Never mind, I found it.
Infraction System
If a user violates a rule, they will be given 1 warning. If the
incident occurs again, infraction points will be given by a
moderator. Infractions point will stay on your record and
accumulate until they expire.
Infraction Points
Period Banned from Message Board
5 points 1 week
10 points 2 weeks
15 points 1 month
Infraction Infraction Points Expires
Inappropriate Content 5 12 months
Personal Information 5 12 months
Harassment/Rudeness 5 12 months
Outside Links/Email Address 5 12 months
Spamming 1 1 month
Chatting 1 1 month
Posting Copyrighted Information 1 1 month
So 5 in a year isn't close to getting kicked off. Still, I'm tempted to plead for clemency on the grounds that I'm used to posting on a board that has no rules at all.

And when she came home (not expecting me to be there at all as she works late and I don't drop by her place when she's working late) she didn't laugh at the cheesiness. She gasped, then "oooooo'd", then followed the path, turned the corner, saw the heart, the ring and me on one knee, went "Awwwwwwwww"--just like in the movie!--which she hadn't seen--and then got all giggly and happy (and said "yes" very emphatically).
If I knew then...I would have done something more like this. My proposal was much less romantic (it scored slightly less than 1 on a 1-10 scale) but I guess it worked. This will be a great memory and one that can be shared for years and years to come. Wish I'd been more like you.

Guess there's an advantage to waiting till old age before proposing.

Guess there's an advantage to waiting till old age before proposing. Almost any method of proposing is better than the one Hugh Laurie wanted to use in Blackadder:
George: So what's the plan?
Blackadder: Well I thought I could take her a short note expressing your honourable intentions.
George: Yes, yes, I think so too. All right then, well take this down. Eh,"From His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales to Miss Amy Hardwood: Tally-ho my fine saucy young trollop! Your luck's in! Trip along here with all your cash, and some naughty night attire, and you'll be staring at my bedroom ceiling from now till Christmas, you lucky tart! Yours with the deepest respect etc, signed George. PS: Woof woof!" Well, what do you think?
Blackadder: It's very... moving sir. Would you mind if I change just one tiny aspect of it?
George: Which one?
Blackadder: The words.

A step up from Rimmer and his Puncture Repair Kit. Can Loving a Robot Lead to Divorce? Weird article. It's about the future of sex robots, but it's entirely devoted to what effect they'd have on a marriage. Are they nuts? Any woman who'd let her husband have something like that (for $7,000, no less) would be out of her mind. Singles would be the market for something like this.

I don't know about robots, but I am aware of people that have real life and second life spouses. Some folks are apparently okay with this....others, not so much.
