Is again, a blatant lie.
It still seems a bit like a cheap shot to edit his thread titles after him being so vocal about it. I quite like seeing stuff appear in my thread titles but if someone doesn't then maybe whoever should just leave alone.

Not disputing that. I dispute that nobody has told him it was technically impossible in current state to satisfy his needs, other than the honor system, which he understands (I don't need to cite this too, do I?) is unreasonable.

Maybe, but I know what I don't want.
OMG, you literally said something from the quote board!

That's awesome, our whiteboard got stolen by sales. I was trying to fill it with Archer quotes before anyone noticed.

As a non-admin, I have a question for you: what do you expect the admins to do? The way I see it, until we can switch forums, there are three options:
Do nothing about the trust levels.
Change the requirements for TL3.
Basically the same as 2, but make the limits so high that you effectively eliminate TL3.Here's the problem with options 2 and 3: they would suddenly block people from the lounge for arbitrary reasons, something that you complained about loudly when it happened to you.
Notice that "change what TL3 are allowed to do" isn't an option, because Discourse doesn't let you do that.
Is there any way that we could MD5 hash all of blakey's thread titles? That would remove all incentive to put amusing stuff in them and it seems like a natural DiscoDev solution to the problem. Also, everyone would be able to tell easily which are blakeythreads. Win-win.

My problem is that people keep changing my shit without asking my permission first.
I asked your permission. You said no, so I am not going to ask anymore. The system sucks, you are the man and you are keeping me down. I just want to express myself.

Yeah yeah, make fun of me.
I have been, ever since you gave me permission.
Your post of a few minutes ago is literally the first time anybody's ever told me that it's not possible to change what a TL3 person can do.
If an admin had just said that the first time I requested that they change this, then I wouldn't have spend the last month or whatever assuming they were just jerks ignoring my request entirely.
That wouldn't have been nearly as much fun for the rest of us.

Is again, a blatant lie.
There, done your research for you, so you don't have to.
End of discussion.

I'm just a jerk not ignoring your requests. I wouldn't change it if I could. A lot of the topic name changes are amusing.

You don't need to give him a reason to call you an asshole. He will anyway.
Hell, he will go out of his way to feign stupidity/Draxness just so you can say something he can rage over.

Bad news: This necessitated that I somewhat reluctantly create a Google+/Gmail account for myself.
Sounds like a job for the FWP topic!

No, it's OK now because you can get a download of your posts.
Notice that "change what TL3 are allowed to do" isn't an option, because Discourse doesn't let you do that.
I bet @ben_lubar's
bravefoolhardy enough to try to hack the problematic functionality out.

You should post on meta.derp requesting the ability to lock your own thread titles except for actual mods/admins, or something like that.
-

You'd've known that like a year ago if you hadn't banned yourself from TL3.

#ONCE AGAIN PEOPLE:
Ask my permission before editing thread titles to remove ο:moon:. If I didn't want stupid emojis in them, I'd have taken them out myself.
And once again, I BEG the admins of this site to do SOMETHING so that more people have the ability to add ο:moon: to thread titles. I don't care what Discourse says, I do not have the "level of trust" in these people to not add ο:moon: themselves.

Oh well why don't you just go into one of my threads and call me an idiot, I'm sure that'll help your snotty kid not drown.

Already did that. Now he is rolling around cooing. It must have worked. Thanks man.

Status: Day 2 of taking a sanity-break from work. Remember how great it is to not be employed.
I got like 75% of my week's chores done yesterday, so today I basically did nothing except waste time and eat donuts. Which I'm doing more of right now. Also drinking a can of Rainier.
I wonder how much money I'd have if I'd spend this time doing something productive, like working on one of my software products. But then I get another donut.

For better or for worse, I am the office Archer.
We have a well defined Pam, Lana, Cheryl quit (she was dead on, down to the kinks, absurd background and all), definitely a Krieger, Cyril, hell, even a Barry. Malory is embodied in our entire management organization.
We lack a good Ray, though.
-
Is Ray the gay guy who runs Mission Control, or the short guy who's obsessed with hobbits?
-
Ray is in fact the gay one.

See I could work with Ray, the hobbit guy I'm not sure about.

Status: Urgent ticket, user working from home needs phone assistance connecting to the VPN.
Thanks for calling, I need access to our network drives and internal web services on my XP notebook.
OK, that should be fine. Can you go to the start menu and type 'network' in the little box?
Oh, I don't have it here at the moment.
...Action: deferred until user has the equipment to configure actually with them.
Edit: Just realised XP doesn't even have 'the little box' in the start menu. Maybe I should fire up an XP VM and check XP can even still authenticate to our VPN

I wouldn't want to have to get people to type 'control netcpl.cpl'. The search bar thing is actually really useful for getting novices to navigate to deep and dingy bits of windows without playing the 'can you see the icon that says...?'

STATUS Just found the wonderfully name class Part, its sequel Part2 but alas no Parrt3 to fill out the trilogy. Is it so difficult to name your class "Sort Descriptive word relating to part's function"Part instead of the generic abstract name of the super class and relying namespace to for me to find it. There is 3 editors with the same naming convention too. At least its consistent.

Ok, at least we're down to millions.
Oh look, found one that's not a lie! That indeed is a cat on a scooter. We could debate the "adorable" part, but I'll let it slide.
Overall, 3/10, would not go with AdBlock off again.
