Other offences (note spelling) that you may be pulled in for:

TAILGATING: consistently and deliberately posting immediately after someone else in every topic

PEDANTRY: criticising (note spelling) the spelling or grammar of another's posting - while making no attempt to develop the original idea

THREE-ISM: inventing a completely spurious third point to fluff out a post

It goes without saying that there will obviously be a secret, sinister, plainclothes group behind the friendly, helpful uniformed branch of TFP. TSFP will no doubt run fund-raisers for AI: The Secret Forum Policemen's Ball, followed by: The Secret Forum Policemen's Other Ball, and so on and so forth.

Apparently someone thinks there are not too many posts claiming: (1) "my opponent cheated -- only Fritz 11 would have been able to spot my numerous blunders and inaccuracies"; (2) "my opponent is the lowest form of life on Earth for playing on one move longer than I -- measure of all things -- deemed him entitled to play"; and (3) "I've peed my pants yet again waiting impatiently by my computer for my opponent to get back from vacation".

They all seem to be the result of excess ego and immaturity. But I'm biased and unwilling to give them a fair shake.


L O L !   That's perfect.

Artfizz, I'm not entirely sure about your use of grammar. Your spelling is perfect, but I think your sentence structure is somewhat lacking. The gratuitous use of capitalisation is also a touch worrying.

I'd better fall on my truncheon, then.

Forum moderators would be a good idea, some of the threads of late are just irritating.

Forum moderators already exist, but the first rule of the group is that "You do not talk about forum moderators".

I think the Moderators are in charge of that.
