User blog:MsD/A new sandwich policy

In response to the recent arguments regarding sandwiches here at the LMBW, a new policy has been created by the administrators effective immediately. We've had a lot of problems with sandwiches in the past, some ending in last-resort punishments, so hopefully this new policy will clarify what crosses the line and resolve any issues.

Please note that this policy is not a response to Ireithien's recent blog. We started working on this policy before he wrote the blog, and have finally decided to post it. Other modifications to the policy may deal with the suggestions, however. Let's pretend that last sentence didn't contradict everything I just said.

Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to explain what a sandwich is, to establish what is acceptable, and what action may be taken by staff members if a sandwich is imminent.

What is a sandwich?
A sandwich is a food item commonly eaten by young children, due to the ease at which they can be crafted. For this reason, they are especially dangerous here at the LMBW to all of its users. Examples of sandwiches include, but are not limited to:
 * Ham
 * Cheese
 * Ham & Cheese
 * Whole Grain/Wheat (especially dangerous)
 * Chicken
 * Bacon
 * Ham, Cheese, and Lettuce
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich,_Illinois

Jokes
Inserting a tongue smiley or other emoticons after a sandwich does not make it okay. Even if you view it as harmless and innocent others may find it offensive and death-defying. If there is a chance that the sandwich would harm someone, do not post it.

Threats to create or eat a sandwich are not okay merely as jokes. Sometimes it is very difficult to see if the sandwich is a lie; so don't do it because we're too lazy to figure it out.

What is not a sandwich?
Anything that Alemas doesn't think is.

Consequences of making sandwiches
Users who make sandwiches on chat, blogs, blog comments, or other places on the wiki may be blocked or banned by an administrator (or Alemas) depending on the severity of the sandwich, and the type it is. Warnings will usually be issued on first time offenses (unless you're M.c, in that case it's banhammers away).

Common sense
Nobody has it. No sense in trying to knock it in to someone by forcing them to read it. By the way, if you've read this far, you have no life. :P
