Just a little FYI to the community, I've made a slight change to the requirements for new users that want to sign up for an account. Since we've had a handful of bigoted users come on lately that obviously did not read the rules or the intro PM or the intro email or the Guide to Using StP thread, I've decided to add an 'asshole check' to the registration form:
Now, obviously, the purpose of this is not to cleverly trick assholes into being unable to complete their registration (because an asshole would just lie, and click the box), but more so to make it painfully clear that we don't want assholes here. Assholes are not welcome here and I hope this little speed bump in the registration process makes that a little bit clearer. Hell, maybe we'll even see a reduction in people posting bigoted bullshit and not have to ban folks quite so much? I certainly hope so!
