I'd like to bring to attention a actions that have been more frequently occurring on the forum recently.

*The posting of 'Lenny' faces: Enough is enough. The MLG bang has gone from somewhat funny to repetitive and unoriginal and constant and the same thing over and over and over and repetitive and unoriginal and... exactly the point. You can post text faces, sure, but in relevant context like :P for something goofy and :D for something fun. Posting these Lenny faces amounts to spam, and from now on, that is what it will be deemed as. Accordingly, you will be subject to the conditions outlined in the site policy. This includes the chat, so don't be surprised if you are kicked for posting them.

*The use of templates: Templates are designed with a functional use in mind. Some are more complicated than others, and some do things that you might not expect. The forum is not a place to play around with templates, especially if you don't understand how they work. There is a sandbox page for this, if you would like to trial and experiment. Article status templates in particular have been popping up on the forum, and certain ones automatically apply categories, which we do not want. For this reason, please refrain from using them. There is also the USERNAME template. Sure it is a cool feature, but using it to confuse people isn't why we have it. Use it in moderation.
