up on someone differs from mine. When multiple members each put "Proud member of Brothers Against Crazy Old Nutcases" in their signature, then collectively post insults in The Postman's threads (whether provoked or not) and particularly take a thr

Did I miss something...what is happening on the 15th? To answer your question, I've quoted the relevant parts of pubby's posts.
