D&D's the only system for comparitive dragon studies

Anything else is inherently flawed because every religious/mythological system has a different definition of what dragons are. None of them, however, depict dragons with boobs, interestingly enough.

You are so banned.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

But they both broke a rule with a punishment of banning and yet only one group gets banned. They were both sticky threads, so they both should know, so this enforcement seems a little uneven, but hey.
***HOWEVER***
I will not persue my opinion any further than this in public. I don't have a problem with the act of moderation, but I am definitely curious as to what makes the difference.

The punishment for misuse of the spoiler tag isn't banning, hence why our posts were obviously made in jest.

Drysart just doesn't find that funny. At all.

I was under the impression that "severe punishment" meant mostly "bannable offense." As far as I know it's the first offense of either kind and thus if one would warrent a warning before going full-bore then so does the other.

But if it's NOT a bannable offense than okay. That's cool too.

Super Kagrama had this to say about (_|_):

Shadowrun was a good game.

Shadowrun, like Rifts, could be MADE into a good game, but as it was when it came out in the most recent edition, they set rules, then set the rules on how to break them (negative essence, for one). It fell into the Rifts mindset that every new sourcebook that came out had to open up new doors that gave players an excuse to break rules laid out in the previous ruleset. The weapons became increasingly ludicrous, the vehicles were getting very out of hand (A hovertank should never cost less than a moderately tweaked out car, I don't care what game it is), and cybernetics were, to be blunt, broken, but only to keep up with how you could spank the system to jazz up your Physical Adept.

Don't get me wrong, I love the cyberpunk genre. If the person running the Shadowrun game puts a lot of effort into it and keeps tight rein on what he/she will or will not allow the players to get away with, then it's still a great game. But as it is straight off the shelf, it's a baaaaaad system, and the sourcebooks don't help it get any better. I've played in good Shadowrun games. I loved the good ones, but most aren't good...they're bad. You go in looking for the experience you got out of Neuromancer or Burning Chrome or whatever and you get a game of urban warfare with elves, orcs, and trolls.
