We've always had this, which covers almost everything you mention. (It's in the 'Read our finest words' box over in the sidebar on the right.)
From our first ever month of posting, July 2007: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2007/07/21/mmo-kidnapping/
It's temporarily closed due to bastard spammers relentlessly targeting it. It'll be open again soon, once we've erected new anti-bastard defences.
Hello, I am Alec Meer, unshaven co-editorperson of the good ship Rock, Paper, Shotgun, and I am also known as bonzrat.7490.
In theory trading ok, but it is of course at all involved parties' own risk. We take no responsibility if a deal goes south in any way.
You are too impatient, sir.
Much as he's been doing a stand-up job, Craig is only temporary cover until we've decided on the news person, I can assure you. He has his own grand plans.
Sorry we're taking a while to sort out...
We are not entirely masters of our spam filter, but it will continue to be tweaked/shouted at over time. We do check what's been spammed on an semi-regular basis, so a lot of false positives end up...
Unkind characters found their way here, so sadly cleaning up and locking.
I'll link again to the obituary and portfolio on Awesome Robo, which offers a far better tribute than the RPS story.

News and stuff got in the way today, but Ian's next chapter isn't far off.
(Essential problem with diaries is we've always got tons of other stuff to play and write about, not that we're lazy. But...
What Flint said. The vast majority of our readers are lovely, and we love them and what they have to say. But in the past we've seen people turn up with axes to violently grind even in the face of...
Yes, it is a ban. You've been attacking too many people and starting too many fights lately, and it's unacceptable behaviour on RPS. About to turn off forum account too; mail me if you want to try...
There isn't any wallpaper in my house. It's all painted plaster walls. Not like the Flash Gordon wallpaper I had when I was a kid.
(Thanks, chaps).
Sorry for slowness there! We'd not forgotten, just got swamped by stuff.
We miss him too, but he's lost to the cold but affluent arms of marketing now.
I do wonder if people just tend to remember anger more than joy, however.
"You're joking right? Johns the worst offender when it comes to pulling stuff straight off of Reddit or throwing a wobbly over something ('It's 10.30 and I can't login to TOR!!') without thinking it...
While all of us weighing in risks a bit of "we've got their attention! Let's go in for the kill!" situation, couple of things I'd like to add.
Firstly - feature content is up, massively up, from...
Sorry that you're cancelling Sheng-ji, but doubly sorry that we didn't spot the unacceptable insults levelled at you. No double standards - we just didn't see it, as we're not always able to monitor...
We're not at all shy about it and it's flattering to win, but it's an inter-industry award voted for by a very small number of people rather than a The World Loves RPS! kinda thing, so didn't seem...
This is your last warning before a ban, Redox.
We are only a four-man team. We try to cover as much as we can as quickly as we can, but that inevitably is not everything, due to the sheer scale of...
No it's not a bloody ad, you loony.
Hmm, there is supposed to be a response when people subscribe - something must have broken. Will look into it. Sorry about that, but seriously: thanks very much for subscribing!
