The culture on the Bored is very much laissez faire in that respect. Moderators pretty much restrict intervention to honest-to-goodness legal issues (and spam, when that used to get through to the Bored). Other than that (and I don't think any legal issues have arisen in the life of the Bored), the community here relies on peer pressure and persuasion. --Bob

Good old peer pressure is doing the job just fine.
Sure looks like it.

If Nelly wants to stick a fork in whatever last shreds of non-negative reputation he may have had with other people on the Bored, who am I to interfere and not allow him to accomplish it? Besides, if I was going buck over a decade and a half of Bored tradition and delete his pastor-like contributions from this meadow muffin message board, I would have certainly done that after he pulled this stunt seven years ago. This isn't the most egregiously despicable thing he's ever done on this forum... it's just the first time everyone else has taken notice and banded together to make perfectly clear that this kind of beyond the pale behavior will no longer be patronized in this here establishment...

If a game falls in the forest, and nobody bothers to pay any attention to it, does it really make a sound?

Since it has fallen off the front page, this needs a bump...

I haven't been keeping track, but does anyone know who's currently in the lead in the Pastor's game?

Depends on whether he includes players who have since disavowed the game. I'm in last place (intentionally) with a negative score.

It takes a special kind of twisted to continue on with a game he was so obviously in the wrong for appropriating, even though he knows no one will play it.

That's why I asked previously if he is "okay."
Well, then
