Well, you can move on from Babble. But not from me, ok?
It really has changed, Alex. I know you don't believe it. I didn't think it was right that someone was blocked for a year for cursing unasterisked. Heck, I'd be blocked for life in real life. But that was a long time ago, and I really don't see it happening now.
If it did happen, I'd likely protest it. But it's more my nature, given my investment on Babble, to stay and protest it with words. With trying to convince Dr. Bob that the punishment didn't fit the crime, and that the rules needed to change.
But we did that, Alex, and Dr. Bob changed the rules. He put in the autoasterisker, and he blames it if it doesn't catch stuff, unless someone turned it off or clearly went to an effort to get around it. We protested, things changed.
There is more than one way to change a situation you don't like.
But none of that is suggesting that you stay, if staying is not in your best interests.
(Still, if avoiding Bob is your goal, he rarely strays from Admin these days. Ok, ok, still not trying to convince you to stay. Just offering alternatives.)
