As for the innuendo - doesn't bother me, find it mildly amusing. there are too many conversations in my life that are hard work so base humour kind of cheers me. If I find the underlying topic serious enough to warrant a response I just ignore the wise cracks and respond to the topic.
Just forced to watch too many as a kid.....I also think that some threads get too heavy and a large injection of silliness is needed to break it up a bit. I do as I said, understand Ren's viewpoint and will bear it in mind when I feel the need to make inappropriate posts.

Not in the slightest, I like it as much as the next person (smut and innuendo that is) but of late it seems that the same few posters go off on this tangent on just about every thread and it just gets a bit boring

I think reporting it is the only real solution tbh.

I see your point too and I am certainly not the fun police. Its just that the main bulk of some people's contributions is made up of innuendo and winking smilies. I just wanted to know if it bothered anyone else. I didn't actually have you in mind when I started the thread by the way. But thanks for your honest reply.
Look, why don't you just start naming names? Why all the mystery?

You are very easily annoyed if a bunch of people posting winking smilies gets to you so much

I think there are enough people commenting on it for the point to be valid. Some, myself included, often take a thread off track with inane babble. It's never intentional but I can see how it would frustrate some posters.
Perhaps we should launch some threads for childish innuendo and smut and try to keep it off boring politics and shopping threads

Its not really a question of being a dobber. None of us Mods can read everything, and there are some posts/threads that should be closed/deleted/edited etc which we just don't happen to look at. We see it more as asking other posters to help us maintain the site as the majority of users want it to be, and thus keep it as good as its always been so even if you aren't sure about a post but just think it could benefit from a Mod looking at it - or even a move to a more appropriate forum, please report it as we do appreciate everyone's help
