The mischievous side of me has always wanted to join HF and see if I could get permanently banned in less than 24 hours. But it seems like too much work. Perhaps not so anymore. 

Just register your username as "judehateschangstar" or something like that. You'd get banned almost instantly.

@all, same here. Joined and didn't bothered looking for T.O.S., then got along.

@Purrin, don't remember agreeing anything, but that was a while ago. Obviously it didn't matter to me, as I knew where I was going. That said, with the growth of the audience recently, I've been wondering whether a simple reminder would be useful. Kinda "expect to get your chops busted if you spew B.S." thing. Just stream of consciousness, disregard if unnecessary or ridiculous. 

Actually my first thought about that was "what we stand for", and "what to expect if". It's true the manifesto from 2012 actually hints at it, but sometimes it's necessary to spell it out. To me T.O.S are for commercial purpose, and this forum isn't, so they don't apply here.

It not just busting your chops, it's taking the effort to show the BS. Here is a recent example:  http://www.changstar.com/index.php/topic,2613.msg74262.html#msg74262

Rather than argue with words based on "thought exercises", best to demonstrate or actually try it.

Probably the closest thing to a vision document. Supposedly Jude was really pissed off at this. I am not sure why.

I actually have an update, but not sure if I want to publish it. Some things have changed. Most things not so much.
