I also think the moderators could be friendlier. Especially Ron.

Last time someone called him Ron they got banned! (Well, that wasn’t the reason for the ban, but still….!)

That's not very forgiving. Or friendly.

Yeah, we are implementing the “do as we say, not as we do” mode of moderation. It seems to work really well in a lot of settings. 

Bridgethouse. fnar fnar.

Are you assuming my sex?

I am assuming you're sexy. And friendly. 

See you in the park at 10.00pm then

You didn't turn up.

That wasn't very friendly.

Faintly chewy, though.

Very sensibly warned off by your confirmed positive status as a carrier for all kinds of infectious ideas & bugs & shit.

Relax. It was just a joke. We were never going to meet up on account of not liking each other very much.

IT WAS JUST A JOKE! STAND DOWN! STAND DOWN!

The last time I told someone to f off was after they were very antagonistic. In that case I was told I could learn a thing or too off them by a mod min and given a slap on the wrists. Funnily enough the person I told to F off was late found to be an utter cunt and perma banned. Sometimes you don't need to tell them to do one and just wait for them to burt themselves. But they still offended me, didn't play the ball and the moderator didn't acknowledge that which was disappointing

The moderators don’t read every post. Some days we only have time to read the posts which get flagged. 

Our advice remains not to feed the trolls by responding to them, and to flag anything which you think is not appropriate.

Good to see you have clarified the rules.  Abuse is never ok, either on the site or via threats of violence in PM.

Threats of violence aren't okay, now.

Threats of violence never were OK on this forum

As the recepient of several, things look very different from the victims side.

I couldn't agree more with you, Drew.  When you're on the receiving end it can be a shock to the system and something you don't forget.  Anyway, this was back in 2017, but I'm not one to bear a grudge.

Because people have empty lives that they have to fill with violent fantasies. Golf clap for the victim blaming though!

 As opposed to metaphysical knife attacks???

OK, I think this has gone far enough from the original announcement that we can close it without losing anything. I'll leave it stickied for a little while to catch any stragglers...
