Suspend my account, please?

[Meadred]

Is it possible to have your account limited so that you read threads on the forums but can't post? If so, I would like to have my account reduced to "Read only status"!

The reason for this is that I seem to be under some kind of spell that forces me to post stupid things that take forever to write. I loose a lot of time better spent preparing for the next gaming session or even work (*gasp*)

All I want to do is to be able to browse the forums without the possibilty to post on them. And, no, I never play PbP so that won't be a problem.

If it isn't possible to make an account "Read only", could you please suspend my account indefinitely? (And, no, this is not a joke. I'm serious about it.)

Err... OK. If you're sure, I'll ban you.

That is something I never, ever expected to read on the internet.

Erm, at least, the person does recognize their problem of 'posting' foolishness or whatever. I guess it can be chalked up to, to, to...wow, can't put a word to this one.

Something I never expected to type!

I'd be doubly sure that the person who wrote that is actually that person. It could be a spouse, friend or other playing a mean prank on him.

mmmmmm, how do we know it is really you and not say your evil brother screwing with you? Like you could not just create another account...

Just being...

Sorry for the great stir I've caused! After a full night's sleep my aggravation over being so easily baited into writing long, pointless and stupid posts has subsided. So, for the time being I'd like to keep my account.

Again, sorry for any trouble caused.

As someone who often suffers from hoof-in-mouth disease when replying to posts, emails, etc., I offer this advice: always wait 24 hours before posting/replying. Oftentimes, something that seems so important/offending/etc. at that moment will seem trivial after the heat of the moment has passed. The fact that you started this thread asking for one thing and then changed your mind after a good night's sleep should be evidence enough of this.

Good luck! And happy posting.
