I thought the answer would be "suicide".

All joking aside, I'd stated as much many times before and even within the last couple weeks a time or few.

I suggested that people be temp banned for 2 days, then 2 weeks, then permanently.

I've also suggested that 3 strikes with each strike expiring after a time, such as 6 months, meaning that if you fuck up once per season max, you'll be gone in under a year.

Most of all I firmly believe it should not be up to one person's discretion and that we should have trusted teams for fairness on SaidIt.

Since I've not been updated otherwise, I still have at least 2 strikes over my head from years ago, though I'm still very unclear what for specifically other than we had a spat.

Do me a solid and make up and/or leave Amelia out of it.

I was so tempted to post that on your thing, when you were writing about reasons you might not be around. Lol.

NO SIR. THIS IS A COMMUNITY AND WE DO NOT EXILE OUR MEMBERS.

Isn't that what we all hate about reddit? Why not just do 2 day bans. Amelia will have a blast banning people for 2 days, nobody is permed, everyone wins.

She is integral to my plan.

I didn't know either—I've missed a few mini-series over the years. So here is Urban Dict on based: The quality of having an opinion without regard for what other people think, often a controversial opinion but not always. Upon expressing such an opinion it is customary for others to acknowledge the person as being based.

I thought is was also associated with conservatives, the Right, and/or Alt-Right. Or maybe that's just the examples I've seen, aside from Shoe0nHead.

Also, while not necessarily, it seems like it's often a compliment and praise for being courageous in your convictions.

I agree completely but that was the most upvoted definition on Urban Dictionary, that is pretty sketchy, but I rely on it as an expatriate. I'm guessing the average age on UD is 19. I thought it just meant a Trump supporter who was well-informed.

I like ShoeOnHead even though we don't always agree—reference to a Dali painting and the movie Brazil that I recommend to everyone who hasn't seen it, if you can find it.

Even Wiktionary is compromised too.
