    Feel free to catch me up anytime




    Being a d**k
    Even though my first infraction, was for a swear word.


    Tiresome trolling

    Apparently disliking the French, is a crime here.


    Insulted Other Member(s)
    I insulted someone, after they insulted me.


    Inappropriate Language

    Well yes, I used a swear word, but in a situational context, not one to derive malice.
    You're quite new here. Is there a difference in treatment of different posters, i.e. Newbies as opposed to veterans?

      That is quite a rap-sheet for only 2 months / 240-odd posts

          Indeed! I think of rep as in how correct one can be

          If a newbie here, argues with a veteran and has a differing opinion, they are called a troll (incorrect definition of the word).

          Be too mild mannered and get eaten alive, be too forthwright with your opinion and get eaten alive.

          So the real question is what tastes better with human flesh, ketchup or bown sauce? Personally, Ive tried that Levi Roots BBQ sauce recently, yummmmmmm !!

                So, what you are saying wim121 is that the treatment of a veteran and a newbie is different and that the bias is against the Newbie and towards the verteran.

                It can't be good commercially for CUK if Newbies are discouraged whereas veterans are a protected species and can insult newbies all they want without fear of being given an infraction by Moderators whereas Newbies cannot even relatiate in kind for fear of receiving an infraction.

                That strikes me as both unfair and not good commercial sense for CUK.

                It is like a school where the bullies and the teachers are in league - to the long term detriment of the school.

                  That's true of any forum / website in the world.

                  Anyone who is unknown and draws attention to themselves, be it a differing opinion or giving advice that wasn't asked for will be called a troll. They either live with it while continuing to be a member or flounce out to the next forum.

                    That's not my experience of other Forums.

                      Not to revisit the thread, but all I offered was my view on sexism as that was the subject being discussed, so it wasnt actually trolling ...

                      But you are correct, craic may call it unfair, but veteran people always have an easier time than noobs.
