Carebare,
First, I strongly resent the allegation that I did anything out of a bias against "newbies." Personally, I welcome new individuals to the forums, doubly so to the Current Events and Politics section as it is sort of my pet project.
That said, while I need not make my reasons public, I will do so in this case.
I deleted your double post because it was against forum rules. I do that whenever the need arises - though generally, if there is anything that looks like real content, I integrate the posts.
I told you that if you pulled that shit again I'd take more severe actions - not because you're a "newbie" (and you're not) but because you demonstrated both knowledge of the forum rules and SPECIFIC intent to break them in your post.
Indeed, for a true newbie, I would have gently reminded them in a private message and fixed their mistake for them.
Now then, another forum rule you're no doubt aware of has something to do with respecting and listening to the administrative staff. That includes me. Up until now you've been teasing and joking a little - and that's fine. With regard to violations of the forum rules, however, it stops here.
Double posting and spam posting is prohibited for several very good reasons - I get that you were making a joke - even if I didn't think it was terribly funny.
One of the privileges of seniority and status is the ability to have the last word on a subject. You've been warned - my advice is to take it to heart and let this one go.
