Perhaps we should amend the name of this thread to say, "sorry, no clowns or feudal vassals allowed"?

Interestingly, even committing an SI "felony" doesn't get you terminated, according to the guidelines. Well, you guys have a jailhouse lawyer, for all the good it may do you.<g> Seriously, if SI administration doesn't intend to adhere to the guidelines, they shouldn't have published them. My take on it is that we have a contract, and a contract is two-sided, so SI administration has an obligation to play by the rules, too. Especially because they wrote the rules. And a contract is enforceable.-ng-
