OMG

I really hope the new site features bookmarks/subscriptions more prominently.

It really does make a better forum since people spend more time in threads they actually care about.

You can check the closed, pinned Lounge thread The New ATRL for sample layouts; those have not changed to my knowledge and will not change the overall ATRL setup significantly!

My favorite is probably Weekend, which I'll post here for the sake of convenience:

dd what kinda mess

[MillionLights]

Idk if this has been discussed before but why isn't the use of "The Lord" to refer to Taylor Swift warnable? I know some significant nicknames like Legend X (which are widely used and recognisable, and have been going for years) are tolerated but "The Lord" isn't one of them.

Lipton making the Taylor stans mad

If the answer is no, then absolutely nobody should be concerned with his status as a moderator and I find it rude to suggest both "obsession" and inability to handle a staff position.

Lipton has been a moderator longer than I've even been on the site and he's done a very good job so far - if Athens and the rest of the mods disagreed, he wouldn't be a part of the team. While moderators are held to a higher standard, a measure of respect should come with the title, given that he has dedicated his own time and energy to preserving the function of this site.

A little commentary on an artist he happens to dislike, for whatever reason, changes none of this.

Fine, i just find it unusual having been on the site for a long time as well.

No hard feelings.

For two reasons, the first is that it's a term used for people in a specific position of power. It's never been an exclusive word to the Bible. And second, The Lord doesn't actually mangle Taylor's name (neither does Legend X) like saying Rihsus or Successia Legendson.

And I imagine it would cause a headache if The Lord was warnable. It would make other similar ambiguous terms to be deemed in the same category. Unnecessary work for the moderators.

Yes it was discussed some days ago here and nope, it's not warnable.

Because its truthful representation of Taylor Swift in writing.

To anyone with further update questions, I'll direct you to last year's Q&A Session from Athens. It doesn't cover everything, but it's the best source of information you have (right now!).

The Lord does not mangle her name (also, Legend X is not warnable for that very reason, not due to recognition).

Supersymmetry, the first word in your old username is of particular concern to me regarding a name change because it's on a special censor. Many other censored words aren't removed if they're in most compound terms, while that word is specifically targeted as a sequential combination that is invariably removed. That's why, for example, wouldn't work when it was still :hey****you:.

Not a special censor.
omg, heaven couldn't wait for her.

And none toward you - you're a great member and I have nothing but respect for you, just defending my colleagues for whom I have the utmost respect as well.
