2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

I tell some people to KYS just so the website forces me into a ban for 6 days.
Its nice.
edit: The people I say this to are genuinely scum of the earth. Pedos, People that share animal abuse vids, and people that disrespect the current situation surrounding school shootings.
Sounds like a healthy use of your time
Which one? getting myself purposefully muted? I'd say it is yea. If extensions/willpower cant stop me from being sucked into this website then getting myself banned will fix that. So even if I go back to the site, I cant do anything. That way I can force myself into breaking from it/doing other things.
The only reason I got so caught up in using it was because of the election. I had never used it before then. For 2 weeks I would be on the site CONSTANTLY, responding to comments left to me just mere minutes ago. It was a habit that had gotten way out of control. So what better way to break this habit than me being forced into taking a break from it by catching a temp ban
You mean you tell them to KYS right?
Yes. Im not doing it out of pure rudeness, It's all towards people who either openly will share Pedophilic/Animal abuse content or people that will mock/turn school shootings into some kind of conspiracy theory. Those people fucking sicken me.
