What is that sound? Did someone leave the tap on? Is there a leak somewhere?

Maybe it's raining. It hasn't rained in a long time. She remembers one rainy day in particular, from before she planted her wishing tree under which she weeps. She remembers the smell of sweat, clinging cloth to skin, streaming down a forehead. The all-too-red blush on cheeks. Wheezing and coughing and puffing, creaking planks and a leaky roof (her father will fix it, surely).

Maggot Brain

Lying to your right, she turned to face you, her right arm under her head, her left folded across her chest. Her hair fell over the sides of her head, lookig faintly almond-like in the scarcely moonlit room. You were half awake, in a daze, your head heavy. Between nearly shut eyes, you could see her lips moving. "Here, little maggot brain".

["here little maggot brain" repeated in several ways, over a rough sketch of a blank face]

It passed through your head. Over and over. "Here, little maggot brain". Was it inviting? Was it mocking? Was it a question, or a statement?

I had a balloon.
But I don't any more.
One day,
    I got up,
        and the balloon was gone.
I looked in the closet,
         in the drawer,
         in the other pocket,
But the balloon was just gone.
It was pretty sad.

Overview

Current situation: A small amount of users annoy the lot of us, we have no power to ban them, mods are annoyed.

Official solution: Go into Gallery mode, so all users can view, only users with explicit write permissions can write. This has the problem of approving users. We don't want to manually approve nearly everyone just to disapprove a small number.

Wayward solution: Use Gallery mode with the bot. When a user enters the room, the bot grants him write access automatically. As it's automatic, the transition is nearly seamless. An owner can then use the bot to ban a user. In that case, the user has his write privilege revoked, and will not be granted write access the next times he comes.

Assumption: ↑ (nand) is defined

not A = ¬A = A ↑ A

A and B = A ∧ B = ¬(A ↑ B)

A or B = A ∨ B = ¬(¬A ∧ ¬B)
