FIST

New page

The '''Iron Fist''' (also known as "Iron Fist Week") usually occurs when the [[:Category:Moderators|moderators]] of RR get fed up with the immense amount of junk being posted in RR and do something about it. This "something" is usually in the form of larger-than-usual amounts of threads being locked, usually with the mod that closes the topic posting "FIST" at the end.

==History of the Iron Fist==
It is unclear who started the Iron Fist tradition, but it is usually attributed to [[Giboc]]. It is also unclear when the original Iron Fist weeks were due to the Great RR Purge. However, the last one was on Thanksgiving Weekend of 2005.

[[Pun|Ironically]], Iron Fist weeks were causes of great joy in the posters in RR, despite the greater risk of having their threads FISTed. It is unclear why this is; however, the most common explanation has to do with how RR members' brains (don't) work.

==Iron Fist Today==
The Iron Fist was reimplemented by [[Crapstorm]] on September 26, 2006, to much fanfare by the regulars. Originally thought to be a week long, it has turned out to be an ongoing feature of the forum.
