I have set up a formal CUK cretinwatch group, not just to keep an eye on things, but as a post-apocalyptic refuge for continuity in case the worst happens.

I'm afraid it's too late. We've been over-run with cretins. And you can't tell any any more. Sometimes people appear normal then reveal themselves as a cretin.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostOK folks, we've let this slip recently, and we can see the results. Now that there's a proper group established, we can bring a bit more rigour to our vigilance.
I'm going to make a last ditch stand at my local, if you can prove you're not a cretin you're welcome to join me - we can try and keep them at bay.

As a reminder, the board has an algorithm to automatically identify potential cretins among new members. The on-duty moderator will confirm a cretin and then an automated SMS goes to whoever is on-call on the Cretinwatch rota. This ensures an early commencement of bullying, which is of obvious benefit to us all. Just PM me or Admin if you want to join.
