What does "on probation" mean, exactly? I mean really, if that person makes more grammar errors, will they actual get banned? Very few people have gotten banned, so I don't see the whole probation thing as being an effective solution.

It's a signal for them to shape up.
Public humiliation works wonders as a deterrent, you know.
Have you ever spoken to me? Have you ever seen me? What proof do you have that I exist? Or Viga? or Mrs. MacRoss? Or One Sin? Sure, there's GeekChat, but how do you know that isn't an extremely well done voice synthesizer? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
Requesting proof on the Internet will usually rapidly devolve into a Matrix argument, or Descartes for the truly hardcore.
That's not the point. Others post fairly regularly and I'm willing to believe that they actually exist. Mr. Period, however, will make a vague threat and then be active for a week or so and then we won't hear from him for months. Then he'll repeat the pattern, come on and make a vague threat, correct some punk kid's grammar once or twice, and then no activity at all for another few months. That's why I don't believe Mr. Period is real.
As am I. I could be HAL for all you know.
I was convinced for a long time that Steve was a 'bot.
I don't care about his identity. I just don't think he exists. Has anyone actually seen Mr. Period? Has anyone actually spoken to Mr. Period? There is no evidence to support his existence (other than someone pretending to be him), and so therefore I don't believe in him.
Would it really matter if he existed or not? He's a moderator. Even if he were a dog, he would still serve at the pleasure of Rym and Scott. And also, do you really think Rym and Scott would need to hide behind another account in order to keep the boards in order?

Fair enough. I was just trying to be the troll. ^_^

2: Which person did you have the most trouble eliminating?
