Well maybe you 2 could help raise the standard by making more pleasant posts?

Thanks for that Disco. You're like Spacecadet, I see you, but I'm not always sure I do.

I suppose it's like a Tardis perception filter.

This from you has given me a huge smile before bed. It is so good I am almost aroused.

Thanks, tay!

No problem. Sweet dreams.

Why didnt you just threaten him with an infraction?
Why did he go straight to ban?

To be fair to the moderation team, scotspine gave me an infraction. Just before a different moderator banned me.

I thought it was fair comment since I had read somewhere that the context was what made the difference, and used a phrase that has been used 41 times on CUK in the past (including by other moderators), including

All fairly recent, so it's not as if it has suddenly become a banned phrase - or has it?

I hope Faqqer comes back.

Otherwise it is just a victory for the the forces of darkness with their self proclaimed vision of getting anyone who disagrees with them banned.

Back, but not for long I suspect.

Welcome back.

As I alluded to in another thread. I reported a post I thought contained abusive name calling, but it has been let go.

I am confused as to wether this means that word is allowed.. or just allowed by certain people. I guess the same query applies to your examples.

Evening Faqqer. I can see the mods looking out of the jail now, pulling on their boots and thinking 'oh bollocks'.

Of course, Xen had a word for bottom removed, but it's OK to put it as a username.

Interesting.

That's unlikely to happen again, as we now have a moderator forum where we can discuss action before it is taken.
