Obviously the same things make us smile.

Quick, back on topic...

It appears that you are only as safe as your last post.

Clearly, we're living on borrowed time/the edge, depending upon the whim of a shadowy figure with an agenda.

OK, so why not have a Sin Bin instead? Restrict their access - for a specified period of time - to one separate dedicated forum only (The Sin Bin), to which nobody else has access. That way these people can happily spend their days calling each other twunts without getting in anybody else's way.

The forum would belong in The Arrse Hole, naturally.

Why don't the site members, and I appreciate this is a whacky, mad-cap notion, refrain from treating every single forum like the NAAFI and post with their sensible heads on rather than going for shock everywhere?

One day when Damocles complimented the tyrant on his abundance and power, Dionysius turned to Damocles and said, "If you think I'm so lucky, how would you like to try out my life?"

Damocles readily agreed, and so Dionysius ordered everything to be prepared for Damocles to experience what life as Dionysius was like. Damocles was enjoying himself immensely... until he noticed a sharp sword hovering over his head, that was suspended from the ceiling by a horse hair. This, the tyrant explained to Damocles, was what life as ruler was really like.

Damocles, alarmed, quickly revised his idea of what made up a good life, and asked to be excused. He then eagerly returned to his poorer, but safer life.

Those Greeks eh?

Its the idiot posters that cause a reaction from members so it's not fair to penalise members for it - why not bin daft comments and posts as they appear - the poster will soon get the message - aka - contact wait out, big lee napes, threestripedtwat etc etc

As I've said on here before; let us worry about binning stuff. We don't need a protective QRF piling in frothing with outrage.

You'd be instantly "made free" by a few Grammar Nazis - there should be a hyphen between 'bi' and 'gender' and the 'i' in "i'm looking forward" should be capitalized.

I think you'd be quite lonely, though, as that's quite a niche group you belong to.

Where's the fun in that?

The rules apply to the MOD's as well ?
