Let's add mark_playgtr to that list. Didn't spot it at first.

At his own request @darthed1981 is taking a break from the forum.

@pwn57ar has been sent back to ScammerWorld. They will doubtless return under another name, so stay vigilant.

The Duck Faced Woman thread has been fed to the ducks.

Deadman has left “this far-left, hate-filled, extremist forum”.

Blaendulais' account has been closed, at his own request.

Just a reminder to all: if you're going to throw accusations of racism/sexism/antisemitism/anythingelse-ism at the forum as your reason for wanting your account closed, it detracts somewhat from your argument if we haven't seen a single flag report from you and looks more like saltiness after losing a debate.

Spam thread from a long-inactive member exiled. This is not the sales channel he was looking for.

The “Typical Metallica Fan” thread has been removed. I sat looking at it for several minutes trying to work out who threw the first stone. Eventually I decided that it wasn’t worth the time or energy to unwind.

Right, guys...c'mon. Anyone ever wonder why some people accuse this forum of being a sexist trash heap?

There's been an absolute rash of it lately. When anybody can visit the site and encounter OnlyFans links (this was the final straw), the inevitable end result is that a disgruntled somebody reports us to Ofcom and the site gets shut down.

I'm busting my ass trying to keep the place from falling foul of the Online Safety Act, all I ask is that y'all work with me here a bit. Unless, of course, you want me to be forced into age-gating the entire damn site.

Keep it in your pants, please, lest we be forced to start putting people in the cooler.

For the avoidance of doubt, this is not censorship. This is an expectation that we can all be grown-ups and sensible about what we post online, with an awareness of who else might be reading it.

Thread on ways to watch football matches without paying removed, for quite obvious reasons.

Roland

Overland Express thread closed. Disputes between customer and supplier are rarely resolved by posting inflammatory comments on this forum. The two parties need to discuss and resolve privately.
