It means stop talking so much.

No, it's generally not "forever".

You get the 'Canned' title when you've behaved badly. While it is possible to get rid of it with astonishingly good behavior and contributions, I wish you luck. You'll need it. Zephyr Tempest has been Canned for as long as I can remember, and he's neither a newbie nor the most annoying of spammers.

One more thing, I believe the 'stop talking so much' comment was ironical. It does not mean 'stop talking so much' (or else Alorael would have been Triple Canned). It can, however, mean 'stop spamming' or 'stop flaming'.

More specifically, the Canned title refers to the Can of Spam avatar (back when we had avatars here) given to spammers. If you misbehave and spam too much (as you have been doing), you get the Canned title, which can only go away through extraordinarily good behavior. Also note that "Canned" is only one letter away from "Banned". If you continue your bad behavior after Canning, you will be banned.

I'll try to lighten up, get my head clear.
Then I'll just pretend I've restarted my account.
Hope everything works out for all of us, and sorry to those who I may have upset.

So, why Prometheus have a "Trademark" title?
And why someone (or maybe all) say that is a people-offender? :)

I used to think it was because TM actually was the trademark of Spiderweb.

TM = ™, and ™ = trademark.

Thus, TM = trademark.

Ed, you changed your moniker again? Why?

Eddie's been changing his name more and less frequently than once a day. Alorael's name changing schedule is safe. Changing something once a day, ironically enough, requires both perseverance and restraint.

Dikiyoba dislikes spammers. They give frequent posters a bad name.

With the (obvious) few exceptions, yes.

Frequent posters are simply spammers who can obey the Code of Conduct.

I've been canned for about 2 years now. I'm still sick of it.

Oh, and that's the best definition of frequent poster I've ever heard, Dikiyoba.
