Introducing the Off Topic Sheriff
« on: 11/26/2012 04:07 pm »
Howdy -

 I'm the Off Topic Sheriff, and if there's one thing I really won't stand for is for threads to be dragged off topic.

 From now on, if a thread is sent off topic, I will race to the scene in my patrol car - sirens blazing - to deal with the situation.

 If you, a good member of this site's public, see a thread heading off topic, please call my dispatch team by hitting the "report to moderator" on the first post that started the issue.

 First time offenders will be given a warning and sent on their way. Repeat offenders will be sent to "no posting" jail for a one day period.

 All site moderators will be given access to my account. So as far as you are concerned, you can simply call me "Sheriff".

 Have a good day y'all,
 The Off Topic Sheriff.

 (Apologies to any real life Sheriffs on here!)

SpaceX's off topic Sheriff could do the same job for 1/2 the price with 3 less Deputies.

ATK and SpaceX should partner and adopt my idea for using space lotteries to build methane-powered MCTs and launch a reality TV show to the lunar surface, before China does it.

(sorry, couldn't resist)

A Dodge Challenger?  Not going to be fast enough to stop some forum members!  What you need is a one-of-the-kind vehicle that can get you moving at record speed to taser errant forum members!  You need to trade in your Challenger for a Lamborghini Gallardo like the one the Italian Carabinieri have for high-speed pursuit.

Ironic how this is becoming very off topic! :D

Time for a lock I'm thinking.
