23. VIOLATIONS
Please report any violations of the TOS to the site administrators. Members who violate the TOS may be forced to learn the Word Association Thread by heart, or alternatively have their membership cancelled.
Russ is also planning a new profile setting indicating how often members contribute to the thread and how amusing their contributions are, e.g.:
"Once a day, not very amusing"
"Several times a day, highly predictable"
"Once a week, and my contributions will want to make you pull out your own teeth"
etc.
