Barbesuicide: Can someone please ban me?

How: very simple, log out of your account, and then log in to mine: username:Sam Tempest, password:**

Then, proceed to my profile, and when you're there, type in some gibberish in the 'password' field. Don't look at the keyboard!

I've already modified my email, so I will not be tempted to email myself my new password.

Hit update, then log out, and back to your account.

Why: Because I feel like I don't belong here. Only thing is that I keep coming back! Been logging out, throwing the 'B' bookmark away, only to find myself logging in again a few days later.

FAQ:

Q:But you could have done it yourself!

A:Sure, but I'm a coward, and couldn't manage to pull the trigger myself. And it would have lacked the meta-ishness so characteristic of Barbelith. Also, nobody would have noticed.

Q:That's a nasty thing to ask!

A:It's only the Passive aggressive side of my personality wanting to have a ride. Nothing personal.

Q:But WHY?

A:Hey, else this will end out with me doing stupid stuff to get myself banned, I don't want to do that. Also, "You don't mess with a board full of fucking magicians". Seriously, I don't think I have anything of value to bring to this place, and I'm neither clever nor witty. The B is now taking up too much of my mental space for my own good. I desperately want to be accepted here, but I don't feel this is coming up too good. Feel free to unleash your thought on how my ficsuit has missed the door, I'm sure to come back lurking in a while.

Or just plain change my pw and let this sink to the bottom of convo like a rock. I'm used to it.

Q: Is it a real suicide or a call for help thing?

A: I don't know.

Q: Can I do the same?

A: Sure, explain your motives, and post your log/pass here. If I'm dropping by at this time, I'll return the favor.

Q: I'm not registered, can I hijack your suit?

A: If you feel you'll do better than me, feel free to do so, my name expire in two days. This won't probably be the better start you can take in this place, though.

Ok, hitting 'Post Topic' and logging off now. Bye!

Yeah, I think I remember something similar. This is ridiculous. Why not just stop posting? Why open your ficsuit to any troll lurking around?

It's not "suicide" because suicide is the completed act of killing oneself. At most, it'd constitute a poorly-executed online parasuicide.

They had a thrilling victory over French champions Biarritz in Cardiff.

Sam T, I now have your account. You have 40-odd PMs, and it's a little irresponsible to lay those open to any old troll who happens to be reading; this is one of the problems I have with people pulling this kind of crap.

If you want your account back, email me or contact me via other Barbeloids. You'll need to make a very convincing case for you being you.

Hope this has made you happier.

I think you need to work on why you're obsessed, or slightly obsessed, with Barbelith, and why you want to be accepted.

I've toyed with the idea of leaving here on and off for ages, but in the end.......well, this place can be cool for a lot of different reasons.

Ah, the whole Sypha spectacle runs over again.

They should put Barbelith on the telly instead of Home and Away.

Oh that's harsh. At least Sam actually gave us his password.

Has anybody done this yet? I'm tempted to, just for the fun of it.

Ah, I see Ganesh has beaten me to it. Good, better to have the suit in more responsible hands.

Oh I can see that Ganesh has taken this already, I was about to moderate the password out. Sam you can email the applications address if you want to get in touch with Ganesh.

Or, y'know, just go through the whole application process again. Don't really want this becoming a habit.

Incidentally, WRT

A: Sure, explain your motives, and post your log/pass here. If I'm dropping by at this time, I'll return the favor.-

if anyone else DOES feel like doing the same, please fucking don't. It's a bloody stupid security risk, and nobody will thank you for it.

Although the idea of a new ficsuit that everyone has access to is rather interesting. As long as they posted as that suit, it would be an interesting attempt at a barbelith mass-mind.

In theory, yes... in practice, there'd be nothing to stop anyone logging into it and posting a bunch of hatespeech or otherwise nasty bullshit, and we'd have no way of telling who it was.

It's a shame, really, cos I do get your point.

Except that I've changed the password to something slightly more difficult than '23'.

Thank you, Dr G.

Bah! It was just 23 in binary.
