RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 22, 2016 Rob Ford dies. A hit for me (pissed I didn't make him my joker, but better than nothing). Let the obits flow in... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 22, 2016 Rob Ford died 22 March. Obit deadline ends 30 March 2016 0:00 UTC. Approved obits: Chinese (zh): More evidence needed: Hebrew/Persian: شهردار جنجالی تورنتو درگذشت I'm not sure which language this is. It's not Hebrew, it may be Persian, I don't know. Since I can't read it, I also doubt if it's a reliable new source. A better obit might help. Slovak (sk): Chľast, drogy a prostitútky ho nakoniec zdolali. Kontroverzný starosta zomrel. I'm not quite sure wether http://www.parlamentnelisty.sk/is a reliable news site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted March 22, 2016 Can we keep the MHDP shit to the MHDP thread please. This is an experiment. I'll eventually reorganise the lot. I promise I won't start a topic for each MHDP hit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,940 Posted March 22, 2016 Can we keep the MHDP shit to the MHDP thread please. This is an experiment. I'll eventually reorganise the lot. I promise I won't start a topic for each MHDP hit. Keep your DP to a maximum of one thread per year, like the rest of us fucking manage (it's pretty much an unwritten rule at this point). It's not bloody hard and you shouldn't get special dispensation because you're an admin who made the rules for his DP completely and utterly ludicrously difficult, making the HPDP look understandable.

En Passant 3,741 Posted March 22, 2016 You put in a duplicate of somebody elses team because the rules were too complex? Then when pulled on it state there's nothing in the rules against it. Now you have a pop at the organiser? Who yes, happens to be an admin; One who has been nothing but a responsible, helpful and considerate admin at that, at least in the couple of years I've been around hereabouts... Ah yes, you were previously banned recently, heading that way again it seems, and nobody would marvel at it if you keep this kind of thing up. There are people behind the accounts here, you're not just being rude to a computer. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are people behind the accounts here, you're not just being rude to a computer. I didn't expect the team to be realistically considered. I'm not trying to be rude, but imagine there is a hundred hits in the MHDP and a thread was started after every one to "collect" obits - the forum would be clogged up with the rubbish.
