Inappropriate Jokes and blonde

[Dingdell]

I play under a mans name online and have often been accused of playing like a girl.......is this an insult or just a good read? 

[CelticGeezeer]

Food for thought perhaps, before the PC police take over the word.

There is now much activity, even at this late hour, in what Sark describes as the Mods "secret room"....

It is there, I tell you.  I saw it by accident. One night before I was about to go to bed, I was clicking around between threads as usual. Right before my eyes it flashed.  I panicked and remembered back to the movie "WarGames" starring Mathew Broderick.  I expected the Mods to exert their power and have me incarcerated in a hidden jail in the desert which they use for such an occurrence.  All this because I saw their secret room.   The images still haunts my mind. Tikay with his train set, Kev with his box of pies and the rest all sitting around drinking tea and eating custard creams.   It was a lavishly decorated room with a gold finish on all the furniture in case you were wondering.

we do try and keep the homophobic posts off the board infact a certain blondite and a big bugger at that threaten to beat me up when i removed certain posts off his about another certain blondite

if you see any post that you think might cause someone offence please click the report to moderator button and we will try and solve the issue as soon as we can but it would be impossible for us to modertate post before they are put up but we try and get any offensive posts off ASAP

Are you sure you are allowed to say Bugger ? 

[stallyon]

Are you sure you are allowed to say Bugger ? 

i think your allowed to say bugger if it were as an outburst e.g. oh bugger

i even think your allowed to say the word bugger to tell someone to go away e.g. bugger off

i dont think though your allowed to use it as a verb e.g. flushy buggered tank senselessly

i could be wrong though and can see this post getting deleted

[TightEnd]

I think that illustration is perfect


In a fit of weakness, I will even not delete one of Stallyon's posts containing such language as it makes the point on what is or isn't allowed perfectly IMO

[ifm]

though if it's just banter?

[stallyon]

OMG, i think i need to go lay down somewhere 

[TightEnd]

though if it's just banter?

I know, its difficult isn't it?

I though Stallyon got it spot on. You might disagree. Not easy.

Can I just say one thing on this subject-
If we cant call flushy queer,Tikay and old fart, Kev bog eyed, me a fat fish or threaten to let ironsides tyres down then how on earth are we going to have fun on here. Banter between mates is just that. Please don't make blonde too PC. Flushy has always been mocked for being the other way- its probably what most members know him for (even though its allegedly not true). If Flushy took real offence I can understand but he plays along with it. To say the homosexual community would be offended to have flushy counted as one of them is ridiculous imo. And before anyone says it I am not a homophobe.
Juvenile fun maybe, offensive surely not.

[Colchester Kev]

well i never !!!!   I agree with every word Ariston has written ..... i must be ill

I truly believe this forum was built on the humour of it's frequenters, if you intend to police the hell out of everyone it becomes less fun and therefore less interesting.
It's one thing to call a new member names and another entirely to have a pop at flushy or i, we know it's banter and everyone who looks can see plainly that it is too.
There are many more established fora out there with far fewer regular posters, this place has grown incredibly and continues to do so, why fix it if it isn't broken?
Much better to police it on an individual post basis rather than blanket banning certain words.
Just my opinion, feel free to give me grief i can take it.

Good post Ariston!!

[stallyon]

i think that most posts are taken in the ligh-heartedness that they were meant...if, though, a post does get a bit cutting and a bit below the belt then, it is in these rare circumstances that the forum police should then step in and deal with accordingly

[ariston]

Ive only just noticed how much you look like rob "the monkster" yong in your avatar stallyon (except you have more hair obviously). Quite an uncanny resemblence.
