I'm not british, from eastern EU. I always admired the subtle british humour and skills to joke, sometimes very bitter, about all parts of their society and life. AFAIK till now only HM was immune.
Now it appears that some other part of the BRITISH society becomes untouchable.
That's pity.

No, it's not that at all - it's more about the utter boredom created by some people repeating the same things over and over again... a bit like an aging parent who tells the same antiquated and cringe-worthy jokes all the time, to the extent that, after a while, you either ask him if it's time for his nap, or get up and make a cup of tea.

I wonder why the moderators havent picked up the common themes (and its usually to a handful of people) - apart from once during the recent threads.
Because we're bored of reading the same stuff over and over too.

Sorry everyone ............ rather over enthusiastic consumption of Irish cider last night. Plenty of good wine in Italy, but no cider.

It was lovely by the way

Indeed. Won't be too much longer before you won't be able to mention anything, about anyone, in anyway, without fear of causing offence to somebody... or have we already reached that point?

Missing the point a bit. You are not supposed to discuss the actions of the Mods, at all, in the open forum.

As for Jackthehat's supposed slight... meh. Mountain out of a molehill springs to mind.

Don't do it again. It's not on. You've wasted my time, and trolled in a few threads. If you've got issues with another member do me favour and either take it up privately with said person, or put them on ignore.

Thanks

you're confusing the kitties! I don't have a personal trainer and successfully avoid the gym whenever possible... lifting 30kg of assorted child every day keeps my goddess-like physique in tip-top condition! hahahahahaha

Sorry but I disagree - the whole point of a moderator is moderate and be pro-active. Just becase the text you read is boring or not is not the issue as it is your role, in my opinion, to promote interaction between the users.

Moderators plus all sign up to the terms and conditions on the board, where it states: Without limiting the foregoing, the following behaviors are strictly prohibited:

Strong, vulgar, obscene or otherwise harmful language,
Racially, ethnically or otherwise, objectionable language,
Harassing, intimidating, stalking or threatening other community members,
Libelous, defamatory or otherwise tortuous language,
Online vandalism,
Invasion of another's privacy,
Actions that are hurtful to minors.

There have been clear breaches of the above recently.

Long term, what would you expect people to post about? The weather?
