The best thing to do is to get to know the moderators real well. (On a confidential note, that's just exactly what I'm trying to do; not sure how well it's going to work, but I think I've got a nibble.) After you have gotten pretty buddy-buddy with them, you can begin pushing buttons. You don't want to be so bad that you make your new friends mad, so go slowly, but there will be the straw that eventually breaks the camel's* (other members') back(s). I think I've gotten pretty close on more than one occasion (I was especially worried when I posted my take on speeding up the game last November), but surprisingly, after wobbling dangerously, they always managed to stay on their feet - so far. But it will happen someday. I feel sure of it. But the point is, if you get a warning point, when the moderators check it out, they'll merely think to themselves, "Oh, Blake...he's okay," and not worry about it at all. But if they do write to you, try a hand at your 5-yr-old theme: "Can't I have just one more chance? I'll be good now. I promise!" *You know, why doesn't the camel just lie down? Why does it wait until its back breaks? That would be like holding your breath, not until you needed to take another, but until you passed out. Unrealistic.
