The trick to fucking avoid getting banned and/or karma banned is to not even play vanilla. Vanilla is what hell would look like in mortal form.
Another trick is actually having to staff Vanilla and deal with the hundreds of reports. My karma doesn't even drop below 800 now, it's a miracle.
The trick to avoiding karma bans: Step 1: Be an admin or higher. Step 2: !karma ^ 1000 Step 3: ????? Step 4: PROFIT!
ok that's pushing it a little. Correct me if I'm wrong but I would certainly be demoted for doing such evil business.
