The editors a hypocrite

[crossroads]

In the site rules it states that users are not to obtain multiple usernames. Editor has got:
AB Asks
AB Editor
I know lots of us lot have multiple names but if the ed has surley we have the right to own them?

[DJerba]

How do you know its the same person?

It might be 2 completely different people on the editorial team...you know what they say about assuming dont you crossroads?

[kempie]

People tend to have the strange notion that this site is a democracy. Nobody has any rights here.

The AB Editor can do anything he/she wants, whereas we lesser mortals should follow the Site Rules or suffer the consequence.

Know your place

this is a private enterprise, opened to the public for free. As nobody pays any subscriptions, or even buys anything from the advertisers (I'm guessing), nobody has any rights, but they do have a lot of privileges. Not a bad deal, really.

AB Asks is a house name, which as DJerba says could be used by anyone on the extremely large and wide-ranging staff, from the Grand High Inquisitor to the guy who feeds the yaks. AB Editor is the AB editor

There's adverts on this site?

Thank heavens for AdBlocker. I've never seen one advert.

[Ebbs]

LOL Ethel look to your right

[nuoyg]

Ethel - what's an ad blocker?

[dot.hawkes]

ethel y6ou are kidding, the whole site ios riddled with adverts which musy have a auto trigger thing built into the software cos they appear in unison with the tipics we post about!!!!!!!!! If someone asked a question about handbags, lots iof links to handbags will appear, and at the moment there is a buying the car ad at the top, a halifax pet insurance one beneath here and a parcel force ad to the bottom left!!!!!!!!! and they all flash too!!!

lol @ olly, the most over used reply from people addicted to the internet !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ethel]

Well I'll be blowed, dot.

I use Firefox as my browser and have adblocker and noscript, which cuts a lot of the flash and advertising out.

Hurrah! A screenshot of AnswerBank as I see it:
